This place was a very nice little walk from our hotel. The places was lively and clean, staff was very friendly, prices were reasonable. Our waitress was very attentive and took excellent care of us. I got the ratatouille (I had never seen it on a menu before so I Had to get it) which was very delightful. My kiddo got the banana and Nutella crepes. She wiped em out.
I’m a huge sweet tea fan, so good sweet tea is very important to me. I was able to try it before I committed to ordering it. It was a very good sweet tea. We will be in town for a good little while. I look forward to going back.

This place has a sister restaurant up the road called Hen House. I was recommended here to Toast Gretna by the owners and workers from Hen House because they shut down restaurant operations to fully support their King Cake Operation.
Awesome little homey restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect brunch spot for the morning and early afternoon. I ordered black coffee and the ratatouille omelette with a side of bacon. It was delicious. Next time i am gonna try the steak and eggs on their entrees menu. Everything was reasonably priced. Dining room was well lit and clean. Unisex bathroom with changing table for the little ones was also clean! Cant wait to come back!

I’ve spent the last nearly 2 weeks eating all the wish list places I’ve heard about from family since I was a child (I’m staring right at 60 so, a long time).
This is The Best Meal I Have Had In The Area.
I was looking at the French Quarter because I’ll be down there today looking up family records and this place snuck into my listings. I’m old and disabled so parking, check. Not a massive wait, check. Unique menu with things you don’t see on literally every menu around town? Check check check.
I got the catfish and eggs with grits. No cheese because in my family it was butter and pepper if you didn’t want a look so withering you tried to sink into the floor. The tarragon sauce was perfect and light and the eggs were beautifully cooked and the grits needed no butter. Buttery and creamy already. And they have Crystal hot sauce which is my favorite for obvious reasons. That catfish was faaattt. Thick and flaky and juicy. Whomever is back there cooking it got it perfect, the most deliciously crispy exterior and just right interior.
Just a side note for ths SoCal folks, if you’re old like me and grew up going to Solvang and you’re sad the Aebelskevers don’t taste the same, come here. No raspberry jam but get the lemon curd. Hits the same notes and theirs is great. They’re baking soda not yeast I’m 99% sure but so are several of the old school ones in Solvang and theirs are flat or half burned or very, very mid. Eat these hot when you get them and you’ll get that delicate crisp on the outside and steaming clouds of heaven on the inside.
The best I can describe this place is it’s like your chef cousin and Grandpa started a restaurant together. And the cousins all work there and have been on their hustle since they could do chores and earn their own money, and they all get along and work well together.
And the decor is cute as heck. The tables and chairs are comfortable. There is tons of street parking (also lot parking). The music is loud enough to make your heart sing and your toes tap but you can still hear and talk. And the Playlist is F I R E
I’m sad.
I should have come here sooner.
Even if I were staying across the river, this place is worth the drive/Uber over.

Everything was fabulous. Service, food and atmosphere. We had ableskivers, a side of grits and the Benedict. They were all delicious. Don’t skip over this place, you won’t regret it.

I’ve been to Toast twice now—once for brunch with my boyfriend on a Friday and again with a friend the following Monday—and both experiences were great! I had the Fried Crawfish Toast both times (it’s that good!) and loved the flavorful sauce that comes with it. On my second visit, I also tried the banana Nutella crepe, which was delicious and the perfect sweet treat to end brunch.
The outdoor seating area is definitely my favorite spot to sit and relax. It has a fun, casual vibe, and there’s even a playground if you’re bringing kids along. Tasty food, a comfortable atmosphere, and great for both a date or catching up with friends.

This was the first restaurant where we ate during our trip to New Orleans. It was absolutely charming. The dining area was decorated tastefully for Halloween. Our meal was delicious. We had the poached egg with crawfish along with three baguettes with lemon and Nutella.
I am so happy that we found this hidden gem. Thanks for your hospitality!

Dined here with party of 8 for bday brunch. We had 2 separate entrees with hair on it. Server was kind but I felt dismissed when we brought it up. If you know the oyster toast entree, it is usually layered, we didn’t see the hair till we ate down to the plate. Then, we ordered classic breakfast and sausage; there was a thick hair with attached follicle. See picture. We paid for the bill in entirety with automatic 20% service fee. Needless to say, I will not return or recommend my family or friends here. I understand accidents happen but 2 different entrees with hair in… it’s a matter of hygiene.

My daughter came for a visit from Hawaii , and she took us out to Toast . The waiter prompt & courteous attending to all our needs. Thee menu is extensive. The food was seasoned to my taste, not too salty or spicy .it was very satisifing .

For a weary family with kids (or just a tourist) that is visiting New Orleans, Toast Gretna is a welcome change to chain restaurants and tourist traps.
I found Toast Gretna while searching for a “mom and pop”, family owned “breakfast restaurant” that was not part of a national chain.
Located on the south side of the Mississippi River, and only 10-15 minutes from the French Quarter, Toast Gretna has an unassuming facade which might cause one to pass this gem of a restaurant by. However, once inside you are greeted by a friendly hostess, a colorful mural, and welcoming atmosphere.
My buddy and I had been enjoying the sights and sounds of the French Quarter for two days, (including dining the night before at one of New Orleans’ most famous family owned restaurants) and were looking for something different, so when the hostess told us the wait would be about 45 minutes, and that we could wait on the patio if we wished, we decided to wait.
The patio turned out to be a covered seating area, a full-service bar (which was doing a lively business at 11:00 AM with a variety of brunch cocktails) and a large play area for kids. The patio was busy with activity from kids playing chess to kids on the playground, to adults enjoying the morning and pleasant conversation.
My buddy and I looked at the menu while waiting so when we were finally seated, we would be ready to order. He ordered an omelette with gruyere and fine herbs with spicy sausage, and I ordered an omelette with crawfish, creamed spinach, and gruyere with ratatouille for my side.
Our food was served quickly and with little delay, which was unexpected based on the number of people in the dining areas. Our server was attentive and took very good care of us. Our breakfast was excellent. It looked so good I almost forgot to take photos.
My buddy and I agreed that our breakfast was the single best meal we had enjoyed during our visit to New Orleans. I made a point to go back to the kitchen area to commend the staff on a well-prepared meal before leaving.
While not food related, this next part is important to ladies and mothers with children. The restrooms were very clean! The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The playground was well maintained.
