And it's a very cute ambiance for both. You order at the counter and grab a number for your table. I ended up order a hot coffee and a Gyro plate with Chicken. The Gyro plate was recommended as it provided a good variety of options including a salad, french fries, chicken, pita and tzatziki sauce. Coffee Science coffee is always good and well brewed. The Gyro plate was plentiful and the chicken was seasoned well. My favorite think was the Pistachio cookie I purchased as I was heading out the door. Service: Everyone was super friendly and checked in multiple times to make sure I was enjoying my food. Drinks: Lots of coffee options! Outdoor Seating: Yes and plentiful! Pets: Super pet friendly! Parking: Lots of street parking is available

I ordered the shrimp po'boy combo & while the shrimp themselves were perfectly fried, seasoned well & tasty, the wait was definitely longer than expected. I had almost finished my entire po'boy before my French fries finally came out, and since I ordered a combo, I expected everything together. The French bread could've been a little softer for me personally, but the fries were hot & crunchy once they finally arrived. Overall, the flavors were there, I just really need Sammy's to work on the timing because good food deserves good flow too.

I got the Hunter Pence, and while I'd say it's one of their more "simple" sandwiches (turkey, avacado, bacon, and fixings) it was delish! I love that you can add roasted onions and peppers. Also, as an anti-mayo gal, the "dirty sauce" aka smokey aioli is a must, lol. Just get it light. The staff was nice and the restaurant is cute and welcoming. My only less-than-positive feedback is that it's pricey. For $19, this unfortunately could not be a regular lunch (or dinner) run for me. Because while the sandwhiches are hearty, they aren't super big..most people could eat pretty much the entire thing in one sitting. But I get it..know your worth, Ike's! This will have a to be a treat spot for me, lol. But I enjoyed.

Every pizza here is true St. Louis-style: thin, cracker-like crust, topped with a unique Provel cheese blend, and cut into squares. We ordered the Francesca Pizza and swapped the seasonal berries for fresh garlic--an incredible choice. We also tried the fried green tomatoes, one of the daily specials, and I can honestly say they were the best I've ever had. The pizza was outstanding as well. Francesca has a neighborhood vibe--think local sports bar with a family-friendly feel. The service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu and daily specials. Highly recommend!

(My old shotgun apartment was sold and torn down to make way for another high-rise Tower that was never built and now there's a big grassy field where my place used to be). My memory is that Russell started with more conventional diner menu, but his since specialized in a New Orleans way. A large variety of egg benedict options now headlines the menu. There are also some creative omelets, including one with fried oysters and remoulade sauce. I was going to get one of those but I kept seeing these delightful fluffy looking pancakes coming out of the kitchen. I opted instead for a short stack and a breakfast sandwich. The pancakes were perfect, tasting is good as they looked. The breakfast sandwich was on grilled bread like a panini with egg and bacon. Tasty. Hash browns or small nuggets of potato, not the best but preferable to the shredded potato hash browns at say Waffle House. Coffee with hot fresh and refilled frequently. Sitting at the bar, I was across from the fresh orange juice station. After staring at a pitcher of fresh weezed orange juice as I ate, I had to get some. That was great, and the generous portion wasn't served in a thimble-sized glass. The atmosphere is loud and convivial. On a Saturday morning is mostly locals. Special mention for the friendly service. The wait staff work together and seem like long timers. They recognize the number of customers as regulars as they came in. That's the kind of atmosphere you can't make up or buy from Sysco. Five stars, because diners like this are getting harder to find in Russell's distinguishes itself with some truly unique dishes.

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.

No-frills, iconic, and seriously satisfying--definitely a must-try in NOLA!

I met the owner and he was as sweet as can be with his southern charm. I ordered the shrimp po boy and fries and a egg breakfast sandwich to go. The fries were good with salt and pepper seasoning but there was a lot of fries! The sandwich would've been enough. I will say I planned on ordering food here no matter what but my total was around $45 so keep that in mind, the price can come for you quick! That is my main quip. They had a bunch of options such as lasagna, chicken, and different kinds of cooked fish The store is kind of tight so not recommended for someone who's handicapped. They're open 24/7 so I'm sure it can be a good place to pick up something good once you leave Bourbon Street!

I'm a New Orleans native living in Atlanta, who has worked in the service industry for 15 years. I…read morenever ever write reviews because I believe they hurt small businesses and feeds the egos of the ignorant, but that being said this place pissed me the fuck off with their service. I come to central deli whenever I'm with someone not from New Orleans due to the fact their muffuletta is quintessential! I would like to reiterate nothing was wrong with the food , great food purely with the lady taking orders. I got a classic half muffuletta and a "glass" San pellegrino. The lady then told me open glass is prohibited in New Orleans , I retorted with "o really I didn't know that , since when?" Before I could finish The lady then yelled with "SINCE FOREVER, IM SORRY YOUVE BEEN TO BAD BARS WHERE THEY SERVE YOU GLASS ITS BEEN ILLEGAL SINCE THE 50s" which isn't true the city changed the law in 2001. She then proceeded to open my glass bottle even though I told her I didn't want it open, so I the asked if I could get another one since she was in rage mode and didn't understand that she just contradicted herself. As I asked for the second San Pellegrino, she then takes the first one and goes "NO PROBLEM THANKS FOR THE FREE DRINK", and starts to drink the San Pellegrino infront of me as I check out, making thirst quenching noises like "AHH". As I leave she can't help but remind me for her free drink again. I'm pretty sure the management witness this whole situation and I hope they do something about, that lady doesn't realize what hospitality is and needs to be fired. I did nothing to her and I bet I wasn't the first she has blow up on. But in my eyes absolutely unacceptable.

​I stopped by because I seen an ad in the window for a turkey sausage biscuit and a honey chicken…read morebiscuit, and they both looked like really good options, so I figured I'd give them a try. The place is super cute inside with nice decor and plenty of spots to sit down. ​ They have two different lines--one for to-go and one for dine-in. I went to the to-go side since I was taking my food with me, but then I noticed the eggs. They had this little oven behind the register where they were making these folded/frozen looking eggs for the to-go orders. The menu said "scrambled," and I really didn't want a frozen egg on my sandwich. When I mentioned it, the staff was actually great. They explained that the to-go line is meant to be fast for people working downtown, but they were happy to send my order to the main kitchen to get a fresh egg instead. ​The biscuit and the turkey sausage looked like they might be made in-house. The biscuit was huge--honestly, you can't even pick it up. I had to use the fork and knife they gave me and just eat it piece by piece. ​The turkey sausage was a miss for me. It was very heavy on herbs--I'm not sure if it was basil, thyme, or oregano, but it was just a flavor I didn't care for in a breakfast sausage. Also, while I was cutting into it, I hit some kind of ligament or gristle in the meat that I couldn't cut through. That kind of turned me off, so I ended up stopping about halfway through... ​The donuts I got a couple of the creative ones (Cereal & Milk and Banana Pudding) for some family. They looked really good and the family said they enjoyed them! ​My total came out to $38 for the biscuit, two donuts, two small cups of milk, and a medium iced coffee. The coffee was a bit small--the "medium" looked almost the same size as the small milk. It might just be the typical pricing for the downtown area, but it definitely adds up! ​Overall, the people were nice and the atmosphere is cool, but the turkey sausage just didn't align with my taste buds. I'd probably go back and try something else next time just to give them another shot! *noticed box says handcrafted*
