What??!! This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in in my entire 50-year-old life!…read more 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!

My friends and I decided to try out Katie's on a Friday afternoon. We made a reservation prior to…read morecoming, but the wait time was still very long; although, I do understand since it was a weekend. It was street parking only, so that was kind of a challenge. The service was nice. The inside was very tight and small spaced. The decor was still nice. It gave off a mom & pop/home style aesthetic. We ordered the Crawfish Beignet ($20.00) as our appetizer. I got their Rosemary Chicken with a side of Potato Salad & Sweet Potato Fries ($22.00). My friends got their Shrimp Bucktown Alfredo ($24.00) & Swamp Fries with Debris Gravy ($13.00). The food was okay, in my opinion, but it was nothing too special for the price. My friend said the Alfredo was a bit salty. The chicken I had was good. I was a bit disappointed with the Crawfish Beignet because the texture was hard, as I had expected it to have a soft beignet-like texture to it. Overall, it's a decent spot, but a bit overpriced for the quality.

Was sitting in the office with no idea what I wanted for lunch, so I decided to stop by Bubs. If…read moreyou're looking for a quick, easy smash burger, this is a solid option. I got the Bub burgers with fries, and my order was ready in less than 10 minutes, which was perfect for a quick lunch break. The burgers are consistently good, and I've never really had a problem with my orders. They did forget my pickles today, which was a little disappointing because... the pickles matter! But overall, still a good quick lunch spot. Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time, but nothing too crazy. If you're in the area and want a fast, no-fuss burger, Bubs gets the job done.

Stopped into Bub's to pick up a to go order. Ordering was efficient and the counter service person…read morewas really nice. The order was ready in under 10 minutes. But...the food just wasn't good and it's expensive. A smash burger, very small order of fries, and and extra patty with cheese all in was $24!! The fries were terrible. No flavor other than that of old grease. The burger wasn't good. Not juice AT ALL. Tasted like it had been pre made. The lettuce was wilty. I dunno. Maybe this was an off day? I just don't get the hype. You want a great smash burger? Head to The Husky where you can get an amazing burger, phenomenal friends, WITH AN OLD FASHIONED for $20!

Parkway Bakery and Tavern has been around since 1911 (and the current ownership has had it since…read more1997), so obviously, they are doing something right. I pulled up on a Sunday and since I called it in just under an hour before closing, I decided to get it to go. I ordered it about twenty minutes out and when I arrived, it was ready. The takeout process was in itself unique. I pulled up to what they called a "yellow tollbooth) to pay. He called on his radio that I paid and I pulled up to a covered door and they handed off my food. The overall ambiance from outside looked cool enough. Next time, I will eat it there, but I just did not want to be inconsiderate to everyone getting out on time. I found a local park and tore into my food. I went with the large surf and turf po' boy (roast beef and shrimp) and found it very good. For the price point, out the door with taxes, it was just over twenty dollars. Parkway Bakery and Tavern have been around since 1911, so obviously they are doing something right. Go check them out.

Sad to say I was disappointed by their po' boys. I got the half shrimp half catfish. The shrimp was…read moredecent (6/10). The catfish was super bland (3/10).

Hot & Soul was so flavorful.... just like all the reviews before mine promised!…read more The vibe is super chill. No frills, just really good food on Banks Street, right by Trader Joe's. There was also plenty of street parking, which made getting in and out easy. I love a good twist on an Old Fashioned, and the Pho Old Fashioned definitely delivered. It was unique, balanced, and a fun way to start the meal. The patatas bravas came out piping hot with perfectly seasoned potatoes that were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Now let's talk about the chicken adobo... YUM. The flavor was absolutely incredible. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce was packed with flavor, and spooning it over the rice made every bite even better. It's one of those dishes I'd come back specifically to order again. They also have weekday happy hour starting at 3:30 PM, which is a nice bonus. Overall, this was a fantastic meal. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and everything we tried was packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu!

I have been to Mid-City Yacht club twice in the last few months. The 1st time was for lunch during the week, and I was one of the only people there. I got a beer(s) and some truffle fries and relaxed out on the back patio. The second time, I came on a Sunday at 11am. I got some buffalo wings that were crisp, juicy and just perfect and I also got an order of fresh cut fries. Delicious. While we were there it started raining and the kickball league across the street came running in. Well, the 2 bartenders handled this crowd of like 50 people faster than I thought possible. I waited less than 5 mins for my second beer despite the crowd. Fast and friendly bartenders, good food and a great atmosphere.

