Krewe

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krewe isn’t just good — it’s memorable. Some restaurants are good. Krewe is the kind you plan your next visit to before you’ve even paid the bill. From the moment the plates hit the table, you could tell this kitchen cares. The plating across every dish was dialed in — intentional, balanced, and beautiful without being fussy. Especially that key lime pie. More on that in a second. The maque choux was a knockout. Creamy sweet corn layered with peppers and herbs, topped with perfectly grilled sausage medallions that had that smoky char that makes you stop mid-bite. The richness of the corn with the depth from the sausage was unreal. Comfort food, yes — but elevated, composed, and confidently executed. Grandpa’s gumbo tasted like it came with a story. Deep, layered, and built with patience. The broth was rich but clean, not heavy or muddy. Every protein was cooked properly. It had that balance you only get when someone knows exactly what they’re doing. This wasn’t “inspired by” New Orleans — it felt rooted in it. The French onion soup was good, but it was the one dish that didn’t quite hit the same level as the rest. The broth had solid flavor, but the cheese, while broiled, leaned more firm than gooey, and the bread was cut a bit too large to get a perfect spoonful. Still enjoyable — just not as seamless as the other dishes. Now the key lime pie. This is where Krewe flexes. The plating alone was gorgeous — tall, clean slice, flaky crust, fresh whipped cream, lime zest, thoughtful detail on the plate. The crust being flaky instead of graham made it feel refined. The filling was silky, bright, and balanced — tart but not sharp, sweet but not heavy. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you rethink ordering “just a bite.” Krewe feels intentional. It feels personal. It feels like a kitchen that respects tradition but isn’t stuck in it. We’ll absolutely be back — and we’ll be bringing people with us.”

“On our bi-monthly visit to Costco St. Cloud we had lunch. The food was fabulous. I have to say this is now our favorite restaurant in the area. Our server was excellent. It is a must visit if you love New Orleans style food. MN Maque Choux tasted like a bowl full on warm hugs! Grandpa's Gumbo was the best ever!”

“Made a reservation and stopped in for lunch. This place was delicious, we ordered the oysters, must have, they were to die for! There was 4 different types and we tried one of each. The best appetizer was the fried green tomato, another must order if your looking for something tasty! We had a great meal, split a bunch of appetizers, had a few drinks and enjoyed a great time! Would not hesitate to recommend this joint.”

“11/16/2025 Visit - had heard of this on a Facebook group and knew I had to check it out. Was REALLY glad we made the trip to visit, their food was amazing. I had the shrimp po boy which was excellent and full of shrimp, corn bread was just slightly sweet, boudin balls were really good. Hubs had the gumbo and said it was the best he’s had. Would love it to be closer, but then wouldn’t be special.”

“Lunch: We ordered some muscles they had 3 different kinds ( partner says they were really good) we got boudin ball ( these were great came with a yummy dipping sauce). Red beans and rice was great flavored really well just a bit too salty. Shrimp etouffe was good, didn’t blow me away as I was excited to try it and the smothered collard greens were just ok for me ( partner loved it) was a bit vinegar forward for me., but if that’s your jam you’ll like it. Spent $160 for meal with 2 drinks bit expensive Would go back to try dinner items”
