In Short
Huge, open and friendly, Jazz houses a big bar and a giant dining room; jazzy bands play while you dine. The crowd is mostly couples and tables of friends. Brick walls and a pressed-tin ceiling hold neon beer signs and Mardi Gras decorations. The kitchen serves a Texas version of traditional New Orleans fare. Appetizers include popcorn shrimp, stuffed mushrooms and jambalaya. Entrees feature gumbo, crawfish etouffee and blackened catfish. Turtle cheesecake is a favorite.

i recently went to see a show at the Parishz. The bartenders were rude and i contacted the owner Chad Helton and he had the same negative attitude as well. i wonder where the staff learns their dissrespectful dimeanor towards the customers. If you do not deal well with people why are you in the restuarant bussiness.? i will not waste another penny at a place like this. Customer service is at the bottom this music venues list

Jazz is one of my favorite places in Austin, and THE place to go for great New Orleans food and a fun mardi gras vibe. The stuffed zucchini appetizer is simply one of the most scrumptious things I've ever had - I'll go there just for that! And the bread pudding is to die for - a table of 8 of us ate off one of the huge servings of it! Don't forget to check out the Parish upstairs - great little hidden gem of a live music venue.

What a fun place to eat!! Very high energy Bourbon Street atmosphere. My husband really loves the Chicken A La Mer, but I like the lighter heart-healthy items like Cajun Stir-Fry. A must-see for 6th Street!!
