Review Dad E O's - Edmonton

First timer to DaDeo here! Gotta say, DaDeO is definitely your one stop shop for New Orleans food here in YEG! The price was extremely fair for the portions that I was getting! The staff was extremely nice and personable! Our server Tyler was awesome! I started off with the Corn Fritters, AMAZING! They were crispy on the outside and nice and light on the inside! Then I had the Calamari Po’boy, delicious! The jambalaya rice and side of tam fries were perfection! Everything here was delicious and I am definitely coming back for more.

Came here with my boyfriend early Saturday evening, I ordered "combo dadeo" it had rice, grilled chicken and baked beans. The dish had a nice amount of spice, I enjoyed everything except the baked beans (which had a lot of artifical liquid smoke) my boyfriend ordered "po boys philly cheese steak" a side of rice and coleslaw. Meat was seasoned nicely and they had a good balance of cheese. The food was nothing mind blowing, we both enjoyed our meals as it felt "home cooked" , I can't see us coming back here for a few reasons. First the staff seemed very unfriendly, there is no signage saying help yourself to a seat, so we stood in the door way only to have a waitress look at us and walk away. When we did come into the restaurant we were abruptly stopped and rudely told we need to show proof of vaccination -which is fine given that we are in a pandemic. However it was the demeanor, you could tell that they could care less about your business, and just wanted us out of the way. The staff were shouting the whole time and a few members stopped to have tequila shots with the table in front of us. Since the group was crowding near our table it made the whole booth shake, and no one seemed to care that they were being disruptive. Not a lot of social distancing measures were being taken. As the establishment is a bit worn down, the tables were wobbly. The booths were very tiny making for a uncomfortable fit while eating. The interior is cute it had a old retro vibe and they play music from the 60s. Appetizers were 2 tiny stale biscuits with jalapeño jam. Bathroom is rather tiny but the upkeep is there. Overall I would rate the experience 3/5

My favorite restaurant in Edmonton. The sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had. Po'boys are to die for. They do discount po'boys during the week for lunch. We bought the jalapeño jelly and DaDeO spices to take home. Cool vibes and great service. We always make a stop here whenever we're in town.

BEST NEW ORLEANS FOOD IVE EVER HAD. This place is a perfect 10. From the outside, it's not crazy flashy. It has a nice diner retro vibe, but the food is probably the best food I've had in a long time. I've had jambalaya before and I thought I didn't like it, until I came here. PORTIONS are huge and worth every penny, and the flavours are honestly amazing. Come eat here if you're reading this.

Finally a date night with my wife and on a Friday evening. This was the perfect spot to enjoy some Southern/Cajun comfort food. We were seated up front looking out the bay window and were able to get in the Whyte Ave sights while enjoying drinks and dinner. First time trying a radler and bourbon and it was really good and would highly recommend. Can't have a meal without trying the biscuits and jalapeno jelly which was a nice little starter. Followed this with some calamari and finally dinner which was a blackened catfish po'boy, potato hash and my wife had the jambalaya. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. We really didn't want to leave and if humanly possible, would have kept eating to stay a bit longer. Restaurant has a great diner vibe, lots of neon, classic 50ies decor. Service was impeccable, our waitress was great considering she was juggling dine in patrons, checking IDs and vaccine passports and dealing with a bunch of skip/uber eats/doordash drivers piling up at the entrance. Great experience here, we will be back again soon.

Great local hotspot my coworker took me to. Had a great lunch: fun drinks, good food, friendly staff. Very cool place!

Love this place. Great music, staff, and decor. I’ve had the seafood jambalaya and the gumbo which were both awesome. Sweet potato fries are tasty, but are always short on sauce and it’s a bit of an annoyance to be charged for more. The jalapeño jelly and biscuits are a great starter. Would recommend

Very cool place, first dish I ordered was just amazing! The apple and Avocado salad- add chicken as well and it was just delicious! Second dish was calamari which was not good- the calamari itself was extra rubbery and the crust was just to heavy and tasteless. Over all I loved this place and definitely come again once in Edmonton, I must try more as the salad just left a very good impression on me

An eclectic Cajun diner on Whyte Ave. Service was fast, friendly, and our server was super knowledgeable (overheard assisting other tables). The drinks were served super fast and while our appies took a bit longer to materialise they were worth the wait. This most recent visit we shared the Cajun Calamari (fantastic) and Fritters (sweet potato or the jalapeño were my favorites). Mussels are always delicious and our standby I have only ever eaten the Po'boy sandwiches as an entree: fried oyster is delicious as is pulled pork. The sweet potato fries have a thick and crispy batter with a soft and buttery inside. I love dipping them in the Tiger Sauce mixed with a bit of the mayo dip. The hash is tasty too and deserves the side of gravy. Dessert consisting of a shared slice of pecan pie is heavenly. But for an even richer end to your meal the Banana Foster is unbelievable (feeds 4+ easily). Plus the show with tableside flambé is pure fun!

Our experience at Da-de-o was great! The servers were very courteous, cheerful and happy to serve you well even though it was very busy. We both had a jambalaya dish which the quality and taste did not disappoint. We also shared a Caesar salad and had the pecan pie for dessert. 😋 I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for the best in Cajun Louisiana food! T & L

I love this place and come here alot. The food is amazing and the service has always been great in the past. But today I went in to have my lunch break and when asked for ID I realized I had forgotten it. The waitress then went into a long angry rant about fines to me in a really bitchy and accusatory way that I did not appreciate. I know the laws and I understand them, No need to be rude to me and accuse me of making you lose your job when I was going to walk and find somewhere else to eat. Experience has marred my view of the place. It won't be my first choice for lunch anymore.

Had never been before, but since it was my birthday and my brother was in town, my boyfriend said we have to go. So we went, and I wasn't disappointed! I can't wait to come back. First time I've ever had a Po Boy, and from this place it won't be the last. My brother wants to come back to Edmonton so he can come back for the catfish. Keep up the awesome food and the great atmosphere that the place has. I can't forget the staff, as they were going to close about an hour after we had shown up, and they treated us like rock stars!!!

I’ve always loved this place but this time I ordered take away and picked it up. I got to my vehicle and my coleslaw was literally all over the container like it had be dropped. The was next to no meat in my Philly cheese steak sandwich either. Very, very disappointed. I expect more out of a meal that cost me $17.

Chicken and ribs with potato hash- delicious! The beans are wonderful and so is the pecan pie!! Definitely recommend this restaurant.

The perfect blend of flavor and spice. The dry wings are to die for!

I’ve been patronizing this lovely restaurant for years. Delicious food, amazing ambiance, and excellent - repeat - excellent service by the hippest, friendliest, most stylish staff, ever.

How can one ever hate this place... service with a smile... music that always just fits the food... that jalapeno jelly and that cornbread... never fails

I love this place, the food is great and the service is always awesome. The only downside is that it's relatively small, so trying to get in on a busy night is hard (since it's so amazing). I would recommend checking them out on a Sunday afternoon. :)

Always amazing food , ambiance and service. Pulled pork Po`Boy with chocolate cake for dessert. The only place my visiting guest from Vancouver wanted to go!

The place never disappoints, atmosphere, food and libations are simply wonderful.

If you have ever been down south in New Orleans, this place will take you right back . The cuisine is totally remarkable and the staff are very sociable. What a find!

Always the best food . The staff are all friendly and the service is second to none

Great service and awesome food! Love this place, always a good time �

Best place to eat in alberta. Great server and awesome service. When we are back in edmonton we will be back.... have the fritters!
