I went there for dinner to celebrate my 30th birthday with 4 other people. I figured the food had to be great. Once we were seated, it took about 10-15 minutes to even be approached by a waiter. By this time, we were all pretty thirsty. Finally he came over and took our food and drink order and did not... more

We had dinner at the Praline Connection our 2nd night in New Orleans. I'd read about the restaurant online, it sounded good, then when I discovered that our hotel was in walking distance & our hotel front desk recommended it, well, the decision easy. What was NOT an easy decision was what to eat. We ended up sharing an okra... more

My family and I read so many rave reviews about this place so we chose to eat here on the 1st night of our visit to N.O. What a disappointment!!! To start off the service was TERRIBLE!!! We had to sit at 2 different tables and both our waiter and my parents waitress were equally RUDE!!! They acted as though... more

I recently came back from Jazzfest for the second time and had dinner at my favorite southern cooking restaurant, Praline Connection. The food is very southern, meaning a lot of it is fried , which makes it great!! we had the appetizer sampler for dinner and it was more food than we could handle. Lots of okra and fried pickles... more

Great poboys! Wasn't too crazy about the bread pudding though. The sauce had too much alcohol in it. Figured I would get stopped for a DUI after that dessert! Very nice wait staff and I enjoyed the guys' hats and ties. more

Feb 19, 2008 Having just arrived in New Orleans to celebrate my birthday I was ready to try a good down home restaurant where the locals go. It was our good fortune that the desk clerk in our hotel recommended The Praline Connection! My husband and I both immediately spotted the "Taste of Soul Platter" on the menu...heaven on a... more

Praline Connection at 542 Frenchman st, is just east of the French Quarter by 1 blk. They serve Southern Style Cooking which both my wife and I found to be just OUTSTANDING!!!! You can spend a lot of money eating great food in the Quarter, but at the Praline Connection, the highest priced dish is the Sampler Platter and it... more
