“I ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich. The bread was delicious, and the chicken was well seasoned. The only small issue I had was the sauce was a lil sweeter than I expected, and a lil more cheese was needed. I would order again though. Tasty!“

“Christina was THE BEST!!!! She took excellent care of my daughter and her friends and matched their sassy energy with smiles, patience and awesome service. She even remembered one of the girls AND her order from the last time she served her. Wow! The girls really enjoyed making their own pizza. Christina made great menu suggestions for the adults including the roasted eggplant and the Santa Margaritas which we loved! We will be back soon.Kid-friendliness: A table full of 11yr old girls can be a challenge but Christina made it look easy. She was patient, friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of.“

“Outstanding authentic Italian food! We were a party of five and everyone loved their entrees while we shared several appetizers. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. One of the entrées had lobster cooked to perfection! There are some great cocktails and excellent choices for wine by the glass. Deserts were too delicious. Service was outstanding and the decor was enjoyable. With so many choices in Nola, this one is very highly recommended!“

“Step back in time to the classic crooners era. Exceptional customer service. 1pm on Thursday, driving down St. Charles passing the time until I needed to be some place, passed this little gem and decided to pop in. I was immediately greeted and sat by Mr. Otis. Promptly bringing water. Mr. Georgio informed me of the availability of fresh softshells, and took my order. Sitting by the window watching the beautiful streetcars going up and down St. Charles. There was a few people in the restaurant but it was a whole vibe. Meal was fantastic. I watch a sweet older couple ask Mr. Georgio about the street car, he walked the couple across the street and give instructions on what to do. Absolutely suggest taking the time to visit. Two guests, appetizer, 2 lunch specials, water and tea bill was in the mid $60s without tip.“

“This place is aboslutely amazing! My wife and I came in for a little date dinner and the food was just magnificent. My wife had the lasagna and oh my God let me tell you that we highly recommend it. I had the breaded chicken breast with fettuccine alfredo with added grilled shrimp. That was also mouth watering! I don't have any complaints here whatsoever. The service was also great. I can definitely say we will be returning for more dates soon.Parking: Plenty of parking to choose from.Kid-friendliness: They have allot of kid friendly choices“

“Serving as one of the only known Halal pizza joints I know of in the area, this spot serves a meat lovers with a beef pepperoni, beef sausage, and more! Super fire pizza and worth the drive from BR each time. Place not much to look at being off Bourbon but the staff is super friendly. If you are looking to do a quick grab and go I would order ahead so it's ready by the time you get there.“

“I just had the best lunch at this Cafe. Outstanding service and food is excellent. Will go back every time I'm in the area. Thank for your service. RJ Escoe“

“Ok I ordered from Uber eats but like god they’re soooo gooddddd! I use it as a place I go when I’m tired of fast food! Absolutely delicious ?Vegetarian options: You can customize like every order and say no meat or whatever. Idk but is sooo goodddd. Also veggie quesadillas“

“We had another great experience last night. Scott was amazing! Great food and excellent service. It was definitely worth the wait.“

“My wife and I have really grown to love the Metairie Carrabba’s. When it originally opened years ago, we went once and were not impressed so despite leaving nearby we never went back. A friend mentioned it maybe 6-months ago and she swore it was pretty good so we gave it another chance and we are glad we did. We now maybe go 3 times or so a month. We had one problem with a server lately and I asked for a manager and Blake promptly solved the issue and took care of us the rest of the night. The food has always been very good, the service pretty quick and the bar service very good too. Our two favorite servers are Mel and Sara but with the exception of that one night the service has always been great too. I recommend Carrabba’s for a dinner for two or a small group of friends. Their “wine dinners” are also a hit for us. It’s nice to have somewhere close to home that you know is rock solid on the food & service. Thanks to Blake and his team!“

“Awesome funky atmosphere! Awesome service! Awesome food!! This place was a win for my family and I.“

“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“

“Food & service outstanding. Shout out to our server Nigel.“

“I just stopped by and got the meatball and the chicken alfredo dinners to take out. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. Meatballs were especially delicious, and the wife said the same about her blackened chicken. We will be back soon to try a few other menu items.“

