My daughter came for a visit from Hawaii , and she took us out to Toast . The waiter prompt & courteous attending to all our needs. Thee menu is extensive. The food was seasoned to my taste, not too salty or spicy .it was very satisifing . two people could eat out of one plate .the overall dining experience was good. I would like to go back there again & and would highly recommend it to others .

For a weary family with kids (or just a tourist) that is visiting New Orleans, Toast Gretna is a welcome change to chain restaurants and tourist traps. I found Toast Gretna while searching for a "mom and pop", family owned "breakfast restaurant" that was not part of a national chain. Located on the south side of the Mississippi River, and only 10-15 minutes from the French Quarter, Toast Gretna has an unassuming facade which might cause one to pass this gem of a restaurant by. However, once inside you are greeted by a friendly hostess, a colorful mural, and welcoming atmosphere. My buddy and I had been enjoying the sights and sounds of the French Quarter for two days, (including dining the night before at one of New Orleans' most famous family owned restaurants) and were looking for something different, so when the hostess told us the wait would be about 45 minutes, and that we could wait on the patio if we wished, we decided to wait. The patio turned out to be a covered seating area, a full-service bar (which was doing a lively business at 11:00 AM with a variety of brunch cocktails) and a large play area for kids. The patio was busy with activity from kids playing chess to kids on the playground, to adults enjoying the morning and pleasant conversation. My buddy and I looked at the menu while waiting so when we were finally seated, we would be ready to order. He ordered an omelette with gruyere and fine herbs with spicy sausage, and I ordered an omelette with crawfish, creamed spinach, and gruyere with ratatouille for my side. Our food was served quickly and with little delay, which was unexpected based on the number of people in the dining areas. Our server was attentive and took very good care of us. Our breakfast was excellent. It looked so good I almost forgot to take photos. My buddy and I agreed that our breakfast was the single best meal we had enjoyed during our visit to New Orleans. I made a point to go back to the kitchen area to commend the staff on a well-prepared meal before leaving. While not food related, this next part is important to ladies and mothers with children. The restrooms were very clean! The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The playground was well maintained.

Absolutely delicious food I can verify the rating and you can believe your hunger will be fulfilled Great breakfast/brunch options. The onions cheese mushroom crepes with ratatouille was excellent. Must try the all beef spicy sausage!!

The grits were amazing!! Had the special and it was perfect! Friendly homestyle service!

Love Toast. Usually a small wait on the weekends but the outside area for kids is perfect for brunch. They also have a digital reservation page now as well which has increased our desires and abilities to go. The outside seating area is covered and has plenty of fans for air movement. Doesn't so much for the heat but its South Louisiana. Food is good and well proportioned.
