“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!“

“Absolutely delicious food and super friendly people! The oyster and shrimp po boys are perfect. I got to taste their crawfish and their mushrooms and they are the best I’ve ever tasted. The next time I visit NOLA, I’m definitely making a return trip to Mary J’s!“

“I used to go to Bonefish grill in Maryland, then I moved and the closest was Irvine, California, an hour from home. I went there occasionally, then I went and it was closed. So, I haven't been in a few years.
So, January 22, 2026 I was in New Orleans, and saw they had one, so I had to go. It did not disappoint. Same great taste that I remember. I got the bang-bang shrimp, and fish tacos with mango salsa.“

“Food is fabulous!! Staff is very friendly.. I have had all the stir fry dishes. Shrimp roll ups and egg rolls AND, the Hot & sour soup…delicious! You all must try..“

“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!“

Been coming here with my family since before i could walk and it stands as one of our oldest traditions to have dinner or lunch here at least once a week. The staff are the absolute best! Carey will always take care of ya😉 idk who would ever give this place less than 5 stars, if you have the chance… get some boiled crabs, onion rings and a cup o soup and let em know Clare sent ya!“

“I celebrated my 40th birthday at P&L’s, and it couldn’t have been better! The service was top-notch, the cocktails were spot on, and the food was outstanding. Hands down, the best prime rib I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a place to host a large private event, I can’t recommend P&L’s enough!“

“they have great food, the best roast beef po boy I've ever had. I also really like the chicken parmesan and the veal parmesan. the plates come with salad vegetable and bread very large portions. it is definitely worth the drive if you do not live in the neighborhood. they also have a nice selection of beers in the cooler“

“Great customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and service, a/c is working great“

“Melanie our server went above and beyond to make our dining experience wonderful!“

“Absolute five stars 100% of the way
Parking can be a bit tight but let me tell you, it’s all worth it
I really wish I would’ve got the server’s name she was amazing and was the bright spot of our visit
We decided on a half a poor boy and a cup of soup along with a half order of hush puppies
Our amazing server brought our tea and kept them full
When the hush puppies came they were light fluffy very flavorful probably some of the best I’ve ever eaten
That was just a prelude to the rest of the meal, next course that came was my seafood gumbo again probably one of the best I’ve ever eaten amazing flavor and seafood in every bite
My wife had had the crawfish corn chowder and it was also amazing, ask me how I know lol
When our poor boys came my wife chose the catfish and I had the shrimp
If I wasn’t so caught up in the moment I would’ve taken a picture I could not even see the bun there was so much shrimp same for my wife they are not stingy with the portions
It was a perfect, the bun was the type that was flaky and crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside
The breading on the shrimp and catfish was the type that was crunchy and crisp but not over seasoned you could actually taste the catfish and shrimp you know what I mean

Highly highly recommend visiting this establishment“

“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!“

“Came for dinner tonight with my two girls and my grandmother! The waitress was attentive, polite, and engaged with my children which is a plus. The chicken Alfredo was wonderful. It was massive portions! My grandma got the shrimp and corn chowder. It was all so good! I love how laid back this restaurant is and how they make you feel appreciated for your buisness!“

“This seafood market is 5-Star. Seafood boiled or cook your own is fresh. Staff - the best!“

“Mano's Po-Boys has Great Food and Great service! I do recommend this place to everyone!“

“My husband's 60th Birthday party was held at The Max this past weekend! The new renovations inside look fantastic! Several of our guests commented on how great the venue looked and how clean it was! Thank you Bridget, Chris and Denise for helping us pull this together. The ease of set up, fantastic service and warm welcome to us and our guests made this event a huge hit! Our guests have been ringing our phones since Sunday morning commenting on what a fantastic night it was!! I will highly recommend this venue for any party, event, reunion or get together!“

“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“

“Great food. Will can make a hamburger that'll knock your socks off.. His Mac and cheese is like Mom's homemade. Highly recommend!“

“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!!!”“

“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!“

“Very nice and cozy bar😉 we loved it!“

“The waiter who served us was an older gentleman, and he was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. He talked with us, shared his story, and made the experience truly enjoyable. The food is excellent, one dish is enough for two people because the portions are very large. Everything was outstanding. The atmosphere is very calm, with music and a pool table. I give it a 100/10. I truly wish we had a place like this in Texas. 🥰❤️“

“Absolute LOVED Barcar! This locally owned spot has a well curated menu and a wide variety of beverages both alcohol
and mocktail!
The Steak Tartare and the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice are some of our faves and the Timesaver was an inventive and delicious drink.
I liked that the Staff had great recommendations and the Manager made us feel really welcome and checked to make sure everything was good.
I have not made Happy Hour yet but def on my radar because it goes til 6pm and also Bingo Night looks like a good time to break up the work week monotony.“

We felt welcomed! We felt a great vibe! That meant a lot to us ! James and Paul the managers were also nothing short of amazing!
