Recently ate at this restaurant, and although the food was really good, their service needs MUCH improvement. We had reservations for 7:15pm, but didn't get seated until 7:40. Granted, it was a Saturday, but with reservations, we should have been seated fairly quickly. Once seated, the waiter took nearly 30 minutes getting our drinks and appetizers orders. Appetizers took another 30/40 minutes to come out. After I've an hour has passed and still no meal orders have been taken. We literally had to search for our waiter to get it taken. So, a dinner that should have only taken an hour and a half, tops, turned into 3+ hours long! Oh, and the icing on the cake (no pun intended) was the desserts we ordered never came. We were literally walking out the restaurant and the waiter was bringing them to us as we left. Do better Katie's! read more

Best neighborhood restaurant around! Does not matter what you order from menu, it always delivers! The daily specials are always on point! Place is so good I went back to back days last week! Staff and service are a reflection of ownership, which continues to promote excellence throughout this place! They have a sister restaurant in Lakeview that over delivers as well, called Francesca's. I've been multiple times and it's fire! read more

What??!! This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in in my entire 50-year-old life! We have been coming to New Orleans a couple times a year from Southern California for about the last 10 years or so and I'm upset that no one even recommended this place!! We are here for the Essence Festival and I just so happen to be rapping to one of the security officers at the convention center, and she recommended this place. I want to go back & give her the biggest hug and kiss on the cheek! It is ridiculous how flavorful everything was! Just didn't make any sense! Lol lol I've sent this location to everyone I know that travels to New Orleans. The price is great, and the portions are very healthy! This restaurant in California would be almost double what your bill is going to be. There was three people at the table & we ordered four appetizers..... (which was all we really needed)... and everyone agreed 1 out of 10, they gave it a 10!! this restaurant is a must to try when visiting or even if you live in the city! So much good food to eat, but this is by far the best restaurant I've ever been to in New Orleans! read more

We had a great evening at Katie's. We started off with a drink and charbroiled oysters. They were amazing. Perfectly broiled with butter, cheese, garlic and delicious We also had the seafood stuff mushrooms which were great. The crawfish beignet a large portion. All perfect for sharing. Lastly the redfish topped with lump crabmeat and fresh vegetables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lively crowd of all ages.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only issue was that the restaurant did not have our reservation made with Yelp. But the greeter was so kind, asked it was with Yelp and she did say they are experiencing issues. She cleared a table and we were seated quickly. (I do have the yelp confirmation, btw). This was our 4th time there and very good to great each time. read more

We had a fantastic dining experience at Katie's on our last night in New Orleans! We were actually sent here by the tellers at Chase Bank when we asked where the locals go for great food that isn't a tourist spot, and we're so glad we took their recommendation. Our waitress, Deseree, was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and a big part of what made our evening so enjoyable. We started with the eggplant fries, which were absolutely delicious. My son enjoyed the pasta and chicken, my husband had the ribs, and my dad and I shared a pizza. Every dish was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and served in generous portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The ambiance was charming and full of authentic New Orleans character, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We even brought home the vanilla bread pudding to enjoy later because we couldn't pass it up! From the excellent food to the outstanding service, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Deseree, for making our final evening in New Orleans such a memorable one. We highly recommend Katie's to anyone looking for authentic local dining, delicious food, and exceptional service! read more

