The Big Easy Diner is one of the more pleasant diners I have visited, offering a nostalgic 50s and 60s atmosphere. The food has consistently been excellent; my daughters treated me here for Father's Day, and we were all very satisfied. We started with the large onion rings, which were substantial enough to nearly fill us up. For our entrees, I had the BLT, my youngest daughter ordered a hamburger, and my eldest chose the cheesy fries. Everything was well-prepared, and the milkshakes and iced tea were both top-tier. While service can occasionally be slow during peak hours due to staffing challenges, the staff on duty are always friendly and accommodating. Furthermore, the prices are very reasonable. This was not our first visit to the Big Easy, and it certainly won't be our last. If you are looking for fast food, the major chains are located just down the street, and if you are seeking fine dining, this is not that either. The Big Easy Diner is simply a wonderful place to enjoy a quality meal. read more

Food is delish! Service is always top notch and they keep the coffee coming. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is always good .

Just dropped in here and had an excellent country diner breakfast experience. Love this place. We were seated and were able to place our order quickly. It was nice to enjoy a simple and well prepared breakfast with sunny side up eggs, corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy. Totally recommend if you are on a road trip and need a quick but proper breakfast to recharge. read more

My experiences here have been hit or miss. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but in general I enjoy it so I keep going back. One thing going for them is they are open 24 hours so if you want to eat super late (or super early) they are the only place open besides Waffle House. One of our favorite things to do is to go here for late-night pie. Yes, pie. They have real pies on the menu in a number of flavors. Tons of fun. The menu is large and should have something to satisfy anybody. They have a nice variety of daily blue-plate specials that are usually pretty good. It gets crowded on weekend mornings when everybody seems to be out for breakfast, but at other times/days I have never had to wait for a table. The servers are always friendly. Not always perfect but they seem to be hustling and trying hard. read more

The Big Easy Diner is exactly what the name implies. New Orleans, famous for hundreds of years for their food and warm hospitality, has its own food culture, recognized and appreciated worldwide. So, when you go in for breakfast, their grits & eggs & sausage or bacon, or the hash browns & eggs over medium, are especially delicious, as are the French toast or pancakes. Their meals are really delicious as well. Enjoy!! read more

Loved this place! Enjoyed a deluxe crab cake breakfast served with eggs, grits, and pan bread (Texas toast made from sourdough bread.) Husband had thick, big waffles and bacon. The servers, Michelle and Teresa, were beautiful. Friendly women. Lots of atmosphere with tasteful , nostalgic Louisiana art. I'm sure they have a devoted following. And the crab cakes were superb! read more

I've gone several times to give them the benefit of the doubt but after tonight I'm not going back. I've never walked out of a restaurant before but sitting there watching waitresses walk passed you rolling their eyes and just sitting with no menu was the last straw. It shouldn't take 10-20 to greet every table. Being a server is having more than one table at a time. It's like she wasn't gonna come over until her table was gone. I was sitting right next to her table she already had and not one word. Thank god popeyes was next door after that i just wanted to go home.its a shame bc the food is actually good but the service kills the vibe everytime read more

Very welcoming atmosphere and quick service. We didn't have to wait long even for a table of 6 on a busy Saturday. The food was good, and everyone (even our picky eater) enjoyed what they ordered. Would return here for their open faced roast beef sandwich. Thank you! read more

staff was so sweet and food tasted so good!!! the dinner atmosphere was also very classic and enjoyable to be in :) read more

This is a cool diner with an old school vibe and it also is a fantastic option for as they also stay open late. I sampled their cheeseburger and really enjoyed that experience here. They have lots of neon lights that really help give this spot a great ambiance along with offering a good variety of daily specials to keep things interesting. Overall this is an all around good spot to grab some classic American food along with a few local Louisiana options. My video review of Big Easy Diner is here: https://youtu.be/dbCWFZuaQO4 read more

I am normally big on diner food so I was excited to stop in and try Big Easy after being told it was quite good. I will preface it by saying they were very busy when we came, but we spent forever waiting to get seated and even longer to get service once we were. Seemed like as we got seated was when the staff got a break from being busy so we were an after thought. The food was good, or this rating would be lower. Will go back sometime and hope to get a day with less business. read more

You know the vibe. A comforting, no frills meal with great service. I love coming here with my family!

Our group "Happy Hearts" went dancing at nursing home then to eat at Big Easy Diner - there was 11 of us. The meal was delicious - the gentleman that waited on us, I believe Matt, was absolutely amazing and on point with everything for our order . Highly recommend this place for any yummy food you may want. Some had breakfast and some lunch - bottom line - delicious!! Kathy read more

When visiting Slidell, this is our go to breakfast place. Great food, service and modern diner setting. Plenty of good options besides just basic eggs and bacon. I'm a fan of eggs Benedict and there's is good. read more

Excellent breakfast! The service was friendly and accurately taken! Nostalgic atmosphere!

