This place came highly recommended by locals. They give you so much food, the dinners are way too much for the average person. The catfish was so light and flaky and the breading is perfect and nicely compliments the fish! Its the best fried fish I’ve ever had! The barbecue shrimp is very good. It is not barbecue as we know it in Chicago. It is sautéed in this oily, buttery, aggressively seasoned sauce and my husband thoroughly enjoyed it! The spicy whole potatoes that they give you as a appetizer is pleasantly different from any appetizer we’ve had and they are very, very good!

If you’re looking for great Chinese food at a reasonable price you’ll love this place. Some friends and I ate here today and love it. I read all the reviews and I’m pleased to say IT’S ALL TRUE!!! We had Susan as our server and she exuded excellent service. Her drinks were made to perfection and served along with a perfect smile. The food was perfect and we can’t repeat that enough. The location true is in a strip mall, but it’s a very nice and comfy place. Here are some pics of the food we ordered and I hope this review sends more natives or visitors to this location. 1. General Tso’s Chicken with shrimp fried rice and egg roll… 2. Seafood Hot Pot… 3. Grilled Shrimp…

The ladies were friendly and very funny. The food was fresh, hot and accurately on time. I’m not sure if there was new management or anything, but I must say that I felt a great improvement in service and the atmosphere.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the food the salad was truly amazing along with the garlic bread some of the best garlic bread ever it actually look like a personal size pizza without the sauce but the taste was very garlicky phenomenal my favorite. I have to say the location is quite dingy it could certainly use a good scrub, not the type of place I typically dine in, but I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and be open-minded. I would certainly go back there. I ate there twice in the two days that I was there, so that says a lot. It was really hard to get delivery thankfully their hotel was right across the street so we were able to walk twice one of those times was in the pouring thunderstorm that happened to be going on but it was so worth it. If you’re in New Orleans, make sure you make it to the original Italian pie. The customer service was superb, very friendly, and welcoming it was almost like being around family. Thank you for a wonderful experience

If you’re new to Bellgarde Bakery, I encourage you to try all the products. Whether in person or purchasing online, you cannot go wrong. This is a high-quality bakery. Thank you to all the wonderful people at Bellgarde Bakery for working through a pandemic, and doing the best possible job imaginable. I am so impressed with your flour that I order it all the way from New York State. I normally cut regular AP flour with some of your out of this world, best tasting flour, to achieve a wonderful loaf of bread, pasta, and other baked goods. I recently tried some of your macaroni and found it every bit as good as the flour you sell. I just wanted you to know how fortunate and grateful I am, for all of you at Bellgarde Bakery.

Was almost scared away from going here due to some of the reviews but so glad I went! They have a fantastic bulk section with great selection and while its definitely pricey, I enjoyed the experience of shopping here. They may have replaced some of the staff workers because every employee I came across was very friendly. The sink is certainly not dirty. I personally don’t find a 10% discount on overpriced produce appealing enough to become a member but that may not be the case for everyone. Overall, I will be going back for specific items (and the bulk section) but likely won’t be coming here for my primary grocery shopping.

OMG what an incredible supermarket. The staff here knows the meaning of customer service. Southern hospitality at its best. I could just spend hours looking around. You will definitely find what you’re looking 4 plus more. Excellent experience at this supermarket.

Great Deviled eggs. Hmm waited for cranky pants…. No worries enjoyed a blood orange beer. Fish tacos were stellar. Service amazing. Real brewery.

The macaroni and cheese was divine. And the ribs tasted like they were backed in honey the texture was perfect on the pallette. This restaurant esthetics was amazing brick with concrete walls. And wall to wall art. There is also a court yard.

We love the Sazerac Bar. This is a definite old school saloon with great historic touches. The mixologists here are professionals and can likely make any cocktail you can request. The service is good but the place stays very busy. Expect to sit patiently and wait to be served. I am not aware of any food served here but the Fountain lounge next door serves food. A great old bar with really well crafted cocktails.

This is by far one of the best restaurants I’ve visited. The staff and ambiance is true to NOLA. Their blackened fish with lobster meat on top was amazing, their ribs was out of this world fall off the bone, melts in your mouth kind of thing with a barbecue sauce that was perfectly balanced with the sweet and spicy. I may come back tonight for their crab cakes and oysters

Customer service is amazing! Such a homey feeling when you walk up to the counter and man the food is so delicious 😋 today I had the red beans and grilled tenders, with corn bread. Nothing like homemade red beans 🫘

Amazing place! Definitely worth eating at. The bottomless mimosas were tasty – the champagne is really strong. The atmosphere is both cozy and sophisticated, and the wait staff were friendly and fun. Musicians came to our table to play for us – even took requests. Word of caution – MAKE A RESERVATION. They rarely have open tables and will often turn people away. Book way ahead of time as seats fill up FAST.

Linda and her team are AMAZING!! We had the most beautiful wedding at Swoops! Chef Lisa created a delicious menu tailored to our needs. Linda went above and beyond to give us the wedding we envisioned. Linda also took our photos, and they are gorgeous! The venu is gorgeous and has that classic NOLA vibe. I cannot recommend Swoops enough. We tell everyone what a truly amazing experience we had with Linda and Chef Lisa.

Best biscuit on the planet covered in butter, split and buttered and served with butter! Everything is old school yum. Coffee was good and hot. Food and service awesome. It was great to see and all woman run kitchen headed up by Miss Jean. There is a line up usually but it’s really quick.

This was a great restaurant. I spent two days looking for a regular place to eat that wasn’t over the top commercialized, over priced or geared towards the experience versus the food. Mother’s is located just off the French Quarters but an easy walk from there. Their food was very good. They had a great selection of the traditional local food and the price was fair. We were able to get to plates for around $30. The dining area was really basic but comfortable enough to enjoy the meal. The staff was very helpful since I have never had creole food before and the staff was happy to help explain and show pics of their food. Also, the food was very good. The gumbo and jambalaya was the best we’ve tried so far. As you walk in they hand you a menu and you continue to the register to order your food. You order and they hand you your receipt and someone comes by and picks that up and brings your food right to you. Very simple and enjoyable.

Absolutely delicious! In town for a conference and decided to venture out. It was definitely worth it. Best meal we’ve had on the trip so far and this is our 3rd day here. I’m a breakfast person so this was excellent 👌

We ended up here by accident, as a 3rd choice after other places were closed, but that worked in our favor, because this was an absolutely incredible breakfast! I got the crab cakes Benedict with hash browns, and WOW so good and so much flavor and just so delicious. I’m not normally one to say things like, “This is too much food,” but it actually WAS too much food and I couldn’t finish it, no matter how much I wanted to! My husband got the traditional breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, toast, and hash browns, and he loved his as well. I’d also say prices were fair for the amount of food you get, which is definitely not always the case in this part of the city in particular.

Don’t miss out on their soft shell crabs!