Came in for a late lunch/early dinner based on Yelp. Had Crawfish beignet and Remmy stack. Crawfish beignet was okay, but the Remmy stack was fried green tomato heaven. The Delta Bayou pasta was huge! Our Boudreaux pizza was burnt on the bottom. Service was outstanding which kept this from being a 3 star review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved all the local sports memorabilia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My family came here for my dad's birthday. We had reservations but still had to wait about 20 mins because "people were just hanging out & didn't want to leave." It was sooo many people waiting out in the heat-we waited in the car until a text came saying our table was ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was packed wall to wall downstairs so we were sat upstairs which wasn't much better. It was small and LOUD.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was very nice and attentive. Everyone's food was hot and tasty. The only hiccup with the food was my brother ordered a veggie muffulata & they brought him one with meat-he is a vegetarian. They literally didn't bring the correct sandwich until all of us had finished eating. They offered to take half off but when I received the bill I saw they comped it completely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Again, everyone was nice but the environment was a bit too small and overstimulating for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Katie's dates back to the same year as the New Orleans World's Fair, a span of time I would wager is larger than the age of most readers here. The restaurant's tenure is not hard to understand. They serve a variety of items, as exemplified by the selections made by our party of four: A classic cheeseburger, pasta with shrimp, a chicken quesadilla, and a rack of ribs. If we had a 5th diner, he or she could have had pizza. (The Burger Eater in our party commented that she would never order a pizza from a place that offered so many other types of items, as side gig pizzas in her experience have always been mediocre.) To judge only by the popularity and appearance of pizzas emerging from the kitchen, the pizzas looked worthy of a return trip. Another remarkable aspect were the generous portions. All four of us took home leftovers. It's rare these days to be surprised by low prices or or larger than expected plates. Katie's is a pleasant double surprise on both fronts. The crab cake appetizer Is big enough to serve as a meal and delicious, accompanied by two sauces, one of which is a rémoulade. Bacon and blue cheese fries with garlic oil is as decadent as it sounds. Our experience was on Mother's Day, which is crazily popular time for this kind of restaurant. Despite having a reservation we had to wait about 45 minutes on the sidewalk, but that was pleasant enough as there was seating and lush plants all around. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once inside, I checked in on Yelp and wavered between "loud" and "very loud" when asked about the atmosphere. Ultimately I chose "loud" because we could still carry a conversation at the table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I selected the ribs because other reviewers, notably some from Texas, called them out as the best in New Orleans. They are tender and come slathered with a sweet sticky sauce. I was glad I got the full rack to have some to take home, as the full Rack appears larger then twice the size the half racks emerging from the kitchen. As for "best," I'll reserve judgment; New Orleans now has a broad enough barbecue scene to satisfy a diverse range of taste. For those who like sweet wet ribs these are a sure bet. Service was pushed to the limit but still friendly and fairly prompt under the busy circumstances. Five stars, for consistently good food across four very different categories, all at reasonable prices. read more

We heard about Katie's from our great Lyft driver Troy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was cool casual. Tin ceilings with a chill vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait staff was friendly, fast and attentive. We had a Caesar salad, cheesy toast with amazing red sauce gravy. Also a 1/2 rack of ribs, cole slaw and mashed potatoes and brown gravy. Everything was delicious. The ribs fell off the bone and the sauce was perfect. It was so good we came back the next day to eat the lasagna. It was so tasty. Love the sauce. This place is a must try. Enjoy! read more

The first time I came to NOLA, my friends and I came here twice on a 3 day weekend trip. The quality was amazing so we had to go back. Now I'm back in NOLA solo traveling and this was my first stop. I LOVE their oysters and it is a chill vibe inside. The service is good. It's a classic restaurant that is perfect for the family. The location is small but very popular so go when it isn't peak time! It's a NOLA staple. read more

Fiance and I came here for a late lunch after exploring City Park, and absolutely loved our experience here! Our Lyft dropped us off, and this place looked PACKED! I was nervous that we'd be waiting awhile, as some parties were seated on benches out front, so we walked in to assess what the wait time might be. To our surprise, there were a few seats open at the bar, so we squeezed in and started with some strong margaritas! Probably one of the best during our NOLA trip! We also had the charbroiled oysters which were on their happy hour specials so that was nice! They were soooo delicious!!! We both chose the Redfish which was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked! The summer squash it came with was also tasty! Despite them being slammed with guests (always a good indicator that the food is gonna be good!!!) we still had wonderful service. Happy we came here!!! read more

