“The Friday special was Trout alondine that had no almonds. The waiter brought out some raw almond slices to make it right. He tried. The fish was fresh, however. They also have a housefly problem.”

“Eaten at most sushi restaurants in NOLA the past 40 years. This was an experience unlike any other. It will transport you to Japan. You quickly realize you've been eating mediocre sushi your whole life up until this point. The price might seem high...it isn't. Truly an experience.”
“Hands down one of the best places my wife and I ate at in a long time. Well worth the ride from Marrero. We both got the breakfast burritos, grits, potatoes and an order of duck and sweet potato hash. The atmosphere, people staff and location is off the charts. We will definitely be back!!”

“Great environment! Holly was super! she was professional, kind, knowledgeable and great in positive spirit. Holly enhanced the atmosphere that was already serene to heavenly! Our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend Brasa and Holly to the world!”
“Fantastic food. Ordered the pupusas, the costilla de res asada, and an order of flan. Everything was delicious. I've had good flan and I've had bad flan in my life, but for me, this was the best I've ever had. Will definitely go back. And with everything going on right now, I hope a lot of people show up and support them!”
“I loved the food 😍 super clean place! Whoever keeps this place spotless must be someone very organized and detail-oriented 👏✨ The customer service was amazing, no bad odors at all, the patio is beautiful 🌸 the flowers and garden make everything feel so welcoming. Everyone was smiling 😊 I truly admire people who make the effort to speak two languages when it’s not even their first language ❤️ We love our Latinos 🌎💃 I’ll definitely be coming back soon! 🙌”
“Perfection= from the cozy and fun vibe, to the warm bread/butter, to the wine selection, artichoke appetizer, classic fettuccine alfredo, top notch bartenders/wait staff and Tony, taking time to welcome each customer. I visited two nights in a row and will return every NOLA trip! Thank you Vincent's team!”
“Everything we ordered was great! We had no idea what to expect from the name and appearance of the restaurant. The croquettes, crab bisque, chicken cordon Bleu, and the gnocchi were all amazing! it might have been the best meal I've had all year. Hopefully my next visit doesn't disappoint. It is a little pricey but the ingredients are quality you can taste.”

“I went this morning to eat at the toc & let me just tell yall how good the chicken fried steak and eggs are. So good. Don’t miss out on the toc yall. The service was super fast and they are good people. The food was excellent. Everyone is really friendly too. Don’t sleep on this place.”
“I like the place i think it's great, I particularly liked the two alternative looking bartenders ? lol, but the guy bartender I met was pretty chill to. I'd definitely recommend pair of dice to people looking for a calm but a little unpredictable bar to just chill at ?”
“All the Ladies that worked there this morning deserve a standing ovation!! They were spot on in Service and the food! And I asked the our server how to get a coffee cup, she said she did t know but would ask, another lady came over and set one down at our table! Thank you so much!”
“One of them dive bars. But probably one of the better ones, in Metairie. It has a unique frequency! Unable to see through the blurriness. Try sitting and, just, existing. It will come into focus when you are ready. The knowledgeable staff are skilled mixologist, Daniel is one of the is Greats! Ask him for a baby beer and hold the milk. Wink wink. SIN night is Monday night. So when your bar closes and you ready for a drink, come to Colby's they're still. No bad vibes or Time out you get.”
“The place was very crowded and there weren’t enough waiters, which made the whole experience feel a bit chaotic and the wait for the food quite long. Service felt slow because of that. I ordered eggs and pancakes — they were fine, but nothing particularly special, so I didn’t even feel the need to take a photo. Overall, an okay experience, but it could definitely be improved with better staffing.”
“Tonight was our third trip to Fausto’s and our third great experience. All three of us had veal dishes and split a Caesar salad. Everything was great. We highly recommend Fausto’s.”
“Was told about this place stopped in to check it out and so glad we did! Great place & very good food! if ever in the area highly recommended!!!”
“What a wonderful experience. The food was amazing (my recommendation will always be the wraps). They have amazing service as well, always being accommodating and are very friendly, making the experience feel less like you're buying from a stranger and more like a friend. The atmosphere? Well, I'd say its fantastic as well. You can definitely see the Turkish culture flowing throughout the restaurant, with nice decor surrounding the restaurant, embodying an experience you wouldn't get from your typical restaurant. I'd highly recommend this place!”

