    Best poboy s and onion rings !! The breakfast is awesome too with friendly staff !!! Food is always on point !

    Everyone on Grand Isle comes after church.
    Steve S.

    What a fun place! On Grand Isle this is clearly the place where the elite meet to greet and eat after Sunday church! I've been a few times and never had a bad meal. I've dined with groups and -- despite the challenges this imposes on the kitchen and waitstaff -- had great meals. I've dined alone and had great meals. Starfish seems to be able to do it all. Couple of tips: 1) Do *NOT* skip the onion rings. You'll thank me later. 2) They have an ATM inside, but they also will take a credit or debit card. This confused some of my group members. If it's not too hot, the picnic tables in front make a wonderful Al Fresco dining experience, too!

    Chicken? Chick-ken?

    Came to New Orleans on vacation and drove down here to go to the beach. That drive would've been worth it for this restaurant alone. gator po-boy was great, but the true beauty was the chicken. 24 mixed pieces for $33. Bring friends, bring an army. Fight the chicken. It took up half our table and even my vegetarian friend ate some.

    Staying open till 9pm on weekday seems to be the mark of a place that wants your business, as many other restaurants on the island are closed. Glad they were open! Really enjoyed the food here. They were plenty busy and still made room for us. Fried seafood and burgers are the big draw here. They have a decent size menu as well. The portions are very generous. You get your money's worth here and shouldn't leave hungry.

    Solid grub on Grand Isle. Great and tasty seafood platters and the onion strings are solid. Local hangout and well deserved popularity. Shrimp platter 4/5 Apps 3.5/5 Seafood platter 4/5

    Popular local spot, ordered couple appetizers and the seafood platter with onion rings. The seafood platter (4/5) was better than the appetizers (3/5) and the onion ring (5/5) was great. Would suggest to call before heading over as the place may close earlier than the closing time Google/Yelp suggests.

    My only complaint is to be ready to wait if you come here. We sat down before 9:30 PM on a Friday and didn't get our food until after 11. It does state on the menu to be prepared to wait up to 45 minutes for your order so it's only fair. Small place with a lot of seating, pretty nice menu. Went ahead and got the roast beef poboy, it lacked gravy a bit, and meat a lot. Tomatoes were sliced like 2" thick and I had a ton of pickles (not complaining about that), fries didn't have any salt but that's no issue. The flavor of the roast beef and little bit of gravy was good, just didn't have much gravy or meat.

    Love local eateries and this one is just that. I stopped because there sign said fresh never frozen hamburgers and I am a sucker for good hamburgers. So I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and potato salad. Also got some chili cheese fries because why not. The burger lived up to the fresh not frozen. It was cooked well and seasoned well. The potato salad was definitely homemade which I love. It was seasoned perfectly and was just delightful. The fries left a little to be desired. Pretty sure they were not fresh made in house but I just wouldn't order that again. Plenty other stuff looked yummy on the menu. If you want good food and small town vibe this place is what you want. Little pricey for the type of restaurant but would come back.

    We were visiting Grand Isle on a three day weekend. It was Sunday night and we weren't sure if anything would be opened. Luckily Starfish Restaurant is opened until 8pm on a Sunday night. We shared the seafood platter, it comes with a side (we chose fries) and to our surprise even a side salad. The side salad was a refreshing surprise before bringing out the fried seafood platter. The seafood platter included fish, oysters, shrimp, crab, and sliced toast.

    Best burger I've ever had in my life! No lie! I'm a Whataburger purist. I can never go back. Drove out of our way TWICE! Not only are the people there the nicest EVER, but their food is amazing. Please help support Grand Isle after IDA. This place is worth it. You'll love it.

    My sisters and I visited Brown Butter Depot on Saturday, and I can't say enough great things about…read morethis restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the food, service, and ambiance were absolutely outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our meal. The portions are generous one of my sisters ordered a salad that was so large she had plenty left to take home for her husband. My other sister ordered the breakfast croissant, and I had the smash burger, which practically melted in my mouth. Of course, we had to save room for dessert! We shared the vanilla bean crème brûlée and the beignet fries, and both were absolutely delicious. If you enjoy a good cocktail, you'll love their drink menu too the cocktails are amazing, and the prices are just as impressive. What really set this restaurant apart, though, was the customer service. I had a small issue with my debit card, and the owner personally called me afterward to make sure everything had been taken care of. That level of care and attention is rare and speaks volumes about how much they value their customers. Brown Butter Depot has definitely earned a spot on my list of repeat visits. If you're visiting New Orleans, don't miss this hidden gem in Gretna. I gave them five stars, but honestly, they deserve ten!

It was only like 6:00 pm so not packed at all. The bartenders were so nice and welcoming. We stuck out like sore thumbs and they could tell it was our first time there lol. They immediately offered menus, suggestions, etc. I didn't have long so I opted for a small liquid marijuana daiquiri. IT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD!! It has the perfect amount of bite. So after the fight we just had to come back. That was when the party was starting lol. It was packed. Karaoke going! We had SO much fun and again, the bartenders were impeccable! They kept up with the ever growing crowd with ease! Look this is your typical, small, hometown bar. Lots of locals. But again, even though we clearly were not locals (didn't have my Nicholls red on lol), we were made to feel very welcomed. Both visits. We do plan on coming back next time we're out there and will definitely get out there early enough to try the food! Just want to reiterate one more time, the bartenders were amazing. I wish I could have gotten their names but it was a girl and a guy behind the bar the first time and then later that night it was 2 girls and 1 guy. It was the night/morning of October 7 so if they happen to see this thank you!!!
