    The food is very fresh and healthy great ambiance and the service was excellent. I had ice unsweetened tea and the bird man jr. This has roasted chicken, purple slaw, with MJ sauce which is a spicy aioli sauce with pickles and Swiss. This sandwich had good bite and tasted fresh and healthy with a good spicy and sweet acidic balance. I expected more punch from the flavors, but overall for most this would be a good choice. I have had the Larry bird and had more punch probably the avocado. I will be back to try other sandwiches and bowls. The homemade chips were about 50% crispy versus soggy or stale. But when you make the effort I I give kudos for healthier option without preservatives. I recommend the Good Bird. Hopefully I get more consistent chips next time and bring experience to full 5 stars. Great place to get lunch they also have breakfast available. See menu pictures.

    Buddha Bowl with roasted chicken... chef's kiss all the way!

    The Buddha Bowl is a BLAST of flavor and color and nutritional enrichment! I highly recommend everyone try this dish when in New Orleans. Everyone goes to visit and totally overindulge- so when it's time to head back to the airport, stop by Good Bird and get your life back together! LOL. You won't regret it .. food so good it seems wrong!

    The best Caesar dressing I've had in New Orleans! The wrap is a perfect option for a light lunch. And the potato chips were so delicious and very crunchy!

    I enjoyed the Good Bird near Tulane. The location is convenient, it has a good amount of seating and some great food options. I ordered the Greek salad made gluten free with chicken on top. It was ready pretty fast and had a good amount of chicken in it. The staff were friendly:)

    This place is legit delicious! Finally some good healthy rotisserie chicken that tastes absolutely delicious. Not dry and gross like most rotisserie chickens sitting out for a long time. Upon entering the cafe is laid back and quite clean. I like my cafes clean as it speaks to the general hygiene of the place. I did notice this lovely lady cleaning and removing dishes non-stop. She was very diligent and even came to take my plates away even though they have a drop zone for cutlery, plates, etc. she didn't need too, but she did. So 5 / 5 for her alone. Now the food.... You order by the counter and they bring the food to your table. I ordered the south west salad ( no bacon) and my hubby had the good bird. The food came out pretty quickly and it looked great. The salad was absolutely delicious - fresh and just tasty! I tasted the good Bird sandwich and oh boy was that delicious. The bread was so light and fresh and the ratios were just spot on. If you haven't tried it - go try it!! Parking is off street and pretty easy to find.

    There is amazing natural lighting in the restaurant, which lends to the laid-back feel of the place. The customer service could improve a bit. It wasn't rude, but it wasn't overly warm either. Their engagement level with customers was about a four out of ten. I didn't see the Cobb salad that I ordered last time on the menu. It appeared that the menu had new salad choices. I opted for the Eagle Street salad this time. I was not impressed. The salad itself was pretty tasty, although it could have used a tad more salad dressing. What made the salad fail for me was the very bland rotisserie chicken. OMG, not only did it look undercooked, but where was the seasoning? If the chicken was cooked more to a golden brown and was seasoned, it would've been great. The chipotle avo toast was delicious. I absolutely loved it. The chipotle avo drizzle didn't add spice at all. It just gave it a more awesome taste.

    super fresh; super huge

    I came here for lunch one day. The place is really tiny and filled with lots of college students. The walk-up counter is great if you just want to order your food and leave; I decided to dine in. It is off street parking. Everything here was clean including the bathrooms. The staff were fine as well. I ordered the Sue Bird, this one had goat cheese and sweet potato chunks in it. I had never had a salad with sweet potatoes in it and I was very intrigued. I took my first bite and I first thought was how fresh it was, but then I started understanding the flavors and noticed how different it was. I wasn't sure that I liked it yet. I took more bites with the mix of the dressing and the goat cheese flavors and I liked it more and more. The bowl was a huge helping, you don't just get a side salad here, this a humungous entree salad here. In fact, I should have just eaten half, because towards the end, I started thinking I didn't like the sweet potato chunks as much and began to leave some of the chunks while I enjoyed the other parts of the salad. I really like the uniqueness of the salads here and I love the portion sizes. I only wish there were more salad options here. I will be back though.

    In the window next to my table. Who doesn't love a succulent?

    I had such a nice lunch today at Good Bird. I ordered the Sue Bird salad, and added chicken. The salad was delicious, and I could tell the ingredients used were of excellent quality. The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked - tender and sweet, the goat cheese was rich and tangy, and the chicken was fork tender. The space is bright, cheery, and you can speak in normal tones. Really sweet spot.

