AJ's Jazzy Grill operates out of a small storefront on N Claiborne Ave in Treme, serving Creole and Southern food built around to-go orders. Regulars point to the fried catfish and gumbo as the dishes to order, and the spot has built a loyal following as a neighborhood staple.
A viral mention from food personality Keith Lee brought a surge of new attention and demand, and the reaction since has been split — some diners still find the food, service, and atmosphere worth the visit, while others report inconsistent execution, order mix-ups, and pricing gripes as the crowds have grown. It remains a Treme name with a devoted local base, now navigating a much bigger spotlight.
