Went here for the first time not that long ago. Great spot in a neighborhood that you wouldn't even believe is set in the middle there. Very friendly bartenders and staff. They keep the inside of that place super cold! What I didn't realize was the great food that we were gonna have there! I would definitely recommend you trying this place, and we will be back. They do have daily specials at pretty good & reasonable prices actually! read more

Mama's Place - Bar view - Desserts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I love Mama's Place. I brought some out of town friends here to pregame before a Mardi Gras parade. We had great food and drinks to keep us going through the parade. The bartenders are fast and friendly, and the crowd here is great. It is the total package for a friendly neighborhood bar! read more

The food was amazing.I really enjoyed it and looking forward to go back again i want to bring my children

Burgers were good but not a fan of the shoestring fries. Also, it took almost :45 to get them on a non-busy weekday night. Lastly, the place is not kid-friendly. Not blaming the establishment, just a head's up. Kids cannot go inside due to poker machines and even though there are seats outside you can't really control who sits nest to you. The table adjacent to us was dropping F bombs like cabbage during the St. Patrick's Day parade. Again, not the bar's fault but also not kid friendly. read more

It's the perfect neighborhood spot... Always chill, good pours, and better food. The staff is always there to take care of you and the "moma's sauce" OMG read more

I came May 1st to Mama's to eat dinner with my family. Unfortunately, they had this modified Jazz Fest menu for no good reason. The bar was less than half filled. So the main menu included crawfish, snow crab legs, lobster, and royal red shrimp which have zero seasoning. The rest of the limited menu included bar type appetizers. And to be fair, they also had a burger on the menu. None of the awesome dish's that they normally have. I am very upset at this limited menu. If an establishment is going to do this, they should at least warn potential customers on their website. read more

Although I am 21 years of age as of august this year, when i walked into mamas place looking for a fun time (maybe watch a game and grab some snacks and drinks) in my fun costume, i was immediately met with harsh judgement. The bartender asked to see my Id, and when i handed it it to her she harshly refused service. The ambiance of the costumers and waiters was rude, and not fun like a sports bar should be. Maybe we caught them on a bad night, it was ridiculous. read more

I stopped in here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The food was way beyond what I expected from a neighborhood bar. They really have the food happening in this little spot. You're likely to see the same old crowd having a cold one after work. read more

As far as a sports bar, this place is perfect and they make a great cheeseburger. Unfortunately the fries were ice cold otherwise they would've gotten a five. I will be back to try some of their specials, especially the red shrimp and the lobster. If you during Mardi Gras you're gonna have a great time. read more

Mama's Place is a fantastic neighborhood bar which for a small joint puts out far above average food for a bar this size. They have great service, food and drinks along with decorating to the maximum for holidays. Mama's Place is known for having a really good bar food menu with some really nice choices that also include great burger options along with impressive daily specials and the best steak of any steak night I've tried at all the bars that offer steak night. They also have a great off menu item that is sometimes featured as a special which is the steak sandwich which is a really nice item to sample. Overall fun times, good food, great service and plenty of friendly folks make this one of the best bars in the area. My video review of Mama's Place is here: https://youtu.be/uBjQDFDdfpg read more

service was great. Food was okay. But the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. This gave them my 5 star rating.

I love almost everything about Mama's Place. It's in the middle of a quiet, residential neighborhood, with a lot of comfortable (seasonably) outdoor seating, and it just blends in with the neighborhood very nicely. I've eaten here a few times - catfish po-boy, burgers, meatballs & spaghetti, and the food has been really, really good every time. The "almost everything" part of my review is the service. Sometimes the service is okay, especially if you eat at the bar. Sometimes the service is downright horrible. I've got friends who say they love the food but won't go there because of the service. It's particularly tricky with the outdoor seating - it's not always clear if they do table service or if you have to go inside to order. Either way is fine, but you should go inside and ask first - it's just not clear. Honestly, one or two of the servers seem to take pride in being a little surly, and when I've been there on really busy evenings, I've had incredibly long waits for food - on one occasion we finally figured out that my sandwich had just been enjoyed by the next table over, who ordered quite a bit after I did. But the food really is good, and if the weather is nice, the outdoor environment really is pleasant. read more

don't know if the food is good or not. waited over an hour and it never came out. ask the owner we hat was going on and no apology just said "good luck getting food anywhere faster than this" the waiter then yelled at my wife and I to get out of his face. food looked good but mine never came out and the staff made us feel like it was our fault read more

Hella good. Try the debris fries. Unbelievably good and the rumor is they'll be selling their remoulade to-go soon. Divey dive dive but the food is off the charts. Everything you expect from a humble hole in the wall in southern Louisiana. Filet Mignon can't be missed either. Do it. Dooooo itttt read more

The workers here are extremely rude. I walked in and was immediately yelled at to show my ID, so I did. I am 23 as of April. The bartender barely evengkanced at my ID and told me to get out. This place ruined my Halloween and I do not recommend at all. Zero stars. read more

We stopped at this gem on our way to the airport after an amazing four days touring New Orleans and beyond! For someone who loves dive bars, this place is a dream come true. Patrons and bartender were soo friendly and the food was banging! The beer was ice cold! If your headed to the airport and have a couple hours to spare, stop in Mama's! You won't be disappointed! read more

Best kept secret in Metairie! Great atmosphere! Even better service. Food is delicious! Taste like home cooking with great service!

