Brett rang us up and was super nice. The food was amazing. Don’t have anything like this in Reno. Chicken was so moist and delicious and the jambalaya was so good! Definitely recommend

We LOVE coming here. My favorite is the Cajun Crab Fries . The owners take a lot of pride in their food and are usually there every time we come, super polite. There's parking both in front and behind the building, so that's a bonus.

So excited for this place. The style of fast food and yet like you are at grandmas house serving sizes. Jambalaya was flavorful with tender chicken and to die for sausage. Cajun fries are delicious. Try the gumbo and the brown sugar lemonade. Thanks staff 3

Very busy on a Sunday at lunchtime, but kitchen seemed to be keeping up and people were patient in line. We have been wanting to try this place for a while and had to wait to go on a Sunday to get beignets! Worth the wait. We had our puppy with us so we are outside and thankfully it was easy to find a place. Most people seemed to be getting food to go. We will definitely be heading back. We bought: brussel sprouts, hush puppies, red beans and rice, jambalaya, crab Cajun fries, and beignets!!

Let me tell you, this restaurant had me feeling like I just stepped into New Orleans! Pure perfection from start to finish! The food? The world Incredible doesn’t even begin to cover it. We're talking authentic Creole cuisine, the kind that had me reminiscing about being in my late grandmother's kitchen, hitting that sweet spot in my soul. Every bite was an experience. I mean, those hush puppies? Fire. The seafood platter? Let's just say, it's my new obsession. And the bread pudding? Absolute bliss. You could taste the love and culture in every dish, knowing these were family recipes passed down like priceless heirlooms. It’s so rare to find that level of authenticity in every bite. Oh, and the vibes? Immaculate. From the music to the warm, inviting atmosphere, this place knows how to set the scene. Perfect spot for family, friends, couples, or a solo treat because when the food is this good, sometimes you just need that “me” time. Trust me, I'll be back! — Quania Jones

Passed by the place by accident and was glad we ordered some for pickup. Mac and cheese was delicious, pasta still had a bite to them, not just mush. Cornmeal breading on catfish was tasty and catfish po'boy order was packed without tomatoes, as requested. Crab fries was tasty too, full of shredded real crabmeat with cajun fries at the bottom. Shrimps were fully peeled for the 50/50 order. Not a fan of the hush puppies, the crispyness was yumm but the inside just tastes like cornmeal. Would love to try their beignets if we're in the area on a Sunday. Edit: A year later, still our go-to spot when we're in the area. Tried their blackened shrimp and grits, was not disappointed, absolutely yummy. Husband enjoyed his fried chicken sandwich, it's a generous 2 pieces of chicken in the sandwich.

The best food around representing New Orleans Southern food. We used them for a house warming party, and one of the owners/brothers came with the catering truck. Guest still rave about their food. The number one dishes our family and friends complimented on is the catfish and brussel sprouts. Highly highly recommend

Was a bit hesitant based on the lack of reviews here, but boy should I have got to Southern Comfort sooner! Got the Crab Cajun Fries to-go and they were absolutely unreal. Animal Style Fries? Never heard of her. The Mac and Cheese was a great deal and a strong side dish option. Don’t wait any longer, get to this place now! I’ll be back soon to grab a Hurricane on tap!!
