"The Maison is definitely the favorite, and it’s a staple on Frenchmen Street for good reason. It’s a huge, vibrant music venue with a fantastic energy that encourages dancing. The music is superb and often features a range of authentic New Orleans sounds like Jazz, Funk, and Brass bands. The place is big, with ample bar-side and seated options. The bartenders are friendly and contribute to the great vibe. If you want to dance, stay by the front stage, but if you want a quieter, more intimate feel, check out the other sections. It's an excellent choice for a fun night of great music, dancing, and reliable service."

"Maison was on food paradise show. We had the Cochon de Lalt. It was fantastic. The service was excellent. Alicia, our server was so amazing. Karl made out pi boy that was exceptional. Our hostess, Quida was so friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place. Live music, great service, and amazing food."

"Go! You can reading For those who like to read well then here is my one night take on Favela Chic. The atmosphere is exactly what you came to New Orleans for in the first place. Get off of Bourbon Street and head to Frenchman’s Street we were told by the locals and they were right. Better music, feel, and food at least in our experience. The music was provided by Skinny Tuba this night and they were so good. Way better than the top 40 style music we experienced on Bourbon Street. The food was really good especially the fries. Only complaint I have is that there is an automatic 20% tip PRE included and then they still ask for a tip. Be careful or you will end up tipping closer to 40% without knowing it. See the image of the receipt."

"Maison and Dirty Dozen Brass Band After spending the morning and afternoon at the 2025 New Orleans Jazz festival I headed back to my hotel to rest for a bit before seeing the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, for a 10 p.m. show at Maison. Located in the heart of Frenchmen (508 Frenchmen St.), I stopped by early to learn doors would open at 9:30 p.m., giving me enough time to cross the street for crawfish étouffée at Frenchmen All Day (630 Frenchmen Street). I had wisely paid for access to the balcony ($40 + $10 handling) and because I was first in line at 9:30 I was able to secure a small high-top table not far from the upstairs bar but with a view of the front of the stage. (I think general admission $25, was for standing room only.) The band was amazing! Rich, colorful sound, nicely blended by a group that clearly knew each other’s styles. It reminded me of some of the scenes from HBO’s series “Tremé” – the venue itself appears a couple of times in the series (which aired for four seasons starting in 2011 and currently is available through Amazon Prime Video). The Dirty Dozen Brass Band’s performance captured the swing and feeling of the French Market music scene. Not sure why the balcony lacked a video screen – much of the upstairs seating had great acoustics but no sight line of the stage itself. Drink prices were reasonable given the high quality of the venue, and the bartended was personable and helpful – and there was never more than a five-minute wait to get served. My only concern (and it’s not even a complaint) was the repeated appearance of iPad Man, who presumably had been responsible for the band’s sound engineering. He apparently needed to make many trips during the show to adjust sound values, and while the band didn’t need to stop while these changes were made, his presence at center stage was distracting. Maybe there’s a reason why traditional sound boards served their purpose so well for so many years. Whatever software was being used to run the sound quality, its user needs to up his game and get the job done before the show starts. I came to Maison hoping to experience the vibe that “Tremé” spoke to and was richly rewarded with an outstanding night in New Orleans."

"I had a phenomenal time here! I came early in the afternoon around 2ish? The band playing was amazing. The staff were friendly, and quick with service! You need to order at least one drink. I really enjoyed the band playing and purchased their vinyl. Will definitely come back here on my next visit."
