“ordered our first pizza. got wings and 2 pizzas, $32. felt the wings were small and didn't get many. flavor was good for spicy one. pizza was more like a medium sized but tasted good not greasy. ingredient amount was awesome. Will get again. loved how you express your love for God on box.“

“We eat here often n able to say we have yet to leave unhappy or disappointed. That little thing working the grill knows what she's doing! The best pork chops n bacon cheese steak you'll ever eat. Always happy n polite, I don't think we've ever not received the famous hi welcome to waffle house greeting as we're always greeted with a smile n inviting presence as her station is always good clean, u know for a waffle house lol Even while TWICE last week the poor lady was left alone to be both the cook n the waitress, when usually her daughter waits on us but 2 days in a row noone, now don't get me wrong she absolutely killed it, she always does. But even when left doing it alone still she gonna be doing her thing!!“

“Yall saved us during the NFL Superbowl Experience at the convention center. Only a 5 min walk, didnt need an hour wait (like the main Cochon). Collard greens, fresh sharp & sweet, had bacon like they should.10$ Batture blond ale& whisky special hit just right after a long day. Fried chicken was fat & juicy with crunchy skin alive with pepper. The muffaletta was tangy with olive salad and butchershop quality cold cuts and cheese, second best in town next to Central Grocery!“

“Most amazing staff and the wine and food pairing recommendations were perfect.“

“1st time going 9/22/2024 food was good,will be returning,I had grits,eggs,bacon,toast and some good Lemonade“

“What a.stunning wine list! Both eclectic and a great value! Food is also outstanding….“

“Had to visit as I heard this was one of the best places to get donuts and coffee. Came here on our last night after dinner and got the espresso with ice cream and a shake along with a cinnamon roll to share with my honey. The shake was a perfect consistency. Then came here again the day we were leaving out as they have Koloches. Haven’t seen those since we lived in Texas. It was pretty good but that Vietnamese coffee 🤤🤤🤤 it was soo good. I’m craving it now as I write this. Then got some donuts for the road. All very good. Highly recommend this place.“

“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter. The vibe is perfect. Its the darkness and the music that really makes me not want to leave. It’s rock’n’roll without being a dive. Oh yeah, did I say the food is pretty good too?“

“10/10 experience. We ordered half of the menu and everything was absolutely delicious. My favorites were the fried green tomatoes, cauliflower, and Brussels. Excited to return.

Also super cute that a scratch off came with the check. ?“

“The Napoleon House has always been fantastic. Great food, ambiance and service. I recommend you to everyone. I've been going to The Napoleon House for decades. It's not your fault some people don't know what a side dish or Creole food are.“

“Delicious and charming! Go!!“

“The next time you’re in NO, make a reservation at August! You’ll thank us, I promise. 🤤 FIVE STAR REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The meal started out with a “gift from the chef.” A savory leek custard, topped with pumpkin mousse and a sprinkle of sweet & salty crunch, presented in a perfectly carved eggshell. We were given spoon bread as well, which was the lightest, airiest and creamiest corn muffin ever to cross my lips. The sommelier told us that the secret ingredient was sour cream. I guess the secret is out now! 😉 Our sommelier suggested Pinot Noir. Monty chose Belle Glos Las Alturas. Let’s just say that we started shopping for it online immediately after the first taste. It has a fuller body than a typical Pinot Noir, so smooth and juicy. Such a perfect pairing. 🤌🏼 Monty had the pecan-smoked venison tartare with celery root and mountain rose apple. The flavors and textures were out of this world! We combined a few bites of the tartare with a bit of spoon bread. Omg, I’ll say it again: Out. Of. This. World. 💥 I ordered the gnocchi "black and blue" with black truffles, jumbo lump crab and parmesan. Tender, yet slightly firm, with a delicate, pillowy texture, but the truffle took it to a whole ‘nuther level! They gnocchi’d it out of the park with this one. For dinner we shared duck three ways with Bayou Cora grits, foie gras, confit, chestnut mushrooms and cherry bounce. Y’all, I’ve had foie gras, but never before like this. An intensely flavorful silky texture that literally bursts on your tongue. It was absolutely divine. Dessert was hummingbird cake with creole cheesecake, bruleed banana and pineapple ice cream. I just don’t know what to say except the pastry chef knows exactly what she is doing!! This was definitely meal to remember with the love of my life, my favorite dining companion, and my partner in culinary escapades. I love our journey of flavorful adventures, seasoned with spice and a love that mirrors the diversity of a well-crafted menu. Here’s to more delicious chapters in our love story, baby, where every bite is a beautiful reminder of the incredible life we share! Cheers!! 🥂🥂“

“This review is for the two separate times i’ve been to Russell’s Marina Grill. Service: The customer service is amazing. I had different waitresses each time and both of them were so kind and welcoming. They made great suggestions and made me feel like they wanted me to have the best meal of my life. They also took time to get to know me by asking about where i’m from, what I do, etc. I felt extremely at home and would come here for the service alone. Food: The food is amazing, it’s almost unbelievable that this place exists. I ordered the Ruby’s Special and Eggs Benedict the first time; ordered the Eggs Benedict the second time. Both times, the Eggs Benedict did NOT disappoint. The eggs were cooked perfectly with an english muffin that had the ideal crispyness to it. The Ruby’s Special is a burger with fries and a cherry vanilla shake. I asked for the burger to be as rare as possible; most places will cook it medium rare. However, they cooked my burger to the most perfect level of being as rare as possible. I was extremely impressed and will definitely be coming back anytime i’m in Nola.“

“Absolutely incredible! The staff made us feel like we were family and that we were the most important people in the world. I'm not kidding about that last statement... they were awesome! The Chef, Joe Boudreaux, was extremely personable and truly enjoyed talking about his passion, cooking. The food was fantastic... boudin egg rolls, the spicy fried oyster appetizer, the Montecristo, and the pork belly wedge were all so delicious. My advice is to take a little road trip to St. Rose and eat some of the best food and meet some incredible folks.“

“I mean churning out hot donuts on the day a hurricane is hitting?! That’s dedication. I had them delivered to Kenner and they were still warm! My mom said these might be better than an OG Nola donut staple, and while I called blasphemy I might secretly agree.“

“I was in a rush, and the hostess was kind and patient with me. I tried the roasted Chicken and it was WOW. The French technique they use was absolutely amazing. The nice char on the outside with the soft moist inside made it great. The greens were also stupendous. It was a bit pricey so watch out there.“
