Outstanding food. Burgers are amazing. Get the loaded potato or the Mac and cheese. You won't be disappointed.

You know this is really hard and sad for me to write because I don't like making bad reviews! I'm the one that makes good reviews or makes sure to tell the managers of my great experiences every single time I visit a good restaurant! However tonight Sat. 1/12/19 at 1 am I decided I would order from you guys on ubereats. I have come to your restaurant many times and feel like I've been a loyal customer! But I had made specific request in the comments area on Uber that I didn't want certain things on my burger. Sometimes I've noticed with Uber the restaurants don't read the comments so I always tend to call the restaurant just to reiterate my request. A girl answered the phone and I politely told her that I was just calling because I just wanted to make sure that the cook's saw my comments. The girl advised me that she didn't see my name on Uber list... Which was weird because I had seen it be approved right before I called? Turns out my order was canceled due to the restaurant being busy I assume or the girl hating me. The girl on the phone told me that the restaurant was really busy and that if my order came through that she bluntly was not going to go out of her way to make sure that the cooks read the comments. when she told me that the restaurant was busy I felt really bad and totally understood! But the entire conversation was probably the rudest I've ever been spoken to and when I asked for her name she hung up on me. I called back a second time to ask for her name again because I don't think that's appropriate to speak to customers the way that she did even if it was busy because I wasn't being rude to her and I was actually empathetic. She then again hung up on me. Than I decided to call back again and I simply said very politely "I wasn't rude to you so I'm really confused why you hung up on me and are being so rude to me?" She then again hung up on me. I'm not someone to complain at all and I understand that a business is busy and I'm not even offended that my order was canceled due to high volume however I think this girl may have just cancelled it herself because she didn't like me, I guess? Honestly it was the strangest conversation I've had. So my complaint isn't that the food is bad. My complaint is this girl who legitimately hung up on me three times! I Only called a second time because I felt like maybe she misunderstood me? But she didn't care and she hung up and said nothing. This kind of behavior is detrimental to any restaurant! I felt like a complete idiot. And I understand that we all have bad nights. But to hang up on someone when I was genuinely just asking is simple request is absolutely absurd. Also, I think when a customer asks for your name you should have to tell them so that if you have a complaint like this you can tell the management. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before and honestly it just makes me feel really small and hesitant to come to your restaurant anymore which makes me really sad.

Hello. How could I not know this place was here. I mean it's near one of the most popular streets in the NOLA... Stopped in with a friend for a quick drink as we were hanging out downtown. My first stop in the bar/restaurant was to the restroom; after a few hours of hanging out, I needed to use the facilities. For the restroom, you exit the establishment in the rear, walk about 50 paces & I it's a single toilet, WoooHoooo, no sharing. The bartender was attentive and quite friendly; makes for easier drinking. The kitchen seemed busy as I saw orders being placed and then some where carried out for delivery. Next time I'll have to grab a bite to eat along with my adult beverage.

Tried to eat here last night. In the past, the burgers were good. We sat down in a booth right after some people. The bartender asked for our IDs which we got ready. Never asked the other table. She inspected and didn't like one of the IDs because it was peeling a little. At this point, she declined to serve us food not alcohol. I just got up and left without argument. What's the point right? There are plenty of places in eat in the quarter. Now, I know why it was slow in there compared to the past. HARD PASS on this place. FYI, the youngest of the three is a 29 year old who wanted a Coke and Burger. Bad attitudes and crappy service will kill a place.

Menu is short and simple. They don't have French fries. They charge you for sour cream on your baked potato. Waitress touched our pizza with her hands and claimed there's nothing wrong with that. The pizza tasted like cheap school pizza. The only thing that was great was the baked potato.

