    Wowowowowow A BUG in my po'boy. Aka Periplaneta americana to be exact. No crunch whatsoever, may I recommend umami on top? Please list ALL the ingredients on the menu. Can I take it as a side next time? Ramsey will come by.

    From the outside the restaurant seems pretty basic but it delivers in the flavor department. I had the seasoned fish, green beans and potato salad. The green beans were delicious cooked just right. Service was quick and the price was right. The restaurant is not a destination, but you are happy after dining there.

    Listen, eat at your own risk . The restaurant has roaches. I was halfway through my food, and there was a big roach crawling on the wall. The owner stated that the exterminator just came out today. The waiter stated that they have an infestation of roaches and they will be closing in a couple of weeks for renovation to address the issue so please eat at your own risk. Oh, and baby, they still charge me after a long day of travel to come to this place I was disgusted. then the owner comes outside and argues with me about him having roaches saying that he's still in business. I think that was very unprofessional and he's boasting saying he's still in business but they're literally selling food and roaches are calling everywhere.

    The most blah place I ate in New Orleans. It's almost not memorable except for the terrible service. They were not busy enough for the server to be so short, dismissive and nearing rude.

    I was seated pretty quickly at the bar. The bartender was nice and attentive. I ordered the cup of gumbo to start and it was OK. Nothing exciting to write home about especially being in NOLA. The seafood pasta was overly salty and the bread was a bit stale and did not taste fresh.

    Redfish & snapper with 2 sides each
    Nil G.

    Snappers is a solid option if you're looking for fresh fish in New Orleans. They get their fish in fresh every morning, and you can taste it. We had the redfish and the snapper, and both were cooked well and very enjoyable. The style is Mediterranean-inspired, which I understand is why this place is so popular. That said, I'm from the Mediterranean (Turkish), so this style of cooking isn't new to me. Service was a highlight. Our waitress was very attentive, made thoughtful recommendations, and even offered dessert. She was genuinely lovely. Not a standout meal for me personally, but a reliable spot with fresh fish and warm service.

    Redfish with creamy shrimp sauce.

    Service was great, food was excellent. Redfish with the creamy shrimp sauce was a favorite at our table. Cute little restaurant.

    Meatloaf with corn and beans over mashed potatoes
    Renee M.

    Nice casual cafe right on Canal Street. Short wait to get seated. Food was delightfully seasoned. I got the salmon and it was delicious. Served with green beans. Hubby went with meatloaf with was covered in a tomato sauce. Booth, tables and a counter to satisfy all sizes of parties.

    Oysters Rockefeller and Cup of Gumbo
    Lexie W.

    The oysters were delicious! The cup of gumbo was the perfect amount for an app with the oysters and had great flavor. The seafood platter and soft shell crab were all fried to perfection and tasted amazing and fresh. Our server was nice and attentive. The owner came by and was very nice as well! Would definitely go back!

    Taste of New Orleans

    I can't find the words to describe how great our experience was! The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the ambiance was energetic. I had the red snapper, green beans, and house salad. The snapper was amazing!!! My hubby got the Taste of New Orleans. It was phenomenal. All of my kids devoured the kids shrimp and fries.

    Cajun Calamari $14
    Darlene M.

    Fast friendly service. The calamari app and fried fish app were good and came out very hot! My husband had the blackened red fish with a house salad and green beans. He said everything was very good. I had the bowl of etouffee which was good but light on the crawfish and just a little Cajun spicy. Great food. Wonderful service, really good portions and better priced than the other places we have eaten at in NOLA. Directly across from our hotel and near Bourbon St

    Fried Red Snapper
    Christle G.

    I love this place. The staff was friendly. They gave suggestions about New Orleans. They were very, very cool. I just can't rave enough about this place. I also fell in love with their snapper. Whoever is in the kitchen, you know what you are doing because it was so delicious. I have never been a person who could eat all the way up to the head of a snapper, but that fried snapper had me in a chokehold. I would have rather eat at this place in any other place in all of New Orleans.

    Seafood pasta, the best

    Been in NOLA for a week and have tried many places. We were so tired of all the noise on Bourbon street and crowds. All the places we went to was just Meh. I guess I had too big of expectations of all I heard about NOLA. After having a beer at cafe Portalba and researching we decided on going to SNAPPERS! So glad we did! Everything was beyond fabulous and our bartender G was so nice and accommodating! We are sad we are leaving and won't be able to go back. Had gumbo and was the best we have had and seafood pasta that was so flavorful. Great place!!!!!

    Wow this is a great spot that has all that New Orleans has to offer. Poor Boys, alligator bites,…read moreoysters, creoles, gumbo and more! My son had the shrimp poor boy and I had the 1/2 & 1/2 Oysters Rockefeller, along with some alligator bits. Everything was delicious and the people were super nice. Everyone in New Orleans is nice it seems. You can find Mr. Ed's just off Bourbon Street a bit, and it's 2 stories with an outside sitting area that is super charming. Highly, highly recommend this spot.

    We came here for a late lunch because I was really craving a po' boy and had seen good reviews…read moreonline, but honestly we left pretty disappointed. 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.

    We had a spectacular dinner at Drago's Seafood Restaurant inside the Hilton New Orleans Riverside!…read moreMy husband's sister and her friend were visiting from out of town, so it was a group of five with me, my husband, our daughter, my sister-in-law, and her friend. The food overall was outstanding, and it was a great spot to take out-of-town guests. To kick things off, we started with a dozen of their legendary Charbroiled Oysters. To be completely honest, we were a little disappointed with them this time. Normally, Drago's oysters are swimming in that famous, rich garlic-butter sauce, but this batch was not as juicy and lacked that extra sauce we are used to getting. They weren't completely dry, but definitely missing that signature butteriness. On the bright side, the rest of the meal was flawless! My sister-in-law ordered a bottle of Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay for her, her friend, and me to share, which was beautifully chilled and paired perfectly with everything. For entrees, my husband and I both ordered the Boneless Beef Short Rib. It was incredibly tender--true melt-in-your-mouth perfection--served over creamy mashed potatoes with rich gravy and topped with fresh sautéed spinach. My sister-in-law got the Seafood Pasta, which was completely decadent with a rich cream sauce over angel hair and a very generous mound of sweet lump crabmeat right on top. Her friend ordered Mama Ruth's Seafood Gumbo and loved that authentic, deep New Orleans dark roux flavor. Our daughter went with the Filet Mignon, which was cooked perfectly and came with a massive plate of hot, crispy French fries that the whole table ended up happily snacking on. Despite the oysters being a bit of a letdown, the entrees, wine, and atmosphere made for a memorable night with family. We will definitely give them another try!

    Convenient location in Hilton if you are staying inside the Hilton or in the area…read more Highlights: - Brownie with ice cream and whipped cream - really nice dessert and delicious. Huge portion. Enough to share with 4 people by itself. - Cheesecake -it was more like a deconstructed cheesecake - with whipped cheesecake in 2 scoops on top a surface of cookie crumble crust. This was really good too if you like cheesecake. - There was an issue with our hotel room and someone came to fix it and left us vouchers for a free dessert or a drink. That was really nice of them and we were able to redeem our vouchers at the same table. Mid's: - Spinach Artichoke dip - not a fan of this one. We were all really excited for this because we all love it normally but this one seemed off. It had a weird flavor and maybe it wasn't creamy/cheesy enough. - Fries - just fine. - Cornbread - fine. - Service: Our server got one of our orders wrong (a drink) and did fix it but overall, he wasn't super attentive and really wanted us to order the oysters even though we turned him down multiple times. Casual atmosphere in the dining area. The bar looks nice.
