Couldn't wait to take the pic. Had to take a bite! 7/10!
Tay W.

Drago's, Morrow's, and NeYow's, are all good. But, for some quick and affordable viddles, head over to Triangle Deli. It's a local spot that is not going to show up on anyone's list of places to visit. It's a little hole in the wall gas station (not sure they actually sell gas) that offers up some tasty treats. Also- there is no place to eat inside. It's 100% take out. On my visit to NOLA, a local friend told me about Triangle and I was able to make it there before heading back home. The Uber driver that took us to Triangle was not feeling my selection and said he is a Morrow's kind of guy. The Uber driver that picked us up said he had never been because he stays away from the 7th Ward. As for me, I mind my business and seek out the hidden local gems even if they are off the beating path. IMHO, that is where the goodness really is. Can I just say we left out with a box of food. We had crawfish étouffée, stuffed peppers, shrimp&chicken po'boys, shrimp pasta, gooey lemon cake, Hubig's NOLA-style pies and a grape Big Shot! Don't judge. We were picking up for others as well. LOL! Everything was good. Seasoning is the key. They do it well at Triangle. I told one of the Aunties we were traveling back home and would be freezing the stuffed peppers. She wrapped them up real nice and tight for us and helped us cary our order to the register. When we first came in, she was giving serious mean auntie. By the time we left, she was all smiles and wishing us safe travels. I love my folks!!!! Shrimp Étouffée 7/10 Shrimp&Fish Po'Boy 7/10 (needed hard roll) Shrimp Pasta 7/10 Stuffed Peppers 8/10 Corn 8/10 Potato Salad (didn't try it) Everything else - taking home Everyone has a different palate/taste buds. But, don't rule a place out because of location. You may really miss out. Happy eating!

Baked macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and potato salad

Here I go again with these gas stations. Once again, a hit with the food. I stopped here for lunch and got a very messy rib plate, but it was one good mess. Every single item on my plate was delicious. I judged the baked macaroni wrongly. Since it looked like it didn't have enough cheese, I thought it would be dry. That was so not the case. It wasn't overly cheesy, but it was just enough cheese and seasoned just right. My ribs were juicy, potato salad was good, and sweet potato was chef's kiss. Now it's a bit pricier option, so if you prefer a more economical lunch, you may have to come here every now and then. The amount of food they pack on the plate, you will have lunch and dinner. It is absolutely worth every penny in both quality and quantity. Down home and local faves on the menu (hint: stuffed bell peppers). The ladies fixing the food are kicks, and they make you feel at home. Good customer service.

Stuffed seafood bell pepper

I decided to stop and triangle for lunch. They have a plethora of options. I set it on the seafood bell pepper special. It was two stuffed seafood bell peppers for $10. The service is pretty straightforward. You walking through the door Go straight to the back and a lovely ladies behind the counter will guide you through the menu if you are confused and take your order. The bell pepper is stuffed with meat and shrimp. One is definitely a meal by itself but two you got something to eat later on. It's a nice, good spot to check out for lunch if you're in the area

Macaroni with cheese, corn and potato salad

Best gas station takeout food ever! When in New Orleans, be sure to stop by for the best selection of soul food, Cajun Creole style, and flavor. Walk around to the right of the cash register, and you will be impressed with the delicious array and selections. The prices are great and so are the serving size. Everything is absolutely delicious. Ladies, this is where handsome, polite, hungry, southern gentlemen go!

Food was so good. Huge portions . Be prepared to stand in line , sides are good to try the red beans and rice

Rubbery... totally not real "catfish"
Cee T.

Well, I heard so much about this place and it's "delicious" food. Ok, I picked up a plate for my hubby. (1) fish & side of Mac & cheese. The fish was cooked to order. It was MASSIVE!!! ((Threw up an eye brow for me)). The Mac & cheese looked delicious from the pan. I wanted to mainly try their cornbread, but was sold out. . Ok, so I get to my car and open the plate it smells delish. I did sneak a taste of the Mac & cheese. Nooooo! Bland and dry.... I was so disappointed. How do you mess up Mac & cheese!!!?? Ughhh. The fish was even MORE massive after frying it. I pinched some crumbs from the side.... Very flavorful, but extremely salty. I guess that's what people like from there, but seems very heart attack ish to me. Tooooo salty! . So my hubby ate around the fish anyways. It was very rubbery inside. This again proved that majority of so called foods we eat is totally fake / GMO crap! Anyhoo.... It didn't meet the bar what it was talked up to be. So yeah... there ya go! Nothing to scroll into on 2 wheels for sure. This was just not a good "soul food" or good "home cooking" food at all. Butttt.... Carry on for those who like it though.

