Reviews
Finding a spot in New Orleans with great food and great service is a win, and Sneaky Pickle and Bar Brine delivers on both. The kitchen does amazing things with fresh, local ingredients. Everything on the menu feels intentional and tastes incredibly fresh. The staff makes the experience even better. The servers are attentive, friendly, and fast. They know the menu well and give great recommendations. Whether you drop in for a casual lunch or head over for evening drinks and dinner, the team takes great care of you.
Wow - this place is incredible!!! Everything was fresh and creative. They have tons of vegan options for lunch, and some (but not as many which is a bummer) for dinner. Tasty frozen drinks too.
Loved it. I didn't have anything that we disliked. We basically got the whole small plates list (pickle plate, bok choy, Brussels toast, tofu tacos) and my friend and I split the small Mac and cheese (which was plenty). All was delicious and plant-based. My punch was very good too. They had some cute tshirts and great artwork on the walls. I eat vegan but I appreciate they have some nonvegan food on the menu so I could bring people with me who don't exclusively eat plants. We got the lunch menu but I would come back for the dinner menu too.
This place was so AMAZING we had to visit it twice during our trip. First experience = Bar Brine. Great menu. Low-key atmosphere. Buffalo tofu wraps were light, refreshing, and filling. The mac & cheese was creamy. Loved the broccoli in it. The grilled romanesco was recommended by our server, Gavin, and it did not disappoint. Partner enjoyed his alcoholic beverage. Came back for lunch the next day. Same relaxed atmosphere, but with a twist -- order at the hostess station and seat yourself. Food was just as incredible. Tofu taco, egg rolls, and reuben. Plus the sneaky punch. All phenomenal. Even ordered a wagyu burger + fries to-go for a colleague, who was impressed by the flavors and portion sizes. Everything was divine. 100% recommend. For vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike! If we lived closer, we'd frequent this establishment often.
Food is tasty. Vegan Mac and cheese was a nice surprise. Steak and pompano collar were seasoned well and tasty. Service is great. Friendly spot. Very chill atmosphere.
