Been meaning to come here for a while and finally managed to today.
All in all it was a decent experience.
Had a bunch of stuff and their gumbo was their stand out item personally. The fish was ok but had a few pieces that were a bit too fishy.
Rest of it was fine but nothing spectacular, still at their pricing I’d visit again and try something else on their menu.

Had dinner here on a Friday night and there was a live band! Seating was easy to find, the staff was so friendly and the vibes were great. We tried the jambalaya and the fried shrimp. Both were pretty good! The food came out quickly. Overall a great experience and I’d definitely visit again.

Great food. The fish was so flavorful and crispy. Really good clam chowder in large bowl. Coleslaw delightful. Wonderful creole music. Outdoor seating. Good shade.

Poor House Bistro is a really fun, easy spot for lunch or dinner. The live music is a great bonus… they always have someone amazing playing. It’s absolutely our go-to spot before any Sharks game. We split a po-boy, an order of beignets and a pitcher of PBR pregame and we are good to go! We’ve come brought our kids and they enjoyed it too. Definitely a must try if you’re anywhere near SAP Center (It’s only like a 5 or 10 minute walk (safe) from the stadium). Highly recommend.

Oh my goodness!!! This place is my new favorite local gem! The atmosphere alone is a reason worth going! I came here on a whim because I wanted to get a carryout. While standing there I had some help with what to chose from the menu and got invited to join a lovely table of amazing people including Jay the owner. Amazing human beings here and I wish I lived locally to come here more! The music is a great experience and the food is soo good! Highly recommend the crawfish pasta and jambalaya. I got to learn the history of this restaurant which was so fascinating. Definitely stop by for a good time!

We came upon this restaurant by accident. It turned out to be such a treasure! There was live music playing and the audience was so friendly to each other. The wait staff was really nice and helpful. The food was ok but the atmosphere more than made up for it

The highlight of this spot is the energy and vibe with the live music between Wednesday to the weekend. It’s quite unlike any other place in that area.
As far as the food – we’ve ordered the shrimp po boy, chicken sandwich, creole pasta (vegetarian), tofu burger and beignets over the couple visits. Portions are always generous (order accordingly), the bread used for the sandwiches is divine. They have a few hot drinks as well like a boozy hot cocoa. Highly recommend a visit!

The SHRIMP AND GRITS!!!!
What a perfect dish!! Literally… Made to perfection!!
Creamy, cheesy deliciousness topped with fresh, plump, meaty shrimp.
It was so good that I did a little happy dance after I finished eating!!
This dish is hard to find in San Jose and I’m so glad that not only do they make it, but they do it fantastically!!!
