We came in for lunch and ordered the buffa burger. Ordered it medium rare and it came out. PERFECT. They had a seasoning called Slap Ya Mama that I will definitely purchase for future use. Everyone was very nice. Don’t miss this gem of a find. There is live music in the back at night.
The friendly neighborhood Buffa's... bar, restaurant, music venue, popularized in the HBO series, 'Treme' as headquarters for the Desire gang, although it's always been a popular and convenient place on Esplanade. Bar in the front room and another nar and table seating in back where they have music performers. Good place for food when most restaurants are closed.
This is quickly becoming a late night or early morning go-to spot for me. Quality beverages at a good price, great food, and good music! 24/7 eats including breakfast or dinner anytime. I've destroyed some chimichangas the last couple of visits - they're my fav. Pardon my pics, I start in before I think to snap a photo. I've met some wonderful and interesting people, like something out of a John Kennedy Toole novel. On the border between The Quarter and The Marigny, it's easily accessible from the #8 Rampart Streetcar that runs from Union Terminal if coming/going from Amtrak/FlixBus/Greyhound/202 RTA Airport Express, and other public transpo. Easy 20 min walk from Canal. Live music calendar on their website is up to date with traditional Jazz, Cajun, and a variety of local singers and songwriters. The music venue is adjacent, with an entrance on Burgundy - tickets available through their website. If the Dunces reference rings true for you, you can visit Ignatius J. Reilly's statue under the clock on the down-river side of the 800 block of Canal Street, a short through The French Quarter.
Fun place, great bartender, great food. I had the Reuben sandwich with fries. Also took home the delicious whiskey bread pudding.
