Eating in New Orleans

Need a solid place to eat late Friday night for a group of 15 and I don't have much experience with New Orleans restaurants.
Things to consider:
- we don't drink, so alcohol selection is irrelevant (I know I can't be trusted, sounds boring, holy roller, how are you supposed to have fun, blah blah blah, whatever)
- probably won't get there til like 9-9:30pm so they need to be open late
- ability to make a reservation would be nice
- would rather it not be a chain, something unique to NOLA would be super
- group consists of a bunch of guys that like to eat, so decent portion size would be good too (inb4homo...it's the end of a bachelor party, jerks)
With that in mind, I have already looked at the following: NOLA (by Emeril), Mosca's, Tony Angello's, Cochon and Cowbell. The last 2 are still possible but all I have to go on are (possibly fake) Yelp reviews. A friend mentioned Dickie Brennan's but I'd rather give everyone the option not to spend $50+ if possible.
My last resort is going to be scattered, covered, smothered, chunked and diced at Waffle House.

You might get better answers on the Food board. Also, there is a dining guide full of TDers reviews of restaurants LINK

So what can you blame those awkward trips to the strip clubs on now?

We're a bunch of boring Christians so that won't be a problem.

And obviously the best option out of that motley bunch is Cochon, by about a million miles.

Man, the only answer for this used to be the Hummingbird Grill. I sure miss that place...

A table for 15 at 9:00 on Friday will be impossible at Cochon, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Tough to get a group of 15 in there and they don't take reservations. But FWIW this is my favorite place in NOLA.

A 15 top at 930 on a busy Friday night filled with people who don't drink.
You are going to be a real favorite of whoever draws your table.
