Amazing $15 New Orleans Buffet with The Best Fried Chicken in town!

After some inspiration from Bill And Lisa ‪@billandlisa‬ on their travels to New Orleans and their infamous purple drink, we just couldn't resist and managed to make a weekend trip out to NOLA. And after arriving and touring the french quarter, we decided to take a break from all the beverages and souvenir shopping and headed out to dinner at a local Cajun / Creole Buffet!
This is the Louisiana Purchase Kitchen and I've heard they've got the best fried chicken and southern fried fish in town! And at $15 on weekends and $13 on weekdays, this is an incredible deal. Although the Uber ride was substantially more than the cost of our meals combined.
Great atmosphere, great people, and of course, great comforting southern food and a dash of southern hospitality. You certainly won't leave hungry!

Thanks for all your videos Tim. They have been a great escape while recuperating with a broken fibula for the past 7 weeks. When the walls closed in you made me forget I was stuck in bed or on the couch.

[@lynnec675]

Love the outtakes at the end. You should do more of those. I kept 😂😂 right along with you. Also, it's nice to see Albert again! Hope mum is doing well.

[@IrishGemm]

Tim, I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing! Thank you for telling us the truth about the long journey to New Orleans and how expensive it is to travel away from the main areas. It’s great to see you having fun with your friends and the food looked great and an absolute bargain for $15! The outtakes at the end were my favourite bit, great to see you enjoying yourself 🤗 Love from Ireland as always 🇮🇪🍀

[@AussieAngeS]

Hi Tim, New Orleans looks so great! I’ve heard the people are very friendly, the food looks wonderful and those beignets look addictive lol 😍

[@lynnchurchill3887]

Looks like a very homey and delicious meal. Southern style cabbage, yum-yum! And chocolate pie too! Doesn't have to be extravagant to be good! Thanks for sharing Tim!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

You’re so right! Not extravagant, and just great comfort food that hits all the tastebuds. I’ve never had southern cabbage before, and that was such a treat!

[@conniesmith3922]

Tim, I’ve never been to New Orleans. Thanks for the tour and the food looks delicious. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much. Just grateful to get visit and share these places. Much appreciate the kind comment.

[@ryangies4798]

@@TimLeeLetsGo I watch several traveling food channels. Very few are as upbeat and informative. I like that you talk about the history of the restaurant and speak with the staff on a personal and professional level (something very few vloggers if any do). When I watch others complain about food, I find myself asking… didn’t you ask the staff for a recommendation? I know they never do which is a shame. Not everything at a restaurant will be amazing but at least give it an opportunity to shine… which I feel you do! 👍

[@designsbydaphane3550]

😂Tim, I thought of you & chuckled while making my mustard, egg & dill potato salad the other day!!

Glad y’all were able to experience Mardi Gras and catch beads and not have to show too much!! 😂💜💛💚

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Really enjoyed the Louisiana purchase kitchen. You are so right with the hospitality and the great food there. Really enjoyed the meal, even though the Uber ride was substantially more than the meal.😉

[@rebeccaknight9712]

I live ten minutes from this place. It is located in unincorporated Jefferson Parish next to Aldi, a bunch of strip malls and is not far from the airport. It often has tour busses parked outside. I can't speak to the quality of the food because I have never eaten there, but I can't understand why you would pay more for an Uber to dine at a cafeteria style buffet so far from downtown when there are SO many other absolutely wonderful choices in New Orleans. You could have eaten at Commander's Palace instead of paying a fortune to take an Uber to Kenner.

[@trinatanIYN]

I love shrimp etoufeé, fried chicken n jambalaya. Looking so awesome, Tim! And it's so cheap too. 🎉

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much! We had a bit of sticker shock from the prices of the restaurants at the French Quarter and unfortunately, a few of the places weren’t to our liking. It’s nice to go out and find a nice place, even though the travel was quite expensive.😉

As a native of New Orleans, you need four seasons of clothing because the weather here is unpredictable. I'm glad you didn't go to Melba's because their food is horrible.

[@deesmith1612]

Just like Pa.

[@AlmostReady504]

Having lived here my entire life which is longer than I can take there are only TWO seasons in New Orleans

[@LordLOC]

@@AlmostReady504 Yeah, like here in South Florida, there's two seasons also. Hot, humid and you want to die - and not as hot and thankfully not humid anymore so you can live (which lasts 3 months if we're lucky).

a big change from the Bali buffets but still looking delicious and a bargain to boot.. would love to have access to this buffet it is a bit closer then all the beautiful Bali ones only 564 miles away apparently I could walk there in 204 hours...that's probably an ambitious time mark for me since one and a half miles to the doctor office kills my old legs for the one and a half back home again I'll wait till I can travel by some form of transportation that doesn't involve walking 😁...also now I want chocolate pie

[@vernolabullock5918]

Maybe the next time you might want to rent a car to get around. Instead of getting a Lyt or a Uber car save money if you know how to drive. Enjoy ya'll selves and eat plenty of food for me lol. One of my favorite places l want to visit. 🙏😊😮

Can you say yum all that food four fifteen dollars and I'm glad you had such a great time with your friends ❤

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Tim: all said & done that was a super buffet experience based on the selection of dishes, the $13-15 price in February 2024, the tasty, savory food & quite unusual to see a Cajun/Creole food -based buffet! On Bourbon Street, a small jambalaya is $20 alone. So, you split the $40 Uber😊

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I know! We spent quite a lot on food on Bourbon Street as we were staying near the French Quarter, and it wasn’t nearly as good. All in all, we did mention that given the cost of the Uber ride, it was still worth it compared to some of the places in the French Quarter.
