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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for an authentic dining experience, Acme Oyster House…read moreabsolutely delivers. Several locals recommended the chargrilled oysters, and I can confidently say they did not disappoint. Served hot off the grill, the oysters were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a rich, buttery blend that made every bite memorable. It's easy to see why they're one of the restaurant's signature dishes. To complement the oysters, I ordered a smaller serving of red beans and rice. Sometimes the simplest dishes tell you everything you need to know about a restaurant, and this was no exception. The red beans were hearty, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rice, creating a comforting Southern classic that rounded out the meal beautifully. Between the great food, lively atmosphere, and true New Orleans flavor, Acme lived up to the hype. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local, the chargrilled oysters are a must-order. Highly recommended.

    I was fortunate enough to have this place recommended to me by one of my colleagues…read more On a rainy day, I walk in, hoping that I was going to be able to get a table. But I was welcomed in to the bar with one open seat. The staff was very welcoming with a bit of sarcasm, which is probably something that I look forward to everywhere. I asked for recommendations, having looked at the menu and they handed me another special menu of the day stating obviously I hadn't read the whole thing yet. I started with the snapper appetizer and I have Tse with the coconut lime broth. It was absolutely delicious, followed by the crawfish capellini. I was surprised by the amount of crawfish in the dish and the chili flavor, which was absolutely delicious. I have been hearing about the hush puppies for a while so I had to try some, especially because my colleague raved about it at dinner the night before. Lastly, I had the baked drum which was delicious light and flaky. The flavors were incredible. I personally thought that the bread was a little overly grilled and chard, but overall the dishes still pretty good. I cannot say more about the dessert. It's absolutely one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. The sticky carrot cake toffee cake with cream cheese ice cream was just on the next level. I would try to come here if I was in the area every time.

    This was some of the worst customer service I've experienced in a long time…read more I ordered the steamed crabs. As soon as they arrived, I picked one up and immediately thought, "Wow, this is incredibly light." Anyone who eats crabs regularly knows that's usually a bad sign. When I opened it, it was completely hollow inside--nothing but an empty shell. A crab that is hollow like that was dead before it was cooked. I never took a single bite. I showed it to our server, Remy B., who apologized and said she would let the manager know. She took the plate away, so I assumed the issue was being handled. When the bill arrived, I was still charged for the crabs. I asked to speak with a manager and explained exactly what happened. She confirmed that I had notified the server and that the plate had been taken away. Then she told me that it didn't matter because their policy is to not give refunds or remove food from a check. Let that sink in: they acknowledged that I didn't eat the food, acknowledged that the server removed it, and still charged me for it. A restaurant standing behind its food is the bare minimum. Charging customers for food that was clearly unacceptable and never eaten is ridiculous. The lack of concern from management was even more disappointing than the crab itself. The only reason this review isn't 1 star is because the young man at the host stand was friendly, professional, and the one bright spot of the entire experience.

I ordered the shrimp po' boy, which was around $22, and was surprised it didn't come with fries. Usually places either include them or at least mention that they're separate when ordering. We also started with the charbroiled oysters, and whatever topping or seasoning was on them had this weird crunchy, crackling texture that literally felt like it was cracking against my teeth when I bit into it. I don't know if it was burnt cheese or what, but I personally could not eat more than one. The service also wasn't great during our visit. After our food was dropped off, our waiter never checked back in. I had ordered fries separately once I realized they didn't come with the sandwich, but after waiting about 10 minutes with no update, I finally got up and walked to the bar to cancel them because I was almost done eating at that point. Maybe we came at an off time, but overall it just wasn't the experience we were hoping for and probably not somewhere we'd return.
