Everything here was delicious. For appetizers we had fried green tomatoes, garlic grits and nachos. Grits and tomatoes were stand out amazing dishes! I got the chicken Orleans which was good! Everything was very flavorful and not too salty. I am a sauce guy and all of the sauces on the appetizers were delicious.

Neat place with authentic NOLA decor. Fried grit cakes were good for a starter. Seafood risotto also very good entree. Catfish ponchartrain was so-so as sauce was a bit salty. Service was very good and helpful. No draft beer, but a modest selection of bottled available.

We decided to try the Lagniappe restaurant after hearing many good things about it. We tried it on the weekend so parking was free, and it was a short walk to the restaurant. The entrance we came in was on Washington and we walked down the stairs to the basement of the building, which is where Lagniappe is located. The atmosphere was amazing, with brick and wood walls creating a beautiful atmosphere. We were seated promptly since we came before the rush, and our server was very attentive and helpful. We had the mussels for an appetizer and two of us were smitten with it. The others liked the taste but weren't keen on the texture of the mussels (nothing with the food, just not a texture that was for them.) For entrees we tried the Shrimp Po Boy, the Jambalaya, the shrimp boil, and the Gumbo Ya Ya. All of this was superb! The portions on the Po Boy and the shrimp boil were perfect (we chose the one pound option.) The Gumbo Ya Ya felt a bit light; would probably not order this as a standalone meal in the future. The Jambalaya was a massive amount of food! All of us tried it, one of our members had it in addition to his gumbo, and there were still leftovers for a full meal the next day. At the end of the meal each person declared this their new favorite restaurant in Marquette. Looking forward to visiting again!

Lagniappe. If you use Google maps it brings you to the Washington St entrance not Jackson Cut Alley address entrance (next block behind ). Single door with green canopy. Then downstairs. Dark wood. Was a bowling alley back in the day. Just dark, waitress provided a small lamp to read menu:) Awesome cajun atmosphere. Loved our waitress. I had catfish ponchartrain, hubby had cajun crawfish cavatappi pasta. Nose running spicy good. Finished with peaches&cream bread pudding w/ice cream.

We rolled in for a late, late lunch or early dinner, depending how you call it. There was immediate seating and plenty of it, at that time of day. Our server was prompt, friendly, and helpful, guiding us to delicious appetizers and main dishes, both. We thoroughly enjoyed the fried grits, shrimp and grits, and jambalaya.

We happened across this gem on vacation in the Michigan U.P. Buckwheat Zydeco was playing on the speaker by the door and we knew we had to try it out. When we got downstairs we were revisiting our vacation to New Orleans a couple years ago. The decor, music, & food was like we never left NOLA. The Seafood Risotto was creamy and you could taste the seafood, Red Beans & Rice with Sausage had great spices & flavors. The Beignets reminded me of our time at Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter. We waited a short 30 minutes for a table, & our server was great. If you are looking for an authentic NOLA experience, but can’t get to New Orleans, Lagniappe Cajun Creole Eatery will not disappoint.

I recently visited the Lagniappe Cajun Creole Eatery at 145 Jackson Cut Alley, in Marquette, MI. This is an interesting restaurant where you walk down a flight of stairs to enter. The restaurant has that Cajun, Bourbon Street feel. Kind of dark, and Cajun themed decor. I sat at the bar and was quickly created and offered information on the beer and food selections. I enjoyed my time there and my crawfish nachos were very tasty.

My first trip to Marquette and was told to eat here. Food was awesome, our server was attentive and it had such a great family type feel. I was in a group of 6 and we tried each other’s dishes. Funny how each person said theirs was the best but I find other dishes for next time. CAUTION! Leave room for dessert. Again sampling each other’s orders. Not a bad one in the group but left way too full.