“Mikaela was an awesome server! She had amazing energy, was so knowledgeable about the menu, and most importantly had the food and drinks orders correct and on time! 10 out of 10 RECOMMEND, Coming back again!! 🤗❤️”
“This snowball stand is the best around. They have the softest ice, with the best flavors to go along with it! They have some unique flavors that no other stands have. Like their creamy flavor Tres Leches, that taste like a mixture of orchata mixed with condensed milk. It’s def my go-to favor! & you get a lot for your money at this snow ball stand!”
“All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! Hands down one of if not the best BBQ place I have ate at. I got the lg rib plate with the add on chicken wings and my husband got the 1/2 chicken and we shared to try it all and man when I say it was amazing it was amazing. The sweet potato casserole was so good. The green beans where just alright but the corn, macaroni and cheese and the baked beans were really and did I say really good. Thanks for not disappointing us we drove two hours to get there and will 100% be back sooner rather than later.”
“Absolutely immaculate experience. The Voodoo Crawfish rolls are amazing and the stuffed catfish is to die for!! Do not miss out!! I am truly Blown away and will be thinking about this meal for weeks!!!!”
“Food and Service...Excellent!!!! I have a new "Go To" for lunch/dinner.”

“We ordered the roast beef poboy, the meatball poboy, and the potato soup from DoorDash, for lunch. It was so good that since I'm not feeling good, we're ordering there again for dinner. We never do that. And what restaurant has a candy menu? Incredibly unique and delicious!”
“First hands down shortstop is #1 in po-boys i guarantee it beings that it's the longest place I've eaten my po-boys beings my grandparents lived i grew up 4809 Eagle st one block over I remember my mom and Dem sending me there to make groceries before they were a football shot they were a grocery store they did sandwiches in the back are on the side but then they went to all po-boys can't say I blame them best in the city and surrounding area they're good in quality quantity hospitality and service but let me just say this the people in there are sweet and kind is going to be and most respectful give them the utmost please and yes sometimes you'll catch one who may have a slight attitude but just know there's nothing towards you and it's nothing personal 2 minutes later they'll be the sweetest soul there is you got to understand that human too yeah but that's very rare short stop is apart of the city I don't know how my life would have been without them seriously there not just a restaurant they treat you like family especially if you are a regular and always come in there oh and I say this for me and most of everybody I know that goes there this is for the tourist and those who have never really been there you can not have a shortstop poor boy without a barques root beer I guarantee you and da family will pass a good time oh and yes I wanted to add it is a very family orientated and family environment again with all due respect is mind your manners and you will fall In love enjoy chef Mac”

“I can't begin to thank Courtney and Shania enough for making my birthday dinner special! Courtney shared the Lenten Special with us including the change of crawfish instead of crabmeat; it was delicious! All of the wait staff were polite, attentive and very friendly! Please share this review of appreciation with Courtney & Shania, my husband and I will definitely be back and hope to get seated in their section!!”
“Experience wise our steaks was overcooked. I didn’t say anything cause the appetizer was fantastic. This was my son first time at a fine dining restaurant and he is 9. Our server Raymond made him feel like a king. My thing at a restaurant if you make my son happy I’m super happy. I have had Raymond before for my bday and he didn’t disappoint. When I tell you his service made me not care bout my steak. I’m also a waiter so to see another waiter handle himself the way he did i was super impressed. Sometimes it’s the small stuff that uplifts the experience. I recommend Raymond. Please make sure he sees this review cause when we come back with my son it’s only you I’ll want to wait on us. FYI my son chose your tip. I usually tip 20 to 22% he said your deserved more.”
“Great service and great food, I’ve eaten here several times now and I love the experience. Whether I’m sitting at the bar getting a burger and a bourbon or getting dinner and wine it’s always a great experience!”
“This is a quaint cozy space with outstanding food. It’s definitely not the place that you’re going to for your selfies and tik tok videos or whatever the next/last trendy photo spot is. The service and staff were friendly and approachable. The food was blissful. It was so good we forgot to take pictures before we devoured it all. The hand roll special was delectable and well priced for the quality and ingredients. The only thing I could have done with out was the spicy mayo in it bc it takes away from the flavors of the fish a little.
The food came out super quick and the quality was delectable.”

