“My babies absolutely LOVE this donut shop! The atmosphere is ALWAYS great, the food is ALWAYS great, and I’ve never had to wait in a line. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A RUDE EMPLOYEE OR A SINGLE FLY IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT (I read other reviews that say these things and I needed to make it known that none of these things are true at all!)“
“We had an amazing experience there. It was our first time going and we happened to show up the night of the pop-up for chef Omar from Detroit. Not only was the food delicious, but the cause was even better. I have an immense amount of respect for any establishment that cares about human rights.“
“Mannn I'm not even from here. I saw this place and looked it up. I was a fan but had to see if it was as good as it sounded and looked. Twas better. Excellent quality top notch product and service. The amount of care and thought into everything plus the execution.. there just are no words.. if I could give more stars I would. If yall live in this area support this place and make sure they stay being able to provide this to the community. You'll thank me later. Taylor thanks for the great service and conversation. You guys are awesome. Keep on keeping on!“
“Had the most divine time and the staff was amazing. I got to know the owner's children who are amazing young men. They were very welcoming and informative about the history of the restaurant. Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.“
“Some places are famous for a reason. I wondered if it would be one of those places that are just famous and lost the integrity and survives on hype! But nope! Their beignet was light and fluffy and sweet happy little thing! I didn’t like the coffee but my partner loved it!“
“I love Lil Dizzy’s food! The gumbo is like no other. The crawfish bisque is absolutely amazing. The fried chicken is just like my grandma’s. OMG I can go on and on, the Mac and sweet potatoes, potato salad, and so much more! You have to experience this place for yourself.“
“Thanks to helpers, we came here for our very first stop. Yes, the ambiance is local and dive bar-like BUT man this place is the best. We came during their 10-2 daily drink specials ranging from $3-$5.. I enjoyed the Bloody Mary, the Screw Driver and some generously poured shots. The wife over indulged in their famous Ftozen Irish Coffee drinks ($3). For an extra $6, the really friendly bar server will pour you a generous shot. We snagged a bar seat and sat here for a few hours. It's the place to be and yes, it's an Irish bar.“
“We love NOLA. Visit couple times a year but usually don't get a chance to go far from the Quarter. We had an opportunity to visit this place when a friend, who is a local, brought us, his suggestion. I'm so glad he did. Food was amazing. Great little bar with fun vibe.“
“My wife and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Morning Call Coffee Stand in New Orleans, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with the tantalizing aroma of freshly made beignets and café au lait.The service was lightning-fast, and despite being a cash-only establishment, we were in and out in no time. The staff members were not only efficient but also had a great sense of humor, adding a playful touch to our morning routine.As for the food, it was simply divine. The beignets were light, fluffy, and dusted with just the right amount of powdered sugar, while the café au lait was rich and creamy, the perfect complement to the sweet treats.Overall, Morning Call Coffee Stand provided us with a memorable breakfast experience that perfectly encapsulated the charm and flavor of New Orleans. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a visit.“
“I have been sending people to Bar Tonique for close to a year from my position as liquor vault manager at the Sazerac House. So many return to tell me what a great experience they had & to thank me for recommending it. I have left the position at Sazerac House & won't be sending any more from there, Good luck to all the craftsmen & women behind this truly wonderful place!“
“If you’re in New Orleans and craving a classic Southern brunch, you can’t go wrong with the smothered shrimp and grits at Porche Cafe. Their dish is a delightful symphony of flavors, featuring succulent Gulf shrimp atop creamy, stone-ground grits. It’s a dish that truly embodies the spirit of New Orleans cuisine—comforting, rich, and utterly delicious. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Porche Cafe's shrimp and grits are a must-try for an authentic taste of the city's culinary heritage. .“
