Dr. Jones is a casual restaurant in a strip mall. The restaurant is extremely small and has limited seating. The menu was eclectic and I was skeptical, but the food was delicious. We started with the Jumbo Lump Crabmeat Tagliatelle w/ Chilli Buerre Blanc & Dill and it was a great start to the meal. For my entree, I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp w/ Rice. It was savory and full of flavor. I will be back to explore the menu, but with hopes that the menu will change or expand. read more

The food was good but not exceptional. The mussels were good but the broth didn't have the depth of flavor that I've had at other places in town and look for. The toast points with the mussels were over oiled. We had the beet salad with feta it was nice, fresh fruit and herbs with the tangy cheese worked really well. My wife had the jumbo lump tagliatelle, it was good but not great, a crab pasta that most places in New Orleans can meet if not beat. The dining area was loud and tight and could turn unpleasant if anyone decides to move around or stand up too fast. The service was disjointed, my mussels came out a couple minutes after the pasta, and that seemed pretty standard as we watched them serve the tables around us. read more

Strip mall fine dining, where you find the best in this town now. Small space, kind of loud so we had to talk over everyone else, but it was happy noise. Service was aces. $$ but not pretentious Metairie fine dining. You want to eat this. Go!! read more

The food was incredible and absolutely delicious. The service was quick, warm, and friendly. The ambience was really cool, there's only about five or six tables inside, and the servers were very attentive. We loved everything we had here, and we will definitely be driving out to Metairie again for Dr. Jones! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6mg3XRy/ read more

Had a great lunch here recently with great friends. I believe reservations are a must as the number of seats are limited. The hostess also served as the waitress and was very helpful and attentive. I ordered several small plates for my meal. I had the fried oysters, beet salad, and shrimp bisque. The fried oysters were delightfully crisp with a wonderful and unusual sauce and salad. At first, I had the thought of asking for tartar sauce, but as soon as I ate the oyster with the salad and sauce, I was excited by the flavors presented. The shrimp bisque was also a surprise. Instead of the traditional creamy bisque, this one had a brown, very flavorful broth. Much more like a great gumbo than a bisque, but I loved it and could have licked the bowl for the wonderful sauce. The last was the beet salad and it was the least exciting. Although good, I have had better beet salads. read more

Great Realatively new place. Small, casual, eclectic. But wonderful, freshly prepared menu.Gnocchi! Oysters! Melon feta! Bread! Scampi! I`d go back in a heartbeat. From an experienced chef ! BYOB. read more

The space is gorgeous. Fine dining. $$$ for the value in my opinion. We just wanted to grab dessert $12 for a 2x2 square of bread pudding is kinda bonkers. We ordered it because we saw reviews and all the photos got a larger square than we got. We did order to go, but if the price is the same so should the portion. We won't be back but I would recommend you try it once. read more

The food and service were very good. I ordered the mushroom gnocchi and my husband ordered the steak au poivre. We shared the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was honestly delicious. My only critique is that the restaurant is tiny and where we sat felt very cramped. I would rate the food quality and creativity of the menu somewhere between four and five stars; I just wish the tables weren't so tiny and squished together. read more

This little hole in the wall on Veterans Highway has incredibly good food. Don't let the size of the restaurant or the location fool you. The service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back. read more

This tiny place is amazing! Seats maybe 20 people inside and four outside. On street and lot parking. Wood tables and slate floors. We had the tapioca and Camembert croquettes. Savory and rich with light breading and Parmesan sprinkle, grilled shrimp with spices on coconut rice with a miirliton slaw. Lightly spicy and very fresh. Also had the marinated cucumber with crispy buckwheat. Attentive service! Very friendly! BYOB! sodas and water. Make reservations online for larger groups! Vegetarian friendly! read more

Dr. Jones restaurant - Menu June 27 , 3025 - Southern Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Looking for a gem? Look no further.... You simply can't pass it up. Small with a powerful punch doesn't equate to my impression of the food nor the service. This place deserves more publicity than it's getting but I personally love the small feel. No way we can hold them from growing based off of the lunch I just had but it's my hope they remember the small things. We had the crispy oysters and salmon as apps. F'n phenomenal! Then the fish sandwich and jumbo shrimp as entrees. My friend said the fish sandwich(drum) was great. The jumbo shrimp wasn't what I expected but I prefer it how it was served. Kudos to these guys. Nothing short of superb! read more

My friend and I ate at Dr. Jones's on January 27, 2026. I had their fish sandwich which was grouper, to be honest the fish wasn't bad tasting but the bun was mediocre at best and the sandwich only came with potato chips. My friend had the oysters which he said wasn't bad however, both of us left the restaurant still hungry so we're now eating at another place to get full. I think for the price they charge they are way overpriced and unfortunately, as much as I wanted to like the place I will not be going back. They also have a very limited menu and they don't offer any sides with your dishes you order. read more

Got to try Dr. Jones today on a friend's recommendation. I was absolutely thrilled I listened. Just walking in, the smell of savory flavors filled the air and built an instant appetite. The space is very cozy and inviting, perfect afternoon feel. We had : Meat Pies Onion ring fritters Mirliton and cabbage salad Roasted Eggplant Crispy sweet potatoes & Bread pudding Every single dish was superb. Full of flavor, filling and very nicely presented. Service was excellent, friendly and over all environment was great. I could be a regular here. read more

I already can't wait to go back. One of the best restaurants in the city! The food was absolutely incredible; the flavors, textures was of such a high culinary expertise. Our attendant took excellent care of us, and what seems like the entire restaurant seamlessly and with such courteousness, please let him know what a wonderful job that he did. We've had food from other highly decorated restaurants in New Orleans that did not impress nearly as much. It is cozy, but comfortable, although when full it can get a bit noisy. BYOB, which is great! We will absolutely be back, sooner rather than later. read more

Excellent food and service. Small and mighty for sure. We had a larger group and it was incredible. Highly recommend.

The food was awesome- there was a group of us, so we tried almost everything. Great menu- very unique. If I had to pick one dish to try, it would be the crispy chicken bites. The honey butter sauce was perfect. read more