    Good Bird sandwich!! Delicious

    First time at Good Birds. Was in the mood for a salad and came across this place. The salad was absolutely amazing. Only took about 3 mins to get my order. Staff was friendly and environment was clean and welcoming. Would give 5 stars but would like to try more menu items first.

    I came back to try one of their shocks sandwiches because I'm a huge fan of their veggie sandwiches. I would definitely recommend getting the sandwich in wrap form since it's lighter and you can taste more of the flavor. Quite ironically I enjoyed everything on the sandwich besides the chicken. The cuts are way too thick and chunky, and dry. I ended up taking most of the meat out

    We stopped at Good Bird for a quick and easy lunch and it really hit the spot. The food came out quickly and was very fresh. Loved the sweet potato bites and the grilled chicken sandwich was very flavorful. Service was great as well. The menu offers plenty of options including salads as well. A tasty and quick spot!

    If you are reading this, which of course I know you are, BE PREPARED FOR A LONG WAIT! If you read…read morethe whole review I'll give you the best tip on how to skip the line (insert shushing emoji) and don't cheat by skipping to the end! Hands down, the best po'boys in all of NOLA. Everything is made from scratch (except the bread, which they source locally), and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the Surf & Turf and the James Brown. The Surf & Turf gives you get the best of both worlds (shout out to Hannah Montana). Look it up kids. You get the slow-cooked roast beef with gravy plus fresh Gulf shrimp. Shut the front door! The James Brown is just as incredible: juicy BBQ beef, pepper jack cheese, fried shrimp, and a hot sauce mayo. Bring napkins - you'll need them. Pro tip: go with a group and order a few different po'boys to share. You'll want to try everything. You made it to the end, so here we go. I feel like gate keeping (look it up old-timers), but I'm going to be generous because I love y'all. In order to skip the line, go to the bar area and find a high top or seat at the bar. A seat always opens up quickly. It never fails. You can order from the bartender and the service is top notch. Cheers y'all!

The ambiance is great and unique, very nice I had the BBQ Shrimp Po-Boy and it was great. I can't say it blows away other Po-Boy shops. But, I can say it is a great Po-Boy, if that is what you're looking for... so, why the missing star ??? It's the fries , average at best. For a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant, I expect better. Fries are nothing special (IMO). While service was good, because they allow ordering food from the bar and because the bar is encountered before the regular ordering window... people tend to order there and make it difficult for people like me to obtain a second Mango Margarita. I did score a 2nd one, but I almost didn't... we need to figure out how to keep the drinkers happy

As someone who is in her mocktail era I really enjoyed that they had none alcoholic spirits. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and truely made you feel like you were part of the gang. In 2025 it's hard to find a "third space" somewhere you can hangout for a while, talk with friends, make new friends, and really just enjoy yourself. That's what makes The Dog House so great, it's bringing back to third space vibes one drink at a time.

It was good, a little salty. But its not as tender as a beef burger. It was a nice change up. The pickles were good. We ordered some to go. ( take with you or they can ship to your house). The burger itself was filling to me. Rest of my party bbq pork and fish platter. Hush puppies were okay, they give so much. I could honestly do without it. Everyone was satisfied. 2nd visit ordered the porchetta . That was really good. Ordered a mac and cheese. It has breadcrumbs on top it comes in a small dish that i feel like is shareable. It wasn't bad actually ( ive had worse lol). One of the workers did really suggest it. I was willing to try it. It was edible, no cheese pull but also not just buttered noodles. Depending on my mood I might get it again. Porchetta and the leadership pig, I think the porchetta was better but both are great and filling.

Well, this little mom and pop store beside the highway in Mid-city is about as authentic as it comes, but not for poboys, for Cuban food. I can say with confidence that they do the best Cuban sandwich in NOLA. And it costs less than $5. They are super fast. Expect to be in and out in 5 minutes every time. Sin falta. Fastest Cuban granny this side of the Florida straits! They also do a first rate hot lunch: beans and rice, yuca with mojo, roast pork, and flan. Ropa vieja. Anything Cuban, they'll do it. Pre-Katrina it was a full scale operation, but the grandma who forms the foundation for the enterprise now just does food to go at the back of the grocery store. My wife is Cuban, and let me tell you that this place is the real deal...better than the real deal because the family who runs it came over just after the revolution and combines all they know about their country's pre-Castro cuisine with New Orleans knack for kick it up a notch flavor. But loyal to the wonderfulness of their culture, they don't ruin the original, which is even rarer. Instead they improve upon it, but with finesse. Roast pork, ham, swiss, pickle and mustard, perfectly pressed together with a Bustelo coffee and plantain chips?
