We finally tried this place over the weekend and were very pleased. We ordered the catfish, braised oxtail Mac and cheese, gumbo, a side of candied yams, and beignets. To say all were delicious was an understatement. Now the prices are a bit high but from what we saw, the portions are large. I actually think I could have shared my dish and still have been full. I'd go back for the oxtail mac and cheese alone - absolutely delicious!

Always a great time when we come here. Came around 1:30 on a sunday wasnt much of a wait but definitely looked to be busy. We ordered the brunch chicken & waffles & the lemon pepper catfish w/ dirty rice & greens. Everything was cooked to perfection and Lukas who was our server was very attentive but not overbearing. 10/10 for our food, service & wait time today. Will OF COURSE be back

The food speaks for itself. Worth every penny. The staff were very attentive. The mixed drinks were very delicious. The perfect anniversary/date night restaurant

Absolute wonderful atmosphere, beautifully decorated. The service was greatly appreciated and on point. Our first time here, every dish was fantastic, there were 6 of us. The gumbo was delicious, a tad salty. The shrimp and grits with bacon was phenomenal. The blackened catfish was very tasty. The mac and cheese with chicken with cornbread was delectable! Beignets were outstanding!

The customer service was five star.. the best thing on the menu I had was the red beans and rice. It was packed with flavor. I also like the ketchup which is housemaid. I was disappointed in the fries since they was fried hard, but the chicken was nice and juicy flavorful the mac & cheese was also good with the Gouda. The oxtail dirty rice was OK but the oxtail was nice and tender . The drinks were amazing. what's the bartender hydrate her own fruit which was an extra show in itself this is a must try when you come to San Diego.oh, and the music was on point also

First timer and the food was very seasoned and tasty. Service was good but must be too busy for water/coffee refills. Celebrated a birthday and our server managed the surprise cake smoothly except the dessert plates came out before the cake. I told the birthday girl I ordered beignets for everyone. #GarlicCheddarBiscuit #LemonPepperCatfish #DirtyRiceWithOxtail #CollardGreens all tasty and very seasoned with a kick but to my liking Parking is an issue. I circled about three times around the block until a car parked near the restaurant pulled out. That happened to a few of us. I will definitely be back but will try and figure best time to find ample parking.

Amazing food and drinks, friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend to anyone that likes southern cooking and a great vibe/atmosphere

- [ ] I did my research about great eats in San Diego and one places that was highly recommended was Louisiana purchase. The reviews all said that the food was tasty and it was a must visit. Amongst other things it is a black owned restaurant with a Louisiana influence. Checking out the menu and other reviews, I immediately set my eyes on the smoked Gouda mac & cheese with oxtail. They also have a wide variety of options that make your mouth water. - [ ] After arriving early in San Diego and being in the brunch hour, we decided to go to Louisiana purchase. We went around 11 o'clock and it wasn't too busy, but there was already several patrons at the restaurant. The hostess was nice and welcoming. The restaurant has both inside and outside seating with heaters on the patio. It was nice. - [ ] Our waiter was was somewhat attentive. He gave great recommendations based on food choices, and drink choices. My brunch buddy ended up picking what I wanted to eat a.k.a. the smoked Gouda with oxtails so I picked the lemon pepper catfish with brussels sprouts and Cajun fries. To start off we picked the biscuits with butter and jam. Those weren't your ordinary biscuits they had flavor without any butter or jam. They were flaky and crisp at the same time. The jam only made it even a better experience. We got our food fairly quickly after the biscuits my brunch buddy is not a big eater, but he ate pretty much the whole Platter of food. I even tasted the oxtails and it was very good along with the mac & cheese. My lemon pepper catfish was fried but not greasy. It was so tasty and so were brussels sprouts. The Cajun fries were really good too as well. - [ ] Unfortunately, I can't quite remember the name of all my drinks, but they were really good as well. My brunch buddy rum punch he shared was a little too sweet. My French margarita was really good and another drink had a mezcal base. Overall, I would definitely recommend a visit to Louisiana purchase. I actually wanted to go back, but I knew there are a lot of really good restaurants in San Diego still to check out. Whenever I return to San Diego, definitely hitting up Louisiana purchase. The vibes, the weather was perfect, and so was the music. - [ ] LP is about 10 minutes from downtown San Diego. I will also note that parking was pretty easy to find near the restaurant.
