The signature dish and best-seller — a fried beignet pillow filled with sweet Creole sauce, succulent lump crabmeat, and tender shrimp. The crawfish sauce is built like a Creole reduction with the holy trinity of vegetables and Creole spices. It's savory, slightly spicy, and the fried exterior contrasts with the creamy filling. Reviewers say these are the beignets that show why the restaurant earned its reputation.
Tips from diners
Order this first — it's the dish that defines what Stuph'd is about. The Creole sauce and seafood are what set it apart from every other fried dough.
Arrive by 1 pm on weekdays — they fry beignets to order and peak freshness happens early.
Beignets stuffed with sweet potato filling and cinnamon sugar.
Tips from diners
Order this for dessert or as a sweet-savory pairing with your burger — the cinnamon sugar is restrained and lets the sweet potato shine.
Beignets stuffed with sliced steak, melted cheese, onions, and peppers.
Tips from diners
Try this alongside the Creole Queen to experience both sides of Stuph'd's beignet range.
Lean turkey patty topped with sautéed shrimp, spinach, and sauce.
Tips from diners
This is the lighter burger option that doesn't compromise on flavor — the shrimp adds brine and the spinach adds earthiness.
The burger that pairs with the beignets — a juicy patty topped with melted sharp cheddar, fresh jalapeño slices, and a house sauce. It's spicy and creamy, rich and balanced. Made to order, so expect a wait — reviewers say it's worth it because the flavors are bright and the meat is quality.
Tips from diners
Ask for extra jalapeños — the heat cuts through the cheese richness.
Stuph'd opened in 2016, created by Duana Lawrence to reinvent the iconic New Orleans beignet. Rather than serving sweet powdered pastries, the restaurant offers savory beignets stuffed with Creole crawfish, crab, shrimp, and other Gulf ingredients — alongside creative gourmet burgers. The Creole Queen is the signature: crawfish sauce, lump crab, and shrimp in a fried-to-order beignet. The concept bridges New Orleans tradition with contemporary comfort food.
Food is cooked to order — expect a 10-15 minute wait for beignets. It's worth it because they fry fresh each time.
The space is small — groups of 4+ may need to do takeout or stand around the counter. Call ahead if you want to coordinate timing.
Takeout and delivery available — Stuph'd beignets travel well and stay warm in a box for 20-30 minutes.
