Food was amazing and so was the service. Staff moved quickly and gave great recommendations. That Stuffed Bell Pepper was amazing! The fish was fried to perfection. Macaroni and peas were on point. Almost walked out without the gumbo. Im glad I saw it. It was really great too! And the prices were right too read more

Great corner grocery store that has everything from Louisiana hot sauce, go to sundry items, and things that you might need for your Airbnb in Nola. We smelled the aroma of their food a block from our Airbnb and it smelled amazing. There was a line out the door for their meals that consisted of daily specials from fried chicken, collard greens, red beans, and rice, fried catfish, seafood items, in a buffet style manner. I believe they also had jambalaya and other rice dishes as well. We just came to the grocery store for essential such as water, soda, and soap. But service was excellent and friendly. Very convenient to our Airbnb. Ambience is very casual, a local grocery store/fast food restaurant that serves southern entrées, sides and dishes. read more

My chicken plate was hot and fresh (I saw them take the chicken wings out of the grease) and well seasoned. My shrimp po boy was excellent. The workers were polite and warm. read more

Hands down the best fried chicken we have ever had. The crispy crunchy was through the roof. The chicken is incrediblely juicy and epicly seasoned. I feel like we have been missing this in our lives and can never go back to a world without. The sides are huuuge portions and will truly knock you into a coma of full belly flavor dreams. These guys truly deserve a line going out the door 24/7 read more

The breakfast food is amazing. I got grits, scrambled eggs, bacon and smoked sausage for 3.99 for a small. Everytime I come to New Orleans I visit. I've only ever had breakfast. Fried potatoes good too. read more

It's a shame how good this food is. Everything on my plate was slamming. The red beans had pickled pig tips in them and seasoned perfectly. That's the real deal. The cornbread was soft and had a slight sweetness to it, just the way I like it. I ordered a stuffed bell pepper on the side. It was very good. The only thing on my plate I didn't fully enjoy was the pork chop. Although it was not bland, it could use a tad more seasoning. Overall, this lunch hit the spot and was cool on my pockets, too. read more

Cool neighborhood store w authentic family/soul style food. Found this spot searching for a hot plate for lunch. Today was Monday so it was red beans and rice day. They also had white beans baked chicken, fried chicken wings stuffed bell peppers and smoked sausage. I opted for the bell pepper and white beans that came with a side of corn bread. In short it was all delicious, hot and fast! Also it was only $6.99 I'll definitely be returning to check out other daily specials. read more

11/5/2019: I went to Key's today to grab a hot lunch plate of cabbage w/ wings and cornbread. My cabbage was at the bottom serving of the pan, so it was a little smushed. I should have waited for the new pan of cabbage to come out. So at Key's, the cabbage is steamed with pig meat. Their cornbread is a hit or miss. Sometime it's burnt, sometime it's dry, and other time it's hella soft and delicious. I think their wings batter is mixed with Tony's. I'm kind of basic, so I think it tastes pretty good. Overall, my meal was $4.99. Where can you find better deal for some good soul food? read more

Price is great. Service is ok. I'm not going back I'm tired of eggshells in my eggs for breakfast. If your workers are that incompetent to not know that they have eggshells in the eggs then I can't trust anything else coming out of your kitchen. This incident has happened to me 3 times this year alone. read more

Food was amazing and pricing was even better. I tell everyone that visit New Orleans they have to go there..

these people aren't nothing but money hungry roaches. more than one time she I caught them other charging me to items so I can just imagine all the other people they do it to on a daily. always pay attention when they are ringing you up, pay attention to what's being charged cause they will get over Then men behind the corner have shitty attitudes all day. They also doing it with food stamps too double charging for things that should I got been rung up once read more

Great breakfast, incredibly cheap, with an unfailingly friendly staff. Perfect way to start the day!

Best place in the world for some extremely tasty economical hot plate lunches. I have gotten their smothered cabbage fried chicken and sweet potatoes. Excellent. Today I had shrimp pasta baked chicken and stuffed bell pepper. Next time I will be trying their po'boys can't wait. read more

Absolutely love this place, I haven't had a bad thing on the menu yet. Even the raw meat is fresh ready for the pot. The staff is friendly even the owner mike greets you with a smile!!! If I can eat here everyday I will definitely do just that. Oh and let's not forget about the prices... it's affordable for the amount of food you're getting read more

The guy that opens the store has a very nasty attitude towards black people. What I don't understand is way do they have him working there because 98% of the customers are black. I've lived two blocks away from this store for 56 years before it was called keys and have never experienced anything like this before. I will do everything I can to spread the word and tell everyone that will listen about my experience there. I have brought many customers there and many from the hospital where I work. I will make sure to let them all know of my experience. I have heard many stories about him and I have finally experienced it first hand. I refuse to give my money or allow any of my friends spend money in a place that doesn't appreciate or respect me or any black person that comes there. I have always loved this store and would hate to stop going there but as long as he's there me nor any of my friends will ever come there again. Keys do better. I believe In you. read more

Ok if you want authentic grandma, aunt or somebody's mom cooking....Keys is the spot; it's a corner store with all the hood qualities that we all love. The staff is very polite in the morning; one lady in particular everyone is her "baby" I also love Mrs. Dee nah that evening shift you may get a lil attitude my advice just catch one back and don't take it personal lol!!!! Most times the staff just tryna move the line from all the overwhelming crowd. The plates are full, the sandwiches are stuffed, they season the season the food be that good. Oh and all the food is priced right I got 4 full plates of food for $22 read more

My go to breakfast spot! Good value for price. Bell peppers are delicious and pretty much all lunch specials. They just need new po boy bread. read more

The best place to get a quick breakfast plate or some home cooked food when you're on the go. Don't expect it to be the cleanest or one of the nicest places, but their breakfast and fried chicken wings are to die for. Try it out if u looking for a hot plate of food for under $5! read more

The best breakfast and lunch specials around! The food is really good, the ladies are really nice and welcoming, being a native, my rule of thumb, if the corner store chefs don't refer to you as "my baby" DO NOT EAT THERE. Well, Keys is the exception. I love it there and the front counter guys are okay, it takes a while for them to warm up to you but there are not rude like some other corner store counter people. read more

KEY's is the best spot in uptown New Orleans hands down for soul food Togo. The best is there breakfast specials many places claim to have a good breakfast for cheap but they put a lot of love into the plates. Also remember to tip the ladies cooking they are very hard working and nice. read more

I have been going to the store for over 20 years. I have never had a problem with the workers there just recently I guess in the past year or so there's this Honduran guy working the counter. I was in line and there was a guy before me that came in he lives in the neighborhood and he always is in keys food store matter of fact he was coming here before the Honduran guy even worked here. So that guy gets to the counter and he's like 20 cents short and the Honduran guy behind the counter said you came in before and was short and I can't let you do that. Now mind you I understand it's a business and I've been in there before and I've seen this guy say no keep the change because I may need it the next time I come and for him to embarrass that older guy like that was ridiculous it almost made me not want to come to that store anymore. I just think that they should respect their customers more let alone respect your elders how dare he embarrass that older guy like that in front of a store full of people. Keys do better this was a customer that was coming there before it was keys don't let one cashier behind the counter ruin it and ruined your reputation as being a friendly store read more

Love Keys chicken plates! It's very few places in New Orleans with amazing customer service!

This place is the worst of the worst. They made me wait for 45 min for disgusting, cold, and under cooked food. When you come to this place, do yourself a favor and just keep driving. read more
