n July 2004 Will Pieratt and Kevin Heathcoat took a huge leap of faith and opened Bourbon n’ Toulouse by maxing out seven credit cards and simply hoping things worked out for the best. The business plan was simple: cook some damn good food, give back to the community that help keep their lights on and have as much fun as the law allows! Fifteen years later these guys are still extremely passionate about what they do and they haven’t grown up a bit, just ask their wives! Always cooking and laughing, these guys are serious about having fun. Stop in and sample the wide array of tasty Cajun and Creole dishes, grab a beer from the ever changing selection and drift away to their own little version of The French Quarter.

Absolutely delicious food and joyful atmosphere. My husband and I stopped in from Texas. This is by far the BEST Cajun food we’ve had.
Portion sizes are MASSIVE. Variety of options and flavors for everyone. The lemon pepper étouffée and gumbo were delicious!!! Would come back next time.

Casual Cajun Spot: Order at the counter, self-seat in a cozy space. Staff is welcoming and offers samples for newcomers. Menu features traditional Cajun dishes, plus vegetarian and gluten-free options. Try the “pick two” combo if you can’t choose. Big portions, fair prices.

Exceptional flavors, really low prices. Loved having vegan options that were intentional snd very high quality. Looks a mess, but i eat with my mouth, not my eyes.
Vegan black beans: 11/10
Thai peanut: 8/10
Possibly the best vegan bean dish i’ve ever had. Definitely had me asking “are we sure?”

Staying at a hotel nearby and wanted something a little different. Read good Google reviews, so I decided to walk over. I went after the lunch rush around 130pm. It was not that busy. I got 1/2 Chicken Etouffee and 1/2 Jambalaya. It comes with bread. Very, very good. I can’t compare it to anything because I haven’t had Cajun/Creole food since I was in Shreveport about 10 years ago. I would definitely recommend it and it is super affordable. The dining area is nice. It was clean. Staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Half-Portions are More Like Quarter Portions, Under Seasoned and Food Temperature Luke Warm. Atmosphere at the Restaurant a Lil Depressing. $24 Plus Tip, Completely Disappointed!

We stopped at Bourbon n’ Toulouse and absolutely loved it! I had the jambalaya, and my partner tried the 1/2 & 1/2 with sausage and red beans & rice and crawfish étouffée. Every dish is served over rice, except the jambalaya where the rice is cooked right in, which made it extra hearty and flavorful.
The process is simple—you walk up to the counter to order, then they call your name when your food is ready. The service was quick and friendly, and we really appreciated the variety on the menu. They offer several gluten-free, dairy-free, and even vegan options, which makes it a great spot for all kinds of diets.
The amount of food for the price was incredible—my full entrée was only $9 and the 1/2 & 1/2 was just $11. So affordable for such an incredibly flavorful and filling meal. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the portions were generous.
This is the kind of comfort food that makes you want to come back. We’ll definitely be stopping again the next time we’re passing through!

I ordered takeout here a couple days ago.
Food may not ‘look’ the most appetizing, but it smells and tastes amazing.
The atmosphere is pretty cheap and simple, but it gives a more authentic mom and pop shop type feel.
Service was great and they made sure to accommodate my gluten allergy and celiac disease. More on that, there are lots of allergy and diet friendly foods.

Wow..it’s like a N’awlins nightmare with décor brought to you by Mardi Gras Krewes. I say that in fun, but the food is no joke. I had the hot dogs with chili ( a strange choice, I know). Yet, the taste of the chili had just enough bite to make my take buds hum. The Man got jambalaya and was so good. They do a lot of rice because you can see the cookers from the checkout area.
There isn’t a lot of blaring zydeco music which I like and the tables were semi clean which I don’t. It was early so not many people there but I could see that to go orders were coming in. All in all, I would say that it is a nice local place that has really good Cajun food.
Give it a try!

Not knocking off stars because I love this place!! But the gumbo could use more quality control. Often leave with a bed of rice and one single shrimp, little hunk of meat. Makes me sad. Rice today was undercooked. Not sure what happened, maybe an off day. But the owner is great and you should support them. They are very kind employees, too.

Update 7.23.2025: I still only have great things to say about this restaurant. I appreciate that their “new” (moved locations) location is more up to date. The depth of flavor is crazy. Even when we eat inside I get the meal in a to go container because there is no way I could finish it. Of course, as good as it is at the restaurant, the leftovers are even better because the flavors just intensify. The Gumbo with Chicken, Sausage, & Shrimp and the Southwest Etouffee with Crawfish have the perfect amount of spice.
Previous Post: Bourbon N Toulouse is great. The food is unlike anything else in Lexington and it is super flavorful and delicious. I have liked everything I have tried and love the bread. The service is always friendly and even if there is a line you know you won’t have to wait long for your food. For the price the serving size is great.
