Great food and vibes! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! I'd like to get the Salmon

Pra_Lees is tucked away on a side street away from the busy Gentilly St scene, across from Dillard University. This hidden gem is has a cozy, laid back atmosphere. There is a sense of nostalgia when you walk through the doors and hear old school R & B tunes with corresponding videos. The food is good and prices are reasonable. The service is accommodating and the staff is friendly. Food Review: Crawfish Mac - is very delicious, has plenty of crawfish mixed into the tender noodles with creamy cheese. It has a hint of smoke and seafood flavor that delights your tastebuds. Fried Lobster - lobster tail is huge! It was fried slightly darker than golden, but didn't take away from the moistness. The accompanying sweet dipping sauce, really makes the dish pop. Fried Shrimp - golden fried, good flavor, kind of tough but tasty. Garden Salad - fresh greens and veggies was really good. Cabbage - HORRIBLE! Tasted scorched and overcooked.

I pass by this restaurant all the time and finally decided to check it out. Pra lees exceeded expectations. I went for lunch. You choose a protein, an entree, and 2 vegetables. I chose the deep fried lobster tail, rasta pasta, Cajun corn and the salad. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. The cashier was extremely nice and patient. The restaurant is a decent size. Not much parking but next time I'll dine in. I'm definitely going back to try the rest of the menu.

My experience was unforgettable. While I would purchase food from this restaurant in the future, I would only purchase a to-go order. The dine-in experience was horrible, but the lady taking our order was nice, and the food was delicious overall. The dine-in experience was more like an expensive food truck experience opposed to a normal dine-in restaurant experience. You have to prepay for your food, they don't have water on tap, and no drink is refillable. All drinks are in a can or bottle. All food comes in Styrofoam to-go containers, including $40 lambchop meals. The cutlery and napkins are those that you would find with cheap food truck meals. There were no knives, so I had to eat my lollipop lambchops with my hands. No one serves you at your table. They call your ticket number for you to come get your own food, so the 20% tip you give at the beginning is for nothing. The indoor seating is limited. The air conditioning available for indoor seating is strained. Therefore, it's hot as soon as the door is opened a few times in a row. It took 40 minutes for us to get our food, and we were seated by the door and the bathroom. Our experience included the smell of an unchecked restaurant bathroom and a lot of bodies crammed in a small space. We were being accidentally nudged by patrons waiting to order their food because the indoor dining space is so small. The music started off pleasant, and then they changed the playlist. It was so disgusting and vulgar that I had to leave because we had a child with us, but I personally have zero appreciation for that type of music, so I would have left either way. Despite the dining experience, the food was good overall. My critiques have to do with the styrofoam plating of a $40 meal and canned yams. This is below standard for a dine-in experience and quality of a meal. If a dish comes from the can, the patron shouldn't be able to tell. The lambchops and brussel sprouts were pretty good. They are both dishes that don't need heavy seasoning, and they seasoned them perfectly. The crawfish macaroni and cheese lacked crawfish. The crawfish were more like a topping than a part of a dish, but it was still good. The favorite dish at the table was the Rasta Pasta, though the shrimp were not gulf shrimp and were small. Everyone was pleased enough with the food to purchase a to-go order in the future, but not for $40.

I've waited a long time to try this place out and I finally got the chance and it is 5 star for sure! I ordered the fried salmon ( I was skeptical because I was worried it'd be dry.... It wasn't!!), Rasta pasta and double brussel sprouts (because Brussels are my fav!... and they didn't disappoint). My friend got the grilled lobster, Mac & crawfish, corn and broccoli. For dessert we got the praline loaf. We sampled off of each others plates The salmon was nothing short of amazing and it came with a sweet chili sauce that was a nice added flavor. I had some remoulade sauce at home and I tried it on the salmon and that was good as well. The brussel sprouts were just perfect! The Rasta pasta was different than what I expected it was made of spiral noodles, shrimp and Italian dressing. I was expecting a cream sauce with a jerk spicy seasoning. It was my least favorite but that's more so because I don't like Italian seasoning, if you like Italian you'll love it. The Mac & crawfish was good and creamy. On to the dessert the praline loaf was good. I'm not a sweets eater but I do love a praline. This was perfect it wasn't too sweet and was the perfect ending to the entrees we had. As far as customer service it was good. The cashier was very friendly and was able to answer all of our questions and make recommendations. We tried to call in our order before we arrived but no one ever answer the phone so we just showed up and the wait wasn't more than 15 mins. So not bad ! The restaurant is so nicely decorated the murals painted on the walls are so NOLA. I can't wait to go back. And I definitely recommend this place to others. Next time I'm trying the yellow rice and shrimp!

