Just visited this little gem last weekend. We are so glad we stopped in to dine. The food was AMAZING with nice portion sizes and reasonable cost for the majority of the meals (under $20). I had the Catfish Pontchartrain and my husband had the Shrimp Po’boy. Let me tell you, that Po’boy was huge!! A full loaf size of bread with a ton of shrimp on it!! The Catfish was excellently cooked, the dirty rice was scrumptious, and the crawfish etouffe on top was the bomb. The food is typical New Orleans style, but not too spicy. They will give you extra heat if you want it.

The food was amazing. Large portions with plenty of flavor. Not to overly spicy for those spice wimps, but didn’t lack on flavor. Service was friendly and accommodating. Greens and rice and beans sides were on point. Hushpuppies were great. The dish I had, Catfish Pontchartrain was awesome and inexpensive. That dish anywhere else would have been 20 to 25 dollars, but only 16 dollars. You will not break the bank going there and have a fine meal. Me and my better half will definitely be returning.

The place was well recommended but didn’t deliver for my friend and I. It had a nice venue and staff but the prices are extremely high (seafood makes sense but everything was high). I would’ve been fine with the price if it was good but honestly I didn’t really find any flavor with my gumbo. The corn bread was super dry and tasteless. The chili was nothing special and the sausage in the po’boy was good but the rest of the sandwich was just okay. I did like the portions they gave, even for the seafood, it was a lot of food so it was plentiful but honestly did not like it as much as I wanted to. I will probably give it one more shot sometime later.

Tried this place for the first time today and it was so good. Catfish was big and cooked perfect. The gumbo was great and the sweet tea was amazing. I invited my friend and she enjoyed the experience also.

Went here for a celebration. I was looking for some Soul, Southern or something close. My wife found Bistro Orleans. There was some initial confusion because the website lists a 13 Mile in Warren address. Other sources say 15 Mile in Sterling Heights. Here is the straight truth. They are no longer in the Warren location They have one location on 15 Mile near Dodge Park Rd. in Sterling Heights. The phone number on the website IS correct. The online menu is partially correct. The prices have gone up a little as reflected in the menu changes inside the restaurant. Also, they had a paper menu with some additional selections. Partway through our time there, a gentleman showed with some audio equipment. Turns out he was there to entertain. His electronic keyboard work is pretty good, but when he sat down at the older piano they have there, he really started to change the atmosphere. He was really enjoyable. I forgot to ask if that was a regular occurrence, weekends only or just a fluke. I would highly suggest finding out, and timing your visit to include that experience.The decor is an homage to older jazz and Bourbon St. memorabilia. The waiter was super friendly and just the right amount of attentive. I thought my food was excellent and the amount was overwhelming. The price was great for the amount of food. Three enormous pieces of catfish. Sides in a bowl that all tasted great (cole slaw great, mac and cheese super cheesy and buttery, very tasty hush puppies and corn bread just like my southern dad used to make including the yellow corn meal, crispy edges from a cast iron pan, and no sugar anywhere.) Now, unfortunately for the negatives. The place has a lot of fly activity. A lot of those flies are dead or dying right there on the window sill. That was a bit ugly and dirty feeling. Why were they sick and dying? My wife had two items. A shrimp dish which had a spice or spices that she didn’t care for. I tried it and thought it was just okay not super, but that might just be us. However she also had a bowl of gumbo which neither she nor I would eat. Being a pretty capable home cooks we could both tell that it was scorched. The bottom of whatever pot it was cooking in clearly had black, burned items from the gumbo that permeated in to every part of the gumbo. Every vegetable, every protein and the entire broth. I have had this happen to me and it is an unmistakable odor/flavor. It’s not creole or cajun…just bottom scorched to black. At that point the only option was to start over and ditch that pot, or serve it anyway. They chose to serve it, and that was a big mistake. It’s not blackening or a regional thing, just a mistake. We didn’t really dig the deserts either, but again that might just be us. We are going to give it one more try to see if it was a bad day. Oh and currently they are cash, Cash App or Venmo only.

What a hidden gem! We were on our way to another restaurant and decided to take a risk and try something new. So glad we did! The portions are huge! And very savory! Spices weren’t over powering, but they tickled the palate. The server was friendly and knowledgeable.

I’ve traveled to New Orleans and the food here was just as good. The prices are very reasonable and the portion sizes are unbelievable. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. We definitely be back again.

Mac and cheese was trash. Corn bread was burnt, black and dry. Catfish was good when it was cooked all the way thru. Poboy sandwich was the best I ever had. Bread was soft, shrimp was crisp but not to much breading, sauce was good and the bread did not get soggy… I wont go back until they fixed all of these issues. even if that shrimp poboy was amazing…
