    Shrimp salad
    Priscilla W.

    Ordered a fried shrimp salad to go on a busy night and everything was still hot and fresh when I got home. The portions were solid, and nothing felt thrown together. My order was accurate, which honestly feels rare these days. This is now one of my go-to spots when I don't feel like cooking.

    This is one of the more popular bars in Metairie. Usually 2-3 bartenders working at night. We usually come here once or twice a month after work as I work a few miles down the street. Food is good (we usually get a steak). Bartenders are usually busy and sometimes can take ahwile to get service. Swamp Room is still Swamp Room (popular, fun atmosphere, good food).

    Salami, spinach, artichoke dip. Took three bites and weeded pushed it aside..

    Not from Louisiana.. here for work. So we have been hitting up story's bars for the football games. Sat at the bar on a Saturday. Decent crowd. Bartender she was very nice and attentive. Ordered from mini taco and spinach and artichoke dip. I was not impressed. This is the same crap you can get from Sam's club in the frozen aisle. We ate the mini tacos. But the slimy dip was worse. Unfortunately for us will will not be back for the bar trash frozen food. I did like the fact that they played the sound of a game instead of playing music.

    Love it. RITA the Bartender is the best. She's super experienced and cute. Way older than she looks! I wish the bar organized the liquor better for fast access for bartenders on the weekend bc it doesn't really make sense the way it is now (I'm a Bartender myself). Swamp room has always been a hub since I was in high-school 15 years ago and continues to be a solid late night choice. The pool tables felt were very decent quality and a lot of stick options though a few were shattered. Love the mural when you walk in - I would love to see some more art throughout the place to emphasize the swamp theme (HOLLAAAAA, I'm a mural artist also ;) )

    This whole piece is nothing but a big piece of chicken skin.. gross

    We get take out here all the time but tonight it wasn't good. My grilled chicken had a huge piece of skin on it that when I pulled it off, it took all the seasoning off & it was small. The girl was also rude when we picked the food up

    Tried chicken taco last wed. it was so salty I couldn't finish it. Salt is Easy to add if too little, not so easy to take away if too much.

    We had the swamp burger. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. I couldn't eat the entire burger.

    Food is pretty subpar, drinks aren't much better and it seems like they are always understaffed. Really gone downhill the last few years.

    I really liked the place. Thought the food was great. We…read morejust didn't expect multiple people to be smoking at- and working the bar. There are other places I would choose, simply because you don't have someone puffing in your face. It's either: drinks, bar, smoking - or food. You think you can have all four.

    The Tavern on Vets is a great dive bar with some fantastic food. They have a LOT of great specials…read morefor BOTH food and booze. The biggest negative for me is that this is a smoking bar and while they do have a HUGE space that usually makes the smoking not such a problem that changes fast during the peak Friday nights when they offer their 2 for 1 burger special when it gets so smoky that I can't handle it. My visits during the weekday seemed quite pleasant but the crowded weekends just get far too smoky for me unfortunately. The burgers and ribeye steaks here are fairly priced and better than you get at many far fancier and way more expensive restaurants. I've eaten a LOT of steaks and enjoyed plenty of good steak nights around the New Orleans area but the ribeye here is by far one of the best I've had anywhere. The service at the bar and at the tables is quick, friendly and overall just a great experience. This is some of the best bar food I've had anywhere and just one of the best options for a great steak and burger at a great price anywhere. Now if they could just do something about the cancer sticks...

    Yesterday was my first time going to loft 18 and I enjoyed myself. It was just two of us who went…read moreand we booked a bay for 1 hr. Our time was for 4:45 and since we went before 6, it was only $15 for the hour(weekday price) which is reasonably priced. The place is smaller than I thought it would be, as there are only 5 bays for the games, but still nice. Once we arrived the host showed us the screen all the games were on and how to select the games. Each bay comes with the different equipment needed for the games. We were going to play a baseball game, but our bay didn't have the stand to put the baseball on so you could hit it. I told one of the workers and she said she would get the stand from another bay. She looked and couldn't find a baseball stand at any of the bays. So I will say that's something they could improve on making sure they have the proper equipment for all the games. Besides that, we had fun. 1 hour was enough time for the 2 of us to try out different games. If you have more than 2 people I'd suggest getting more time. After we played we decided to eat. The menu has a lot of stuff to choose from, and there's a barcode at the top that you can scan that shows you pictures of most of the items on the menu. I like this because you can see how the food will look before you get it. My friend was going to order the sweet and spicy burger but they were out of the sauce, so she decided to order the Philly cheese steak. She wanted sweet potato fries, but they were out of those too so she got the truffle fries. I ordered the Chipped n chicken with a side salad and Brussel sprouts. The side salad was a nice size and was good. Food came out in a decent amount of time and we enjoyed it. My friend was surprised her Philly was on regular bread vs a roll but enjoyed it nonetheless. I enjoyed my chicken and Brussel sprouts. They give you a good bit of Brussel sprouts and I couldn't finish it because I was full. I will just say that Brussel sprouts are the only vegetables available as a side and it doesn't mention that it has bacon on it. I can eat bacon, but just thought I'd mention for those who may not eat it or who may be vegetarian. Food is priced well as there's only 1 item on there over $20. While there I also saw that they have trivia nights sometime and a recent advertisement for bingo but the music version so it's called singo. I'll be back to try more of the menu and to play more games.

    I really wanted to like this place and it's redeemable, but it needs some work. The service was the…read morebest part - all of the women servers/hostesses were on top of things and friendly. But multiple games on the screen were off calibration, the decks of cards we used were missing pieces, and the food is overpriced. My loaded fries were extremely salty and they forgot the gravy and sour cream. My heart hurts to write a bad review and I loved this place when they first opened but they really seem like they don't care to keep it up.
