    Standard breakfast: 2 eggs, bacon, home fries & toast (it's a lot!)
    Art T.

    I'll say this... they didn't skimp on the portions. We went for breakfast on our way home after a visit to the city. It's a tough comparison to make, having food in/around New Orleans and Long Beach, MS... only to end your trip with an airport place. But, could you really not add some flair to your menu? Just a little local flavor and seasoning? I will say the standard eggs/meat/toast deal was huge. And the food was fine. Not rave-worthy by any stretch, but not terrible. I had the Southern Bowl, which was mostly just grits, one egg, and bacon & toast stuck to the grits. No inspiration at all, though. So much wasted potential. I'm not going to grouse about the prices, because it's airport cuisine, but... still pretty shocking for breakfast. The service was okay. Our waitress checked on us every so often. We didn't feel abandoned or anything. There were no menus, though; everything was on your phone via QR code. I'm okay with that, but the application/website was not very intuitive. I wasn't sure how to pay at the end for sure, though ordering was pretty straightforward. It's hard to compare to beignets at Café du Monde down in the French Quarter... or even the kiosk at the airport. The food was filling enough, though, so I guess I can't complain. What it lacked in flavor and quality it made up for in quantity. But, yeah, not sure I'd stop here again, though. There seemed to be other, better options nearby.

    Bloody Mary.. unsipped

    Service was 6/10. Friendliness and attentiveness to if we need something was a 10/10 but the execution of providing what we asked for was a 2/10. We would rather be treated well and get the wrong things than treated poorly. We ordered a bourbon and Diet Coke double with a Bloody Mary single in a tall glass. We watched her pour a Jameson and regular coke and then grabbed the short glass for the bloody. I interrupted her before she started making that drink and she grabbed the tall glass. Husband wasn't going to correct her but of course I don't mind and she changed it out for a single bourbon and diet but at the end only charged him for a single. To be fair, she did say her bartender went on break but she can manage. Order our food- avocado toast with scrambled eggs and no tomatoes- the tomatoes are clearly on the plate and easy to remove so I did not correct that but it's a waste of produce and if I was allergic, the whole thing would have had to been taken back. Husbands breakfast tacos were fine. Nothing special or exciting but was brought out correctly. We travel to New Orleans often and will not be eating here again.

    Eggs Your Way

    Would not go back or recommend. Came here on a Sunday morning before a flight. There was a wait despite plenty of open table. It appeared they were short staff. We sat down. As a party of 5, we required 4 separate checks. We were told we could only do 3. You scan the barcode on the table to load the men, order, and pay. I ordered the Eggs Your Way. It came with 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, a choice of grits or breakfast potatoes, and toast. I ordered my eggs over medium and choose sausage. My order came out as ordered. Nothing special. Very limited menu. I ordered a Diet Coke, which came in a bottle. Terrible service. Had to ask for butter a few times. Hardly saw our waitress besides her dropping off the plates randomly.

    For a place that was created by James Beard Award Winner Chef Susan Spicer, this place could have been better. It is located inside the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after you pass the TSA. Maybe they have a rough day; maybe they were understaffed; maybe it is no longer operated by Susan Spicer. My husband approached the place around 1PM for a late lunch. It took a few minutes to be seated. There was no one working host/hostess. At our table, there was a QR code to order at the table, but there was a waitress that took our drink and food order. Our drinks arrived, but 45-minutes later, we were still waiting for our food. We ordered Susan Favorite pizza ($17) and mahi-mahi tacos ($19). The food was OK. I also noticed throughout, besides the one interaction, no one checked on us until 45-minutes later after another waitress realized we didn't get our food. We paid for our meal via a QR code on the receipt and left. Overall, it could have been better with service.

    Great stop before your flight! They had a good size menu so there's something for everyone!!! They updated their POS to all app ordering so it's a bit of a wait for the food. Be sure to let a waitress know if you're in a hurry for your flight. I ordered the avocado toad and it was good. I should've ordered the omelette. They looked awesome!

    Their menu as of August 6th, 2024

    We came to Mondo's before our flight back home. We thought the service was slow due to understaffing but we liked our waitress, Their food was okay but forgettable. There are a couple of changes I would have made to give this five stars. They are very expensive-I liked my food but the price was way too high for my catfish po'boy ($19!). I wish they had hot sauce bottles for the table, and I think it is important to have both the option to order with a QR code AND to have a waiter to talk to, especially because the menu and the QR code menus don't match. I think the more ways there are to do something, the better, but help was not the most available, and in an airport, time is of the essence. I also don't get their advertising of "flavors of the world". They mostly have Cajun food, salad and pizza, but they don't feature multiple types of cuisine. Nothing wrong with that, but I think the slogan "flavors of the world" would imply foods from many/multiple places. I think their catfish po'boy is okay-their catfish was good but plain/unseasoned, and I liked the potatoes and aioli it came with, but the bread it came in was a LOT of bread, Overall, they have a lot of room to grow, and I hope they lower their prices-in the meantime, save your money!

