My wife and I had passed by Sun Ray several times and wanted to try it, but the timing was always off. We finally got the chance for an early dinner last week while running errands. It was well worth the time! We both started with cocktails, which were well crafted and refreshing. The feta cheese appetizer was super tasty with good sized portions accompanied by fresh warm bread. We had trouble deciding on entrees so we got three items, with plenty to take home for lunch the next day. I had the Cubano, which was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just as it should be. My wife had the fish tacos, which were made with grilled redfish - delicious and light, but still filling. Finally, staying with the Latin theme, we split the fresh gulf shrimp quesadillas. They came with a zippy dip and we're super tasty. Our server was excellent and made several on the money suggestions. We will definitely be returning! read more

Wow, fourth time I have been fooled into eating at this place. Love fish tacos until I had them at this place. Everything on the plate including the guacamole was bad. I normally don't write bad reviews but this place is not good according to my taste. Do yourself a favor and try taco bell it is very close and much better. read more

A really good dining experience. The staff aimed to please and did so. Our waitress, Krystal, was as good as they get. She was personable, intelligent, professional, & came by at just the right time, not too much, & not too little. Our food was excellent. We had, and I strongly recommend, the portabella fries as an appetizer, & had the grilled redfish, which I would also recommend. For desert we had the crème brûlée, which was outstanding. It is a little pricy but well worth it. Enjoy! read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon on a friends' recommendation. After perusing the menu, we decided to split a few appetizers: the portobello fries, goat cheese fritters, and the oyster bread. Our favorite dish was the portobello fries. You get a basket of cornmeal-crusted mushroom strips topped with parm, and they're delicious. We both immediately said they had a similar taste and texture to fried oysters, which we loved. The goat cheese was lovely, but not warm enough. I loved the French bread it came with. The oyster bread was OK, but I wouldn't order it again. Four fried oysters on top of French bread for $13.50? That's the price for a full fried oyster poboy anywhere in the GNO area. I enjoyed our server - tall guy with a great sense of humor and solid menu recommendations. I don't think I'd come back for lunch because the food quality to ratio just doesn't cut it for me. We spent $50 for three appetizers and two sodas. The place seems to have a little bit of an identity crisis - a mix of fancy dishes that match the white tablecloths, and on the other hand a bunch of awesome dishes (apps and burgers) that would give any food truck a run for its money. Note: they have a lot of really great and unusual vegetarian options. read more

Always delicious!!! Bacon and Brie burger is soooo good! I also love all of their salads.

This is a hidden gem on the Westbank! We had the oyster bread and fish tacos. Both were very tasty. The menu here is varied with different offerings. They even have Poke! I will return to try something different. read more

I make it a point to visit every time in town. The Thai ribs, Goat cheese fritters, Tuna Poke, Duck nachos, and the Red fish Orleans was so good you can't go wrong but I do wish they had non-alcoholic beer for my friend. The staff is also super nice, a must try. read more

Was really disappointed in this place. It has great reviews with a good looking menu & good looking pictures. When we got there we were seated immediately. But as our dining experience continued our service really slowed down. I got the tacos & the presentation was pretty. The fish of the day was red fish so it was red fish tacos. Tacos were ok. The beans on the side were not too great. The price was too high for something that was just ok. I wouldn't come back read more

Sun Ray Grill - Fish tacos - Diners Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

This place surprised us. We always wanted to stop in and we're glad we did. There is a variety on the menu and it is delicious! A little upscale but not. We are definitely going to make this our regular spot. Try it, I dont think you'll be disappointed!! read more

I have been to Sun Ray's so many times that it has become somewhat of a running joke in my family. Whenever we get together, and someone asks "What do y'all want to eat?" Someone will inevitably say, "We know Brooke wants Sun Ray's." I grew up on the West Bank of New Orleans' metro area, so I know how rare a good restaurant is over there. Sun Ray is a welcome addition to the sometimes frustrating restaurant scene (or lack there of) on the West Bank. It's casual, there's hardly ever a wait for a table and the food is delicious. The menu is somewhat extensive, which, depending on your personality, could be a good or bad thing. For appetizers, I suggest the Spring Rolls, Spinach and Artichoke Dip, or my favorite, the Crawfish Bruschetta. I'm also a huge fan of the burgers. All of them are good, but I usually go for the Malibu Burger, mainly because it comes with bacon and guacamole... two of my favorite food groups. And if you prefer something a little more exotic than the traditional fries, go for the sweet potato fries. YUM! In the interest of full discloure... Side note: Last time I went, I ordered my burger medium rare. It came to me well done. I politely sent it back and they graciously remade my order to my satisfaction. If you're looking for something a little lighter, try the salads or the fish. My mom swears by the Ipanema salad. I've tasted it, so I can attest to its deliciousness. Lastly, if margaritas are your thing, you HAVE to get one of the El Presidente Margaritas. I'm pretty sure it's top shelf, so it's a little pricier than some of the other drinks, but it is one of the best margaritas I have ever had. For the price, you get a nice-sized glass. So, you would probably be fine with one. Unless you've had a particularly hard day; then, I'd say, "Drink Up!" read more

