Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"One block uptown from . . . the famous music club Tipitina's sits a mid-nineteenth century barge board cottage with burgundy clapboards and yellow shutters. Dinner plates line the walls and bear the names of Dick and Jenny's founding customers. Originally a grocery store, and later a po-boy shop, this funky New Orleans original is a gathering place for those who seek fine dining cuisine in a casual, comfortable and affordable setting."
–Dick & Jenny's website
"Chef James Leeming . . . skillfully carries on the restaurant's tradition for homespun New Orleans cuisine."