“Y’all HAVE to check out Joe's Cafe on North Causeway! I went on a Friday morning and the cook, Candis, made the most amazing omelet I’ve ever had ,!!!!! you can literally taste the love in every bite. I didn’t even know her name at first, but it was so good I had to ask around!
Everyone there is super friendly, but Candis… OMG!!! Definitely worth the visit!”
“We wanted to try something new for dessert and found this place while driving down Severn. After reading over the menu option — there is a wide variety of sweet & savory items — we settled on a dark chocolate milk shake and crème brûlée crepe with strawberries. Absolutely amazing! We did not expect it to be as delicious as it was and now we can’t wait to come back for another sweet crepe. Definitely recommend giving this a try if you haven’t already.”
“When we want a good burger, we go to Oscars! Great burgers and baked potato or sweet potato and a cold beer for a great dinner! Service Is great the ladies that work there are very friendly and the atmosphere is interesting, especially if you like Marilyn Monroe! Kind of a neighborhood bar so don’t expect the greatest atmosphere but it’s a fun place to have a burger.”
“Great spot, one of my absolute favorites in NOLA. Meghan is incredible and always takes good care of my group when I’m in! I also went for the first time on a Friday afternoon recently and found out that they make a special lemon garlic butter that they put on steaks and stuff, only available on Fridays. I ordered a tuna steak and they put that on there, oh my. Will definitely be back for lunch next time I’m in town.”
“I went to this small place but quite place with my Boa. We ordered fried fish poboy and veterinarian pho. The food was fantastic 😋. The servers kind and very helpful. We enjoyed the atmosphere. I diffinately recommend this place. I'm vegan and my phone was made with mushroom broth. Chefs kiss.💋 thanks rolls and bowls...”
“First visit we were warmly greeted and made to feel like old friends. The hostesses and wait staff are fantastic and the food is second to none. We told them we'd be back and we returned twice more over four days in the area.”
“Crabcake appetizer was delicious . Ribs were excellent! atmosphere and service was fabulous! Hadn’t been in about a year. Will go back in the near future, highly recommend.😋🙌🏻🥂”
“food was amazing and our waitress was extremely helpful. 10/10 will definitely be back”
“New Orleans is nortorius for not separating checks. I find this very inconvenient to the customer especially when you have party larger than two. Then it's very embarrassing to see customers passing the hat to pay for their portion of the meal with cash trying to figure out tax and tip. Everywhere I've been, there is no problem separating checks. I've been to New Orleans and requested separate checks and the waiters seem confused and then it becomes a huge delay. It's sad this restuarant has good food and atmosphere with this type of service and doesn't make it easy for customers to do business with them. They make easy for themselves but not for the customers. Go figure”
“The food is always delicious and the staff is professional, very friendly, and always accommodating. I highly recommend checking them out — you won’t be disappointed!”
“My first time there. I liked the food. I will definitely be going back again. My new spot. 😋”

I visited two nights in a row and will return every NOLA trip! Thank you Vincent's team!”
“The most kind and attentive staff! We called ahead to see if it was hard to get a table of six and they told us it was not and to come on in. We showed up an hour later and they saved us a table. The food was authentic, fresh, hot and delicious. Our table had the lasagne, spaghetti and meatballs, Mr Ed’s special poboy and the stuffed seafood bell pepper. This was the most amazing food we’ve ever had. The hospitality was unmatched. Absolutely perfect! Come here for a good time, great food and exceptional service. Catherine was the most precious person and we wanted to take her to the Taylor Swift with us!”
“Wonderful service, delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. Nyla was so sweet and accommodating. Mr. JB was very nice and took the time to walk around and speak with patrons, ensuring their experience was great, which it was! Thank you again!”
“Great environment! Holly was super! she was professional, kind, knowledgeable and great in positive spirit. Holly enhanced the atmosphere that was already serene to heavenly! Our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend Brasa and Holly to the world!”
“Never had a bad experience at the spotlight. In fact the very first time I went in for lunch the server made a lasting impression on me with her hospitality skills and judging service to all. She continues to uphold her high standards of customer service. As recently as the past Monday, their red beans and rice lunch was flawless and delicious. Keep up the great work Kelly w/ a y!!”

“Fury's Restaurant earns every inch of its 5-star rating, especially when it comes to their fried seafood. Each crispy, golden bite is a testament to perfection. From the flaky, succulent fish to the plump, juicy shrimp, every piece is flawlessly fried to golden perfection. The seafood is fresh, the batter is light yet flavorful, and each dish is a savory symphony that celebrates New Orleans' coastal flavors. Paired with their welcoming ambiance and top-notch service, Fury's fried seafood is a culinary journey you won't soon forget. A definite must-visit for seafood enthusiasts!”

