Crispy Cauliflower
"Cauli" it what you want; I call it delicious! This dish throws all preconceived notions of cauliflower out the door, in the best way possible.
Mama's Chicken
Hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had!
Pasta Jenny
This dish is amazing ! It's beyond filling & the rich sauce and flavor really make it a favorite! The savory authentic flavor is unmatched . If you visit, it's a must try !
Dirty Dirty Bowl
A delicious melody of bold, savory breakfast flavor that goes perfect with a Bloody Mary. The biscuit that comes with the dish is really amazing too. It perfectly complimented the rice, eggs and hollandaise. Generous portion for the price. Would totally order it again.
Dragos
This dish amongst the rest of the beautiful dishes is a clear symbol of how elegant, and sexy, and flavorful the whole menu is.
Gene's Po Boy
The closest you can get to an authentic NOLA Po Boy anywhere outside of the Crescent City. While 2019 saw the closure of the O.G. (Original Gene's, 😔 ), this tangy, delicious mouthful is a fiiiiiiine tribute and a worthy successor. Best enjoyed with a cocktail because... duh.
Crawfish Monica Ribeye
One of the best Ribeye Steaks i have had and the sauce on it was awesome!!! Great Favor!!!!
The Bayou
Me and my date came here for the first time 12/15/2019 The people there was so friendly and made us both feel very welcomed. We ordered our food and when it arrived, it was amazing!! He started off with the Red Beans and Rice, I had the shrimp Po'Boy and he had the Blackened fish. The waitress was so sweet and nice, she also made our visit that much more enjoyable. I don't remember her name but she was expecting!! We both left the restaurant saying we would definitely come back. I'm at work telling all my Co-Workers about the place!! Thank you for the best time on a first date!
Alligator Andouille Cheesecake
Best thing I've ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth! I was so excited to try this when I saw it on the menu and was not disappointed. Savory and flavorful to the max. Super delicious.. definitely a must-try for foodies!
North Park Gumbo Yaya
Out of this world Gumbo! A deep, rich, almost smokey, reaux carries all of the flavors through.
Peaches & Scallops
First visit to the Louisiana Purchase! Had a great pre birthday dinner and drinks! Sorry we missed Tony the bartender, will catch y next visit! Thanks for the fun and delicious meal!
Crawfish Monica Ribeye
I loved the surf and turf pairing of the crawfish with the ribeye and how the sauce was on top of the meat and dripped down. It is a very seasoned dish. However, I wish the dish came with at least one side because it was just the ribeye and the crawfish sauce on top.
75
A French 75 has always been my favorite cocktail, and the 75 they make here is very delicious and well balanced. I opted for gin because it is classic and really brings out the flavors of the drink. It is a very easy drink to consume, so if you are not a big drinker and want something that's not too fruity but not too strong, this is your best bet. Come in for happy hour and it is only $7!
Duck Fat Potato Hash
Just the name of this dish is enough to make your mouth water! It is SO delicious!! The potatoes come out perfectly crisp and just melts in your mouth. This is a MUST order side dish! You won't regret it!
Crispy Cauliflower
Cauliflower was AMAZING!!!! MY favorite of the evening
The Acme Plate
We visited a week ago before a concert and had such a great time we were late for the show! Among four of us we ordered an array of small plates to share and everything was outstanding - rich flavors and exciting combinations, even the cocktails were delicious and inspired. Our servers and bartender were delightful and let us know that we should join for the future events they have lined up, so in addition to the delicious menu we'll definitely be back many times to come. We can't wait for the crawfish boil coming up next month! Thank you for bringing something new and fabulous to San Diego!