This place was my home away from home for over a month. I was in Bellechasse for work. They are the coolest bunch of people. Food is amazing. Great ambiance. New specials every day. The owner/ head chef is very talented and his interpretations of traditional creole dishes are always on point. And...this brings a tear to my eye....They had a party for me on my last night. I can't say enough about this place and these people. Stay classy TJ, Michelle and Emily!!! read more

One of the better restaurants on the Westbank. Good spot for a business lunch. It is just nice enough, service is good and the menu is really varied. The Portebello fries appetizer is excellent and they make a good burger. Because the menu is so diverse, they can accommodate virtually any taste. They are close to a hospital, so they can get a little busy but I've never had to wait more than a few minutes. I can't put my finger on why, but Sun Ray just isn't as good for dinner. I think I'm just used to them for lunch (usually for work) and so dinner seems a little underwhelming. My wife also doesn't care for their wine list. Interesting bit of info (that may or may not be true): My boss says the owner started traveling the world a few years ago. Ever since then, he started putting some different and interesting dishes from around the world. My boss doesn't like it, but just because they took off some stuff he really liked. It is like they always say: Sun Ray giveth, and Sun Ray taketh away. read more

Every time we come here is better than the last... excellent food & wonderful service for an affordable price! For lunch today we enjoyed the Wild Mushrooms appetizer, NOLA Redfish Wrap & Bangkok Roll with Sesame Slaw... yummy! read more

The food was excellent -- no usual fare but a special twist for a good taste. Service is excellent.

The food has been great, but I'm giving it 4 stars because it's quite pricey in my opinion. I like the upscale feel and the service is good. read more

Always good food and good service. Usually the owner is around and comes to the table to say hi and check on you. Great, inexpensive, filling with healthy options....we will go back read more

The guy at the entrance is off. He looks like works for the mafia and uses this job as a cover. Nice guy and everything, but yeah, dude is weird as f#%k. But those nachos!!!!!! Man... the barbecue nachos... they are THE BEST. I really could have been satisfied with just nachos. Never had anything like them anywhere before. Just thinking about them makes me sad that I'm not back in New Orleans. My main entree there was the Thai chicken. It was phenomenal!! I don't think you can go wrong with anything in here. This place has a great reputation for a reason. I'm glad that the west bank is starting to get some really great restaurants. read more

Having a love affair with the Duck Nachos. Can't get them out of veins. I'm addict of them and if there is a support group to get me away from this vice, please tell where it is so I can go in the opposite direction. Some one check in on me to make sure I have OD on a couch some place. Till them....(Singing Prototype) I think I'm in loveeeeeeee Again! Ohhhhh Baby! I think I'm in love again... Y'all don't hear me. read more

I ordered the shrimp quesadilla with avocado and it cost $18!? For four slices of quesadilla!? Food was good but very greasy!? Wish it wasn't that greasy it went thru the paper onto the plastic container. Oh my!? The sauces that went with it I love cause it was all in separate containers. But the price took me a step back but other than the grease it was good. This place should be placed as a bit more pricier than 2 dollar signs. read more

I always enjoy my time here. The hoke poke appetizer was delish although I do think the wontons could be less bulky (That way you get more of the Mango/tuna taste). In the past, My husband got a fish dish with this cream sauce and it was so delicious. I got the filet and it was cooked perfectly. I tried the jumbo shrimp special tonight and it was delicious with the grits although I wish they did either fried eggplant or fried green tomato as an accent instead of grilled Eggplant. It's too mushy and the purple outer skin is like. Hard. But all in all the food is ALWAYS fresh, tasty and comes out fast. read more

I liked it! Great service and unique flavors! I got the oyster bread which was amazing!

Everything I've ever had here has tasted like cardboard, but it cost much more than cardboard. I ate here once, swore to never eat there again, but six months later decided to give them another chance. I left the restaurant shaking my head, wondering what went wrong in my life to think that this was a good idea. read more

I have been eating here for quite a while - before Katrina. But, I probably won't be back. They have changed, not only the menu, but the recipes of my standard go-to orders. They got rid of the spring roll appetizers. The altered the recipes for the nachos and the Bangkok Roll. I ordered the Dueling Tomatoes with grilled shrimp. Way too much kale as a bed; the tomatoes were very good, but the shrimp were overlooked and tough. read more

Beware if you have a large group going there now. They now only do 4 checks per table. We were there a month ago and they did separate checks. They offered to split the check equally. Said that it took too long to do separate checks and deal with rest of restaurant. Four of group left and went to another restaurant. Unless more people complain the restaurants will continue to do this. Giving one star because you had to. read more

do not skip the goat cheese fritters, they are divine. super fresh ingredients and you can taste it in every bite. lovely atmosphere as well. read more