The food is awesome and huge portions!! Several of the dinner items could easily be shared between 2 people! The service is amazing and staff is super friendly!!! The ambiance and environment is super super relaxed and enjoyable like an ole school diner!!!! Highly recommend them to anyone!! read more

We stop here as often as we can. We live an hour away and it never disappoints! We are convinced that they make the absolute best pancakes in the world! They don't even need syrup! My husband loves their Philly cheesesteak. We usually order a bunch of diner staples and just share everything since it's too hard to decide. The club sandwich with fries always hits the spot. Eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon. Can we talk about the pancakes? Just downright deliciousness. This batter is homemade and tastes of vanilla, buttermilk and we can't get enough of them. We also love their patty melt. I don't think that you can go wrong with any dish from here. The servers are always the nicest and it's such a cute diner! read more

The vibe of the place gave retro which is nice to see. The waitress was nice and the food came out fast. Also, It was pretty clean in there. But! the food had NO seasoning! It was blanddddddd, ya hear me! It tasted like they didn't even try! I had the patty melt with a side of hash brown and my husband had the steak & eggs with buttered texas toast. The only thing that tasted good was the toast read more

Been in Slidell a couple of days now, went to Big Easy on a local recommendation and now I've been twice. This place is great!! Day one to day two different meats same great taste and service!! If you leave hungry, that's on you! My only dislike is the griddled toast, I prefer it in a toaster. I'll see them tomorrow for breakfast as well! read more

Atmosphere of an old diner and very friendly service. Food choices are many and breakfast was very good.

Love Love Love this Diner! The menu selections are amazing! You can order breakfast anytime of day and the food quality is terrific. The staff is also fast and friendly. We had Michelle as our server during this last dining experience and I thought she did an great job. You could tell she was a veteran server. I am pretty sure she had the most tables and did not slow her down one bit. Wonderful dining experience and I will definitely keep coming back. Thanks again Michelle! read more

Ordered chicken and waffles breakfast-it was horrible. Waffles were not cooked through and chicken batter fell off. Then ordered steak and egg with hash browns. Ordered medium rare and got well done. Like shoe leather. What ever happened to their cook!! Food was tasteless. read more

I see signage for "Diner" and I'm on my way. Big Easy Diner is a "Diner" concept restaurant. Not really a diner but designed to invoke a feeling of the 1950's. Kind of disappointing not to find some delightful and charming diner that's been slinging hash for 60+ years. Food was fine, as was the service. Nothing special. It you are fortunate enough to live near a "real diner", go out and support them. read more

Service here is great. Definitely a homey environment. Our waitress really hustled and worked too hard. She had a lot of tables (and it seemed like no help from others). Yet we did not feel like she forgot about us. The food is basic dinner food at decent prices. I liked the corned beef came in patty form. The pancakes are fluffy. I did not like that the biscuits were drowned in gravy. I could not tell if the biscuits were baked correctly because the gravy just over took the integrity of the biscuits. read more

Great place, excellent service, delicious food. This is a Slidell must try. Portions are weird, but this is a great place

I had breakfast here and I must say that it was very good. Service was good and the place has that classic diner feel. The food is your typical stuff that you would expect to find in a diner. I in no way mean this in a negative way. There is something to be said about some good old classic American diner food. If you find yourself in the area and craving some simple food done right, I would definitely recommend here. read more

Fukin horrible, came in for breakfast for dinner my waitress was more interested in talking to the other waitress about whatever is going on in her life, offered no assistance didn't explain the menu didn't suggest anything. I had to ask if I was being punked. She didn't want to tell me her name because I asked her if she was at work or just chill at work. So so so disappointing!!!! read more

Food was great and our waitress, Michelle Wes even better we were just passing through and saw the sign with plenty of cars in the parking lot. read more

Great food, amazing service, and I want to go again! Would recommend to anyone . I hope everyone loves it here too!

Such a cute little diner for breakfast. My first time here and it was what I expected. Not a huge selection, but it had something for all of us. I had an omelet with bacon, cheese and mushrooms. It was more than enough food and exactly what I expected. Good hash browns too! My husband had the pancakes and bacon. You better be pretty hungry to finish that stack. Wow! Nice place, good prices and not too fancy. Good for the whole family. We'll be back. read more

The place was really gross. White ceiling tiles looked more like black tiles with white on them. Bathrooms were gross too. Hopefully the renovations help. read more

Stopped in on our long journey home to Boston. I was very happy with the level of service at this diner. The waitress was so nice and friendly and i never had an empty water glass! I had a delicious bacon and cheese omelet with hash browns. First time i have ever seen bacon on the top of an omelette but thankfully there was a lot inside as well! Very nice presentation and it was absolutely delicious. My friend was dissapointed because they were out of french toast. But yet we all got toast with our meals....odd. read more

Been there once and I am going back for seconds their mustard greens were out of sight, sooo good!
