“Excellent customer service! Excellent food! We ordered to-go & picked up for a large family gathering. Lots of food preferences & dietary restrictions and Zea was the perfect answer. Seafood was fresh and well seasoned. Vegetables were perfectly prepared as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Lundigras day . They were getting slammed but were polite and honest about wait times for food . I had a beer and the wait time was only 45 minutes. No quality decline on the roast beef bo boy in spite of the crowd. Onion rings a must. Old school establishment where everyone knows each other. Priceless. Glenn“
“I finally decided to stop in and try the food here. The sign out front made me curious. What exactly is eggplant gravy? Smoking area in a covered area in front of the bar. This is exactly the kind of place I would frequent when I was drinking. A kind of hole in the wall place with working class clientele. I didn't work up the nerve to ask about the eggplant gravy. I did order the bacon cheeseburger, fully dressed and fries. It was pretty darn good. Friendly employees. There are gambling machines, a dartboard, one of those claw machines, a shuffleboard. There were several televisions on and all playing different sports balls games. The parking lot is kind of tricky. If you park in front, the only way out is via Causeway just south of Veterans where the traffic is all together to filter back on Causeway, or the service road and I-10. So be aware of your surroundings.“
“Not a drinker, but I came here bc of a recommendation for another local business to try their burgers. Got their regular cheeseburger and some fries. The hamburger was seasoned to perfection and the fries are just the right crinkle fries. Not too soft and not hard. The employees were very nice and got my order out quick. I did see a bunch of people that came for drinks and to hangout so I can imagine people like coming for the atmosphere. Come check it out.“
“I've been to loft 18 multiple times before, but when I started coming to Trivia Wednesdays I found a reason to return every Wednesday. I had the most wonderful waitress I've ever had wait on me at any bar or restaurant in my entire life. Her name is Angelle and she deserves a raise. She remembers my drink orders and gives the most amazing entree recommendations. Anytime my drink gets close to being empty there she is asking if I'd like another. When i finish my food she is right there ready to clear my table to make room for trivia sheets. Angelle is perfection in waitress form!!! I may come for Trivia, but I return every week because of your wonderful employee Angelle!!!“
“I feel that I'm a regular customer here , it's a fun place to go with very good food , I recommend the boudin balls , red beans and the lemon baken chicken breast . my favorite bartender is Lauren, always great to see her , she treats the customers great and knows what she is doing having been there for a while now . they have plenty of well lit parking with people always coming and going .inside they have a nice bar with plenty of seating ,and you can even get your own beer at your table yourself , by the way walk ons in my opinion has the coldest beer you'll find . the waitresses are nice and they will do a song for you, or a friend for their birthday which is very nice and fun . prices are very reasonable and and I like the local atmosphere and plates they have . you can't go wrong here for a good time and great food“
“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!“
“We went here after we had poor service, drinks and appetizers at a nearby restaurant. The manager Julie and waiter Brandon took such great care of us. The food was amazing and the service was top notch!! Thank y’all for taking care of a groups of girls and turning the night around for us!!! We will be back!!!“
“Friends told me about this place so I stopped by for lunch. Background: The name comes from the fact this area was once the location of pig farms. The owners have a second place in Mid City that another guest at Hog's Alley told me has great food, too. The menu is sort of small but very diverse. I had the fried shrimp basket and I'm a bit of a snob on fried shrimp. These were delicious. Excellent batter, tasty, and no iodine flavor at all. The jalapeno hush puppies were equally excellent. Fries were good but I can do without fries. Jaimie the bartender/server was friendly and very helpful. Not many people at 1 on Sunday but that didn't bother me. I'll go back.“
“Love every person here! Great Vibes and love ya April! Mostly the dedication to the behind the scenes we sometimes forget to say. “Thank you for making it all Gsppen for all of us yo enjoy!” Kitchen, Bar backs, clean up, etc.. and you beautiful amazing --Bartender-Psychiatrist- Counselors- (Your so appreciated)“
“We ate there for the first time this weekend and we had no complaints. The steaks were fabulous friendly service great atmosphere. Did I mention the steaks was on point probably in my top 3 of all time best steaks. We will be eating here more often.“
“It's a nice clean place. A place to bring people to come and hang out.Parking: A little small but it would work.Kid-friendliness: It should be no kids aloud because, of type of place. But I don't know anything about kids none was there when I was..“
“Definitely a MUST!!! 10/10 for food quality, service and atmosphere. Marie was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Super friendly and impressive! The Short rib was so tender and fell off the fork. The Shrimp scampi was so amazing, especially with the lump crab meat added on top. Will recommend to everyone back home in FL!“
“Best burger in the Metairie/New Orleans area by far. Huge size and cooked to order. Adding mushrooms is a game changer. Bar is super spacious and open. Parking can be a pain because of Metairie Rd. My go to when i want a burger. Server was very nice and attentive.“
