Munch Factory is always high on my list when I’m in Nola! The food is seasoned to the perfection of real Creole cooking! The gumbo! Mmm! The sweet and spicy shrimp or buffalo shrimp? Yes! Get both! And the signature fried ribs are always just right. The service and atmosphere are also on point. Make a reservation if you can.
Service and Atmosphere was really great! Great spacing btw tables/other guests. Food was very goos but a little heavy on the salt! Def would recommend and go back again! Loved when they were at Joe Bartholomew Golf Course!
This was my 1st visit, and the food was great. I was with a party of 9, and everyone was extremely happy with their entrée. There are lovely views of the golf course. The only reason they didn't get a 5 star rating for the atmosphere is that there were flies inside the restaurant that were hovering on the large windows. As soon as they bought our food to the table, they started flying near our food and one flew in my drink, so I had to get another, and cover it with a napkin in between sips. We also had to fan the flies away as we were eating. We made the best of it and still had a great time. I certainly hope they do what's needed to make the dining experience 100.
Excellent! The blackened fish had excellent flavor, was cooked perfectly, and served hot with a crunchy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside grit cake The baby back ribs were also excellent - hot with great flavor mix and meat to bite into. Filling portions. Great value. Best food we've had in new Orleans.
Second visit today, with another couple this time, for lunch instead of dinner. All food was amazing, so much flavor, and served HOT, as it should be! Bread pudding is the best ever and the roast beef sandwich is also excellent. We loved it all, again. The service is friendly, great manners. Drinks are refilled promptly without being obnoxious. Top notch in every aspect. Great view of golf course.

EDIT: Since I cant add another review without them making me delete the old one ill just add it here! Soooo we came for Mothers Day and once again the food was DELICIOUS! OMG... the plain fried wings were so spot on with the bacon & cheese fries. My family went CRAZZZY over these appetizers 🤣🤣🤣 we also had blackened fish of the day... Salmon over grits & esparagas. Fried catfish over grits. Fried ribs... the service once again was IMPECCABLE! AMBIANCE WAS ONE FOR THE BOOKS considering it was Mothers Day. Now I'm coming back simply for the wings & fries. Oh... I did have the bread pudding to go. I didn't like it because it was wayyyy too sweet! Others may disagree! But I'm still going back!!
