C&l - Cozumel

This restaurant was such a good vibe. The couple that owned it was so welcoming and nice, I loved the service. I went with another couple and we loved it. The food was delicious and fresh with big portions. You should definitely try the gumbo, Steak and jazzy wings!!

The day after Jazz Fest ended we took a streetcar ride uptown on Carrollton. At lunchtime, C&L Restaurant popped up on Google Maps with good reviews. We got off at Hickory Street and walked about five short blocks. The working-class neighborhood, shabby in spots, is certainly not a usual tourist destination but we felt completely safe. C&L was worth the walk. We were welcomed like family by the husband-and-wife owners and the experience was like having lunch in someone's home. My wife had the Taste of New Orleans platter and I had the fried chicken wings, both with brewed iced tea. The menu was fairly extensive, the food was delicious, service was delightful, and the prices a bargain compared to downtown restaurants. We recommend it for a real New Orleans experience, genuine home cooking and really nice people.

We went there for lunch on Thursday, but they were closed. Please update hours and we may try again next time we are in NOLA.

The only reason I give it a 1 star is because they never answer the phone they say their open but when I go around there they close is y’all open or back close due to COVID I really want to try you guys food I’m a huge food lover

Amazing food and amazing people! Mr. Lewis and his wife are a gem. Off the beaten path but so worth it!
