Zea Rotisserie Metairie

Nice atmosphere. The food was sooo good. I can't wait to bring my husband in May. The food was so filled and liquid. WISH IT WAS A ZEAS IN CINCINNATI.

If I 'm being honest, the food was just ok. The rotisserie chicken with house rub was dry. They put way too much smoky flavoring into their collard greens. I 've never had collard greens in that way before and it was overbearing and annoying. It already had bacon in it. Why fix what ain 't broke? as the saying goes. The grits was outstanding, however, as usual. The (unsweetened) kiwi strawberry tea is just okay. It has a nice fragrance but don 't expect much extra in the way of flavor. The service was really nice and they clearly cared about our experience. Our server, Jordan, did everything right and was very helpful! The kitchen also agreed to an extra side of sliced cucumber for us to dip into the hummus appetizer. The hummus appetizer was fresh and delicious with lots of garlic. The duck empanadas appetizer was fine but considering how unhealthy it probably is, it wasn 't worth it. It tasted a lot like a Doritos Locos chalupa from Taco Bell , surprisingly! The atmosphere is great, though I 'm not sure why they were playing hardcore screaming rock at one point hahaha. It was a funny juxtaposition. I think the most impressive thing about this place is how consistent their service is even when they 're clearly very busy. We had no wait at all and great service. Also their menu is very diverse and I like that. Just maybe don 't get the white meat chicken. Opt for dark meat wherever possible.

The food was ok. The corn grits was delicious, the ribs didn't have enough flavor for me but my niece loved them. Service was great.

Johnny and his kitchen crew are amazing. I usually get the bronze trout, corn grits and collard greens. All of which were amazing. John, our waiter, was on point and just a cool person to talk to. It'd work for the company for 18 years and totally understands how to take care of his people. I'd return two nights a week easily.

We normally come here for happy hour and get the discount wine deal, which isn't bad. Food is usually pretty good considering the place is fast casual and attached to a mall. Our most recent time the service was a bit slow even though they weren't super busy, but that doesn't always happen and we weren't bothered. Recommend the Casablanca chicken or the fried chicken sandwich!