This is a bar with mostly outdoor seating if you are coming here just for the food, know you'll be outdoors. It is also in a residential area which is a little odd but isn't all of Louisiana? The food was really good, I had the salad and my husband enjoyed his burger. The servers and other patrons were very friendly and we would go back if we are in the area again! read more

My son & I went last night. First we were ignored at the bar. When someone finally spoke to us, we were told to go find a table outside & someone would wait on us. Again we waited, finally the woman behind the came to our table & acted like this was the first time she saw us. We placed our drink & meal order. Seemed like another 10 minutes or so, and she brings out our drinks. My wine glass had bright pink lipstick. No way she could have missed this, but she acted like she was surprised. The food was just ok. I got a salad & my son got the shrimp quesadilla. I think my son was a little embarrassed, he lives in the neighborhood and had good experiences before. They were really not that busy. I did not feel welcomed at all and I doubt I will be back. read more

About noon on 4.29.2022, I visited Mama's Place. My son and I went for lunch at the recommendation of a friend who said Mama's has the best burgers in the city. I ordered Mama's Big Burger and my son the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. With the burger came fries and the wrap potato salad. The burger is legit. It is a great burger and I will be back. Best in the city? I don't know? Plenty great burgers out there making it a tough acclamation. My son said his wrap was good. He didn't eat the potato salad so I ate it for him. Again, good potato salad. I know in NOLA, everyone wants to have the best potato salad. Relax, my Maw Maw had the best. In the end, great experience. Cool Old Metairie neighborhood bar with an awesome bartender and great bar food. read more

There was no one to take your order. You had to order with the bar tender . In the past they had a wait staff. If you are prepared to work for your food and drinks then this is the place to go. I like the neighborhood vibe next time I will eat before I go . read more

I stop by Moms Pl., Tuesday to pick up a lunch for a friend of mine. I decided to grab the two larges for me and my coworker. When I got the lunch, the aroma of the food just made my mouth water, and when I had an opportunity to sit and eat, it brought me back to my childhood. The cabbage and turkey wings were excellent.. my coworker was speechless. He asked me where did you get such a delicious meal and I told him the best kept secret in Laplace Mama's place.. read more

We got of the plane hungry looking for a place to eat and found this 5 star sports grill in the middle of a very quaint neighborhood. We walked in and found the atmosphere to be very pleasant with customers who all seemed to know each other. The waitress let us know everything was home cooked and invited us to sit on the patio. Then the food arrived! It was AMAZING! We ate everything on our plates from Mama's fries to the oysters, which one commented to be some of the best they had eaten. Stop here it's great! read more

It's been several years since I walked into a bar. It was a good bar. It's just not my kind of place. The catfish and fries were good. The lady at the bar took my order with courtesy and the food was brought to me quickly. It was a common quiet bar. The pool tables look like good pool tables. read more

Besides outside seating and a place to watch the game, I'd give this place a zero. Service is terrible, the food is terrible (black burnt chicken tenders, flies in my lobster, soggy burger, the list goes on...) and overpriced. As a neighborhood resident, I was hoping this would be my favorite hangout and now I avoid it at all costs and the interesting clientele. read more

The only problem with Mama's Place is that it isn't big enough. On busy nights, there is not enough seating. The food is good with a large variety. Their shrimp Mediterranean is very good. Burgers are big and juicy. Bartenders are always friendly and helpful. Steak night is high quality and even has lobster some nights. Fun place to go. read more

This restaurant is one of the best in the world. I loved the food and the decor. The service was amazing. FIVE STARS!!

how did I not know this was here? love it! late night stop for some yummy food. cute lil neighborhood treasure.

Just a great neighborhood bar. We are from Chicago and finding a bar like this in Metairie was a treat. Small, friendly, free pool on Tuesdays and koozie on our beer. Can't ask for much more! read more

This is a great dive, the staff are amazing especially Zoe, she makes everyone feels special, beautiful person that makes you want to come back, the steak dinner was amazing, didn't expect it from a bar, it's tender cooked perfectly, the only reason why I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 is they were out of bread pudding. I will definitely come back to this warm cozy place, hope they have bread pudding next time around. read more

Mama's Place - Filet steak with mushroom topping, mashed potatoes and green beans - Desserts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I gave a two star rating because of the owner and the kitchen staff. Today was our third and final visit to this establishment. First visit was March 19th around noon. We stopped after a good friend told us how good the burger was and he wasn't wrong. We were so impressed we went back the next day for boiled crawfish. Not sure what to expect because of the Irish Italian parade that day. They weren't busy yet but well staffed. Here's where the first problem comes in. There were three bartenders and the owner was taking her stress out on one. She was barking orders at this woman like she was beneath her. This woman was running food, taking orders and doing a good job while the other two casually stood at the bar talking to regular guests. Matter of fact one of them had so much free time, I learned how you came to own this gem after being in the medical field and the high turn over rate you have in employees. I couldn't imagine why! Second problem was today. We decided maybe it was a bad day for you and we'd give it another shot. However your kitchen staff must have adopted your poor, negative approach in handling problems. I ordered a medium burger that came out medium rare ( lukewarm and very red ). When I sent it back your cook was so unprofessional about it I could hear him from where I was sitting. I wanted it slightly pink, not medium well like he was yelling. I couldn't imagine acting so ignorant over food. No matter who's mistake it was, I didn't have a problem with it until your cook started acting like an ass. Your bartender tried her best to correct the problem but at that point it was to late. I will not support a business that talks down to the people you need to be successful, and infront of people you would be nothing without. read more
