“Take out- friendly, prompt service Creole wings- plump, juicy, flavorful, not usually a wing eater but loved these Jerk chicken on bun- spicy, peppery, soft bun, loved it, i added habanero bbq sauce i had at home- it needed sauce. Fries- Excellent, house-made Loved the decor, seating on patio and out front, friendly neighborhood vibe Clean bathroom“
“We stopped in to have a drink and a light bite. Our waitress was also the bartender, she told us to sit where we wish so we chose a table inside but by the patio area. There were two other couples dining there at the time as it was after lunch but before happy hour. After a few minutes she came by with a menu and asked us if we wanted to start with a drink. Since we just got the menu we asked for a few minutes to see what they had before making a decision. She came back 15 minutes later to take our order. We had the swamp balls (including fried gator bites) which were mushy and not particularly flavorful. It is a neat atmosphere, it wasn’t a great day but I imagine sitting on the patio on a nice day would be phenomenal. The price was very reasonable, for two drinks and an appetizer it was less than $25.Parking: Plenty of free parking.Kid-friendliness: Very child friendly, including a game room off the dining area.“
“This is not fancy, this is an epically perfect dive bar. We headed here in NOLA to watch MSU game for the tournament. There were plenty of TVs, comfortable seating, and we sat right at the bar. Bartender was attentive, knowledgeable, and hilarious. Also the drinks are NOT weak! The food was totally perfect, definitely recommend the pizza and the potato skins. We did a lot while in New Orleans but this was one of our fav experiences.“
“Showed up 30 mins before closing and they still served the full menu & drinks. Bartender had a good personality.. TV's everywhere making sports games a must go to spot to watch. Ordered Beignets to go will comment afterwards on post.“
“The food is great. Kitchen clean, music, bar, dance floor. They make it fresh whatever may be on the menu for the day, so it took a little bit longer to get my food, but it was worth the wait. I am from Washington State and will be back when I am in “
“If you're trying to decide, go here. The bartender was super friendly. It's a local bar. I had the catfish po-boy, and tots. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly not at all greasy. I had some of my wife's red beans and rice... Wow.We're coming back during this visit to try other dishes.Update: second visit, I had the smoked sausage Po-boy. Also excellent.“
“Get off the strip and away from the tourist traps and come to this neighborhood bar for a great time. Drinks and food are great and the whiskey selection will make the bougiest whiskey enthusiast cry with joy. This was our favorite bar of the trip and we can't recommend it enough!!!“
“I was just at Okay Bar for a Persian New Year event and had the best time!! For a Tuesday night at any bar, I wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as I got there, it was music and good vibes flowing out the doors! I had a drink within minutes and into the vibrant crowd I went dancing haha. An amazing Persian food pop-up guest starring for the night called Baba Joon! Apparently they hadn't popped up since last Summer, so the people really came to support! Wasn't sure I'd get to try it with how popular they looked but they moved through the line quickly and I got to try a few dishes! Really glad I made it over to Okay Bar! More than okay with me! :)“
“Bryant Park NOLA delivered a great experience for a last-minute reception. Bryant was incredibly helpful in organizing the event, the venue was great, and everyone enjoyed the food. I highly recommend this place for any party or social event.“
“Good value for a quick overnight stop and full nights rest. The hotel was very clean. Pillows and blankets very soft which the family liked a lot. Good water pressure. Location is easy proximity to explore tourist spots without being on the busy loud main drags. We took a 10 min petty cab bike ride to bourbon and walked all the way down and over to Frenchman. Chose a room with View of the river which was nice, the kids felt “fancy”. Only parking available is valet, but our dually truck was not accepted so we had to park overnight in the lot next door $40. Housekeeping knocked on our door at 9am on a Saturday which was annoying so do put on the do not disturb sign. AC was working well and strong but my husband said he noticed feeling stuffy from the vents.“
“We visited this cozy little bar everyday/night when we were in New Orleans in January 2024. Benjamin was my absolute favourite New Orleans person. What an asset to this business he is! Such a character, and so likeable and makes you feel very welcome. Well done Benjamin for making us Aussie's feel special, I unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to thank you. We miss you!!Parking: I would recommend an uber or taxiKid-friendliness: I wouldn't recommend taking children there.“
“Bar & Grill. Good variety on menu. Food was good but a little higher priced than some other nearby places. Bloody Mary was more than just a drink-it had its own theme park experience going on...lol! Atmosphere is laid back vibe but service was on point.“
“This place is the best! The food is consistently great and the people are very sweet. They had missed an item last time I ordered (the mozzarella sticks, which are the best I've had anywhere) so this time they included an extra treat with a nice note thanking me for my order, which was such a sweet surprise. The churros were warm and delicious! Recommend just about anything on the menu, especially the pizza and burgers!“
“I love this place! If I lived a little closer I would be there most nights. They make a good solid burger. My only gripe is the lack of liquor selection, otherwise I would give them 5 stars. The music I've heard there is awesome and always entertaining. Very friendly staff!!“
“Pretty cool place to chill wit a Daiquiri and pretty good daquiris but u gotta watch'em when they make'em asked for 2 shots of Everclear n he thought i wasn't lookin n he only put 1 when he came and gave it to me i asked why he only put one but charged me for 2 .. i even sipped it to make sure but a small with 2 shots woulda normally be hella strong ... it wasn't“
“Food ALWAYS hits!!I've had almost every burger and every chicken sandwich and every salad..Favorites repeats were the hot chicken sandwich and Cobb salad pictured here.Bartenders all friendly, I only have 30 minutes for lunch so I like to call ahead so it will be ready but if you come at an off peak time you should be golden.“
“We were waiting for a table at Morrow's so came to Artisan for a drink. This is a very small, but clean and cute neighborhood bar. It definitely reminded me of some of the neighborhood bars in Chicago. We didn't try the food but they had some great sounding options. Our bartender, Cheryl, was fabulous and chatted with us for awhile. Multiple tvs around the bar and a bar with many options. Would highly recommend a visit.“
“We stopped here before heading to the Pelicans game . When we walked into the dark bar atmosphere I had a thought of walking out . But then we were greeting by the nicest server who was also the bartender and some some of our favorite food from the area . The chicken sandwich and jambalaya were amazing . Highly recommend , my kids loved it too“
“We went to a lot French Quarter venues during our recent visit, and can say that the dueling pianos bar was the best of all. It is an absolute blast. Remember that it is a very popular spot so you need to arrive early to have much hope of getting a table. Pretty much everyone knows that this was the birthplace of the Hurricane, and I’m not sure you find any better version of it. This property also has a great outdoor courtyard area, as well as another inside bar in case you want a change of pace. Now that I’ve been, I get why people still pack the place in. What a great time!“
“A little place off the beaten path. You have to know it's there or get Google to point you. Hubby had roast beef with gravy and it was enough for 2 sandwiches. I had the shrimp platter. Could barely finish and took the salad home for later.“
“The waiter/person who took my order was great, and when i asked for a vegan burger, he made sure to ask how i wanted the burger, if i wanted vegan cheese or not, if i wanted the order to be completely vegan or vegetarian... the burger was so delicious, i had to check if it was actually vegan. the fries were hot and fresh (so was the burger) and not greasy at all. i will definitely visit again. Only note is that when you enter, the Slap burger kitchen is to the right, and there is a tabletop counter with some stools, and a window to order, a pick-up window that gives a view of the cooks cooking while you wait. Only cash seems to be accepted at the bar for now. but Slap burger takes both form of payments. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-02“