“When you're in New Orleans, be sure to hit up the person behind the front desk at your hotel at least once after check-in and before check-out to ask what the best place to grab a snowball (Sno-ball? Up in the air...) is. And if you're lucky, there will be two people behind the front desk, so they can have a fierce debate about it. My decision was made after hearing that Hansen's gave you a souvenir cup with your sno-ball. It was 90+ degrees the entire time we were in NOLA. Without taking the humidity into consideration. So it came as no surprise that the first thing our Uber driver said to us was "Hansen's? I could really use a sno-ball today too!" (We invited her to join us but she declined because of the sugar content. Which... fair.) Plan and time your visit well. Hansen's is a little out of the way and is guaranteed to have a line. I found myself awkwardly craning my neck at times to catch the shade. It's a tiny mom-and-pop place (it's been in the Hansen family for three generations) and the fans inside won't do much to cool you down until you take your first bite of a sno-ball. It tastes nothing like shaved ice. The texture is softer -- truly snowlike. I got satsuma (a tart citrusy flavor that you'll find on the menu of many NOLA institutions, whether edible or in candle form) and cream of earl grey. I could barely taste the earl grey, so I think I should've gotten another flavor, but the satsuma was heavenly.“
“This is one of the best lunch cafes I have ever been to! I am a vegetarian and sandwich options are always so limited anywhere else. So many options I had a hard time deciding. Even if you’re not vegetarian you should check this place out!!“
“The best breakfast spot that I found while visiting New Orleans......I visited Two Chicks Cafe kn my birthday and omg the barbecue shrimp and grits were amazing and let's not forget about their French toast and Ashley was so sweet and kind.“
“Might be the best brewery in Nola. Very imaginative (and delicious) beers, with no fear about mixing things up a bit. Their pours tend toward exacting flavors, well presented, with no fluff, as you would expect from someone that knows exactly what they are doing.“
“We went yesterday and the wait was 2 hours. Got there a little earlier today and we got in. I’ve eaten at the Uptown location and was so happy they opened up another one that’s closer. It was my daughter’s first time and she said the food is so good and understands why there is a wait.“
“I was a bit disappointed that the juices weren't freshly made on the spot. But the Root and Fruit was very tasty. I like to juice at home so I can get the pulp, no pulp with their juices. The younh woman at the register was very kind and knowledgeable. I see some people complain about the prices. To them I say, have you been in the grocery stores these days and seeing the price of veg and fruit?“
“My husband and I came down from Boston for a long weekend in New Orleans and this is definitely worth a stop! We had a tour of the distillery with Alyson and she was very knowledgeable, funny and witty. We tore a lot of distilleries and wineries and breweries, and they had an excellent and very high-quality selection of bourbon available. They also offered some unique vodkas. You can't really go wrong here at all. After our tour, we ordered some drinks at the bar while we were purchasing some bottles to take home, and the bartender made some excellent recommendations of signature cocktails on their menu. Very good experience and highly recommend“
“Great Irish pub. Friendly atmosphere, super nice staff, and a good place to watch a match. Opens early for Saturday/Sunday's premier league. But if you want to watch any other particular game, you can always ask the bar staff if they can put it on one of the 10 tv's. They also have two tv's outside.“
“Fantastic. Hidden gem.Don't shy away from this place because it's tucked away in a food court, in fact go there for this reason. It has tons of seating, including a balcony. The perfect place to get an amazing sandwich away from the crowds.Tried the curry chicken salad sandwich and the French dip, highly recommend both.“
“Recently indulged in the hot salmon breakfast bagel at Flour Moon Bagel, and it was a delightful experience! The flavors were on point, and I especially enjoyed pairing it with the Sirius Raising alcoholic drink. The combination elevated my brunch to another level. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere added to the positive vibes. Definitely recommend trying this spot!“
“Wow. That is my immediate take away. I just devoured the best savory scone I have ever tasted. It was so incredible that after I finished it I wanted to call them to tell them. I stopped in for my first time this morning after reading about Levee and living close by. Service, staff, and atmosphere were fantastic but that scone .... Just Wow.“
“Went here once with my dad, have been asking him to take us again. Very nice atmosphere and our drinks arrived fairly quickly. I ordered a hot chocolate and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had, it was very authentic tasting and rich in flavor. Would def reccomend.Kid-friendliness: I can tell you it is pretty kid friendly, they let me have a nice big sticker of their logo for free.“
