    Pineapple hibiscus lemonade
    John B.

    Salad restaurants fill a fairly narrow niche in my book; after all, you can just buy some ingredients and put them together yourself. Nonetheless, when I did need a quick lunch in the area of Old Metairie and didn't have the luxury of having a lot of fresh ingredients on hand, this place filled that niche pretty well. I did not have time to customize a salad, which I would like to have done. Nonetheless, their standard Southwest salad did well for me, with some black beans and avocado getting me to where I wanted to go nutritionally. The lemonade I ordered was tasty enough, and it was a time-efficient stop. More expensive than a trip to the farmer's market? Probably, but convenient and healthy and worth a stop when that's what you need.

    BBQ Chicken

    High prices but good product, so you get what you pay for. Miss the Elmwood location but Metairie Road is the exact same -- and maybe even less busy -- so it's a good option. Wish there were more options but orders are easy to customize. Staff is helpful enough. Music is often...odd but nothing to be mad about.

    What I ordered as advertised, chopped salad

    Ordered food to the hospital today on my lunch break and could not believe what they sent me for the price I paid. Would never order here again! Pics of what I ordered vs what I got

    The pink items circled in yellow are NOT tuna. As you can see there's only a few bites of tuna and even lesser of mango.

    Yes Yuz salad had like 3-4 bites of tuna for almost $13! Not to mention only about 2 pieces of mango and the rest of the was greens and red onions. Completely overpriced and basic. However, the Thai Chicken wrap was delicious! It was fully loaded for $9. Seriously, there was more protein in half of the wrap than the entire salad! Stick with the wraps. Not sure if we picked the wrong salad, but I'll never order another tuna or seafood salad here. For the price I'll go elsewhere and get at least 3x+ the quantity and higher quality of seafood.

    I wanted to give this place one last go. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money. The beet street salad, typically made with field greens was "served"w ith romaine. I quote that, because the bowl was barely half full. I went to check out and after having my credit card run the employee had already hit the 18% gratuity button. Shady, lady. Unfortunate for you, I usually tip 20-25% having been in the service industry most of my college life. The place seemed dirty, dreary... I won't be returning.

    Fruit bowls!
    Candis H.

    I can't thank city greens enough! I work at a hospital in an intensive care unit and dealing with the COVID-19 patients. My parents wanted to order food for the unit, I reached out and contacted City Greens. They were so accommodating, kind and professional. We ordered 4 different wraps and fruit bowls for everyone. The wraps were absolutely delicious!!!!! I had a southwest wrap and a turkey avocado one. The food was fresh, presented nicely, tasted amazing! I can't wait to go and eat here in person once everything goes back to normal. Until then, I would 10/10 recommend them. Thank you again City Greens!

    Trendy salad bar in Old Metairie. The set up reminded me of the salad bars I've been to when I lived in NYC. I got mixed greens with mozzarella, avocado, tomatoes, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Overall, I enjoyed my salad. It was fresh and tasty. With that said, there could've been a bit more dressing, and the chicken was a bit chewy/dry. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but definitely very good! As far as cost, I paid almost $15 for my salad and a bottle of water, and as much as I enjoyed my salad it definitely was not big enough to justify the cost. I'd go back again since there aren't too many salad bars in the area, and like I said I really did enjoy my salad, it's just not a place I'd necessarily frequent given the cost.

I pulled up on a Sunday and since I called it in just under an hour before closing, I decided to get it to go. I ordered it about twenty minutes out and when I arrived, it was ready. The takeout process was in itself unique. I pulled up to what they called a "yellow tollbooth) to pay. He called on his radio that I paid and I pulled up to a covered door and they handed off my food. The overall ambiance from outside looked cool enough. Next time, I will eat it there, but I just did not want to be inconsiderate to everyone getting out on time. I found a local park and tore into my food. I went with the large surf and turf po' boy (roast beef and shrimp) and found it very good. For the price point, out the door with taxes, it was just over twenty dollars.

The capers and olive oil really paired well with it. We met one of the chef-owners and she was very helpful and kind!

    The Good: The Staff was lovely and the Tostada was AMAZING!…read more The Bad: Everything else... Outside of the Tostadas, the food we had was shockingly bad. The fried "Captain's Platter" is $35, it's worth maybe $12. It was 4 shrimp, 4 oysters, and a decent sized piece of fish, all considerably over-fried, with fairly plain coleslaw and hushpuppies that looked like they had been cooking since the shift the day before. --- I honestly couldn't believe this was brought to the table, but it seemed normal so apparently that is how it is served there. It was VERY small and fairly overcooked. The boiled crabs were mush. Decent flavor, not great. Would not recommend. The charbroiled oysters again seemed to have been cooking for 3-4 times longer than they should have. They were rubber, flavorless and unappetizing to look at. They were pretty bad. - At least they were clean. I didn't get any shell. But I also didn't get any oyster in 1 of the 6 oysters served at $18. Then we got a Sausage Poboy. The sausage was decent, but the sandwich wasn't good. WHY WOULD YOU TOAST THE BREAD? NO ONE WANTS SAUSAGE BETWEEN TWO CROUTONS. Just kind of a weird mistake that makes you wonder if anyone there has tried to eat any of their own food. Because it's not easy... Honestly 90% of the food we got there was pretty bad. But we will be back for Tostada alone. That was phenomenal. 10/10 Delicious.

Both were delicious as well. The inside is very beautiful and bright with lovely decor. It did get very loud as the restaurant filled up so if you don't like having to talk very loud, you may want to sit outside.

    Liuzza's By The Track: Where New Orleans Keeps It Real…read more Liuzza's By The Track is one of those New Orleans neighborhood institutions that doesn't need to reinvent itself to remain relevant. Established and deeply rooted in the local dining scene, it has long been known by locals and discovered by visitors, helped in part by its proximity to the Fair Grounds Race Course, where the city's legendary Jazz Fest comes alive each spring. But the real attraction is much simpler: good New Orleans food without the fuss. Liuzza's embodies the city's traditional, no-nonsense approach to dining. The atmosphere is casual, the food is straightforward, and the emphasis is where it belongs--on flavor. It is the kind of place where you come to eat rather than be impressed by culinary theatrics. And then there is the barbecue shrimp pistolet. New Orleans is rightly famous for its barbecue shrimp, and there is certainly no shortage of restaurants that prepare an excellent version of the dish. But Liuzza's does something particularly New Orleans with it: they put those succulent, sauce-soaked shrimp into a pistolet, creating a sandwich that is both simple and remarkably satisfying. So, if you find yourself at the French Quarter Festival craving a barbecue shrimp pistolet, you don't necessarily have to wander around searching for the festival booth that serves one. Liuzza's By The Track is the destination. And unlike a temporary festival offering, this is the real deal--a specialty worth making a trip across the city for. There are plenty of places in New Orleans where you can enjoy excellent barbecue shrimp. But if your craving is specifically for a barbecue shrimp pistolet, the choice becomes considerably easier.
