    Birthday cake pudding shot. Yum!
    Nikki B.

    Three Legged Dog is a classic dive bar nestled in the French Quarter. It's a 24-hour watering hole with dollar bills on the ceiling, good tunes, and friendly bartenders that serve stiff drinks with a smile. It's also popular with the locals for its boiled crawfish, which is served up fresh daily at 6 p.m. Mom & I stopped in on a sizzling summer day to take a break from the heat. The bartender on duty was a likeable guy with a wicked sense of humor. He told us they just made some birthday cake pudding shots, so we got one to share along with a couple of vodka sodas. I have to say, that pudding shot was strong & tasty. Don't pass it up. *Service fee added for credit cards.

    Street parking only, small corner store with high ceilings, dark dive bar, fans and loud music Loved the music selection, good snacks and strong pour, service was sweet friendly Location like a dive bar, music like a club and restroom like the epic fear challenge

    Crawfish boil!
    Jes G.

    I love crawfish season with the Dog. Every friend from out of town now knows to ask to swing by there to enjoy the boil.

    Divey bar which was cool until some idiot came in louder than the music talking crap about wanking himself. The bartender gal entertained him so he didn't shut up! We ordered tots and hatch chili chicken rolls before this clown started so be were obligated to stay. Both items were very salty, so if you're into that, and wanker dude talker, this is your place. The ambience was ok until that point, small hole is the wall with a musty smell and beer gnats everywhere. Egg roll on the floor, so guess nobody cleans. Maybe return, but thats big maybe..

    Was late one night and we wanted something to eat. My friend saw a video of someone recommending this place so we went. It was a Friday night and it wasn't packed. It's a pretty small bar and I thought it was unique they had money on the ceiling. It was about 11:30 and we wanted to order some food. The guy at the bar said the kitchen was closed at the time but that it would open up at 12. So we waited the 30 mins. I ordered the garlic parm wings and mozzarella sticks and my friend ordered the hatch eggrolls(I believe that's what it was like a southwest chicken eggroll). We ordered our food to go. After we received our food two of my friends saw a rat in the restaurant. I know a lot of places in the French quarter have rat issues but it was still nasty to see in the bar. Also they had a lot of water on the ground by the bar which was weird. Food was decent bar food but I wouldn't go back due to the rat sighting.

    3# of Crawdads for $26

    Dive bar with great bartenders. Small place that packs them in, particularly when the crawdads are brought in around 6 during the season. Hard to beat three pounds of crawdads for $26, and there were great, with a briny stock and garlic.

    Live crawfish boil.   So good!

    What a f'n gem of a discovery. We will be back multiple times before we love NOLA. Loved the crawfish boils and drinks special. It can use some AC! We were sweating balls but the time we left. Great 24 hr place to hang out and grab food! Amazing bartenders!

    The crawfish was delicious. I don't know what spices he uses but a great recipe. Also they were playing a great playlist.

    I finally experienced a crawfish boil thanks to this place. Overall I thought it was good, but the crawfish had much smaller tails than other places I've seen. I'm giving this place 2 stars because the bathrooms had no soap and after eating crawfish out of the cooler that everyone was scooping out of, it really grossed me out.

    4lbs of crawfish
    Sam C.

    Came here for the crawfish, but lemme first tell you this place smells awful. Looks questionable. Def a local hole in the wall. The staff was super friendly and chill. The smell makes me wanna give it three stars. The crawfish was pretty solid though. You get a Togo box and fill it up (2lbs) and it was about 24bucks/lb. Ate quickly and left. I don't know about the other food.

    Crawfish as much as you can fit in that box

    Great local bar with crawfish that's just $16 for a box, which holds about 4 pounds.

    When is the season of crawfish?

    They have the crawfish daily at 6. Prime crawfish season in Louisiana is generally Jan-July.

    My wife and I will be there for the Final Four. Will there be crawfish boil Sunday night?

    7 days a week at 6pm, it goes fast so get there on time or even a bit early.

    What days/times do they do crawfish boils in February?

    I was there on a Saturday and crawfish was ready to be served at 6:00pm

    Is this 21 and older or can my 20 year old daughter eat here too?

    They checked our IDs before they let us inside so i would say no unfortunately

    Do they serve crawfish all the time, right now?

    I would assume as long as they are in season, but boils are usually only once a day, I believe. I'd give them a call, they will gladly answer your question!

    Are they serving crawfish this week?

    Crawfish is BACK! Please call to inquire on days, times, and prices. Tentatively Wednesday's at 6 pm and Late Night on Saturday's at Midnight.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    Out in New Orleans on vacation, and our hotel recommended Mr. Ed's to us. We are SO glad they did!…read moreWe were seated right away, and the restaurant has such a cute atmosphere with authentic local charm. Our waitress, Donna, was wonderful and helped us pick out some great dishes. My husband started with a half dozen raw oysters, and he said they were phenomenal! We then shared the seafood nachos and the crawfish étouffée, and WOW! The richness, flavor, and seasoning were like nothing we've had before. Every bite was absolutely delicious! Run, don't walk, to Mr. Ed's! This place is AMAZING! Definitely a must-try when you're in New Orleans!

    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.

    Charboiled oysters is the way to go!…read more If you're looking for a snack and a drink. Drago's is great to go to, for the charboiled oysters and a heavy NOLA drink. although a tad bit too sweet lol. Service is fine, and the ambiance is of an old buffet feel. But the oysters hit the spot and honestly could have eaten much more. butter and garlic! always a yum.

    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.
