angeline's louisiana kitchen

early in the day we tried booking a reservation online but they were already booked for the night! we took our chances and went anyway to see how long we would have to wait until we were seated. we ended up waiting half an hour which was pretty reasonable considering how packed the place was! 

although there is definitely an urban vibe to angeline’s it is also incredibly warm and comfortable. despite being busy we could still hear each other speak despite the crowd.

the sparkling strawberry lemonade was absolutely worth the $4! so delicious. my sister's root beer was also very good. we ordered the hush puppies with honey butter to share between us, as well as the grilled boudin traditional cajun pork with rice sausage and creole mustard and arugula. the sausage was delicious and quite spicy but those hush puppies? my word they were outstanding! crispy on the outside, light and fluffy but with that cornmeal bite in the centre and the honey butter oozing on top. divine! a great way to start.

i finally had my first po’boy and it came with a spicy potato salad. i got the shrimp po’boy and asked for them to hold the hot sauce but keep the creole mustard and it worked perfect. the shrimp were super crispy and the overall sandwich absolutely delicious and quite filling.

my sisters both ordered the buttermilk fried chicken with ginger-vanilla sweet potato mash, tasso ham cream gravy and blue lake green beans with parmesan. i had considered getting it as well but i was worried the sweet potato mash would be too sweet for me. one shared her fried chicken with me and it was perfection and that mash? delicious. justin was in heaven with his meat fest the cajun mixed grill. everything was so good.

i was a little nervous about going to angeline’s louisiana kitchen because i thought thefoodwould be too spicy for me but man, am i ever glad we went. they accommodated my lack of spice tolerance (although i think i did quite well with the creole mustard) and thefoodwas absolutely fantastic.

this place is definitely worth the wait. warm and cozy atmosphere, comfortfoodthat will heal the soul and even the soft drinks are divine.

this place was great! thefoodwasn't that pricey and thefooditself was great. my grand parents are southern natives and it tasted like it was imported from their home. would suggest that anybody in berkeley gives this place a visit.

angelina's was our lunch destination on the warm berkeley after noon. my great grandmother and i pulled up in front angelia's and walked in and was greeted at the door by a friendly girl that sat us close to the entrance by the window. it had a nice atmosphere tastefully decorated with a new orleans them but not overly done. the lunch menu is the the same as the dinner menus and the price are the same ... but i did note there is more of a selection during lunch then dinner ?!. my great grandmother got a fried shrimp po boy( deconstructed) $13.99 being with a side of gumbo and i got the crawfish étouffée $13.99 it was good but it was only warm when i got it . my great grandmother enjoyed her deconstructed shrimp po boy and the shrimp was fried to perfection and was good and hot . the gumbo had a good taste to it. it had a familiar taste that my grandmothers gumbo has , but was a little to thick for my taste. so i brought myfoodhome warmed my crawfish étouffée and thinned out the gumbo and it was good. i will be making a return visit to angelina's with my husband in tow he wanted to eat hear but i did it before him .... shhhh don't tell him lol ... so hopefully myfoodwill be hot next time and i'm going to try there red beans and rice :)



update december 8 2015

so funnily brought my famly hear for dinner and extremely disappointed ... one there is no kids menus .. no problem the kid will eat ribs .. at $ 18.99 they should be good ... no drenched in a sauces that tastes of liquid smoke and burnt ribs ... now i got to feed my kid mcdonalds because they suck .. so right now i feel ripped off ,for over priced crapy down home louisiana cooking ... i would have gotten a better tasting meal eaten with the cast of swamp people and duck dynasty to get a taster cheaper meal .... so this will be the last time i will eat hear ... sorry angelina's i had hopes for you and you disappointed us ;( ... oh and are waiter was really no were to be found ... and if you ask for bread it's a no, maybe , yes game , we'll on some days ... it's very limited .... ummm ok

a feeling of dissatisfaction. . .. there's an old saying, "a fool and his money are soon parted." on april 12, i was such a fool, an ignorant fool, ignorant about cajunfoodand how greasy it is. if this is "it", my first experience with cajun cooking, then this was my last dabble in the grub. besides thefoodbeing greasy, heart attack ready and over-priced, service was so-so at best. paid $160 for 5 of us, all of it grease-laden. then there were service issues: my wife spilled water accidentally. a waiter did a perfunctory swipe on the table but left most of the clean up to us the customers. water remained on the floor for the rest of the evening. the waitress did come by and offer a refill of coffee, but it was the end of the pot,so i got 1/3 of a cup, luke warm at that. she promised to come back with more but must have gotten side-tracked. when we left, she was at a table counting money. when | pay this much money, i expect good service besides good food. this place has neither. why pay so much when chruche's or kfc has the same fare but for much less in price?
