This review feels too little too late but I'm really missing Easy Creole today. I used to live one block away and walk over all the time to get the Chicken Creole. My favorite dish that I think about ALL THE TIME. I've also introduced Easy Creole to any friend that visits me in the bay. Every friend enjoyed it as much as me and were disappointed to learn that it's closed when they come back to visit me in the bay. I've since moved further and now it's more of a 20 minute drive, but it didn't change the frequency of how much I went. Easy Creole's Chicken Creole was the last meal I had before I had my wisdom teeth removed because that's how I wanted to remember food before going off solids for a week. And it was also my first meal back after finally having solids again, and man was it delicious. I also miss the hot sauce galore they had. They honestly inspired me and my boyfriend's hot sauce collection. Pre-pandemic Easy Creole was such a vibe and experience. Trying a different hot sauce for every bite was so fun and yummy. I really hope that one day we'll get to see Easy Creole again, and get the recipe to their Chicken Creole. But until then, I'll definitely still be thinking about you all the time.

This place was a local go-to for years. They closed down in August but said they'd secured a sale to someone who was going to re-open it, but now it sounds as though the buyer has reneged on the deal (or, to be accurate to what's been posted, "did not complete" the deal). I confess I'd been concerned about this for weeks, when en route for a pint at Hoi Polloi one afternoon I noticed some people going into the now shuttered property to look around. I surmised they were involved in the deal. A few days later, the sign referencing re-opening had been removed. Truly sad, I hope they figure something out. A great location and very good food. Do wish they'd brought back the cold brew after the pandemic, but these are small concerns in the existential churn of things. PS - If you want to stay updated on Easy Creole's fate, follow them on Instagram, that's where I heard the news.

Interesting concept. Half the menu is Omni and the other is vegan. Choose one or two entries over white or brown rice and it come with a piece of baguette that is toasted and "buttered ". Food is quick as it is already made in the back. There are sides and dessert if you want them too. There are large communal tables inside and a few places outside to eat. I think it's best with spicy to get the lost flavor as eating mushroom stroganoff after the white bean chili did not have the same flavor profile and got lost. Note: I would give this 3.5 stars but there is no half stars. come hungry as we ate a noon and I did not need dinner as I was still full.

I am really happy to say I used the catering services at EC and LOVED the experience! Russell and his team were BEYOND accommodating, it was a breeze! He made EVERYTHING easy peasy! They also delivered it and brought over everything he could think of that we would've needed. Here's the thing I think people get confused about...they say this isn't "creole" food when in reality it CLEARLY states in the info section that they're a little bit of this..lil bit of that! That their menu is Creole "inspired" with usage of spices often used in Creole cooking. Thats why its called "Easy" Creole. With that being said...food was great! Hot, fresh, just the right amount of kick! Here were our choices: Shrimp Etoufee - they licked the pan clean! Gumbo - gone immediately! Chicken one (not the tequila one) - I had to hide some to take home it was so good! Red beans and hot links - Spicy! I would 100% order from them again, no doubt! They really are flexible. Thanks Russell!!

5/5 Stars I stumbled upon this place while taking a walk around a friend's neighborhood. I wasn't that hungry but knew I should eat since I haven't eaten in 9 hours. I passed a few placed and none of their menus made my stomach growl to taste it. I stopped and saw the menu here and was very curious. I never had creole food (i think) so i stepped in. A lovely lady welcomed me in, answered my questions and gave me her recs. I said give it all to me. I ordered: -The 1/2 & 1/2 Chicken and Shrimp Creole with sour cream, onion and sour cream -Cornbread (if they have it, order it. It runs out) -Cole Slaw It was all full of flavor and fulfilling. The prices were great and i will be a retuning customer. So glad randomly found this place.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: I was pretty impressed with this place. I'll definitely be back. The extended review... Food: Chicken Creole & Shrimp Etouffee - 4/5 - OK...so both of these were both delicious and more importantly rich in flavor. I'm so glad that they offer a half and half option so that I could try both dishes. Service: 4/5 - Friendly service. Ambiance: 4/5 - Indoor and outdoor seating is available here. We sat indoors at the communal tables. There is a huge variety of decor inside and it's great to take a look at while you wait for your food.

I. Love. Easy. Creole. It's warm, comforting, and just so good. I love a place with a small menu, it definitely helps with indecisive people like me. Then to top it all off, you can do half & half so you can try TWO different things, even better! Everything was so flavorful and so filling. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. The last time I went I got the tequila caliente which was still good but definitely was on the outer limit of my spice tolerance. I recommend it if you like the spice!! Also get the corn bread. It's deliciously moist and the drizzle of honey all over the top is just perfect.

Easy Creole made it easy (ha) to try Creole cuisine! I really enjoyed their set up and how they change the menu everyday. It seems like they put their own twist on the cuisine with the dishes offered. The lady at the front was super patient and kind enough to explain each of the dishes we were considering. There's also plenty of seating indoors and outdoors to enjoy the meal. My boyfriend and I came here for lunch, and we were so excited about the choices that we got 2 half and half plates ($13 each). This was a bit ambitious of us and you could probably even split 1 plate between 2 people. We ended up trying the chicken creole, shrimp étouffée, chicken maque choux, and Thai peanut étouffée, which all came with cheese, onions, sour cream, and bread. The first 2 entrees were our favorites, but all of them had really great flavor. The thai peanut étouffée was a pretty interesting fusion -- I'm not sure I would get it again, but I appreciated the creativity and the fact that they have vegetarian options. The food is overall on the saltier and heavier side, so be prepared to be stuffed afterwards!
