“Out-of-towner here… If you’re looking for a place to hang out and wait for your flight and you only want to pay $1.50 for a bottle of beer and are nostalgic for ashtrays on the bar… this is your place. Friendly service and regulars were accepting to this stranger.“

“Everyone has heard the phrase… “Do not judge a book by its cover. Well, I almost did. When you go to Tavern on Vets, the outside makes you a little skeptical. Windows blacked out, not sure which door to use. You walk in and it is kind of dark. But, then you sit down. You then see, etched in the mirror, “A Loser Friendly Atmosphere”. I could not help but laugh. The service was fantastic. The bartender was friendly like someone you knew your whole life. The food, oh man the food. For a small bar kitchen, the food was cooked with such flavor and presentation. Now, there was one small error made on my wife’s wrap but it was quickly taken care of without complaint. We are only here for the week, we just might go back and read that book again.“
“Is even awesome people awesome locals even when people are out of town. This is the best place to come and relax they have bands on Saturdays and karaoke smoking is allowed but that doesn’t quite bother me. The drinks are fair price and the staff is very friendly. They have some cute girls working over there “

“Came in out of town from Missouri and met up with my sister and dad from Texas. Our server T was amazing. We came in late on a Saturday and he was able to handle our rowdy crowd of 7 people. The food was fresh and in abundance. We ordered a few boils and Po'boy sandwhiches. Will definitely return and recommend this location.“

“Order food but was told after sitting for over 30 minutes that it got lost in the kitchen...smh...asked for my check and told them forget. The manager came over and was very nice. He fixed the issue and we received our food in a timely matter. The person waiting on us was new and the manager took full responsibility. The waiter was nice, but I could tell he was new. After that I provided grace to the new employee and still gave him a decent tip. Thanks
again for making an unhappy customer a happy customer. The the owner that answered me. I didn't have my receipt. The issues was taken care of. Thank you for caring.“

“Five Stars Isn’t Enough!
After an incredible weekend in New Orleans, I found myself with a few hours to spare before my flight. With luggage in tow and my work computer in hand, I stopped into Tavern on Citrus—and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend the day.
What was meant to be a quick stop turned into a six-hour visit (thanks to a delayed flight), and honestly, I was grateful for the extra time. From the moment I walked in, I was met with an unbelievable level of hospitality and warmth. It felt less like I was dining in a restaurant and more like someone had called ahead to say, “Make room—we’ve got a guest who belongs here.”
The food? Absolutely delicious. The service? Impeccable. Every person I interacted with went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I even had the chance to enjoy some great conversation with the staff while getting a bit of work done.
They kindly let me charge my electronics, and I left feeling full, refreshed, and truly cared for. But the real test of character came when I accidentally left my work laptop behind—something incredibly valuable to both me and my organization. By the time I realized it, I was halfway to the airport. I called in a panic, and not only did they have it safely behind the counter with a note and my name on it (they had pulled my info from my card to make sure it got back to the right person), but the owner personally ran out to hand it off to my Uber driver curbside so I wouldn’t miss my flight.
As someone who has worked in recruiting for the hospitality industry, I’ve always said: you can teach someone the policies, the systems, the menu—but you can’t teach someone how to genuinely care. That’s what true hospitality is, and Tavern on Citrus has it in abundance.
I left not only with a full belly, but with the kind of impression that lasts. I genuinely felt sad to leave, and now this spot is permanently on my must-visit list every time I’m in New Orleans. If you’re looking for amazing food, authentic service, and a reminder of what hospitality really means—this is your place.“