“Very good service. While ok vacation we stoped here twice!!!“

“Very busy, put our name on the list, took about half an hour for two of us to get a table, when the food came out you realised why it was so busy fantastic food, great service, and a reasonable price. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone visiting the French quarter of New Orleans.“

“While on vacation we had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious appetizer and a pizza. The service was amazing. The server was a one woman show but she was pleasant with everyone. I definitely recommend checking out this spot when you need a break from seafood.“

“First time at the new location and it was great. There were 6 of us and the orders were taken quickly, the food came out quickly, and the service was on point. We had a fried shrimp platter, 2 shrimp poboys, a roast beef poboy, a hot sausage poboy, lasagna and an order of onion rings. All were spectacular! I usually go to the one in Terrytown but would definitely go to this one again.“

“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 was born on Jefferson Highway and after eating the amazing food here I can happily die of a food coma on Jefferson Highway. Portions were very surprising in their generosity. The service was perfect. We didn’t have a single server, it was awesome teamwork. The interactions and conversations were relaxed and welcoming. We are already planning to return.“

“Have only eaten there and been to an event. Love the atmosphere!“

“Not only is the pizza the best in the city, the owners and service are even better!! They were kind enough to give my grandson Lucas a piece of lemon icebox pie for dessert on the house!! #lucasaustin“

“Just had a great meal and great service at Fillipo’s Italian restaurant in Metairie. Both courses were well prepared and delicious! Great veal!“

“This was our last night in New Orleans and we were looking for home style Italian food. We hit the jackpot at Two Tony’s Restaurant! The food and atmosphere was wonderful! The Fettuccini Alfredo with Romano crusted chicken was amazing! Best wishes all! We will be back!“

“My family and I love, love, love to eat here. Feels like family! Our server is always nice and helpful, and always get our orders correct. The serving portions are excellent. Pricing is a bit high, but it's made up for by service, cleanliness, and the amount of food. Plus, the bathrooms are always available.“

“I've lived in Algiers for 30+ years and have never had the pleasure of eating there but this Lenten season was the perfect time to give them a try, we ordered the seafood 3 combo platter...the food was fresh, hot, and super yummy ?!!! Even my 88 year old Mother who rather cook at home was impressed!!! A staple in the neighborhood has gained another satisfied customer, keep up the great cuisine!!!“

“I prefer quality over quantity. They had to bring me a second dish to put the food on because the plates are too small I don't know what the deal is with that. The quantity of food was more than one person should eat at any time. I haven't eaten here since around covid happened I'm sure they have some good dishes I may be back to try them. I had the hamburger steak with gravy and onions it was probably a pound of meat. I think I ate about six bites. It was okay. The grilled onions were undercooked. The brown gravy tasted like something out of a can. I hope to choose better next time I visit. The people were awesome in the service line and the waitress was excellent too.“

“The best pizza by the slice I have had in years! Not greasy- crisp AND chewy crust— so good!“

“Fast, friendly and delicious, we just had Meatballs, eggplant sticks and tiramisu togo. It was delicious as always and still warm when we got to our destination. Thank you for helping me make the surprise picnic for our 27th anniversary a great memory.“

“Good white sauce pizzas, to include the Philly steak and Alfredo chicken, for those that have trouble with the red.“

“The best pizza in the entire state!! They offer a BEEF PEPPERONI option that is out of this world; everything they make is PERFECT and DELICIOUS.The owners are very kind, accommodating, and welcoming. This place is my go-to for any pizza! It's a small hole-in-the-wall, very lowkey and enjoyable! If i could only eat at one place for the rest of my life i would choose Milano's Pizza and, trust me, you would too!!“

“If you're looking for good food along with good vibes, this is your place!“

“Reginelli’s Pizzeria is a little off my normal path but I am really glad I stopped by. The decor is lively, with photographs of music legends on the walls. The background music is also very nice. Service was good and the combination pizza that I had was really good. They also have outdoor seating for nice days.Vegetarian options: Several non-meat dishesDietary restrictions: Advise staff on restrictions before orderingParking: Plenty street parkingKid-friendliness: Totally kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Side entrance is accessible“