“Go to the Rusty Nail for exceptional bourbons, knowledgeable, friendly staff, great prices & excellent service... it's well worth would it takes to find it. Also they have a 25% off whiskey Wednesdays!!! Wife and I happened to get there b4 opening on Wednesday. One of the staff ladies took us around inside to show us what Bourbons they had available. Treated us very very kindly...!!! Went back later after a terrible experience at Barrel proof and we just sat there for about 2 hours and enjoyed ourselves. When we get back to New Orleans we'll be back!!“
“My husband and I went to Saba for brunch after multiple recommendations from friends and strangers. Wow… it was absolutely delicious. Some of our favorites were the variety of sodas, crab hummus, eggplant dip and fried chicken. I can’t wait to come back for the pancakes!Our waitress (I wish I remember her name … she had pink hair) was incredibly kind. So thank you to her for the hospitality and other suggestions while we are in town. We will be back!“
“Veteran run business. Has beer. Beer good. Come here. Outside patio with tvs. There are businesses next to it with food that only serve until around noon but has a food truck that comes around 5. They don't serve food here aside from chips or whatever snacks they be peddling. Great place. Founder himself served us beer and was a lot of fun to talk with.“
“First time dining at Burbon Heat. We sat outside and it was perfect. Try the Bang Bang Shrimp! Just do it. I had chicken and sausage Gumbo with red beans and rice and a boudin egg roll. I didn't care to much for the red beans. It was a flavor issue. The Gumbo and the boudin egg roll stole the show. My friend had the same dish as myself but she had the fried fish. Omg when I tell you it was seasoned and fried to absolute perfection. I will definitely be stopping in on my next trip to NO.“
“The staff is absolutely fanatic!! We wondered in on Friday afternoon and were welcomed with smiles. The owner was very attentive and quickly started a conversation with my Irish husband. He volunteered to play the Six Nations Rugby game that was to air and Saturday. So we returned Saturday, and got to watch the game while on vacation!!“
“Chill atmosphere, great architecture concept and intimate seating arrangement. GREAT FOOD!!! The Beignets were so good ..light crunchy outside , soft & fluffy inside almost melting in your mouth ? , so yummy??.. the Breakfast Sandwich with the croissant was absolutely delicious! Top it all off with a Mimosa ?? The pecan pie was equally delicious!“
“I don’t know where to start but maybe with the meticulous approach to everything from prep to plating. Every dish was immaculate. The vibe was blessedly chill. Our server Catherine (who I sensed handles greater responsibilities) was cordial and informative, including her wine selections. We went with classics tonight: ceviche, mofongo, arepas, ropa vieja, and everything was perfect. I love this place so much.“

“Best beignets ever! You also can't go wrong with their other delicious desserts. This was recommended by locals and now I see why. We are always bringing some home everytime. Light and flaky, not thick. The Rampart location has more selection, but you can grab your favorites in the French Market“
“Effervescence is a little off the beaten path but is worth the journey. They have an excellent selection of bubbly by the glass, it's not only Champagne but from all around the world. The brussels sprouts were some of the best I've eaten but the food in general was very good. The owner is very friendly, highly recommend making this part of your New Orleans food experience!“
“Love this place! Ive been coming to them for years. My reasoning for the 4/5 stars is because post-Covid I’ve noticed a significant decrease in size of the sandwiches but they have stayed at the same price point. It used to be easy to share the sandwiches now its more of a single serving. Still outstanding food and service regardless!“
“Decent hotel bar with a really nice view of the river. They have some interesting cocktails on the menu, and it was a good spot for an afternoon drink. We tried the Sassy Au Pere and Boheme Bongo cocktails; both were well made and reasonably priced at $16 each.The entrance is inside the mall and up an elevator. Because it's connected to the mall, there is also a parkade with lots of parking available.“
“We noticed this little spot on our way to brunch and made a note to stop by on the way back. The atmosphere is laid back and inviting. This is a wonderful family run establishment that we will continue to visit until we die. I highly recommend the Red Lemonade but everything was delicious!“
“Really cool outdoor space with good food, great for groups and vibey dates. If you want to eat outside, this is a top choice. You order at the window so the service is real quick and easy. Ordered a few tacos, the queso, and a bowl. So the tacos were ok, no real complaints. But the bowl is where it’s at. Beans and rice and guacamole and choice of protein and you can add broccoli and mushrooms. Great meal, really filling and delicious. The queso was unique, I added the chili and it came with pomegranate so it was a mixture of spice and sweet. Also, don’t sleep on the frozen mango margarita. Delish. This’ll be the happening spot as the weather warms up!“
