We had such a great experience at Toutant. The service was impeccable! I loved that the place appeared small, but has lots of space with different floors. We ordered biscuits and jam, the fried chicken with mash potatoes, sausage gravy, and candied yams and marshmallow meringue. We also ordered a baloney sandwich from their 9 year anniversary menu. The baloney sandwich has two big pieces of baloney, cheese, onions, mustard, a fried egg, and freshly baked bread. It's only there for a limited time. Get it while you can!! The biscuits and jam were also freshly made and delicious! I highly recommend the candied yams with marshmallow meringue! The sweet potatoes were more like a dessert than a side dish! I had one concern. I expected more from the fried chicken. Although it had a great crunch, it was missing the cayenne salt flavour. It was the same for the mash potatoes. It definitely needed some salt despite having the sausage gravy. I did not complain or tell the server even though I probably should've. The server was so friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. She gave us the bread pudding for my husband's birthday. We were so full, but she packed it up. It was so nice of them! I would definitely come back and try the rest of the menu!

First time here in awhile. And man, they haven’t missed a beat!!
Came here with family and friends For Sunday Brunch, and it was perfect(might be the best in Buffalo)
We started with the legendary biscuits, served with seasonal citrus jam, added the side of pimento cheese, so good.
Then for our mains we got the classics. Nashville Hot chicken, Shrimp and Grits, BBQ hash, Belgian Waffle. All perfectly prepared and delicious.
Finished with the next level brown butter ice cream. Creamy, savory and sweet.
Can’t recommend enough how great our experience was.
Amazing service, incredible food, Stellar Vibes

Amazing!!! They fit us in for a last minute reservation. What an amazing atmosphere! Service was good, but not fantastic. Gentleman up front was amazing!! Food was very, very good! Highly recommend the fried chicken or the ribs if they have them. The biscuits were to die for, but a little spendy for just bread. There were 5 of us, we all got different things and everyone was happy! Great portion sizes. As for dessert, if you get the brown butter ice cream, get it with the coffee & whiskey. It needs it, and it’s is absolutely incredible…but alone it’s just meh. We will definitely be back and looking forward to trying brunch.

Great drinks and must-try biscuits. Friendly, friendly staff. While the biscuits were out of this world, I though the rest of our selections were good. The collards were very bland and I had to douse in hot sauce. The buttermilk chicken was a huge portion, and a good recipe but could have used additional seasoning. The chicken fried steak tender and diner worthy. Fun atmosphere, beautiful old building with rich brick and woodwork. Wonderful service.

The venue is amazing. Love the vibe. The staff and service was impeccable; the food was great! We had the mashed potatoes, yams, cornbread and jambalaya with chicken. I was so excited for the food I didn't take pictures of them, but I did snap a shot of the Angels Envy old fashioned which was good. I definitely want to come back here again.

This place is a fancy lil spot in Downtown Buffalo. Very quaint and nice. The staff is incredibly sweet and the food was good. The portion size is nice, which means you'll probably have leftovers! They do not have parking, so you have to park on the street aaaaaaaaaaand, this place is NOT for the handicapped.
They have 3 levels of dining area: The bar is on the first floor with a couple of tables, and the bathroom is up a flight of stairs. The second level is 2 flights up, and the third level is 2 more flights up, which is a total of 4 flights.
DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE HANDICAPPED and HAVE DEVICES!!!!!!
P.S. the drinks are good and strong!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

If you want to be wowed by Food , A visit to here should be at the top of your priority list.

Has to be the best meal I’ve had yet in Buffalo yet !

Fried Chicken has a new definition in my book now, The Nashville Chicken here and the sauce is something which takes gourmet to another level. The slightly tangy , slightly sweet , umami flavor of the sauce was by far the best rendition of a hot sauce I’ve tasted !

The Fresh Buttermilk biscuits are heavenly and served with a delectable strawberry compote , BUT, don’t forget to order a side of the fresh Pimento Cheese and thank me later , they elevate the biscuits further !

In the drinks The Sazerac Old Fashioned was done really well and the Daiquiri was very good too.

The service by Amanda was excellent.

It’s a 10/10 in my book ! Can’t recommend this enough .

We stopped by for drinks and food on a Friday night. Unfortunately,the jambalaya was just okay, because the rice lacked flavor. The shrimp was delicious thiugh. The cornbread was overcooked and it had a slightly burned flavor.
The yams with marshmallows were delicious and the cocktails were excellent and the shrimp po boy was good too! I'd like to stop by again and try some other menu items. I should notes NOLA is my favorite place to visit and we've been many times for the authentic food, so my expectations were pretty high! ⚜️💜💛💚
