“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!“

“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!“

“Great customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Picked up 3 12" Poboys for the family and the owner's were absolutely wonderfully entertaining while I waited. The Poboys were perfectly dressed and everything was freshly cooked when served. I'm a Poboy fan and this place definitely didn't disappoint ‼️‼️‼️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 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!“

“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!“

“Way to dance Seafood for my birthday and a service spectacular jacked up oysters off the town recommend this place 10 out of 10 and Justin was our waiter he wants phenomenal!“

“First time there. Went to see live band - Alt’r Ego. Fun entertaining band w/90s set list. Great seating options for watching the band. The bartender was awesome. She remembered my name each time I approached her. Felt like I was at Cheers. 😉“

“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!!!”“

“I enjoyed everything about this place The scenery the atmosphere and the food was amazing ♥️“

“You want an excellent burger cooked exactly like you want it? Get over to Harbor Bar and Grill. I visit regularly and try to bring a friend to get them to love it as much as I do. The only thing is on my last visit the waitress rushed us a bit and didn't wait for me to finish my order before asking me questions about my order. Other than that, she did an excellent service and we appreciated her attentiveness. And as always, the food was great! Was so excited to eat the awesome looking burger, I forgot to take a photo. PS. The sweet potato fries were perfect too! My compliments to the chef!“

“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!“

“My girlfriend and I both ate here last night for the first time ever. We celebrated our one year anniversary here, and our server Mark made things nothing but wonderful and easy. He had great recommendations and very smoothly moved the night along. He even got us an anniversary dessert with writing on the plate in chocolate and everything. I recommend this place for a fancy date night and if Mark is available, I recommend you get him as a server. I can’t imagine anyone in that place doing a better job than him.“

“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!“