The establishment is beautiful on the inside, from the artwork to the seating. The food was meh. The chicken was over cooked and extremely hard to cut and chew . The potatoes will have your blood pressure higher than a kite.. Maybe I caught the cooks on a bad day.. but I will attempt again in hopes to have a better food experience.

We went today because we didn't feel like cooking. However, it was a great choice. It was a little hard to find though. Food: I got the beef wrap and crab rice. He got the chicken quesadilla. I loved the wrap. It was amazing. Portion size was good. Crab rice was good. It seemed to have cheese in it which was weird but it was still pretty good. Wish there was more crab meat in there. The quesadilla was good but the portion size was soooo small. It definitely wasn't enough. Also the wraps and things like that should come with fries or something. Pineapple lemonade was decent. It was pink lemonade with pineapple juice added. Staff: the young man at the register was so nice and helpful. He was very informative and attentive. He kept us update as to the status of our food. By far some of the best customer service I've had here. Interior: it was nice but small area. If it gets backed it will be difficult to enjoy the tv they have on and to sit comfortably. Parking: there's only 2 parking spaces and 1 handicap spaced Overall it was good and I'd come back again especially since it's in the neighborhood

Food was incredible!! Everything was good. Everything! The stuffed burger was so good. The meat is seasoned and then stuffed with goodness. It came dressed with tomatoes and I don't even eat tomatoes but I ate them that day. Burger was that good! Fried fish was seasoned and flavorful. And the batter doesn't come off like it does at some other places. Even the fries were great. They're kinda garlicky and delicious. The crab rice was delicious as well. Now it is a little warm inside and a fairly small space so I recommend getting your food to go. I'll definitely be back. My new favorite food spot!

I follow Pra Lees on Instagram so I just had to try them out. I've been back twice the food is amazing and I have not been disappointed. The catfish is fried to perfection. I'll definitely be back to try different items on the menu but the pasta and fish is so good.

Chicken Salad - I was honestly too full to even eat the salad!

Really good food here the only reason I gave them a 4 out of 5 stars is because I came specifically for the crawfish and shrimp fries, but they didn't have crawfish today. Despite the fact that they had no crawfish, the shrimp loaded with cheese on the fries was amazing! It had a kick to it, so if you hate spicy foods then you may want to share with a friend. read more

I know because I have the Chase app which tells me each time i make a transaction. When i finally got the food it wasn't what I was expecting.

I came all the way from New York, I ordered the Thursday special before my other two friends. My side order was asparagus and broccoli. My other two friends also had broccoli as a side order. The dark skinned guy come tell me outside while we're waiting for our food I have bad news for you I don't have broccoli for you, I have it for the other two girls. Mind you he took my order first. The tall dark skinned guy tells me it's the way the kitchen guy prepared the food which made no sense. Horrible customer service if someone orders the same thing before you their supposed to get it first. I was feening to go to the spot and try out their food I was very disappointed. The place was dirty and also their seafood had a fresh taste like it just came out the ocean. My friends also didn't enjoy the food. My friend shrimp was over cooked and salty they fried it too much. I wouldn't recommend this place to no one who is going to New Orleans. I honestly wouldn't even give this place a rating I have no choice that's the only way I can post my review. read more

Parking lot looks like it stays full but we got in and there were a couple of tables with people and a lot of people waiting for to go. This was around 6pm.

We all did. Now a lot of people like to judge any Chinese food against the backdrop of "is it Chinese kitchen?". And we are no different lol but having lived away from the city for a long time and finding nothing is Chinese kitchen, you adjust your scale. And this place was fine.

If you love seafood boils, you have to come by to try this place out! They have boiled seafood very similar to the kind that's served at Big EZ Seafood and Oyster in Kenner, but they also have regular Americanized Chinese food if you're in the mood for some Chinese takeout. I love their Chinese takeout food too, but the bags of boiled seafood are really the appeal here. Their portions are large and generous, their prices low and cheap, the quality of food is high, and everything is delicious. The boiled seafood here is a little bit different than the truly New Orleanian style of boil you might be used to eating. You can choose the type of seasonings you want (Cajun, spicy seafood, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or a combination of multiple),and you can choose your spice/heat level (mild to extra hot) too. I love the customization! Their seafood "combos" are a fantastic deal. For example, for just $20, you get 1lb of shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage slices. This is my favorite go-to item here for sure. Because it's messy, if you're eating there, they provide you with disposable gloves and a wet wipe, which we all welcome lol Their Chinese takeout is great too and always comes with generous portions. One thing to note is that the takeout items tend to be a little low on salt for my tastes, but that's an easy fix with a salt shaker. I think it's a good thing especially for people who might have dietary restrictions on their sodium intake. Remember, it's easy to add salt to a dish, but nearly impossible to remove it! All in all, East Harbor is a 5-star, must-try, go-to-favorite restaurant! ESPECIALLY for their boiled seafood!!