And the honey bbq wings were delicious! Will definitely be back and it was great to see management presence. Marc stopped by our table a few times. Highly recommend!”
“Everything we had in our to-go (pick-up) order on New Year's Eve was delicious. Especially good were the Channa Masala, Bhindi Gosht, and Saag Paneer. The items we ordered to be prepared spicy were perfect. The service was friendly and prompt.”
“Great food! Spicy tuna crispy rice is amazing. Really can’t go wrong with anything at this place. Great service and most def make sure you sit your booty upstairs with the great view and retractable roof.”

“Chef Trevor is the kindest! The sushi is Amazing! I recently visited The restaurant for dinner after a long day of school my grandkids. And work myself. We were told by the hostess that there was an hour wait and that there was barely anywhere to sit so she advises that we could sit at the bar which we did the sushi bar that is. After waiting for some time Chef Trevor noticed that we were not being really engaged. He then asked me if the kids and I would like something to drink so what you said yes the hostess one of the waiters chef Trevor’s prompting, served us drinks as well as kept our cups filled Thank you! we were very grateful for the kindness that was bestowed upon us. The Hostess. After advising of the long wait, didn’t offer a drink of water nothing. Never engaged, never updated nothing. It was busy so I didn’t panic. We just waited.

“The crabmeat au gratin was awesome. I was really craving this dish but was a bit nervous ordering because a review said something about no crab but lots of shrimp in their dish and posted a poor review. Well, they do have a shrimp and crabmeat au gratin but I ordered the crabmeat au gratin (no shrimp). I can't tell you how wonderful and was absolutely full of crabmeat. Loved it!”

“The app is provided to save customers time. I can order and pick up with reduced wait time. However this location does not allow ordering through the app. They have enough business. I don’t feel the purpose of the app is to increase business. It is to save customers time and provide a convenience. So either allow it or don’t have it.”
“I brought my son to the Metairie LA store today at approximately 7:30pm. This is the first time I had an awful experience. I could not even eat my food. I ordered a burger xtra lettuce xtra MOOYAH sauce grilled onions no pickles wheat bun. A family in front of me placed their to dine in and were given a number. A young lady fixed their food with gloves on her hands and brought it to the family and she takes the number from them with the SAME gloves on her hands and proceeds behind the counter to fix the next order. Sliding her gloved hands along the counter. She goes to the grill to work on the next order. She slides the patty off of the spatula on to the bun with the SAME gloved hands. She then puts the fries in the bag but a handful fell on the counter. She picks the fries up off the counter with the SAME gloved hands and puts them in the bag. Calls my name to tell me that my order is ready. I tell her that I do not want it please make my order over. I take it to go when I get home the order is completely wrong!!! I’m so hungry but upset!!! I’ll be calling them tomorrow.”
“We live in Alabama and came to New Orleans for the weekend to see family. Hands down the best pizza we’ve ever had!!!! Super cheesy, not too greasy, cooked just right! Our waitress was so sweet and talked with our 4 year old, I wish I would have gotten her name, she left half way through us being there and the waiter that took over was just as sweet! I told him I need them to come open a store in lower Alabama and if not imma have to make the 4-5 hour drive once a month just for the pizza😂”

“My husband and I stopped here tonight to have dinner on our way out of town. The restaurant was clean, the employees were pleasant, and the food was delicious. Between the two of us, we ordered: the lobster roll poboy with garlic butter, the hibachi fried rice bowl with chicken, and the crab rangoons. Each dish was delightfully fresh and hit the spot. Highly recommend!”
“So many wonderfully delicious treats 😋 Red velvet cookies & cake pops, sugar cookies, strawberry shortcake, zebra cakes. My teenage daughter says that these actually taste “real”, never dry or “basic”. I especially love the option to buy frozen cookie dough, biscuits and cinnamon rolls (when available).”
“A Variety of characters, young and older alike, who simply have a good time. On certain nights, there is Karaoke 🎤, which is always a fun time and FREE entertainment!!! Friends of mine own the establishment and it’s always good to see them!!! Like Toby Keith would sing, “ I Love This Bar, It’s My Kind of Place!!!””
“Yesterday was my first time trying Chicken Salad Chick. Such a unique concept for a drive thru but even more impressive was the time the employee took to check all my choices to make sure they did not contain gluten. He went above and beyond and deserves a shout out. I didn’t cath his name but great job!!!”

“This place is absolutely amazing and a great hidden gem. The food is astonishing and the prices are so good for the amount of food you get. The staff is lovely and attentive! I will most certainly be back!”