Received burned food and they hung up in my face when I called about it. They also charged us $52 for four small plates that are advertised at ($6.99 each) and a shrimp on bun advertised at ($6.99). The shrimp is salty and it tastes like it's only seasoned with salt. The macaroni are overcooked and barely have cheese in them.

This place is always PACKED... be patient.

Everyone LISTEN!!! Do not waste your time looking for a chain restaurant that serves mediocre food... this is where the locals go so you know it has to good in the hood. Triangle Deli is the Gem of Metairie LA... the service here is AMAZING. The food is unmatched and everything I get here is simply delicious. I recommend trying a little bit of EVERYTHING. The Triangle Deli has made my Platinum List of must tries when in The Crescent City. Trust me you won't be disappointed... So let it be written... So let it be EATEN!!

16" of PoBoy on a normal sized plate.

Got this recommendation from a local and decided to give it a try. It's a deli counter in a gas station and it is amazing! The offerings were simply home-cooked goodness and looked just like Momma used to make. BarBQ chicken and ribs, fried chicken, and an amazing looking meatloaf. Home recipe sides, including Mac and Cheese, mashed taters, and fresh veggies. Despite all that goodness going on, we had to test drive the 'Overstuffed Shrimp and Oyster PoBoys". They come in 8", 16", and 32" sandwiches. I'm a big eater and there aren't many sandwiches that I can't finish, but this one beat me. Perfectly fried oysters on an 8" side and delicious fried shrimp on the other 8". Whether you're a local or a tourist who is looking for a quality meal that a local would buy...this is the place to visit. Friendly service, decent throughput for a relatively busy counter, and simply killer food. Definitely on the list for a revisit.

Gave this place a try as I was in the city visiting family and it was close to my folks' place…read more Brought them with me. Parking lot looks like it stays full but we got in and there were a couple of tables with people and a lot of people waiting for to go. This was around 6pm. Steady stream of people coming in for pick up orders so someone likes it. Good sign lol So the food is seafood boils or Chinese. Didnt feel like getting messy so went with the Chinese side. We all did. Now a lot of people like to judge any Chinese food against the backdrop of "is it Chinese kitchen?". And we are no different lol but having lived away from the city for a long time and finding nothing is Chinese kitchen, you adjust your scale. And this place was fine. I had the four seasons, moms had the shrimp and broccoli and pops had the shrimp lo mein. We all enjoyed. We also ordered a combo fried rice to share. Also fine. Now the egg rolls, again, judging against the one of a kind, they were fine. They at least had shrimp in them. So better than nothing. I would not have a problem eating here again. Also that sweet tea will give you diabetes. I had three glasses lol Our server was attentive. Answered questions. Checked on is frequent. Give em a shot

East Harbor is a newer restaurant, but I'm already obsessed! I'm ashamed to say how many times…read morewe've been there already since we discovered it. If you love seafood boils, you have to come by to try this place out! They have boiled seafood very similar to the kind that's served at Big EZ Seafood and Oyster in Kenner, but they also have regular Americanized Chinese food if you're in the mood for some Chinese takeout. I love their Chinese takeout food too, but the bags of boiled seafood are really the appeal here. Their portions are large and generous, their prices low and cheap, the quality of food is high, and everything is delicious. The boiled seafood here is a little bit different than the truly New Orleanian style of boil you might be used to eating. You can choose the type of seasonings you want (Cajun, spicy seafood, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or a combination of multiple),and you can choose your spice/heat level (mild to extra hot) too. I love the customization! Their seafood "combos" are a fantastic deal. For example, for just $20, you get 1lb of shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage slices. This is my favorite go-to item here for sure. Because it's messy, if you're eating there, they provide you with disposable gloves and a wet wipe, which we all welcome lol Their Chinese takeout is great too and always comes with generous portions. One thing to note is that the takeout items tend to be a little low on salt for my tastes, but that's an easy fix with a salt shaker. I think it's a good thing especially for people who might have dietary restrictions on their sodium intake. Remember, it's easy to add salt to a dish, but nearly impossible to remove it! All in all, East Harbor is a 5-star, must-try, go-to-favorite restaurant! ESPECIALLY for their boiled seafood!!