I finally got around to dining at Katie's while in town this week. After visiting NOMA that morning it was lunch time and Katie's is nearby. Not walking distance but a short streetcar ride away. It was busy at 12:30 pm when I arrived and there was a line waiting for a table but a few seats open at the bar which I took advantage of. My order was for a dressed grilled shrimp po boy for $18 and then to further sample the menu I added a bowl of chicken and andouille sausage gumbo for $9.50. I asked for the gumbo to arrive first and it did. The roux was dark chocolate with a mound of white rice on top. It was rich, flavorful and simply delicious. Perfect (5)!. That sausage was excellent too. The po boy arrived just after finishing the gumbo. It was on Gendusa bread which is soft and not crunchy. The shrimp were seasoned and with the lettuce, tomato and pickle tasted very good (4). I liked it and would be glad to order any po boy here. Finally the bar tender was warm and friendly waiting on me. By the way, Katie's charges extra if you use your credit card. It's called Dual Price on your ticket. I don't like that. This was a very good meal and I would be happy to return anytime. read more

Located within a neighborhood so parking will be slim if you're not there early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated upstairs where the fans were blowing and the A/C was kicking.

We stopped by here since it was in the neighborhood of our Airbnb and had good reviews. We were walk-ins on a Saturday during lunchtime and only had a 20-minute wait to be seated. We were placed at a 2-seat low top right near the bathroom entrance. Our appetizer was six charbroiled oysters, small but perfectly cooked. My son and I both enjoyed the seafood entrees: Delta Queen pasta and Shrimp Bucktown Alfredo. Both were delicious and plentiful, but did not come with any sides, such as a salad. The atmosphere is odd since it is a bar/restaurant based in an old neighborhood. Silverware wrapped in paper napkins and plastic cups for soda. TVs, a disco ball, and linoleum floors give the sports bar vibe. Service was okay, but our male server seemed distracted and wanted to be somewhere else. The food was excellent, but everything else was less than desirable. With our lunch being just south of $100 without alcoholic drinks, we would probably not return. read more

Katie's Restaurant & Bar - Soft Shell Crab and grits. - American Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I don't get the hype, tbh. The hostess stand is right by the door which causes a crowded waiting area with people waiting and people in line trying to get on the waiting list. They opened their back patio, which we didn't see, but I'm assuming this place is huge. They also have some tables outside on the sidewalk but weren't sitting people there. Service was nice and attentive. We had some dirty dishes served to us but was quickly replaced. The crawfish beignet was okay. It was dressing on top of a beignet which I expected like a stuffed beignet with crawfish. Oysters were alright. A lot of them had shell pieces that I had to spit out when downing eating the actual oyster. The cajun alfredo shrimp pasta was yummy, not as spicy as I thought it would be. In my experience, I felt like the food was mediocre for the wait and hype. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Idk, but it was a good try and they definitely are popular. They offer plenty of options too. It's a great place and I would come again, but I wouldn't wait over 30 min for it. read more

Katie's Restaurant & Bar - Cajun Alfredo shrimp pasta - American Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've been to a ton of places in New Orleans and Katie's might be one of my new top places to go to in the city. It's a no frills place because all of the effort goes into the food. We stopped by on a whim to try out the food and everything was amazing. When i say no frills, I mostly mean that's the goal of the restaurant is not to be fancy. It feels like walking into someone's home packed with tables of al sorts for dining, a bar and plenty of character. They also have more seating upstairs for when they are real packed. With that said, make sure you make reservations ahead of time because it can get real busy. Our server was great! Overall friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. She also gave us great recommendations on what to eat. The food was absolutely amazing. The crawfish beignet was delicious. I was nervous at first because I never had anything like it but I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. For my entree, I created my own pasta dish. It was alfredo linguine with fried shrimp and grilled chicken and it was sooooooo good and full of flavor with every bite. I wish I had it right now as I type this. So good! Overall Katie's was a wonderful time and I'll definitely add it to my 'must go to' list. The food stood out and I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. read more