Y'all, I've never had a worst dining experience in my life. I'm Yelp elite and if you use Yelp, you know that getting elite status is an achievement. It means that we go to restaurants, we try the food and we write reviews based off our entire experience from the minute we step into a restaurant to the minute we step out. I like sharing my experiences to make sure people have an understanding of what to expect from a restaurant and I share my reviews to bring a positive impact on both the business and the consumers. In order to share my opinions about a restaurant, I like to eat the most popular items on a restaurant's menu and to find out what the most popular items are, I either use Yelp reviews (like anyone else) or I ask the servers/bartenders of the restaurant for recommendations based off what they see their customers ordering. The same thing happened today - not even two hours ago. I came to this restaurant because I was hungry and as I walked on Bourbon St. at 7 PM, I didn't want to waste time finding the best burger spot. I wanted the locals to tell me the best spot and one of the bouncers I passed by told me to come here so I did. I didn't know what to order but as a burger lover, I was excited to get something. I looked at the menu and I asked my server for a recommendation as soon as he gave me my menu. He said he loved the "hangover burger and the peanut butter burger" - two burgers I read about and did not like. When he came back to me approximately 15 minutes later for my order, I presented him with two options - the El Toro Loco burger and the Texas burger. When I asked the waiter which burger out of the two sold most, he said he liked the hangover burger and it wasn't his job to tell me what to order. He told me to order fast and that he wasn't there to decide my order for me. It wasn't said jokingly or with any politeness. I was treated like a drunk college girl that was being obnoxious. I was extremely civil in the way I spoke, I came for dinner at 7:30 PM - not for a late night drunk snack, I was not in any way out of control and as a woman, in that situation, I felt extremely insulted. On top of that, I was there with a male friend. When the waiter told me to order and that he wasn't there to decide for me, he did not look at me once. He looked at my male friend the entire time. I wasn't even looked in the eyes when I was told to stop wasting his time. When I was in that restaurant, I was asking a server for the best selling item. I was not acting like an uncontrollable youth being unreasonable. I asked the server for a recommendation between two options I chose and I was asking because as Yelp elite/any person paying for an expensive meal, I wanted to know what was ordered most from the options I presented. Instead of acknowledging my question, the waiter made me feel stupid and annoying for asking for an opinion. He made me feel stupid for raising the question and I had no idea what to do so I just went on to order the Texas burger. He wasn't nicer when he asked me what side I wanted. The food was brought over and placed by my friend, not me. I was not checked in on. I honestly wasn't even able to eat the food because I was so uncomfortable with what had happened. Instead of sitting there, I grabbed my food to go and came home. Both my friend and the uber driver spent the whole ride asking me for the story and strongly interjected that they would have stood up and said something in my shoes. I should have gone to the manager right then, but I just wanted to leave. It doesn't hurt that I am reacting now. I am telling this story on here because I've never had a worse restaurant experience. The experience left me feeling so bad that I didn't even eat the food I bought. I even called the restaurant to speak with a manager to no success once i was in my hotel room. I called three times. As someone who came to NOLA for one weekend, I don't need any compe

Wow, what a disappointment. Whenever we come to NOLA we always made a point of visiting when it was Yo Mamma's. We saw the named changed but the menu looked similar so we figured we would get the same great burger. Turns out we were very wrong. Bartender/waitress made a point of telling us that the new owner used real 100% beef, where the old owners used "fillers". Well as it turns out, fillers are a lot tastier than the very dry burgers we were served. They were not even big enough for the buns. The side baked potato was ok, but definitely old. I wanted mayo for my burger and waitress pointed to bottle on table. Ummmm, what kind of mayo doesn't get refrigerated? Yuck!

I was sorry to find out this place was no longer YoMamas but after reading reviews I thought to give it a try. Burgers not too bad. I didn't think they were out of this world as I thought of YoMamas. They are slightly different. Probably won't return as there is so much other food in the city that fits the bill.

Shelly is an absolute delight!! We enjoyed every single minute of our time here. The food was amazing (We got red beans & rice) and the drinks were yummy!!
This was a great find. Great rib steak, loaded baked potato and green salad. Hamburgers at the next table were huge. Happy bartender.

Been coming here for 15+ years in its earlier incarnation as Yo Mama's, and continuing under the new ownership. Always quality, always enjoyable. Had several great conversations with patrons, as well as with Shelley, our bartender during visits week before last.

We had a burger and a chicken sandwich, both were phenomenal. It's a laid back, hole in the wall type joint--so you're not here for fancy ambiance. But the food is so good, nobody cares. Plus, you're in the south: the less removed from polished, franchise-like spots you are, the better.
Lauren Beaty
The food is always amazing and the big easy burger( mac n cheese burger) is to die for. Can't go wrong with any of the food here. And the service! Oh you can't ask for any better, they treat you like family. Best place and service all around. Recommend this place to everyone, this is my go to bar/ food every time we visit
Shannon D.
Excellent service! Very knowledgeable bartender. If you are waiting for the haunted history tour this is the place to come hang out. Outside of the bourbon street crowd. Clean which isn't always to come by with the drinking crowd. Also have a pretty extensive menu. Will be coming back
