The mall is very clean and organized. There's a seating area with outlets to charge your phone. There's lots of stores to choose from and many things to see along the way. The food court is really clean with lots of seating and a nice view of the river. I overall enjoy just walking through here just to see all the tourist and the view of the river. read more

Like any other outlet, the River Walk Outlet was decent. The stores in the outlet were pretty typical. Not much that I would go into but it was nice to walk around and just spend quality time with my husband. However, they are a budget friendly outlet (have stores that are more affordable). I got excited when I saw they had a Last Call Neiman Marcus. However, their Last Call Neiman Marcus didn't hardly have much. I like to go to stores like this to find good deals on designer items but their pickings were slim, like slim slim! My husband and I walked the entire outlet and then walked around outside. The outlet itself is a nice size with a decent amount of stores in it. I wouldn't say it was the best outlet mall but I did like that it was indoors. Most outlet malls are outside. I base outlet malls by what stores they have. Again, there was not many stores here that stood out to me. I'm more of a designer girl *shrugs*. Not judging anybody else or trying to sound snobby but I like what I like. For me this was something nice to-do and be able to walk around and explore. read more

Quite a bit of shops spread over three floors located right next to the water. They provide discounted parking at the Hilton parking lot if you make over $20 in purchases. I find myself easily spending 6 hours at the shops! If only they provided a discounted all day parking! The location is in close proximity to the French Quarter so you can easily drop by Jackson Square just by hopping on the streetcar stop located by the entrance of Hilton. Probably the best perk about this place is for international visitors as they can get tax refunds for their purchases right away if they have their passport with them. It's located right on the 2nd floor. read more

This is by far the most expensive "outlet mall" I've ever visited. A lot of high end stores that might have good deals compared to retail, but still very pricey overall. I'll keep driving to Tanger every 6 months or so for deals I can afford. Another thing is that this mall is not very stroller/wheelchair friendly. There are 3 different levels (not necessarily floors) with small sets of stairs and escalators out in the open, but wheelchairs and strollers must seek out the very well-hidden elevators. Actually, the amount of elevator searches alone at every level was enough to do us in. The food court was very good and reason I gave 2 stars. The new Toby Keith restaurant was not open at our last visit so I can't speak on that. Overall, I don't see us making anymore trips here. We came a couple times before the renovation and once after to see the changes. MAYBE if we get a day with a babysitter and don't have to spend 1/3 of our time finding elevators we may give it one more shot. However, like I said before this isn't a place the average person can afford to do all their shopping. read more

I remember when this was the older Riverwalk. It was mostly just tourist type shops. The food court was good back then and it still is pretty original now. Mike Anderson's in the food court has always been my favorite food court choice of any mall I've been to (of course, it's only in a choice in NOLA). There's a daiquiri shop. Outside of the food court is Cafe Dumonde (beignets). This is a better option for beignets in the morning time since the Decatur location will have a line (which you don't have to stand in, but that's a different review...) There are several fashion outlets. It's basically a outlet. Nothing too different other than the food court, I don't think. read more

Came here twice. Small section with a handful of stores only. Good deals though. We came back with some dress shirt and running shoes. We came here BC we wanted to stay dry from the rain! read more

Great way to get from the Hilton to the Convention Center while avoiding the heat and humidity. There are some good shops in here, and some 'meh' shops. Ample seating at the food court, which was nice. I don't necessarily think there was anything in here that would warrant a specific outing here. It's not a 'must see' destination. The one exception would be if you are wanting a coffee and beignet, the Cafe Du Monde in this mall is not busy at all, and the beignets taste exactly the same .. plus .. you can sit and gaze at the muddy Mississippi while enjoying your treat. read more

It was a rainy day, it was fun to walk around and shop a little. I love the New Orleans themed shops and checking out the river. I didn't buy much, but it kept me busy and out of the rain for the day. My only complaint is the people trying to get you to sample and try beauty car read more

I was very surprised to see this nice upgrade of stores since the last time I visited New Orleans. I enjoyed shopping the sales at higher end stores (Neiman Marcus Last Call/Nordstrom Rack) that would not have the same items on sales at my home location. Make sure you take your time and ask the associates what deals they are offering at each store. I was able to have $400 of clothes shipped to me for $7.95 at Nordstrom Rack. This was a nice perk and definitely beat paying overweight baggage fees at the airlines. The food court has a nice variety of dishes, desserts, and drinks New Orleans are known for. read more

I don't understand the negative reviews on this place. It's beautiful, well laid out and has a great selection of stores. It has a fantastic food court and a beautiful view of the river where you can go outside and watch the boats go by. It's immaculate, even the bathrooms are immaculate. There's plenty of parking, and there are several places inside where they constantly remind you to get your parking validated! And the best part is unlike other outlet malls, which are basically the same stores over and over, again it has a collection of local retailers that you can't find anywhere else. It's the best outlet mall I've ever been to. read more

