    Who Dat Shrimp
    Nick S.

    Mr. John's is an authentic NOLA spot that is an instant classic you need to go to any time you get down to the big easy! The ambience is inviting and the staff is incredibly friendly. This is an ideal spot for a date night, business meal, or for anyone looking for a must have experience! Served on a sizzling hot plate, their USDA Prime steaks are fantastic! You have to try turtle soup when you're in New Orleans, and Mr. John's delivers! The drinks are perfectly refreshing and the Who Dat shrimp was a great way to start your experience!

    Turtle Soup
    Christy W.

    Enjoyed my birthday dinner with friends! I made a large reservation for 13 guests, which meant we had to order from the limited pre-fixed menu ($100 per person). I knew this in advance. They also let us have the semi-private section for no additional cost. We started off with drinks at the bar. While the drinks tasted good, they were on the lighter side, so I had my next round made as a double. Service throughout the evening was great, so attentive and friendly, and all our food came out together, which I really appreciated. For appetizers, we had the meatballs and onion rings. The meatballs and onion rings were flavorful. I also tried the turtle soup, I wasn't a fan but everyone else at my table enjoyed it. My partner's Caesar salad was good. For my entrée, I had the ribeye, which was cooked perfectly. Could've used a bit more salt. The sides, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and creamed spinach were good. The had about 5 servers bring out our food at the same time. They were on it!Overall, the service was excellent. They did wave $5 cake-cutting fee which I appreciate. I look forward to coming back and will try the regular menu.

    Mr John's was our place for our company dinner after a long day at the conference. We were greeted with a friendly smile and quickly brought to our table. Our server was simply amazing! Very informative about the menu items along with the daily specials. He answered all of our questions and even joked around with us and kept the mood light. We also celebrated a birthday and were surprised with a delicious meatball appetizer with the birthday boy having a candle with his. After dinner, again, we sang a second Happy Birthday as our birthday boy was given a slice of tiramisu birthday cake. On with the food!!! Apps were very tasty! As you will see in the photos, we shared them and very happy with the flavors. Our main courses consisted of several cuts of beef and a fish dinner. Not a single complaint on the meats and the various sides that we ordered and again shared. The pictures will do the talking! I can talk to my Ribeye done medium and perfectly served on a hot plate. Juicy, wonderful color, and wonderfully tender! Perfection! As far as the space, the dining area was comfortable. The space was intimate, lots of wood adorned the walls, pillars, and crown moulding. Photos of famous individuals were hung on the walls. If you have the chance to, go here!!! You won't be disappointed by the food and service.

    One of the best meals I've ever had. Creole pasta with shrimp. By request, a lobster tail was added at an additional charge

    I've had several good experiences at Mr Johns. Service is great, ambiance is old-school steakhouse. Food is very good. I'll return anytime I'm in town

    Surf and Turf
    Chelle L.

    A classic steakhouse - Mr. John's definitely does it well. We came here to celebrate our anniversary and got the celebratory meatball with a candle! We ordered the sizzling lump crab cake and the beef carpaccio. Both delicious, both worth it. My husband had the surf and turf while I had the petite filet. Both steaks were cooked to a perfect mid rare and the lobster came with a whole tin of butter that stayed melted with a candle. It was an intimate place and our servers were very nice. It's similar to most classic steakhouses that you can think of. Certainly wouldn't mind coming here again one day but there weren't aspects to the place that wowed me more or less than others like it.

    Sometimes you have to treat yourself to the best crab cakes in the city. Every thing was delicious from the meatballs to the service.

    Birthday meatball!
    Adley V.

    Dinner at Mr. John's Steakhouse felt like a proper occasion, which was fitting since we were celebrating the 19th anniversary of my wife's 21st birthday. From the start, the service was on point. Our server Tony was friendly, prompt, and attentive without hovering. A nice touch right out of the gate was a complimentary birthday meatball, which set the tone for the night. We started with the turtle soup and the crab cake. The turtle soup was lighter than expected in a good way. Tomato based, almost reminiscent of a minestrone in flavor, with a noticeable but not overpowering spice kick. The chopped egg added a classic touch and worked well. Nothing off putting about it at all. The crab cake was massive and came out on a hot plate. Fork tender, buttery, flaky, with a subtle sweetness. Heavy on crab, very light on filler, exactly how it should be. For mains, we ordered the veal Alyssa and the signature New York strip. The veal Alyssa is huge, easily enough for two people. They were not shy with the crab meat, the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the bolognese had big, hearty chunks of meat. The veal itself was thinly sliced, tender, not gamey at all, with a crispy exterior and solid flavor in the breading. The New York strip was cooked a perfect medium rare with a nice peppered crust. Flavor was spot on. Tender, not overly fatty like you might expect from a ribeye, and a good portion, roughly 12 ounces or so. Straightforward, well executed steak. Dessert was the crème brûlée and New York cheesecake. The crème brûlée was not traditional. No hard cracked caramelized sugar shell. More of an eggy custard than a classic brûlée, but still very good and not overly sweet. The New York cheesecake was thick, creamy, and classic. Served with strawberries and cream, though you can also get it plain or with blueberry or caramel. Overall, it was a really good experience. On a busy Saturday night, the place had a full on vibe. It felt like something out of Goodfellas or The Sopranos. Old school, lively, and confident in what it is. There's something special about Mr. John's, and it absolutely delivered for a celebration.

