The place could be good, but with poor dispenser Cola in plastic glass and demand for tips before the food came is not much to boast of. The food was ok, but nothing that lifted up. Completely average place.

This could have been a good experience for our 50th anniversary if w had not had a waitress who preferred not to wait on us, I guess because of how we looked.

We were in town to watch the Ohio state football game. We went to Mannings. Obnoxiously loud. Not cooperative. Walked across the street. They went above and beyond to make sure we not only have the game but we have our own TV to watch the game. Thank you very much. Highly recommend.

I was looking for ‘best roast beef po’boy’ and concierge at my hotel recommended here. Wow, I have always preferred shrimp, so ordered both! They are huge! But both were devoured. 2 Abita ‘Boot’s and my whole body feels happy! Bailey was a great server, much appreciated.

Awful customer service. They tell you to sit wherever you like and then for 20 minutes they walk by and ignore you. They don’t take your drink order or even bring you a menu. We tried them out a second time and ended up walking out both times without ordering or even being acknowledged.

Decent spot. Lunch was okay. Everything from the service,
to the food, to the ambience was just okay.

The gumbo was pretty bland.

The red beans were also pretty plain.

The boudin balls were mushy and kind of lame.

Probably not a great day in the kitchen. Even our server recognized that. My wife's salad was missing tomatoes and other things listed in the menu.

We won't return.

Spent a weekend in New Orleans, came here twice. This was by far the BEST bar I went to. Cheap drinks, and a great balcony to relax on. Wasn't too packed, even on a Friday night. Will definitely come back next time in NOLA.

I stopped by this location after a wedding and ordered a side of fries. When I asked if there were any sauces, I was told, “Yes we do, it’s over here.” I may have misunderstood what was meant, so I walked up and started making my own sauces to go. While doing so, I greeted the cooks and a young lady near the window. She politely offered, “I can do it for you,” while I was still trying to find the perfect combination, but I said, “It’s okay, I have it,” not realizing that the sauces weren’t actually meant for guests to access directly.
I had a nice conversation with the cooks, asking about their favorite menu items and even playfully joked as if I worked there (reading out orders, especially mine) because the whole night shift crew was so welcoming and full of energy.
A manager eventually stepped in. He seemed a bit upset, which I completely understand. I explained that I caused the misunderstanding because I thought the sauce station was self-serve. I also shared that, as someone in a leadership role myself, I truly admired the positivity and teamwork his staff displayed.
My only suggestion would be to maybe rope off that section or relocate the sauces to avoid future mix-ups like mine, especially since the cups and lids are visible and can make it seem self-serve.
Overall, the fries were great, the drinks were great, and the night staff was amazing. Wishing the whole team continued success!