Not too shabby. A pretty good collection of outlet stores as well as local gift shops. The food court has a nice selection of fast food type fare. Nicely updated/remodeled with some outdoor seating and views of the Mississippi. Conveniently located in CBD, between the Convention Center and FQ. Depending on the convention in town, or cruise ship landing or departing, it can get REALLY CROWDED, especially around noon. Pros: -Validated (discounted) parking with $20 purchase -Tax vouchers for non USA peeps -Free wifi Cons: -The people working the little kiosks are HORRIBLE and SUPER AGGRESSIVE. I have been accosted by a man wanting to curl my hair more than once while walking through here. Watch out for the people wearing scrubs, and the people selling hand creme too. I find it completely unacceptable to be sworn at by someone for innocently walking by... I even say "No, thank you." nicely too. UGH. -AC is always on super high! I'm chilly! Overall, definitely worth checking out! read more

The Outlets ay Riverwalk are far better than any other mall that has occupied this space. There are options to appeal to everyone. My favorites are the Lucky Jeans oulet and the Ann Taylor LOFT outlet. Others include gap, Nemien Marcus Last Call, Tommy Bahama, New Balance, Coach, Forever 21, Guess, and Kenneth Cole. The food court is awesome. It puts most malls to shame. They offer Canes Fried Chicken Fingers, Izzo's Illegal Burrito, Mooyah Burger's and Fries, Monas Mediterranean, Mandarin Express, (cheese)Steaks and Fries, Villa Italian, Aunt Annies Pretzels, Mike Andersins Seafood, a sald place and of course a Daiquiri shop and a few other places. Outside of the food court you can find a Cafe du Monde, Red Mango FroYo, Pralines, Popcorn Bistro, and Great American cookie Company. The views of the river from the food court are some of the best in the city. You can get $7 of parking with $20 purchase. Visit the security booth near the exits to the parking lots. read more

There is a boutique-y element to the outlet mall here that makes for a pleasant experience, and sets it apart from your usual strip mall outlet encounter. there are gorgeous views to be had from the cafeteria area, which includes outdoor seating and a Wink's Buttermilk drops!! MUST GET WINKS BUTTERMILK DROPS. In truth, its a surprisingly impressive cafeteria arrangement with alot of great options including local favorites such as Mona's. Unfortunately there is not a huge selection at the outlet, as space is limited. A number of the shops are also not actually outlets, which is a pet peeve of mine. Given the location, its understandable this mall attempts to marry tourist attraction and outlet mall and food destination into one, but in the end it falls short of the mark for me. read more

So, I had a convention and decided to come here during my off-work hours. The location was great because the train came right along side it and it was along the river (nice boardwalk to walk along). The furthest entrance south is right where the food court is. There is a nice children's play area (soft structures) that is marine themed. Kids seem to love it. While i didn't really recognize any of the vendors in the food area other than Smoothie King, the food seemed decent (burgers, chinese and mexican - the usual). There was a couple unique stores other than the big name brands and it was a nice way to walk outside of the heat and humidity to canal street. Recommend the walk (there is a Cafe Du Monde in there, too BUT pre-made beignets are not as good as the original location) If you are international traveler, you can buy stuff tax free. read more

Great shops when you need to replace your puke covered clothes from the night before. Or to refresh your wall of shame outfit before work.

I remember when there wasn't much at the Riverwalk but all touristy stuff. They've put a lot of money into this mall. Every visit back home, I always stop here. read more

Fairly average selection of shops. 2nd floor is where the food court is located. Cafe du monde has a stand on the 1st floor. The TSA tax return place is on the 2nd floor. Unfortunately the policy is different to Australia. It's the round trip flight ticket that matters. U need to have a round trip tic of less than 90 days. Doesn't matter if u r flying tomorrow, your purchase today won't count. read more

Boring There isn't enough unique here to make a special trip. In the end it is just a mall. I went during the evening and found bored salespeople, yawning security and an almost empty mall. If no crowds and merchandise you can buy at any mall is what you crave - this is the place. The best part of this mall is the views - I found the ones out the windows onto the Mississippi and off the stairs in the parking lot of the city to be the highpoint of my visit. The low point was the automated parking lot. Perhaps the purpose is to wake you up after such a boring visit - and having a machine that does not want to take charge cards, has a bright light to obscure your night vision on where you are to put cards/money, press buttons, etc. does get the heart pounding. The automated parking lot exit alone would have convinced me never to return. read more

The outlet is a good idea but it needs more stores to be more interesting to shoppers. Expansion would be the best way to make it easier for the tourism and local shoppers.would also be very profitable. The only shopping mall that would attract everyone. read more

The store was closing in 10 minutes and an associate with colorful hair and a hat on told us the store was closed and the register was closed but the gate was up for us to walk in. That's bad for business the mall hours are 9-9 and the stores shouldn't close door or registers until 9pm. Therefore, I will not shop at forever 21 again, so sad. Your employees need to do better. read more

