    My husband and son were outside for hours doing yard work, and I wanted to spoil them with an A+ lunch. We love dining in at Tibby’s, but I decided to get it to go today since they were in no mood to go out. The service when I picked it up was phenomenal; the hostess walked me to the door and opened it for me. And the food was so delicious, even my son, who has a discriminating palate, was raving about it. He loves dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, so that tells you how good the food at Tibby’s is.

    Amazing Creole Cuisine. Must try would be Jambalaya, Gumbo and Rita’s chicken. The dessert Beignet was the cherry on top. Amazing service. Do check out when you visit Orlando

    Amazing food and customer service

    The Catfish was great & I 100% recommend it with their Tibbys brand hot sauce! Our server Andrew was on point and kept our drinks full & made great suggestions for our first trip to the restaurant. Germaine made some fresh beignets that were the best that I've ever had!

  • June 26, 2026

    Our server Andrew was very attentive and kind, Germaine "G" also got us the hookup with some fresh beignets. Highly recommend

    Better than average food at decent prices. I keep coming back for the shrimp and grits. Rest of the menu is decent. I come here every few months.

    We reserved the Napoleon Room for a birthday celebration, and it was such a perfect evening! We had 25 guests, and everything came together so well. James, Andrew, Jamie, Ryan at the bar, and the rest of the team were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the night even more special. Everyone loved the cozy atmosphere and having a private room to celebrate together. I can't wait to come back! It's such a great spot for a birthday dinner, an engagement celebration, or even a work event. The food and drinks were just as amazing! I highly recommend the espresso martini and the Hemingway. My favorite bites of the night were the Debris Spring Rolls, Rita's Chicken (my go-to for the past 10 years!), and the bread pudding for dessert. And don't skip the onion rings, they're so good and absolutely huge!

    I wanted to try this restaurant for sometime so I Ordered my food to go and hour ahead. I showed up to pick it up and the gentleman at the hostess stand said that it was picked up already I asked by who because I didn’t pick it up. We went back and forth a bit then a lady came over and the two of them started to argue he said he gave it to her to give to DoorDash she said that wasn’t it. Eventually they remade my food to go while I sat in my car but the meat was not cooked all the way on one of the pork chops. The presentation looked good but no apologies or anything the staff seemed to feel like they were annoyed but they only had four tables of customers. Not a good first impression.

    Southern Dripping Chicken is an all time favorite. Great food and service at this location. The Beignets are a must!

    Giselle was AMAZING, extremely attentive, polite, and professional.

  • June 20, 2026

    Giselle was outstanding. She was extremely helpful and such a blessing to our dinner experience. She kept our drinks full, overly enthusiastic, and made our night better. Thank you! God bless.

  • June 20, 2026

    We came with friends and we loved the place and food. Giselle was our server and she was outstanding. Definitely, we will go back to visit again.

    We haven’t had authentic New Orleans food since we lived in New Orleans. The food is excellent! The atmosphere is great. Everywhere you look there is something to catch your eye. The service was excellent too. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend checking this restaurant out!

  • June 19, 2026

    The bright, fun themed atmosphere was awesome. The food was really good. And our server Elise was so sweet and nice. I definitely want to go back.

  • June 15, 2026

    Server was attentive, manager out front cleaning and interactin, food was fresh overall great experience

  • June 13, 2026

    My experience at Tibby’s was outstanding from start to finish. Our server, Shaina, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time. The service was prompt without feeling rushed, and she had great recommendations. I ordered the Rita’s Chicken, and it was phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall dining experience. If you’re looking for great Cajun food and exceptional service, I highly recommend Tibby’s. I’ll definitely be back, and I hope to have Shaina as my server again!

    Great private dining room for large events. Food came out quickly and together

  • June 13, 2026

    Tibby’s was great at hosting my dad’s 70th/Retirement party! Thanks so much to Shayna and Jane for being such wonderful servers.

  • June 13, 2026

    Loved the food and service! Make sure to ask for Stephanie!!!

    From the second you step inside, the vibrant, colorful decor and incredible collection of authentic New Orleans art make you feel like you’ve been instantly transported to the French Quarter. The food here is completely next-level and served in incredibly generous portions. If you go to Tibby’s New Orleans Kitchen, you absolutely have to order Rita’s Chicken! It is hands-down one of the best comfort food dishes I’ve ever eaten.The chicken breast was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender, but the real magic is how it’s served. It comes generously drenched in an addictive house lemon butter sauce and is piled high over a massive bed of their savory, perfectly seasoned dirty rice. We finished the night with their indulgent, warm Beignets dusted in a mountain of powdered sugar. We will definitely be back for more!

  • June 12, 2026

    Never ever disappointing. I have been enjoying Tibby's since the week they opened many years ago. Only problem is deciding what to have off the menu. The weekend brunch is a nice addition.

  • June 10, 2026

    I wish I remembered our server’s name, she was great! We visited a month or two ago while we were in the area for work. The food was great and my daughter loved all the fun decor (especially the disco ball). Management also came around and checked on us which shows they really care about guest experience. This was our favorite place we visited.