“My friend and I have lunch two or three times a month and I randomly pick a place so we are always trying something new. We had decided on going to the mall so wanted to eat lunch first. I read they have great burgers so...need I say more. Great local place outside patio we were the first people in excellent service the food was spot on. Yes the burgers are that good“
“Thank You to Miss Bonnie & Miss Kelley You made sure we stayed Hydrated ! & OMG STEAK ON STEAK NIGHT IS SOMETHING YOU DONT WANNA MISS. DREW MADE SURE MY MEDIUM WELL STEAK WAS MOUTH WATERING !!!!!!!!! MAKE SURE YOU COME OUT AND GET A STEAK FROM HIM !!!!!!! I ATE THE ENTIRE 8OZ WIT LOADED POTATOES & THE CORN AS A EXTRA SIDE ( BUT SO WORTH IT ) ???“
“All the food is great and fresh. The only thing I miss is at the original Swamp Room they served fresh larger grated cheddar cheese. The cheddar they have now is finely grated and doesn't taste the same, it did make for a different better taste. Other then that I would've given 5 stars on the food. I would definitely go back, great atmosphere. ?“
“My ex boyfriend who only eats home cooked food introduced me to this place. The red beans and rice are delicious and I'm very picky about my beans. The Mac and cheese, fish and potato salad are also my favorites. This place is definitely a hidden gem.“
“I would highly recommend Spitale’s. The customer service was excellent and the food was served quickly.The appetizer was fabulous. The muffuletta was hot. Yummy! The food is delicious so stop by and visit because you won’t regret it. Promise!“
“Vinnie's has one of the most robust and extensive liquor selections in a bar that I have ever seen. Their well liquor would be considered premium at other places. Extremely friendly staff. We'll be back. We came back and tried the food, well worth the visit.“
“Enjoyed a Delicious burger! And perfectly baked potato. Unfortunately I ordered pickup and was not there for the drinks but I'm sure those would have been great as well. The atmosphere was very friendly and wasn't overpriced. 10/10“
“Me and my wife went here for vday. She had the lobster and I had a catfish platter. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. Very laid back. The drinks had way to much ice in them and nowhere close to enough tequila. Also the bathroom is in the back of the building. Doesn't seem safe for a lady to be walking back there at night to use the restroom. But I would definitely recommend going. Lots of tvs for sports as well.“
“Everything was delicious, however every table was dirty. Burgers were as close to perfect as you could hope for. Fries were crisp and perfect. The milkshakes amazing thick and flavorful. Just a little sad, the tables, drink machines well the dining room was generally sticky and crumb covered.“
“We went there today and met NANCY AND DAVE THE OWNERS. They were nice and welcoming. the food was good the service was courtesy and the place was clean including the restrooms. my family was satisfied and enjoyed the indoor dining room 1950s decor and music. We will be back and the roast beef poboy is next on my list to try. Americana and retro DRIVE IN l to enjoy. THIS IS AN ICONISTIC AMERICAN DREAM. we loved it and enjoyed our time there, especially talking with Nancy and Dave.“
“Going here is the best thing to go to . Reasonable prices for great authentic food . Always fresh great staff . Morning time is the best time to go even though they’re open later .Parking: Decent amount of space to park and parking isn’t closed in and tight like an alleyway.Kid-friendliness: Always treating the kids happiness.“
“I was on a short 10days visit to New Orleans and came here twice during my visit . This place is a classic. My last time here was in 2018 and the quality still remains as the owners are hands on in this business .Loved their catfish and oyster po boys, gumbo and crawfish etouffee . The bread was so soft and the fillings were all delicious . I took a half size and had it once with cole slaw and another time with salad . The crawfish etouffee was topped with catfish and equally delicious. If you want great New Orleans food do come by . You won't be disappointed !“
“Shared a plate of fifty wings between the two of us. They were a little stingy on the celery (we asked four times... first they brought us five mini-sticks, then four, then four, and they ignored the last request). Good atmosphere, more like a sports bar, with lots of TV's playing different shows. Nice waitresses but none of them were visibly outgoing, rather quiet (Jennifer Aniston, Office Space, Chochky's... lacking 'flair' etc. [lol]).“
“Lovveee the affordable Long Islands! They’re strong too whewww lol! Burgers are biggg and I’d give it about a 3.8/5! Love how laid back it is! Will be back!10/15 update - revisited this spot again! Super friendly staff, chill and lowkey vibes which is why I like it here! I sit outside because they do allow smoking inside the building! Those jalapeño peppers were the best I’ve ever tasted (you get 6 of them) and I can’t forget about the Long Islands! I like them!“
“Let’s just start by saying this is an excellent place for food and drinks. Super clean inside, very personable staff, owner was friendly and professional, food was excellent, cocktails strong and full of flavor. #thisplacerocks A must are the Brussel Sprouts and NOLA Burger As always…. Tip 20% or Stay Home“
“Been eating here over 50 years and have never had a bad meal. Large portions for the money. Muffulettas, Po-boys and hot meals are large enough to share, same with their sides of French fries or onion rings. Don’t typically like bread pudding but theirs is great! Although it’s been a while, their stuffed artichokes used to be very good. We’ve used a few times for catering and found to be great food at great value. Only weak area is the side salad with the meals, but there are alternatives.“
“Perfect place for a party, get together or date night. The place has plenty of parking, fun atmosphere, has been decorated very tastefully and the food is incredible. Outstanding costumer service and cordial. So glad to have a diverse and unique venue in Metairie!“
