First time having creole food and it was hearty and filling. The cornbread is warmed and served with honey- best eaten while it’s still warm and was my favorite part of the meal!

So good! Get the tequila caliente, it’s SO flavorful and not too spicy. The chicken etouffee is amazing too. Fast and terrific comfort food. Definitely check it out.

The food is not good. Flavorless. Zero spice. It’s not creole food at all and is really disappointing if you’re from the Southeast. The bread was the best thing. Got the gumbo and shrimp etouffee. The staff was friendly and the decor inside and outdoor seating is nice.

The food here is so good, and it is really a unique place, I just can’t understand why it’s not packed all the time. The staff is great with their suggestions, and half the time I just let them choose for me. While the meat dishes look great, I tend to order from the vegan side of the menu. I’ve been going here for years and I have never been disappointed. If you have never eaten at Easy Creole, stop whatever it is you’re doing and go there right now!

Really nice staff. I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t like, from both the meat & the veggie menu. Big guy in the back is the owner/head chef if I remember correctly. Talked with him for a bit during a slow-ish day at the register. Easy-going guy, passionate about his work. Haven’t been here in a while, but this is definitely a go-to when I’m in the area.

An amazing find!!!! The food was DELICIOUS and we loved the service and atmosphere. My fiance and I tried four things by doing two half and half plates – all dishes were AMAZING. This is a great place to take friends who are visiting Cali. And I’m so inspired by the Creole taste. It was a magical experience! Thanks Easy Creole! Also appreciate the number of vegan options!!! So good!

Fairly decent place! So why not 5 stars across the board? Well, because the minuscule amount of hot link pieces in the red beans and rice was disappointing, to put it mildly. I can understand wanting or needing to shave down costs… Maybe they don’t standardize the amount of hot links in that dish and my dining partner and I both just got unlucky? She mentioned the same thing.
