The Eggs Creole (benedict with red creole sauce on it) has ruined Eggs Benedict for me everywhere else. I used to get that a lot - - but no where else compares to Bon Temps. Started out going to great lunches there - then breakfast - then dinners. All three are excellent. more

I used to go to this place once a week--sometimes twice--but I've had a difficult time convincing health-conscious friends to go lately. This is one place where I have probably eaten my way through almost the entire dinner menu. I liked everything, from jambalaya to etoufee to this one delectable special they once offered of mahi-mahi with collard greens and... more

It's got such a great menu, the food is excellent (and plenty of it), service is always good, and the atmosphere is perfect, cher. Y'all bring yo mama n 'em on by for andouille sausage, Creole French Toast,... more

As a spicy foods lover, I always get excited coming here because they seriously have about a dozen different hot sauces sitting on each table. Pick which one you like, or try them all, it's always fun. Atmosphere is very casual and there are a few tables outside for sunny days. more

We've eaten here 3 times during visits to San Luis Obispo. The atmosphere is quaint and interesting, very New Orleans. The service is terrific, food is great, beer is cold, price is right. What more can you ask? more