The Dookey Chase
Chicken so good, make you want to slap yo mama, add the biscuit and honey glaze it maybe a back hand slap. Dooky Chase and family would be extremely proud! You can't name a dish after a New Orleans Legend and not execute. In the words of the Trap Father himself, T.I, very WELL PLAYED! #favebrunchdish #errythangisgood

This was amazing, I recommend this to anyone. This was my first time eating here and I'm still telling everyone about it. My waiter Josh hype me up for a dish that left me wanting it everyday
Crawfish Monica Ribeye
I came to this place when they first opened and still have yet to be disappointed by anything I've tasted and have even established a "regular" order. Chef Q can do no wrong in my eyes and the trust I have in his dishes is unwavering. I've tried things I would have never previously considered simply because he's made them. He is always trying new things, which, if you're lucky, he may bring out to let you try, and should absolutely accept if given the opportunity. Onto my regular order. The cocktail program as a whole is solid, but I tend to always start with a Voo Doo Carre. It's smoky and direct without being overpowering and the process of making it is a presentation in itself. By the time I've settled into my cocktail, my appetizer of Crab Fingers has arrived. The heat may vary slightly and can be pretty spicy, but is so, so worth it if you can tolerate it. (Pro-tip: let the bread soak up that extra sriracha lime butter sauce while enjoying the crab). Now for the main course. The Crawfish Monica. Seriously the best steak I've ever had. The ribeye could absolutely stand on its own, but that spicy crawfish cream sauce just pushes it over the edge. I still find myself splitting bites of steak just to be sure I waste none of it, and it's just as great to dip a side of broccolini in. This spot reliably does sauces right. Aside from the food, the atmosphere, staff, and special events Louisiana Purchase gives you the chance to be a part of is such a worthwhile experience. There is so much care put into everything they bring out and it consistently shows. If you are looking for a date night, spot for a special occasion dinner, or even just wanting to treat yourself after a hard day, this is hands down my go-to recommendation for you.
Pasta Jenny
I had the Pasta for dinner. The sauce is so deliciously creamy and tasteful. The crawfish was plenty and the dish overall tasted so comforting. I highly recommend it.
Alligator Andouille Cheesecake
My Airbnb was right next door so as I was checking in I noticed a very cool crowd and chill vibe. Dropped off my bags and headed downstairs to eat. The staff was amazing the hostess sat me immediately and my server took time to help me select a beer that would pair with my food choice. The Alligator Cheesecake was better than the one I had in New Orleans. Staying at the same Airbnb next month, in part so I can drink good beer, eat great food and walk next door to my place. Well done, LP.
Dragos
One of the better pasta dishes that I've had in SD and it's not even from an Italian spot! Great portions of lobster meat and a fantastic cream sauce on the pasta. Presentation was also incredible and it went well with the great cocktail list.
Crawfish Monica Ribeye
It was absolutely the best steak I've ever had and I'm not just saying that ! I had many amazing steak dinners but this was over the top delicious to the last bite ! the host pared My wine perfectly ! Thank you for a great experience. See you again soon !
Chicken Andouille Gumbo
This dish didnt miss any spice or seasoning as if you were in lousiana or new orleans the atmosphere of this establishment is so peaceful and serene.. A must try you will enjoy.
Ooey Gooey 'Better than Sex' Cake
After eating appetizers, entrees, and drinking old fashioneds, this cake was the best thing to balance all the savory and delicious food. This dessert is composed of a big scoop of cold vanilla ice cream on top of a warm yellow cake with some banana frosting on top of the cake and a pool of chocolate sauce around the cake. I loved the contrast of warmth and cold topped with the sauce. Even though we were really full from everything we ate, this was the perfect way to end the experience.
Crab Cake + Chicken Skin
This is a small dish that can be shared between two people. The crab was cooked well and the chicken skin was really good and crispy. It sits in a pool of marinara sauce and has a ball of truffle goat cheese. I thought the contrast between the soft tenderness of the crab and the crunchy fried chicken skin was interesting. Eaten along with the sauce and cheese made for a very different kinds of flavors.
Alligator Andouille Cheesecake
Definitely one of the best dishes on the menu. The cheesecake is savory and rich in flavor. It is perfect to share between two people. The creaminess of the crawfish cream and pieces of crawfish intertwined beautifully with the thickness of the cheesecake and really elevated the flavor profile of the dish. A must try dish. It really reminded me of New Orleans but with a twist.