I was excited to come for brunch at Katies because I've heard about it through friends & they have great reviews but I was not impressed. We had to put a credit card on file to make reservations and then when we got there, there was nowhere to park! Either take an Uber or arrive very early to drive around & look for parking. Then we went in & the place is tiny so even to speak to the hostess, there really wasn't much space to wait. We didn't get kids menu. I was excited to order the chicken & waffles but we were told they were out of waffles & pancakes... so ... I ordered the Seafood omelette. I thought for $22 it must be good. It really wasn't & it was supposed to come with fruit but I got 3 sad spinach leaves instead, so overall, the ambiance looks nice & the PoBoys looked good but I don't think I'll be back for brunch read more

The place is cute overall. There is seating inside or outside on the back patio. I enjoyed the ambiance as they played soft 90s Rnb. Now to the food: overall 8/10. We had the blue cheese fries and crawfish beignet as appetizers. The beignet was pretty tasty, cheesy, not too salty, and they didn't skimp on the crawfish. That was my favorite thing out of our order. Our table also had pizza, Katie's burger and poboy. All were well seasoned and we enjoyed our plates. I wouldn't recommend the sweet potatoes fries. They were stale but hopefully our batch was a one off. Plenty of parking in the street which is always a plus. read more

Wow! Katie's has been on my list of new experiences I wanted to try and I'm now upset I waited so long! I was with a large party for a birthday and was seated upstairs. It was a Sunday for Brunch and it was busy and had quite a wait. We had a reservation, definitely recommend to minimize the wait. I ordered the Froze', Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms, and the Paganini Flatbread w/ Grilled Shrimp. Each were on the appetizer menu so I assumed they would be small plates. I was wrong! It's definitely enough to share! I loved them both! The ingredients were so fresh, served hot, and my tastebuds danced from the very first bite! When I dine in again soon I want the exact same order! If I could rate them higher than a 5 Star I would! read more

First table to be seated on a Monday. We had a male server who was great! Overall, the food was good but I probably won't come back til next year. Everything was a little too salty for my liking. We got the crawfish beignet, delicious, but $20 is pretty steep for that appetizer. The Remmy poboy was good, but I felt like I was playing tug of war with the bread. VERY pickle forward (which I love), so if you are not a fan, I would skip this. Couldn't really taste the tomato. Reasonable pricing, but would skip. The red fish of the day was good, but it was just covered in Old Bay seasoning. The crab topping was fluffy & tasty! Would like some sort of carb to go with this dish, but we opted for a side of crab cake which was $7, not bad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place does get really busy, so get here early or expect a line out of the door on weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came here once like 10 years ago & it just doesn't hit the same. Could be what we ordered, but everything was very basic. read more

I would be embarrassed to own/mange Katie's in its current state. I've gone here for years and the last few visits have been disappointing to say the least. We waited around 45 minutes on a Thursday night to get an order of chargrilled oysters, which appeared to have been the fault of the bartender --we could clearly see on the computer screen that she had not ordered them until we asked about them after all that time. Meanwhile, various members of the staff walked behind the bar and poured themselves shots and beers that they consumed in front of us. We decided not to order entrees because it took so long to get our appetizer. It's a shame because this used to be a go-to neighborhood place with good food and good service. I won't be back. read more

One of our favorite places when in New Orleans. Old neighborhood place with excellent appetizers, pizzas, poboys and entrees. Tonight, crayfish bignets, so good, a little spicy but so tasty. Onions rings, as good as anywhere. Our friends had the rib plate and shrimp bucktown pasta, looked amazing. We shared the shrimp and artichoke pizza, filling and satisfying. Shea, our server was outstanding, tending to our table and offering food suggestions that we may like. First time eating on the patio. It was a perfect evening for it. Weather wasn't to hot or humid and a big screen TV to watch the ballgame. read more

