Nu Orleans

The waitress made a small error in our order but was so amazing in fixing it. That it turned into an amazing find with some of the best American style chickens wings we have found. Thus the reason I give it 5/5 great job

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and thought it would be busier. Perhaps it's more of a nighttime venue though... I had a cheeseburger and my husband the pulled pork and po boy sandwich. Mine was ok. The meat was overcooked and I was disappointed to find it was served with regular tomato sauce. For a restaurant style burger, tomato sauce doesn't cut it. My husband on the other hand loved his, thought it was delicious. So a bit of a mixed review from me. Service was friendly and meals came out quick. Also great that it's on the Entertainment Card.

Love it! The food is great, the atmosphere very nice and the waiting staff are friendly and efficient. I usually order the ribs as they are fantastic! Their prices are really good! Highly recommend.

For my overnight business trip I searched for something a little different, and absolutely found it at Nu Orleans.

It was a busy night, which was surprising for... Well... For Ipswich on a Thursday night. I ordered the Steak, Ribs and Shrimp combo and a Long Island Iced Tea.

The good was great:

- the Pork Ribs - OMG tender and.the tastiest rib sauce I've ever had. Sweet, Tangy and not at all cloying as they can sometimes be.
- the Onion Rings - I don't know what they did to them, but soooooo crunchy and flavourful, despite just being onion and batter.
- the Dianne Sauce - I travel a lot for work and I LOVE a good Dianne sauce, among others, so I asked my waiter, Alan, which sauce he recommended and he went all shopping network excited about the Dianne Sauce, so I gave it a go. It is hands down the BEST Dianne sauce I've ever tasted.
- the Long Island Iced Tea - holy crap!! It was like 5 strong drinks in 1 for alcohol content, but went down like a really delicious virgin cocktail. It put a big smile on my face from first sip to last gulp. It may account a little for the effusiveness of this review.
- the STAFF- I ended up meeting a few of the staff throughout my adventure to Nu Orleans. The absolutely fabulous Alan, a very friendly sista of African ancestry who may or may not have come via New Orleans, and a young, and friendly blond Anglo Australian co-lover of rarish meats with beautiful tattoos.

The bad was really ok:

- It was busy but my meal came out in a timely manner. When the waiter delivered it, she immediately checked if I'd ordered a drink. I had and it still took a while to come out, but as mentioned before, it was worth the wait.
- I was offered, and accepted table water at the same time, but it never came, which I wasn't totally fussed about considering the aforementioned delight in my cocktail.

The ugly was a small glitch:

- the Steak component of my meal was not, as I had ordered it, "the rare side of medium rare", but rather the rare side of extremely well done. Just after I had cut into it in disappointment, I managed to catch one of the incredibly busy waiter's eye's with my look of disappointment and she stopped, turned and came back very graciously. She asked if something was wrong, saw the slice of uneaten steak and looked concerned. I said, regretfully, that I could forgive most things but that I like my steak bleeding and not grey but it's ok because I could see they were swamped. She said, "nonsense, I like rare steak too and I feel your pain." (ok, perhaps the long Island Ice Tea I was 3 parts through might have translated that for me). In any case, she took it away on a side plate and had a perfectly cooked substitute back in about 2 minutes more than it would have taken to cook it.

All up, it was a delicious (and massive) meal, that really worked for me. Sirprisingly, I find myself longing for my next work trip to Ipswich, just so I can enjoy their hospitality again.

Had our first experience at Nu Orleans tonight. We will definitely be back. We had the wings as a starter and they are out of this world!! The wait staff are very attentive and upon leaving the manager came out and made sure we were happy. Would recommend this place 100% to anyone.

Just had a delicious fix of New Orleans foodie heaven... The Gumbo is amazing I've had it about 10 times now via uber eats and finally got into the restaurant it self to take pics to share the yummy food.. definitely worth the drive. Can't wait to come back here again. Staff are friendly and the Chef is great too.

we ate here for breakfast on the weekend. the owner is really friendly and cool. the food was quick and the coffee was good :)

I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Damn the food really hit the spot. The coffee could probably do with being made with a smoother bean for those that don't like a strong bean, but they made the coffee clean tasting though which was good. The meals were fair priced and were filling, the staff were very welcoming and acted like most staff wont in Australia.. out the front of the restaurant greeting passers by in a professional, friendly and informative way without seeming desperate. The man I believed was the owner had great body language and was very welcoming and seemed to be quite engaged with his level of care. It was a good experience coming here
