    This place rocks! Ordered a medium slushee with watermelon and pina colada. Very good! Stays frozen. You are able to walk the streets with the slushee too.

    I was so excited when I saw Fat Tuesday because I always go when I am in Vegas. The drinks are consistent and all flavors are tasty. The strawberry is my fave and go-to drink. The electric lemonade is also very good. And strawberry and mango together is probably my favorite combo. My mom likes the strawberry and pina colado, which is a popular combo. The lady working was super friendly and nice. I like that you can buy drinks to go and walk the streets with them here in NOLA. I tried the strawberry Jell-O shot, and I would not recommend. It was horrible. But I love the choices in sizes and some of the larger cups are refillable for a cheaper price, so if you're gonna drink or be here for a few days it's probably worth it to get the refillable cups. It's dead inside because most people take their drinks and leave to walk around the streets and explore.

    If you like strong alcoholic slushies, then this is the place for you! I've had Fat Tuesdays in Vegas before and didn't realize they also operated in New Orleans. When I walked by some folks holding that distinctive shaped-cup, I was immediately intrigued and got it when I saw the store. We went in around 10 pm on a Wednesday and it was super empty. They have 2 tables in the back, but for the most part I think people grab a drink and leave (yay for the open container policy in New Orleans!). I got their smallest size, a regular cup, for $11. They have a ton of flavors, but I kept it simple and went with the frozen margarita, which was absolutely delicious. I love alcoholic slushies, so stores like Fat Tuesday were made for people like me :)

    OMG how have I never been to a Fat Tuesday before?! Apparently it's a chain but this was my first time seeing one, and since trying them that first day, I went back everyday until I finally left New Orleans. Lol. I thought the concept was pretty cool, with the wall of spiked slushy machines filling up the wall behind the bar. The daquiries and spiked slushies are pre-mixed and are organized from strongest to weakest. They allow two samples and they also let you mix flavors. Since l went back several times, I actually tried most of their flavors and my favorites were the Electric lemonade, peach bellini, and pineapple and amaretto. I think I was just in the mood for tropical slushies at the times I stopped by, which was usually in the afternoon when it was blazing hot out. Anyways, Fat Tuesday's alcoholic slushies are the perfect pick-me-up on a hot a day, or anytime really!

    $25......

    Not worth it. I used to be a huge Fat Tuesday fan, but $25 for a frozen drink is wild. That's a bottle price lol

    Super fun! Always great to get a slushy on Bourbon Street. Both drinks were strong and tasted great.

    Wanna get your daiquiri on? There are several of these dotted all around the French Quarter. Have you even been to Bourbon Street if you're not walking around with one of these? Tasty, frozen and refreshing, the only complaint is they are quite expensive.

    These drinks are strong. These drinks are frozen. These drinks are affordable. Sorry...what else is there? The 190 Octane is strong and tastes like Orange. This is exactly what I need on a 90+ degree night in the Quarter. More please!

    I got pina colada and strawberry mixed. Taste ok but it was annoying carrying the bottle on bourbon st. However i feel if u come to Nola u should try for the experience. Its a takeout place.

    I love this place, I have always been but in other cities but never on Bourbon. It was worth the trip. I couldn't finish my slushie, I got the biggest one. The ladies in there were the best, the sweetest attitudes and such shinning personalities. They add to the magic of Bourbon St.

    $15 each, BUT $10 to refill, so worth it, especially if you drink more than 2

    Delicious and strong daiquiris. First, the daiquiris are in order from strongest to weakest, 2nd get the $15 cup in the Koozie, its $10 to refill, best bang for your buck, 3rd ALWAYS get the extra shot, whether its well or top shelf, GET IT, 4th ask for samples. The fruit basket and the panty dropper were my absolute favorites.