    My Perfect Filet Mignon with its partner

    Visiting Mr. J for lunch as I was visiting The Big Easy. Classic steakhouse decor with Cajun Southern Hospitality. The first aspect that impressed me was the warm service followed by the amazing Filet I experienced . Perfectly peppered and cooked to spec with delectable Bernese sauce . I would certainly recommend the venue and only wish I was hungrier so I could experience more of the menu .

    Easily the best sirloin steak in the city! The vast wine list was impressive as well. This is where you come to get a steak in New Orleans.

    A Seafood Spot We Keep Coming Back To!…read more My husband, my daughter, and I have been going to Boil Seafood House for the past few months, and so far, we've really enjoyed every visit. It's definitely become a place we keep coming back to. We usually get the seafood boil with snow crab legs, and this time we went with the medium heat and butter garlic flavor. Everything was really good and full of flavor. My husband and I got the potatoes as our sides, while my daughter got the boiled eggs. We also ordered a side of French fries to share, and let me just say... we ate those so fast that I completely forgot to take a picture! They were good! I also like the whole seafood boil experience here. They offer you a bib and gloves if you want them, which definitely comes in handy when you're getting into those crab legs. The service has been good every time we've visited, and the atmosphere is always lively. One of the coolest things happened after we had finished eating. Someone came around offering little samples for people to try, and they stopped by our table and asked if we wanted to try the soft-shell shrimp. I'm not sure if it's something new on the menu or just something they were serving as a sample, but we said yes -- and I'm so glad we did! That shrimp was delicious! It literally melted in my mouth. I'm usually not a big fan of eating anything with the shell still on, but this was so good that I didn't even mind it. Definitely not what I expected, and it was probably one of my favorite little surprises of the visit. I didn't take a ton of pictures this time, but I'll share the few that I did get. So far, Boil Seafood House has been a winner for us, and since we've enjoyed every visit, We'll be back again for another seafood boil!

    Arrowhead to Drago's As always, Drago's has excellent food,…read morebut I want to start this review with some suggestions about the NON-FOOD of Drago's Riverside. ... When I was looking for Drago's on the ground flood of the Hilton, I noticed restaurant activity down a path bordered by two hip-level walls. It was Drago's. When I approached a sign at the end of the path, there was a horizontal line on the sign with instructions to go straight ahead. Well, straight ahead meant through the sign and through a wall. The sign also said something about a green wall. I looked left and saw the reception desk far in the back. So I kept walking left because the exit from the path was only to the left. I approached the desk to ask if I needed reservation for lunch about a hour later. I was assured that reservations that day would not be needed. When I approached the same sign in the path an hour later, I noticed on the sign a small arrowhead on the end of the horizontal line. It would be great if the arrowhead could be made larger and the verbiage would say simply "Go left for the hostess." ... On my return to Drago's about one p.m., I asked for a place a bit out-of-the-way. I was seated next to two screaming children. So, without complaint, the host reseated me in a darker part of the restaurant which was perfect for my preferences. My waitress was Ashanti. She was attentive, efficient, and personable. She brought me a half-dozen of charbroiled oysters which were hot and excellent with extra slices of French bread because much of the pleasure from charbroiled oysters is from the butter sauce. (This downtown Drago's might serve more French bread than the Drago's in Metairie.) The oysters were small but I could not complain because Argust is not really a month with an "R" in the name. ... I also had a cup of seafood gumbo (with a good complement of shrimp) as well as a Heineken and a Kim Crawford sauvignon. The gumbo was good, but no New Orleans grandmother need worry whether Drago's had stolen her gumbo recipe. .. The ambiance of this Drago's was good although the rap music was discordant early. Later there was a soothing clarinet. The table top was bare, but there were cloth napkins and good silverware. ... Enjoy Drago's.

    Drago's in New Orleans is one of those places I'd classify…read moreas a tourist trap, but not necessarily in the worst way. If I'm here, I'm probably sitting at the bar, having a drink, and ordering the charbroiled oysters. That's the reason to come. Hot, buttery, garlicky, cheesy, and exactly what you expect when somebody says Drago's. Beyond that, I'm not really going out of my way for a full meal here. The place stays busy, there's a constant flow of tourists, and the overall experience feels more like checking a famous New Orleans restaurant off the list than discovering somewhere I can't wait to return to. The bar is actually the sweet spot for me. Grab a drink, get the oysters, enjoy the atmosphere, and keep it moving. Fine for what it is, and I'd absolutely stop in for charbroiled oysters, but I'm not building MY dinner plans around it.
