I am so happy we stumbled upon this place after the restaurant we tried to go to was closed. Such a blessing in disguise lol. This place is AMAZING!! It was very busy but we didn't wait long to get seated and were greeted right away. The fresh squeezed OJ is a must. We had the shrimp and grits and the Bearcat breakfast and I must say, this was top 3 breakfast I've ever had. Fluffy, delicious eggs,

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are in New Orleans, you HAVE to eat here. I just had hands-down the best breakfast of my life at Bearcat Cafe. I built my own dream meal from the 'Bad Cat' menu: perfectly crisp potatoes, amazing bacon, and the Peach Cobbler Pancakes are an absolute game-changer. Also tried a biscuit smothered in their rich, flavorful crawfish cream sauce topped with eggs, and it blew me away. Washed

A friend recommended we come here and glad we did! A parking lot is on the corner. You sign in at the kiosk outside the front door and wait to be called in for your table. Waitstaff was friendly and helpful. The sausage is bison, eggs are cooked to order, and pancakes were light and fluffy, mine had the addition of blue berries. Great experience.

Expensive brunch for 5 end up with a $250. Bill. Charged xtra 20percent tip and also a charge for employee care. Wait time is long. Parking is tricky. Food is great and service is great. Had to try to see what all the fuss is about. Would come back for the good but not the wait time. Juices are great!
