Me, I need some veggies to offset three days of eating out, a lot of fried foods. It's N'awlins, y'all. So, the Sue Bird Salad looked like a good option. Mixed greens, sweet potato cubes, pecans, currants and goat cheese. Added chicken for protein. Balsamic dressing on the side. Ate half. Maybe I'll have the rest for a healthy snack. So delicious! The girls got a Buddha bowl, a Bueno bowl and a salad turned into a sandwich with chips. They enjoyed. So nice to have the family together to celebrate the rewards after a lot of hard work! Good Bird. A nice place to pick up lunch to go.

Y'all lemme tell you this baby is worth every ounce of hype. I did not think pho could get any better. Then BAM! I found it perfectly wrapped in a delicious tortilla. At first glance, I was skeptical. Why take two perfectly good things and mash them together? Why keep those tasty noodles out of their delicious broth and swaddle them in a flavorless tortilla? It sounds sticky, relatively flavorless, and a mouthful I'm not asking for nor did I consent to. Just a heads up, this spot is located in the back of a sketch looking corner store, but do not let that sway you. Head straight to the back of the shop, place your order then go pay at the cash register near the front. They have cold drinks in the cooler to grab too. & a small seating area inside with bottles of sriracha and hoisin sauce. Let me tell you- it was none of those things. Actually the opposite of those things. This spicy brisket phoritto was packed with flavor, moist (but not soggy), and had me begging pho more.

We had lunch at Welty's twice during our time in New Orleans and had a great experience both times!…read moreEverything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. The husband and wife who own Welty's are always there and couldn't be friendlier, and the same goes for their family and the rest of the staff. You can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. If you're visiting New Orleans or work in the area and are looking for a great, fresh sandwich and a friendly local spot for lunch, I highly recommend Welty's. We'll definitely be back on our next trip!

I came across Welty's in an interesting way. I asked ChatGPT to recommend local spots for a…read more50-person volunteer box lunch order at work, and it flagged Welty's as a strong contender based on Google reviews. So I figured I'd do a trial run first. Food (7/10) They wouldn't let me order a single box lunch, so I pieced together a comparable meal: a ham and cheese sandwich with chips, plus a cookie purchased separately. A few things stood out. First, there were no condiments included, so the sandwich was noticeably dry by the time I got back to the office -- something worth flagging for anyone ordering for an event. That said, the meat portion was generous, which I appreciated. It came with Miss Vickie's Sea Salt chips; I'm not sure if other flavors were available, but none were offered. The cookies came three to a container, roughly 3-inch chocolate chip, and were ok. The total with tax came to $21 for the sandwich, chips, and cookies. This doesn't seem like a good value, since I can get a combo meal from Espresso Express in the Entergy building for $12.50, and it comes with a sandwich, chips, cookie and drink--canned, bottled water or iced tea. I also wasn't able to try the fruit cocktail, so that remains an unknown. The meal came in a standard clear plastic container. While functional, it wasn't remarkable. For a catered event where appearance matters, it doesn't quite measure up to what competitors like Jason's Deli or The Honey Baked Ham offer in terms of packaging and visual appeal. Service (6/10) One person greeted me warmly when I walked in by describing their sweet treats. Everything else, unfortunately, fell flat. The cashier didn't acknowledge me and was noticeably unfriendly, and this was only about 20 minutes after opening, with no one else in line. A man came out from the back and just stared at me. The overall energy was one of visible surprise at my presence. I'll leave it at that, because I can't read minds. What I can say is that I've encountered this particular brand of unwelcome before, in situations where I didn't fit the profile of the customer they seemed to expect. Make of that what you will. Ambiance (8/10) It's clean and tidy. It's a food court. Bottom line: The food shows promise, but the service experience gave me pause, both in terms of hospitality basics and something that felt more personal. Worth trying for yourself and drawing your own conclusions.

It is mostly takeout spot, so they don't have many seating options. They offer so many different kinds of salad bowls and such.

They were super fresh, great texture and flavor. Delightful from the first bite to the last. I went back to Green to Go a few days later for more of their offerings. This time, I got their Daily Special: Spring Vegetable Fettuccini Alfredo. It was nice and hot, and a really good portion too. It was tasty with a good amount of veggies, and the pasta was cooked just right. I also purchased Blue salad bowl to have for later. It was a beauty! Vibrant and so appetizing.

We got our food probably 30 minutes after ordering despite being one of maybe three groups inside. The food was super yummy and fresh. The poke bowl was especially good and super flavorful. I loved the mushrooms in the rice and the avocado smear on the bowl really added a lot of flavor. Because the food was so good we gave True Food a second chance a few days later. This time they had enough waiters, but our food took over 50 minutes to come out after ordering. One of our plates even came out about 15 minutes after the rest of our food (which they comped).

Our lunch was incredible and the only complaint was about a couple of items that were not available on the menu. It was so delicious we went back on the second day. Day two - we arrived at the height of a busy lunch service, we were allowed to order to go but sat at a table, the hostess was challenging to work with, and it took nearly an hour to get two entrees to go. Had that been our day one experience, we would not have returned. Day one - Tuna poke was incredibly well seasoned and very flavorful and fresh. Lemon chicken wrap was not as well dressed as the kale salad, so I would recommend something else over the wrap. The tulsi tea was a true delight- so fresh and unique and warming. As a tea lover, I would go back just for that. At opening time, when not busy. Our server was attentive but not overbearing, and we wanted for nothing. Day two - Subsituted salmon for tuna on the tuna poke but was charged as though we got both salmon and tuna. Hostess was insistent to the point of being offended we had tipped on the charge card and not in cash as she does not receive charge tips but had taken our to go order. Lavender matcha latte was delicious, and the O.G was full of bright, fresh flavor. To go condiments and sauces for our order were well packaged , to the extent we struggled to figure out what condiments were on the poke versus the Chinese chicken salad. It turned out delicious.