Probably my favorite restaurant from my New Orleans trip! We were seated outside on the patio under the Sasuma tree (I learned what that is here - I thought it was a lime tree!). The place was lively, fun, with water-spraying fans to keep people cool in the heat. Went with my young kids, wasn't sure if they'd love the menu. They gobbled everything up, and I wished I had more stomach space. Crawfish beignets? Decadent, almost sinful. Amazing and would order again. I got the Catfish Meuniere for my lunch and loved it. Pizza was a hit. Po boys were great. Every person at our table loved their choice- and the servers were knowledgeable and patient with giving us recommendations based on our taste, since we were new to the restaurant and its menu is so impressive and diverse. The servers were awesome. A few different ones stopped by our table, to see how we were getting along and to offer refills. It felt like a team effort. The tables next to us were friendly, it felt like we became part of a family. Just part of the awesome vibe of the city, I guess. Close to a streetcar stop, easy to get to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) from here, even for people who are tourists and not familiar with the city's public transit. Go here. It's a destination restaurant with a "local friends and family" vibe - I wouldn't miss it when I'm back in town and would be here all the time if I was local. :) read more

A very busy, small restaurant bar that was filled to the gills! If you love fried foods, this is your place. I had the crab and corn bisque that was rich and cream, delicious! The poboy was a good size that my husband couldn't finish it. He didn't care for the batter but I did. The pasta and catfish were generous and looked good to me. Many restaurants in New Orleans are quite warm or very cool so dress accordingly and dig in. read more

I came to Katie's for Brunch and to have my friend who was visiting from outside of town to try Southern Food for the first time. They were quite generous with their portion sizes which was great. We had a dozen of chargrilled oysters and they were super generous and made them well with the buttery/garlic sauce. We were recommended the shrimp alfredo and it was delicious! It had a bit of a spicy kick to it which was great. We also shared a Catfish Meuniere and the catfish was fried perfectly. I am giving it a 4/5 because it took a while for our food to come out - we were seated with a reservation and we had to ask 45 minutes later where the food was and it started to finally come out. Be sure to book a reservation in advance and I felt lucky that we did because the line was quite huge! read more

Jordan and I stopped by Katie's for happy hour yesterday and ordered a dozen chargrilled oysters for just $14. Honestly, it might have been the best food decision we made all trip. I've had chargrilled oysters all over the place, but these were hands down the best I've ever had. The oysters were perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. The char from the grill gave them that smoky richness that takes oysters to another level, while the butter, seasoning, and cheese were perfectly balanced. Every single bite was outstanding. In fact, they were so good I found myself gnawing on the oyster shells trying to get every last bit of flavor. No shame. They were that good. Everything about them was spot on--the texture, the seasoning, the char, the presentation. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. Needless to say, we're already planning to come back today for another round. If you're in New Orleans and love oysters, do yourself a favor and order these. They're absolutely unforgettable. read more

Katie's is pretty popular for New Orleans cuisine, so when my friends asked me to go somewhere where they could get some Chargrilled Oysters and other New Orleans food outside of the French Quarter this seemed like a great option. I did make reservations in advance which is a good idea, they seem to keep pretty busy and I'm not sure how long you would have to wait as a walk in. The space is also not that big, so if you have a bigger party a reservation is an even better idea. We sat at a high top and got bumped a few times. The menu is quite large with lots of options! We of course got the Chargrilled Oysters. I also got a burger with onions rings as a side. Not local cuisine, but it was what I was craving. The burger tasted pretty standard and the Onion rings were pretty large and good. The Chargrilled oysters were a good size and had a good flavor to them. Service: It was pretty busy, but our server was attentive Drinks: There's a full bar Outdoor Seating: Plenty Parking: Free street parking Reservations: Yes read more

Our food came quickly without compromising flavors and taste. The redfish was slightly dry but overall we were pleased. read more

It's been a while since I've eaten at Katie's, so we ate at this place for dinner last night, and it was what I expected! Our party started with a Caesar salad, Mary's Italian salad, and the gumbo. The Caesar was okay (the croutons were a bit soft), but Italian salad was extremely tasty and the gumbo was hearty. The panko fried redfish and cajun cuban were the entrees that came next. The cajun cuban was a really good cuban but unfortunately the cochon was slightly dry, but luckily the sauce that came with the onion rings was recommended as well for the cuban. That certainly made everything better for the cuban. Service was excellent, as she was patient with us since one person in our party had never been there. 3.5 stars. read more
