    The collard green melt sandwich lived up to the hype. Perfectly toasted and roasted. Just the right about of cheese, slaw and collard greens. Super flavorful without being excessively messy. The cabbage salad was too much of everything. Too big, too spicy, too saucy. All I needed was 3-4 bites.... Unfortunately it was 23-24 bites. The music sounds like hard punk - not my favorite genre but the food and service made up for it. Worth a trip!

    Finally made it to Turkey and the Wolf after living here for 13 years.....and yeah, I get the hype now. We ordered the fried bologna sandwich, collard green melt, chicken pot pie hot pocket, and the hog head cheese taco... every single thing hit. The flavors are creative without being over the top, and somehow still feel like the best kind of comfort food. No line when we went, the food came out hella fast, and the staff was super friendly with great recommendations, which honestly made the experience even better. Definitely one of those spots that lives up to the buzz. I'll absolutely be back.

    You can find Turkey and the Wolf at 739 Jackson Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130 - this was a short walk from where I was staying on St Charles and on the way to the breweries along the Mississippi to the south (I ended up going to Abita and Urban South). My client meeting got cancelled my first day in New Orleans so I decided to do a bit of exploring and thought I'd walk down to Abita and Urban South near the river. Checking out Yelp there were some interesting reviews for this restaurant and it was basically on my way, so this was my first stop. The building is somewhat nondescript - it looks to have been at one point a service station occupying a corner lot. There appears to be some on street parking. Besides the line outside to the door, I observe that most visitors walked up or were dropped off by ride shares. I arrived just before prime lunch time on a Monday - It took about 20 minutes for me to get through the short line outside the door - there were 10 people in line as I was approaching and it got down to 6 by the time I got in line. Once inside the line continues to the counter - around another 10 minutes. Inside all the tables were occupied, most outside were available to after ordering I went there to sit and enjoy the nice day. The menu is pretty simple, with 5 sandwiches and 5 Not sandwiches options. I went with their signature dish, the fried bologna sandwich, with an order of crinkle cut fries. I made the mistake of not grabbing napkins and they don't bring them to the table so make sure you grab some along with any utensils you may need (and ketchup if that's your preference). I also ordered a Diet Coke (canned). The food took about 20 minutes. Fried bologna - $13.99 - leighann's bologna via's mom's hot mustard, potato chips, shrettuce, mayo, and American cheese on big toast. Crinkle cut fries - $3.99 In all I liked the Fried Bologna but thought it a bit too wet - there's something like a slaw made up by the hot mustard, shrettuce and mayo that had things swimming a bit more than I like. The chips gave the sandwich some much needed texture. The sandwich is also incredibly greasy - I attempted a go without a napkin then a couple of bites into realized that I erred - went in with greasy hands to pick up napkins. The fries weren't anything to write home about - I ended up leaving a few - this meal is very filling. For fast casual this place is about what you would expect - maybe a little attitude but that's typical of a trendy spot like this. I tipped 20% which is my go-to amount (keep your staff happy).

    Collard Greens Sandwich

    I read the reviews and heard about Turkey and Wolf for quite a while. And this week was finally my chance to see if it was worth the hype. I read over and over about the Collard Green Melt and I could not understand how greens could go on a sandwich. Well let me tell you, it works and it was well done. First the bread was toasted to perfection and thick enough to handle a potential moist disaster. The cheese and sauces melded together wonderfully. There wasn't much of a line when I went, but I've seen the lines wrap around the building. It was also nice enough to eat on the patio. The inside is a bit tight. The service was nice and I recommend trying it out.

    Quick service and absolutely amazing food! I was excited to try the collard green sandwich and while it was delicious, the burger was incredible. The vibes were really chill and staff were very friendly.

    This sandwich spot is worth going out of your way and waiting in however long the line is to try (I waited about 45 minutes during lunchtime on a weekend). Despite the line, I was easily able to secure a table inside. The interior is full of fun and quirky decor. Wherever you look something unique will catch your eye. The collard green melt was a life changing sandwich. It felt comforting and nostalgic, while being the only collard green sandwich I've ever had. It's tangy from the cherry pepper dressing, creamy from the cheese, and bright from the slaw. Overall extremely flavorful and unique. The fried bologna sandwich was also outstanding and quite large. The textural components couldn't have been better from the soft bread, crunchy chips, and crispy fried bologna. I loved the mustard sauce on it, as it brought the whole sandwich together. Please go here!