This is a review of the food court. I've picked up a pair of shoes that I like at Clarke's, and a bag of sugar at the Obesity R Us candy store, but this is about the food court. I've been traveling to NO every week for months now, wandering the streets of the Quarter looking for yet another tourist trap restaurant that the locals would hate, but that I would like because I just don't know what good cajun/creole is. And I'm worn out, I just can't do it any more. Enter the Riverwalk Foodcourt. Yay! No thinking required. Mandarin Express serves a huge three-item + rice (or noodles!) and a large soda for under $10. Bourbon chicken, orange chicken, sesame chicken, mongolian chicken, honey chicken! After clearing the first 3 items, I could go back for another, different one! Plenty of other choices for dinner or dessert, but really, with cheap American Chinese, who needs anything else. Bonus points for rolling up the Fitbit steps in 72 degree comfort when it's 1000 degrees outside. Five stars. read more

This was a great find while visiting NOLA. Some very cool shops that we have never seen before. I really enjoyed the places... It's kinda odd, but this is most likely the best place to get souvenirs while in NOLA, cheape and the same as you find elsewhere in the city! read more

Great selections and wonderful people! Good outing for nice merchandise. Great stuff!

I was in NOLA for a volleyball tournament. The hotel was connected to this mall. I was very impressed with how clean, good selection of stores and nice everyone is here. Will definitely be back to do more shopping before I head back to Texas! read more

A lot more stores than I thought, I found some good sales at the loft store and a pretty good food court that has healthy options

This is a great place to stop in if you happen to be going on a cruise and you need something to take with you at the last minute. There is a very good selection of shops to suit most needs especially for clothes. We were taking our teenage Grandson on a cruise and like many teens he didn't pack the right clothes. So we found him some very good fill-in items at very reasonable prices. And of course there is the Cafe Du Monde to stop and get a chicory coffee and beignets. read more

The mall was clean, big and certainly had a lot of options for shopping. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time to look around so we only stopped by a souvenir shop to buy a magnet (priced at $5.99 - French Market had much cheaper options). The food court had a lot of variety and I liked that there was a Fat Tuesday there (although I didn't get one). We went with Raising Cane's for lunch before we headed back to CA. We didn't need to park at the mall but I believe there is no free parking :( It was a good quick stop for souvenirs, lunch at the food court and grabbing a bag of beignets to go! read more

I wouldn't count on the best shopping of your life when you're in New Orleans. But the outlets here are not bad. The food court is huge with many food options! You'll satisfy any craving here. A smaller Cafe Du Monde is located way at the other end of the mall. There's also a Fat Tuesday for frozen drinks... (terrible customer service, girls were rude, and will overlook you). If you're paying to park here... you might as well spend at least $20 to have your parking validated at a discounted rate. read more

This place is pretty good and a solid improvement over what was here before: trashy t-shirt shops and rip off tourist bars. They've completely renovated the space; however, it's still elevated with beautiful views of the Mississippi River, which is really nice. The food court area is really impressive, they've managed to maintain a good mix of local and national restaurant chains. OTOH, the main reason I go to outlet malls is to do serious damage to my credit card while getting tons of stuff, and this place falls short in helping me do that to my full potential. Since Canal Place is just around the corner with many flagship retailers, those same retailers aren't going to open outlets down the street. This means no Banana Republic and no J.Crew. It's also worth mentioning that some retailers in this outlet mall (looking at you, American Eagle) aren't actually outlets at all, just regular stores masquerading as outlets. One MAJOR con: they charge for parking, and paying at the end to exit their lot usually involves waiting in a huge line. They do validate but only for a discounted rate. I think that if you spend above a certain amount parking should be free. Would I come back? Sure, especially if I was walking around downtown and it was hot outside, since this place is fully enclosed with A/C (another major improvement over the old Riverwalk). Will this replace the need to road trip down I-10 and do some serious credit card damage over at the Gulfport outlets? Probably not. read more

I like it. I'm a big guy, so there's not much for me in there store wise other than New Balance Factory Outlet Store. But, I love the atmosphere of the place, compared to how it was prior to the reopening last year. I loved going to the Riverwalk when I was younger and they had cool stores to go into then. This place feels like a mall again, now. read more

This is one of the worst designed malls I have ever seen. It is extremely ugly to look at. There are no decent views inside or out. You enter it by crossing an enormous parking lot and either climbing three flights of stairs or a giant escalator. The stairs and elevators are only on the extreme ends, not in the middle, so a great deal of walking is involved to get to all the stores. Also, the mix of stores is an odd combination of upscale and tacky. There is Coach and Nieman Marcus Last Call thrown in with stores like Hot Topic and lots of cheap junky stuff. The center is managed by Howard Hughes which is known for quality projects, so maybe at some point they will take this property in hand. But it will take millions to give it a proper overhaul. I only gave it two stars because there a few decent stores. read more

This was the only mall I went to when I was in New Orleans for my birthday. Didn't know what the place looked like before the renovations. I assumed that it was probably in bad shape. My favorite thing about the place is actually the location. It's right in front of the Mississippi river which is always a great photo-op. Other than that, this mall didn't really stood out to me (not even the shops & food). read more

5 STARS for LUCKY BRAND and India: Had a great experience today at Lucky Brand. I needed jeans, fast (ripped my only pain, visiting town) and India who works there was amazing. Such a help, in so many ways, and I left with two perfect pairs. Nice store with good deals and she is wonderful. read more
