Cochon Butcher

What a great place to get sandwiches in New Orleans. Gets pretty busy, including people fighting for tables and even for the bathroom! Overall, the food and service was good, better than I thought! I highly recommend and would come back.

Each visit here is always an amazing experience of culinary excellence. The last time I visited New Orleans, this was my first meal and my most recent visit, I made it my last meal. On this trip, I enjoyed both a Muffaletta and a charcuterie board. The care and precision that is put into each cut of meat makes shines through with each bite. The flavors explode with great seasoning and the meats are so tender. The bread used in the Muffaletta has a great balance of softness, yet firm enough to ensure all the meats and cheeses are held together. My date and I usually sit at the bar and get great service and conversation. Additionally, the Star Wars themes throughout are fun and whimsical. I can’t wait to return on my next visit to the Crescent City.

I asked AI’s opinion on how to spend my last afternoon in NOLA on my work trip and it suggested I take a 1mi walk here and have lunch. It was crowded from a nearby conference but they aggressively managed everyone and my experience as a solo diner was great. I’m not a sandwich person. I’ll spare you the details and claim I’m not picky (but let’s face it, I’m picky). This was the best sandwich I’ve ever had. I ordered the habanero hot sauce for home delivery before I was at the corner on my walk back. I bragged to my family chat about my lunch and now I’ll brag here too. I had a great lunch here and I think you will too.

Great place for a tasty lunch. I ate lunch here a couple days while in town, and enjoyed it plenty. Grilled salmon belly was my favorite, packed with flavor and served with fresh greens salad. perfect for a light lunch. Close in second was the muffaletta, savory and filling. The charcuterie I chose was pork rillon and duck pastrami. Both good, but quite salty, probably better enjoyed as complement to a pint or two at the bar, rather than eating on its own. Quick service, you can order at the counter or the bar, friendly staff, tasty food.

We visited around 1 pm on a Saturday and there was a line out the door. The line moved quickly and we surprisingly found a table. We got the fried chicken which was a special on Saturday. It was so moist and delicious. The collard greens had bacon chunks which was something I had never tried before. Our kids had the mac and cheese and the ham stuffed pretzel. Everything was perfect and the prices were very reasonable. Can’t wait to visit again!
