Supersonic Wings 1109 Gretna Blvd, Gretna Chicken Wings • $

“I drove around this place a few days ago and decided to stop today. I wish I would've taken a photo but the food was so hot and fresh I couldn't help but to dig in. At first, I was on the fence about the sauce not being tossed on the tenders however once I got out of that mindset, I was very pleased and preferred that the sauce was on the side. The tenders were so crunchy, juicy, and fresh, the fries were seasoned perfectly, crispy, and hot. To my surprise they have crushed ice similar to sonic ice but not as big. So for all my ice eaters who love to finish their drink, shake the cup, and eat the ice, this place is for you. There's also outdoor seating incase you'd want to sit down to eat. Thanks, Guys 10/10”

Personally, I dearly miss the hole in the wall mexican steam table restaurants that dish out like a panda express. All that being said, we love this place. Gives us a little taste of home that's more familiar than those super fancy taco spots around town. The food is well priced, fast and delicious.

Empress Of China 429 Wall Blvd, Gretna Chinese • $

“My first time here; as soon as I walked in, I was in love with the place. I see too many of these little “take out only” Chinese restaurants that are lit by fluorescent lighting ? and when I walked inside Empress of China, I knew I loved it. It was not bright inside, and Chinese mysic played softly in the background. So, immediately 10/10 for the atmosphere.The service was outstanding! The server got to me quickly, very attentive, friendly, git everything right. The tables were all clean, and had a young man who took care of that immediately after the customers left and cleaned the table thoroughly.I ordered the Mandarin Chicken. This is my “comfort food” at any Chinese restaurant. For those who don’t know this dish, it is boneless chicken (breast meat or thigh meat), breaded and deep fried… laid out onto a bed of lettuce, topped with brown sauce, and served with fried rice and your choice of egg roll, two veg spring rolls, crab rangoon, or chu chu (I think that’s mirliton but I’m not sure).There was A LOT OF FOOD. They do not skimp on portions. Everything was great, except for the brown sauce. This one had cumin in it (I think it was cumin, it could have been another spice) and it really kind of ruined the flavor for me. I like cumin, but not really with that sauce. My only gripe… everything else was delicious, and next time I go I’ll get something else. I’m definitely going back, even though it is way out of the way for me.I took lots of pictures, check them out. The place is just really nice on the inside… how a Chinese restaurant is supposed to be. Very relaxing. ?”

CC's Coffee House 1700 Belle Chasse Hwy b16, Gretna Coffee Shops • $

“This is a fantastic little independent coffee shop. The place is bright and clean, well decorated, and the owner works here. Every customer gets a personal greeting and a genuine smile. It has a drive-thru and there’s plenty of seating, some soft chairs and several tables, one perfectly suited for a group, with many outlets in the center for tech. I ordered a latte that is perfect, not all foam like I get from chains. The chocolate croissant reminded me of pastries I’ve had in Europe - buttery but not greasy, with high-quality dark chocolate that wasn’t ruined by lots of refined sugar. If I could give six stars for atmosphere, they would get six stars. The Baristas here know their products to the smallest detail; you can tell from the way they you questions about your order. They laugh and joke with customers but not at the expense of their work. They laugh WHILE working, not INSTEAD of working. If there was an Academy Awards for small businesses, this one would take the gold.”

Wendy's 1115 Stumpf Blvd, Gretna Fast Food • $

“Stopping in for a bite to eat after church, this was the closest Wendy's as we headed home. So glad that we stopped in via drive-through because the food was great and timely, I was famished after worship service. 3 of us in the vehicle, we had nuggets, burgers, fries, and Frosty's. The nuggets were crispy yet juicy, the sauce that was provided was just enough for dunking and enjoying. The frosty was great. It hit the spot on a hot, hot day. The burger was prepared properly not too messy and the fries were piping hot and tasty; just the right amount of salt. The food was worth the value spent, actually even with the recent increase in food prices, the monies spent on this dining experience was reasonable. It is what it is, no fault to Wendy's, it is a sign of the time, inflation, recession and all that jazz. There was not a long wait in the drive-through line. I saw lots of people coming and going so I know that this location is one that is frequented by customers and the order taking & processing is not a lengthy process like some other places. I found the staff to be accurate in their order taking, pushing out the order and friendly in nature.The parking lot was clean. Ample parking. I will definitely come back to this Wendy's again.”

“Title: Gattuso's: Where Food, Fun, and Fiascos Collide! Tucked away in the heart of Gretna, Louisiana, Gattuso's Neighborhood Restaurant, Bar & Catering is a culinary adventure with a side of hilarity. From the moment you step inside, you know you're in for a treat... and possibly a few unexpected laughs. Culinary Capers: Let's start with the food, because let's be real, that's why we're all here. Gattuso's serves up mouthwatering dishes that will make your taste buds do a happy dance. But here's the kicker: the portion sizes are so generous, you'll need a roadmap just to navigate your plate. Seriously, their "small" dishes could feed a small army, and we're not complaining. But it's not just the size that's impressive; it's the flavors that will have you singing praises. Their gumbo is so good, it could make a Cajun grandmother shed a tear of joy. And don't even get us started on the po'boys--they're so stuffed, you'll wonder if they accidentally mixed up your order with a Thanksgiving feast. Great food, great vibe and not too expensive!!!”

It might be cash only too (my friend treated me to lunch today). If any of that bothers you- GO SOME PLACE ELSE because the boiled everything on Thursdays is WORTH IT. Turkey necks, neck bones, pig feet, smoked sausage, corn & potatoes was what they had today- all served in a styrofoam go-box in case you can't finish. Slap-ya-momma good food here. Can't really find a menu posted anywhere- it's a word-of-mouth place. I went for lunch but it gets crowded at night.Parking: Parking lot on left side of building.

Empress Of China 429 Wall Blvd, Gretna Chinese • $

“My first time here; as soon as I walked in, I was in love with the place. I see too many of these little “take out only” Chinese restaurants that are lit by fluorescent lighting ? and when I walked inside Empress of China, I knew I loved it. It was not bright inside, and Chinese mysic played softly in the background. So, immediately 10/10 for the atmosphere.The service was outstanding! The server got to me quickly, very attentive, friendly, git everything right. The tables were all clean, and had a young man who took care of that immediately after the customers left and cleaned the table thoroughly.I ordered the Mandarin Chicken. This is my “comfort food” at any Chinese restaurant. For those who don’t know this dish, it is boneless chicken (breast meat or thigh meat), breaded and deep fried… laid out onto a bed of lettuce, topped with brown sauce, and served with fried rice and your choice of egg roll, two veg spring rolls, crab rangoon, or chu chu (I think that’s mirliton but I’m not sure).There was A LOT OF FOOD. They do not skimp on portions. Everything was great, except for the brown sauce. This one had cumin in it (I think it was cumin, it could have been another spice) and it really kind of ruined the flavor for me. I like cumin, but not really with that sauce. My only gripe… everything else was delicious, and next time I go I’ll get something else. I’m definitely going back, even though it is way out of the way for me.I took lots of pictures, check them out. The place is just really nice on the inside… how a Chinese restaurant is supposed to be. Very relaxing. ?”