Sun Ray Grill is an awesome local restaurant!! Great new recipes with a nod to tradition!!! A gem on the Westbank near Ochsner!! The Pkaqimine Oyster Dish is platonic and the addition of artichoke and goat cheese bring fresh flavors to the dining experience!! And Bread Pudding made from King Cake?? Wow!! My wife and I had dinner at a fancy restaurant in the quarter the night before and Sun Ray has it beat-- Hands Down!! Excellent!!! read more

This place is absolutely stellar! I was referred to this restaurant by a client of mine since I'm not familiar with the area and boy am I glad we took her up on it! I had the chicken quesadilla there which was a new flavor all together. I have no idea how they did it. Good ole Louisiana spice and flavor. I know I'm raving about this place but boy.... Was it worth it! All on all good experience. Wait staff was on key the whole time. And got seated quickly. :) yummmmmmmy. Bout to get the creme' brulee' read more

Sun Ray Grill - Diners Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

One of my favorite places for breakfast, brunch,lunch, dinner.. if you would have asked me to go there 15 years ago I'd say you were crazy-I couldn't stand the place. But the last 5 years or so it's been great. We always have the same servers the food is fantastic and they have a decent wine selection. It's low key and intimate so having nice conversation isn't drowned out by a ton of other people in close proximity. Literally everything on the menu is good. I think this last time we got one of everything and shared read more

Well, you know I love this place! Please stop in and enjoy everything from the freshest fish dish of the day to the juiciest burgers to the crispy duck (my 9-year-old son's favorite)! There is definitely something for everyone here. Plus, if you enjoy a nice glass of wine, cocktail, or margarita...you'll find something you love, plus you'll want another!!! Don't expect the typical fried seafood menu here...you'll find new dishes and flavors you will want more of at Sun Ray Grill in Gretna. read more

They have the best burger around! It's big so come hungry. My husband loves the salads. Also a lot to eat. Tea is really good. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it takes a long time to eat here. If your limited on time for lunch break you would want to order it to go. read more

The freshest seafood I've ever had from a restaurant. Service was great. Definitely coming again

Great spot for lunch or dinner with friends. Service was top notch and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be back.

Anyone who lives in New Orleans knows that the west bank is a bit of a challenge when it comes to finding great food. But they have got their ish together, great food, great service, I recommend the Brussel Sprouts. read more

Five stars! Always a delicious satisfying meal. The specials are always great to try. Two sesame tuna is an old favorite of mine. Fresh!! Great service and convenient West Bank location. I've had the breakfast twice and really enjoyed that (good strong coffee). read more

I tried this place out with a friend during lunch time. It is definitely a prime location since the hospital is right next door, so there were a lot of nurses and doctors in there. The ambience is a sort of classy feel and kind of busy, so be prepared to be there for a while. For an appetizer, we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. It was a little expensive for a tiny bowl, but it was the best dip I've ever had. I should have just ordered another one as my meal! Our lunch entrée came out and it was just okay. I can't remember the name, but it was shrimp in a sweet sauce and coconut rice. I wasn't really a big fan, but the food was kinda out of my element. Overall, the service was okay, the entrées the same, the prices were a high, but the dip is phenomenal. I will give it another try, but will definitely order something different. read more

I've seen this place a million times but decided to stop by and get some to-go food while at work. I ordered two burgers, one a Mississippi bleu for my boyfriend and the other a NOLA for myself. I requested for jalapenos, mustard and bell peppers to be added to the bleu but I was told that they don't carry jalapenos or mustard but that they can put Creole mustard on the side. So I get the food and I make it back to work and they forgot to add the bell peppers and didn't put the mustard on the side....this one was for my bf and he like, lives on mustard so I was peeved. I wasn't aware that my burger came on French bread cut po-boy style. I mean, I get the concept..Nola is known for po boys..but the burger is only so big and then you're left with a lot of extra bread...it was just weird. Burgers were peppery but didn't have much flavor. All in all, it was okay. Wouldn't return. read more

A really pleasant surprise! The Westbank has so few choices for eating compared to the eastbank. The fried goat cheese app wad enough for four stars all by itself, the jack burger was just okay but nit bad by any means. The iced tea was AMAZING! The only thing that wasn't perfect was the service. The hostess was kinda bitchy and when we paid our check the bill was $55, we put in $100. The waitress opened it up and asked if we needed change! Uh yeA! read more

Creative, eclectic menu. I like the option of fruit to fries, though a bit more effort could be made on the fruit variety. However the entrees are varied and the effort is clear. Seems like a lifetime spent collecting dish ideas around the world is distilled into their menu. Thai burritos, quesadillas, burgers are fantastic, salads (especially the specials i've had so far) are excellent. read more

The food is bomb af. Those chicken nachos heal your soul. I would def recommend to everyone. It's filling for what you pay.