    Ever since discovering this chain just this past March in Tempe, AZ, I've been to two additional locations all by chance, in Key West, FL and this one in New Orleans on Bourbon Street which I believe is their number two location to open after the original one in Hammond, LA. ATMOSPHERE: They're located in the heart of the bustling portion of Bourbon Street. I didn't get to poke around the place as I had one mission: A Creamsicle daiquiri to go. The large bar greets you with the numerous daiquiri machines churning a colorful palette of flavors as its enticing backdrop. DAIQUIRI: I simply love their daiquiris but order the same thing, the Creamsicle, a tri-combination of flavors which are 190 Octane, 151 Colada and Banana. It has Everclear in it so you'll be feeling real good after just one. All three locations have been consistently good; thick, icy, perfect sweetened and with the right amount of alcohol to mix ratio. They're available in four sizes (12, 20, 32, 40 oz.). The 20 oz. has been my go-to so far. Taste-wise its like a blended creamsicle popsicle which you can't really taste the Everclear but you'll definitely feel it after! I've never had a drink that tasted so good and is able to relax and make me happy all at the same time. FACT: Established in 1983, they're two companies in one. New Orleans Original Daiquiris that serves just daiquiris, and Fat Tuesday which serves daiquiris and food. SERVICE: I don't expect much as I'd be immune too with the numerous faces, some drunken, they see day in and day out. Machine-like works for me! Just make my drink and don't steal my credit card info and we're good to go. OVERALL: I'd love a location on Maui but not so sure if my liver and waistline would agree.

The highlight of the meal was easily the CALAS appetizer. The snapper pastrami brought a wonderful smoky depth that paired beautifully with the horseradish cream, and it was one of the few dishes that felt balanced, intentional, and memorable. A genuinely excellent start. Things became more disappointing once the entrees and cocktails arrived. The Rohan duck breast itself was cooked very well -- tender, properly rendered, and clearly prepared with care -- but what was never communicated by the staff was just how sweet the overall composition of the dish would be. Pairing that with cocktails that also leaned heavily sweet made the entire meal feel one-note and overwhelming by the midpoint of dinner. The red beans and rice suffered from the same issue. Despite the spice topping, the dish skewed surprisingly sweet and didn't complement the duck at all. What frustrated me most was that this felt entirely avoidable. At a restaurant with a cocktail reputation this strong, I would expect the wait staff to guide guests toward drinks that balance the meal rather than amplify the sweetness already present in multiple courses. Instead, no recommendations or warnings were offered, and the meal suffered because of it. I was especially underwhelmed by the Harlequin cocktail, which seems to receive a massive amount of online hype. In practice, it simply didn't justify the reputation. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the complexity and "wow" factor you would expect from a signature drink that's so heavily talked about. Overall, there are flashes of excellence here, particularly in the appetizer course and technical preparation, but the lack of thoughtful service and pairing guidance made the experience feel far less polished than advertised.

Walking in at 1:30 on a beautifully sunny Wed, we fully expected a wait. Instead, our two empty seats beckoned to us like a pretty girl winking at us across a bar in college. Marvin has been promoted to Beverage Manager. He left his bar in very good hands. The two young dudes carrying his torch were great. Very friendly and well aware each time we finished our drink and needed a reload. They're well-trained in the art of concocting the Sazerac we love. Sitting for 2 hours watching the regular turnover of the precious seats at the Carousel is still big fun. And having a friendly chat with the constant turnover of strangers sitting next to us is part of the unique charm of the Carousel Bar. As we were leaving Corey the bartender let us know management is shutting down next month for a few weeks for much needed repairs & renovations so the Carousel can add another 50-60 years to its legacy.

We got there at 10:55am and there was a little line. When the doors opened, Oddly enough, there was a party of 5 sitting inside already?!?? Our bartender W took a while to come get our drink order and took longer to get, one of us never even got our beer. I pointed at someone's drink and told W I wanted that, the martini special. How is he gonna make me the drink minus the Baileys?!? I pointed to the drink I wanted, simple. My bf ordered a Abita, guess what 45 mins passed and he NEVER got his beer. We asked for the check and W said "oh your beer". Bro just give us the check and take off the beer. Worst service I've ever experienced. How you going to forget about someone's drink who's sitting right in front of you drink-less plus make a drink wrong. The carousel sits about 25 people and there's 2 bartenders?!? This isn't a club where drinks are getting shouted out. The only thing they have going for them is the rotating carousel bar if the SD one didn't close, I'd say pass and go to that one instead. One and done for me. Good luck if you get W as your bartender! And sir, no I'm not coming back after the game for you to make it right, make it right the first time!