“Sliced brisket was a massive portion. Very tasty with tender meat and a Smokey charred crust. Paired great with the sweet bbq sauce. I also loved the Mac and cheese side. I think the side was unlimited because the server asked if I wanted a refill. I would have if I wasn’t so full!“
“The most delicious ice-cream anywhere around. We routinely order the Cookie Monster (aka cookies n cream) and couldn't be happier. What makes the Rahm Haus Cookie Monster extra cool is that it's colored blue and the blue color doesn't come from food coloring, but rather "blue spirulina phycocyanin" which is a type of blue algae. The flavor has a generous amount of cookie in it and is creamy, both of which I appreciate. The service is great too. The woman who waited on us was extremely professional, informative and otherwise friendly. The ambiance is charming. It's located in the Merchant House and the vibe is that of a trendy outside bar. We love it.“
“The restaurant is a hidden gem. The breakfast and amotsphere are amazing. The wait staff; Cherrybomb, Diesel and Unicorn make you feel at home and have excellent energy. We stumbled upon the restaurant and plan to return before ending our trip!“
“Best place for breakfast! Visited on multiple days of our trip. Delicious, homemade from scratch, creative and healthy options. The Interior decor is bright, uplifting and happy. Love the very comfortable green chairs. (not your standard wobbly wood seating). The service is outstanding: efficient and friendly.“
“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!“
“WE LOVE UNDERGROWTH COFFEE!They have the best breakfast burritos from California to Louisiana .I am a burrito connoisseur. I have a Hispanic background and I spend way too much money on eating out and have travelled the world.Originally from Southern California and work for a Texas based company, I have had plenty of burritos and none compare to the perfect combination of rosemary potatoes, smoky flavored bacon, savory eggs, sharp white cheddar all wrapped in an herb tortilla. Seriously, I have ordered $100 worth of these burritos at a time so that I can have them multiple days in a row. My girlfriend and I love them and the staff there is wonderful and always accommodating.CZ“
“Service was friendly professional and prompt. while food was exceptional, the presentationFor the chicken and waffles was subpar at best. It looked like my 16 year old prepared it. The waffleWas crispy and light though. The ambience was very crowded with minimal spaceFrom the neighboring tables. Would return for the gumbo“
“Tried this place on my trip to New Orleans. We started off with Turkish Coffee, Hummus and Veggie Grape Leaves. For mains, I had Falafel Sandwich. Food was delicious.The server was super polite and attentive. The ambiance was decent.I would definitely recommend this place! Must try!“
“My husband and I stumbled upon this place after a long walk visiting NOLA. The BBQ burger was THE BEST burger my husband and I have ever had. We requested crispy bacon, and the cook absolutely delivered. The portions were very generous. The Tchoup sauce and pepper jelly were outstanding! I highly recommend the dark amber beer to go with it. If we lived closer, we'd come here often! Thanks for making our day so great and special, Urban South!“
“Jesse and Ciara are absolutely amazing. Totally knowledgeable about their craft, and overwhelmingly passionate about their products.Even during mardi gras- the busiest time of the year in this city- my guest and I felt wholly prioritized.You drink here NOW!“
“Even though my mom and I are not "locals," we felt very welcomed and comfortable. The baristas are friendly and engaging. The coffee and specialty beverages are creative and delicious. We will certainly visit again when we're in New Orleans!“
“Stopped here because the name included rum. And both the rum house and Axel did not disappoint. Quickly seated, and Axel right there to take our order. The tuna ceviche was delicious. We also partook in the spicy rum flight, bartenders choice. And had some tacos with fried plantains. All fresh, all good. Nice atmosphere, fun vibe, solid service. Not bad for picking because of the name of restaurant.Kid-friendliness: We don’t have kids but saw kids here so must be kid friendly“
“The owner Chris is a genuine bartending guru and has trained some of the best bartenders around the country. Revel is worth it for the drinks alone but the food is excellent. Small menu but everything is done just right. Great deviled eggs, burger, salad. This is secret diamond in the rough.“
“Our weekly dinner krewe met here for dinner and everyone raved about the food! We have a diverse group, with some more picky than others, and no one complained...only compliments! The portions were substantial, the food was delicious and the service was incredible! We will definitely return in the near future!!!“
