“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.”
“Unbelievable! Best omakase in the city. So generous and delicious. It's extremely well priced for omakase, we paid around $350 with many drinks for two, around 8-12 courses, all of which were spectacular. I don't like to leave a tasting menu with any room left in my stomach, and often I do... you will be well fed here”

“Was our first time trying this restaurant and we’ll definitely be back! Everything, from the mango lassi and papadam, to the curries and the rasmalai dessert was spectacular. Everything was hot and fresh. Really enjoyed the onion pakoras as an appetizer. Spice levels can be customized as well.
Special thanks to Arun for great service!”

“Ordered lunch special which is 3 courses for $19/person. Pick up was ready quickly. Food was packaged well and received a decent amount for the price. The Humus, rice, and bread were all very good. Wasn’t a fan of the beef/lamb kebob but that’s a matter of preference because my husband was. Had enough food for lunch and dinner!”
“Sherry, our waitress, was ebullient and efficient. At her suggestion, my wife tried the Rose Sangria for the first time, and said it was, by far, the best she had ever had. The chocolate Dream dessert was outstanding ! All the employees were most kind. We visited on August 28, 2026- Friday.”

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!”

“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!”

“Redfish was well seasoned fried crispy, fries (choice of one side), and the hush puppies for an appetizer. The hush puppies were delicious! Taste like they were made from scratch and not those frozen ready made ones. The meal was delicious 😋”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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.”
“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!”

“My wife and I went to Desi Vega’s Metairie location last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were seated immediately per our reservation. The restaurant was full but the service and the food were both top notch. Thanks to our server Paula and to the entire staff for making last night a very special occasion for both my wife and I. Although the restaurant was full we were treated like the only customers there. We will definitely be back again.”

“I'm hooked. One day I drove by and changed my usual to the Spicy Mango and I have been hooked every since. I few more dollars than the rest but it is sooooo good. What's really nice, Everyone Knows Your Name (LOL) and they know what I like and how I like it mixed. I've tried every daiquiri shop from west end and vets down to Williams and they are the best.,”
“Traveling Foodie here! My husband and I visited the O’Reillys and asked them a good place to eat in town and they sent us to Joe’s! We are from Texas and was driving back to Gonzales from taking an airboat tour and we were hungry!! Food was amazing. I had the shrimp and grits, my husband got the JoJo special and we shared the Joe’s swamp fries and we at every bike! The swamp fries we ordered the sauce on the side and the fish had such a good breading on it, and the food was fresh right out of the kitchen!! The sauce was AMAZING they sell it by the package to take it with you!! I plan to go back because we did not try any of the beignets or pastries, they all looked amazing though and will be trying them SOON! It will be worth the drive and the husband and wife that works there at the Metairie location where as sweet as can be! Very helpful, very friendly and made us feel welcomed and right at home! Service was excellent, we were well taken care of! Thank you again for the wonderful meal and experience!🍽😍”
“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.”
“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 think I've tried half the menu and they never disappoint, from the salads, shrimp wonton soup, dumplings, egg rolls, sliders and bubble tea, everything is always spectacular, super fresh and so flavorful. The staff is delightful and so welcoming as well. Don't walk run here!”
“It was my first time coming to this Cabo restaurant in Metairie and I could not be more pleased. The customer service was superior. Jasmine and Jahir treated us like family. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied, and I am quite a picky eater. We will be back and will spread the word.”
“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.”
“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!”

“The food was excellent and only spent an hour in the restaurant due to fast service. The food came out fast and was hot. Gregory was a very amazing server, constantly coming to check up on the table to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10”
“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!”
“Good food, good service always. I am a regular lunch time customer. My favorite Oscar's ladies are Christine (Friday), Casey (Wednesday and Thursdays) and Mauri(sp?) on Tuesdays. All very friendly and professional.”

“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!”

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!”

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 GM Monnie person is very unprofessional, disrespectful, towards her employees, also and with her other management team. She is a rude individual. She should be demoted. She does not deserve that position. She is not a fair, or considerate person. She treats certain employees and other management like trash. When those employees and other management people works their ass off for mcdonalds. I truly believe that she is unprofessional and mean to them because she is jealous, and she just don't like them.. I hope this Monnie person gets demoted from the management team, she should be a regular employee, Monnie is Not management material.. Please do something about her. Thank you”

“It was my first time coming to this Cabo restaurant in Metairie and I could not be more pleased. The customer service was superior. Jasmine and Jahir treated us like family. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied, and I am quite a picky eater. We will be back and will spread the word.”
“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.”
“This is a solid location! We loved our visit here. There is a large amount of seating, including a lovely covered patio option, and was not overly crowded, either.
The food was delicious, affordable as always, and didn’t take too long at all!! We will definitely be back if the opportunity arises!”
“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.”

“Tried the lamb shawarma, i just wish i didn’t eat so fast so I could’ve savored it longer. The experience is really nice, you’re able to build your own gyro or bowl it seems with the toppings you like and the selection of toppings are all incredibly good and taste fresh. the staff is really nice, the business itself is very clean. Definitely recommend, they earned the five stars for sure.”
“Came in to pick up a little birthday cake and was honestly so impressed. The freezer was fully stocked with so many options - everything you could need! I was greeted right when I walked in, and even though there was only one person working, they were incredibly kind and attentive the entire time.
I noticed there was also a Planet Smoothie connected, and the same employee was running both counters while still taking the time to give recommendations based on what I liked. I ended up getting the Dragon Fruit Lemon Splash smoothie and it was SO refreshing.
Of course, I couldn’t leave without ice cream too. They encouraged me to try every flavor I was interested in before deciding, which made the experience even better. At checkout, they also told me about the rewards program, and I got $5 off the cake!
They only opened about 4 months ago - definitely go check them out for both ice cream and smoothies. Truly something for everyone!”
“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).”
“Great place for date night, got the Barcar burger with truffle waffles fries. It was delicious! The server Michael was extremely attentive! He even ran out of the restaurant to bring me something I had forgotten at the table! Would come back and definitely recommend others to try too!”
“Would highly recommend. The food is excellent, and the staff is awesome. The pan fry noodles are delicious as well as the salt and pepper chicken wings. You know it has to be good if there are lots of people there during lunchtime and many of the tables are full. We came at nighttime one time and it was crowded on the weekend. The only drawback is the parking when it is busy and you can’t find a spot to park. Again, the food is great and that’s why it is crowded there.”
“We had a little snafu at our visit, our order went missing and we sat quite a while without getting our food. I get it, it happens, but I'm only human, I was aggravated, probably hangry honestly lol, we were just going to leave and eat elsewhere, I wasn't angry or ugly to anyone,I just wanted to leave. I asked for a refund and the manager handled my request with utmost professionalism, she still fed us and she most certainly did not have to. How we handle the tough stuff is what makes us and if this is how she handles unhappy people, she'll keep this location successful for sure. Thanks for a pleasant visit.”

“Was our first time trying this restaurant and we’ll definitely be back! Everything, from the mango lassi and papadam, to the curries and the rasmalai dessert was spectacular. Everything was hot and fresh. Really enjoyed the onion pakoras as an appetizer. Spice levels can be customized as well.
Special thanks to Arun for great service!”