That level of service says everything & of course, I grabbed a cold Big Shot Pineapple to go with it & babae, I was in heaven.

Y'all. Y'ALL…read more Are you in NoLa for some reason? Any reason at all? Are you hungry??? Do you like cocktails, and a well-curated wine list, and an INSANE bourbon list? Do you like a plate of food that speaks classy without punching you in the wallet, and servers who don't hover, but can answer even the most random questions you could have about the stuff on your plate? Look no further, friend. Right off the bat, after arriving on a Friday around 4:45 PM we were seated promptly, given water and the tastiest little sweet yeast rolls ever (the tops actually crackled when you squish them you guys), and made our bevvie choices. Tonic with lime for me (I'm behaving rn) and an Old Fashioned for wifey. Killer. We skipped the appetizer course and ended up ordering off the specials menu for both meals. She got braised brisket with deviled egg potato salad (fantastic!) and I got grilled Amberjack with roasted Brussels, topped with pickled peppers, onion, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil and Crema. Did I mention this place has a rustic atmosphere, and cozy feel, AND a Michelin recco without a dress code required?!? We had Lemon Buttermilk Icebox pie for dessert... MY GODS. This pile of words I just typed doesn't do this place justice. Chef Link has got something special going here, and his butcher shop next door is totally groovy too. I can't rave enough about this place, and I wish it wasn't so dang far from Texas, but hey, it's just another in a list of damn fine reasons to come visit the fine folks of NoLa again.

So we had to come to where the incredible, almighty "Banana's Foster" dessert was created! Here's how our time was at Brennan's. Atmosphere/Appearance: We came in the front door and the whole back of the restaurant was packed for a private party and I respect that so my wife and I took some seats at the bar that were recently vacated. We didn't get a whole tour of the restaurant, but it felt like a big mansion with several partitions, rooms and etc. Lighting was dim, a bit dark and intimate, but the atmosphere felt so calm and chill compared to Bourbon Street nearby. Lol. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but she was the bartender and she was awesome. We had no problems whatsoever and when it came time to make the infamous dessert, she popped out from behind the bar to put on quite an amazing show! Food/Drink: I started out with their Lobster Risotto and it was fantastic. Creamy, hearty and BURSTING with flavor! I absolutely loved it and loved how it was a smaller portion as an appetizer. For my entree I with with the BBQ Shrimp and a side of their grilled asparagus. Delicious through and through. Portion, presentation, flavor and everything was just top-tier. No complaints. Value: This place won't break the bank, but it's not cheap eating either. It's a good date-night spot so be prepared to spend, but if you do it right, you won't blow your budget. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here at Brennan's! No complaints! Check this place out if you're in the area and it certainly lived up to it's reputation.

TL;DR - Despite how popular and what a tourist stop this is, you still HAVE to grab your beignets…read moreand coffee here, at least once. You do that, you may be stopping more than once. Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

I was not impressed. I do not understand why people say this place is great. The coffee was…read moreterrible. Had it both iced and hot. Had the beignets they were also not so great. The cost is ridiculous for the gift shop when you can go to the grocery store 2 blocks away and get it half price. The atmosphere was loud, service slow, so many people and horrible turnovers. The best coffee I found was at Empanola. Do not waste your time or money.

The gentleman who took my order was nice for front of house service as you just order at the counter and assumabky they package things to go. This worked for me since I was grabbing and going lol. My only take away that was negative in a sense is a preference. They do put a red sauce on the catfish poboy that I can't determine what it was as it didn't taste like hot sauce but like a version of it that was more cumin based and did overpower the fish a bit. I still tore it up though and the fish is worth it. Total price for the poboy plus a bottle drink was $15

I love giving places a chance. In New Orleans, the food bar is set high. This little place with…read morelimited seating, and menu, had my curiosity. Why not... Well, if you're going to push a culture's food, you have to go all in with learning the local ways of preparation. In gist, I have to knock off 1 star for the limited sizes for poboys. Offering out only the 12 inch or the meat on bun just seems wrong, ESPECIALLY if you will charge over $10 for any poboy. It's a poor boy after all! It's New Orleans and it was known for big portions for a cheap price. Granted, that was the way before Hurricane Katrina. You lose another star for not living up to a "fully dressed" poboy. A fully dressed poboy should never feel dry. Also, I asked for Crystals hot sauce on my poboy and you forgot it. That's a culinary sin my good people. Overall, these New Orleans implants did a good job on customer service in regards of greeting and giving you an approximate wait time. Outside of that, they need to write down what customers are asking for that isn't programmed into your computer. The menu offerings are decent, and pricing is set a little too high for my liking. You may feel different. Try them out and let me know what you think. Just letting you know that for me, the poboy was too dry, and the shrimp could have been seasoned a tad bit more.