After traveling all day, we decided to sit outside on the patio. We had a fantastic waiter who took great care of us. They have an experienced bartender and a great signature cocktail list. Highly recommend any of the martinis. The charcuterie board was delicious as were all of our entrees. Highly recommend the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp! Bread pudding was divine. ***Brown butter rosemary fries - pass on these unless good plain fries are what you're looking for. I didn't taste a hint of brown butter or rosemary on the fries and their "maison sauce" was just ketchup.

This place was pretty cool! I came here for dinner with my friend and I've always been wanting to…read moretry it out. The ambiance of this place was the best part of the experience - the Vessel is located in an old church building. I loved the vibes and it felt both classy and casual at the same time. We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night, but we were able to be seated as soon as we came in! We started with the hand cut fries and I found them to be delicious and fresh. Afterwards, I had the seafood pasta and it was great - appropriate balance of the pasta and seafood. We ended with the creme brule and it was perfect - it had the right amount of crunchiness at the top and was soft as soon as you broke into it. Overall, I had a great experience here and hope to try this place out for brunch in the future!

Plus, there are tons of food & drink options so everyone's guaranteed to find something they would like. (The Bloody Mary's are really good.) My favorite item on the menu is the Platno Maduro (This is a fried sweet plantain with refried beans, homemade cream, and queso fresco on top.) IT IS SOOO good and actually a very authentic dish. Not something common that we eat in the states. You definitely have to try it. I also loveeee the chilaquiles and the espresso is good quality. my mom really likes the Louisiana crab toast. All in all, the food is always delicious and the service is usually decent (anytime it wasn't - the food made up for it). I come back here maybe a few times a year. Moderately priced and always delicious. Check it out!!

They were so caring and acomodating! We pretty much ordered the whole brunch menu. The portions are quite large so none of us could finish a portion so I recommend sharing. The ambiance is lovely modern but cozy and everyone on here service staff are kind, helpful and caring. We can't wait to go back and keep exploring the lunch menu!

When we first arrived, there was a really loud obnoxious noise from the speakers. It wasn't music, just NOISE. We aslked the server if the volume could be turned down. She said the owners would not allow anyone to turn the volume down and said it was a radio. Finally, someone got ahold of the owner and the volume came down. Why on earth would any owner want to ruin a perfectly lovely restaurant be ruined by very loud radio NOISE? I think before I go there again, I will call and see if the noise can be muted for an hour or so. I feel sorry for whoever works there. The servers were very good and attentive but not too attenti

My friend got the frozen blueberry mint froze and she loved it as well. We ordered the truffle fries for an appetizer and they were some of the best I've had. I loved the shaved Parmesan on top. I also ordered the Caesar salad and added grilled chicken. For $4 they gave a big amount of the chicken which impressed me. My friends ordered the Citrus Salmon Crispy Rice and Shrimp tacos. Both were delicious as well. The inside is very beautiful and bright with lovely decor. It did get very loud as the restaurant filled up so if you don't like having to talk very loud, you may want to sit outside. Our server was attentive although it seemed like he had so many tables that he was struggling to keep up as we each had to remind him that we ordered another drink. Overall, I will definitely go back but when it's cooler to sit outside.

Fried oysters was good but the bacon jam was really what made the dish shine. Redfish was nice. Surprisingly mild. Veggies it came with were cooked nicely. Which it came with some sort of carb/starch. Shrimp and grits was a miss here unfortunately. Grits were nice. Had good texture without being graining. The peppers also really shone through. The shrimp however were super off. Not cleaned, odd texture, and the flavor was that of a dish sponge. tasted so soapy. I have no idea what happened here. But we didnt complain about it or send it back. Not sure if this is just how they make their dish and maybe it's just that we didnt like it.

I returned yesterday after not visiting for about a year and had such a great experience. Between the service from Natalia and Savanah (5 stars!) Both were great. The drinks are always very good, and the food did not disappoint. The shrimp & grits were great, I loved the watermelon salad, and the crab cakes were full of flavor with lots of crab! I also think the 3-course brunch is a great option if you want to try a few different plates... only $45, which feels like a great deal nowadays. And you can't beat the location right across from City Park, so the views are nice too. I'd definitely recommend Ralph's!