    Mondo Pizza at the MSY airport

    Mondo Italian We had reached the airport early and decided to grab a bite before getting onto the flight. Mondo Italian Pizza caught my eye. When I got there, if was quite busy. Still waited and got a table. It took forever for the lady to take our order, and finally when she came, she looked so frayed, we were not even sure she understood. We customized a pizza and took a Caesar salad. She then took 2 more orders, held all the credit cards in hand, and walked up and down like lost, it was our turn to look harried now ... but, she did a great job of not confusing orders or the cards. The order was taking even more time, so we changed it to to-go. It came right on time to board. The smell was so good, we had the steward asking us to share ... :)... Mondo did not get all the customization right, but, the pizza was sooo good, it disappeared in like 10 min flat. It was only after eating I noticed the box it came it. It was like a recycle-able box, with a twist. You could use it as a plate, or a little storage place sort of thing with instructions on it. I thought that was pretty amazing. The salad, we got it home and had next day. It was still really good, even with no dressing, it had a flavorful taste. (They did give the dressing on the side, I chose not to put it.) To sum it up- food - taste and quality both great. Service, can be improved.

    Service with a smile, helpful staff, very accommodating. Zahra, the hostess and waitress for this busy Friday is very accommodating. It got pretty busy after a few minutes, but she didn't hesitate to keep checking on me to see if I needed anything. The menu is small - one appetizer, one salad, four entrees, a burger, a few sandwiches and some pizzas. For hustling travelers, it's enough. My Margherita pizza was good. I noticed the Shrimp sandwich was popular. The bar stayed full and drinks flowed to the tables. Active, nice place to relax, eat or drink between flights.

    Eggs your way with potatoes
    Tramaine B.

    Ive been here a couple times before and after a flight to grab breakfast. I guess depending on the time of day, you either wait to be seated or sit yourself. The menu is pretty simple and they also serve alcohol beverages. My waiter was prompt with taking my order, bringing the food and checking on me (not too much). I ordered the eggs your way with a side of potatoes. The potatoes were definitely undercooked but edible. Currently theres some type of construction going on which is blocking the view of seeing the planes take off and land; if you're that person. I think this is my third stop here and yes I would stop again when im in the airport and hungry for breakfast

Guys, it was THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I'D EVER HAD. It was lava hot, juicy, and greasy. It was also absolutely delicious. I was concerned that the thigh meat was going to taste different. But I could not tell.The fries were crinkle cut, but were seasoned well. Didn't even need ketchup for them. The place is very clean and they had 80s music playing in the background, my favorite decade of music. Not surprising, being an 80s kid. The damage all told, including a tip, was $25. Is it expensive? Yes. Is the quality and quantity of the food commensurate to the price? Also yes. Is it worth the hype? ABSOLUTELY YES. I was also informed there's a Hammond location. I will definitely bring my family there, as it's closer, to try them out as well.

We went to the restaurant in New Orleans (Metairie). It is off Veterans Blvd. It is on the right side as you are driving east. Please be on the lookout. Otherwise, you might pass it by. Tends to spring up and drive by. We almost missed it. This is a fantastic location! Kinda tight and almost missed it. Parking is very limited. If you get discouraged you cannot find a good parking spot. I believe you may park on back street? Do not hold me to that. Worst case, you can always get your order to go. It was our first time. We were curious about and not many restaurants offer fresh made pork cracklings. Usually you have to buy it at a local market or know someone. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They briefly went over a few recommendations. We started with of course, order of adobo fresh pork cracklings. Adobo or traditional** crispy pork belly, adobo sauce, topped with garlic peanut rub Southerns Queso burger - 6 oz. beef patty*, pickled jalapeño, queso, beer battered onion ring with order of fries. Tender meal - Choose your spice level. 3 jumbo chicken tenders, fries, and tender sauce. (Mild) Southerns Original Chicken Sandwich - Choose your spice level. Boneless chicken thigh, Yuzu aioli, slaw, housemade pickle. (Mild) I was curious about the Phuket Sauce. So I got an order too. This tastes great! Not spicy at all. Do not let the pepper fool you. It has a little kick but not spicy at all. All are well seasoned. Few of them you can choose your spice level. We all washed down with fountain drinks. They do offer catering services and possibly call ahead ordering. Please reach out to them for options. If you are in the mood for something different but great food. Give them a try if in the area.
