From the restaurant’s website:
"One block uptown from . ... the famous music club Tipitina's sits a mid-19 century barge board cottage with burgundy clapboards and yellow shutters. Dinner plates line the walls and bear the names of Dick and Jenny's founding customers. Originally a grocery store, and later a po-boy shop, this funky New Orleans original is a gathering place for those who seek fine dining cuisine in a casual, comfortable and affordable setting."
Full bar. Serving dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.

Zagat 2011: 26 food rating (extraordinary to perfection)
The New Orleans Menu by Tom Fitzmorris: **** (excellent and ambitious)
"... Dick and Jenny's exudes rustic charm. Seared ahi tuna is served on a carrot and black sesame rice cake with grilled asparagus, wasabi aioli and soy reduction. The lobster and Brie topped filet mignon is served with garlic mashed potatoes and green peppercorn demi-glace."
— Gambit Weekly
"Dick & Jenny's is a neighborhood restaurant that pulls diners from all over town. The food is lusty and homespun, drawing on both Cajun and Creole cooking traditions. Reservations are not accepted, but diners traditionally don't mind the long waits, knowing the dark roux gumbo, fried oysters with spicy slaw, and smoked double-cut pork chops are worth it. The friendly, mid-level prices and rural cottage atmosphere only add to the appeal."