    With a line out of the door early on, kind staff, and delicious food- no wonder this place has been recognized by Michelin food-guide! I ordered the Cabbage Salad and my husband the Collard Greens Melt- both incredible and would definitely order again! Plus, their pickle princess drink is perfect for a salty treat! Overall, a must-go for lunch. A little off the beaten path, but 100% worth it. Now we wan to buy the cookbook!

    Turkey and the Wolf - 5 Amazing vegetarian options. I liked their patty melt a lot. It was rich, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. My partner liked their fried "chicken" sandwich better. It had a great crunch and good sauce. Both were delicious though and didn't feel like an afterthought vegetarian option. Definitely worth the stop if you're looking for creative sandwiches with good vegetarian choices. I would come back to try more things on the menu.

    This sandwich shop goes above and beyond with the quality and quantity of food. They are timely in the delivery to the guests with the food as well as turning tables. There is a small inside and outside patio to enjoy. One of the great things they do is take donations to help feed the less fortunate in the community. They ask for $ 8. We made a couple of trips, and nothing disappointed. The servers and the chefs are amazing. This is a great experience in a wonderful neighborhood.

    Fried bologna

    Best sandwich in the country," they said and at this point, we had heard enough hype that we had to check it out for ourselves. There was a long line out the door, and it was drizzling, which didn't help. The line however moved quickly and the weather held up just enough for us to get through it without too much trouble. The setup is café-style: you order at the counter, get a number, and then hunt for a table while waiting for your food. Since the place is almost always packed, it does make you wonder what happens if you don't manage to grab a seat--these are not small sandwiches you can casually eat standing up.Once we managed to get a table, the food arrived quickly. We ordered the bologna sandwich and a salad--portion sizes are massive, so come hungry. And to be fair, the sandwich absolutely lived up to the hype. Bold, slightly eccentric flavors with a nostalgic edge--it's easily one of the best sandwiches I've had. One thing I didn't appreciate was the automatic gratuity plus a tipping screen at checkout. When you're rushed and have a line behind you, it's easy to miss ,until you realize later you've tipped close to 40%, which felt excessive given the format.Service is minimal (as expected in a self-serve setup), which makes the tipping expectation feel even more out of sync. Overall: incredible food, but the experience and pricing mechanics take away from it a bit.

    Turkey and the Wolf are known for their unique sandwiches but this restaurant also believes in supporting local businesses. They are partnering with The Butter Pit a Viet-Cajun crawfish pop up and let me tell you this crawfish is DELICIOUS!! Seasoned to perfection with the right amount of heat (spice) served with garlic mushrooms corn and potatoes. The set up is casual outside dining with cool funky vibes.

    Great spot for a quick lunch (well quick if there isn't a line). I got there about 40 minutes after they opened and a line was already formed. Line moves fairly quick and I had no problem getting a seat inside. I really enjoyed the collard green melt. The space is super cool and gives back to the community.

    Fried bologna sandwich
    Alex V.

    This place rocks!! It's a really small restaurant, a few tables, a long line, and really good food! It's best to go with friends so you can try and find a seat but once you do, you will enjoy really good food on knockoff McD's plates. I got the fried bologna sandwich which was really good, good crunchy chips and then a nice hint of mustard. It was pretty massive but super delicious. I also ordered the fried chicken pot pie, which was more like a fried chicken empanada and probably one of the best things I had the whole weekend. It's good. REALLY good. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THIS. That said, it's worth checking out and it's worth the wait. The line moves faster than you think and they have a good drink selection as well if you want some alcohol.

    Words simply cannot express how much I continue to be blown away by the exquisite quality of food,…read morebeverage, service, and uncommon hospitality demonstrated and perfectly executed by this New Orleans establishment. My wife and I visited on our first NoLa trip together about 4 years ago and make it a point to go every time now. Our first time we stopped in for lunch at the bar and had an excellent experience, and decided to return. We came back on the next trip just to grab a drink and a snack before heading down for dinner in the Bywater. The bartender (Chris) gave a bunch of recommendations for places to visit that way, all of which we have done in the past few trips and have loved. But it's this past trip where we were truly blown away. We were in town for JazzFest and after walking back to the French Quarter, we were thinking about food options and decided to take a gamble to see if we could get a seat at the bar or maybe grab a drink for the road before getting food somewhere else. The bar was full when we got there around 8/8:15, but they had a no show and could serve us, as long as we ordered quickly and were ok with the check hitting the table right at 9PM. Given our slightly (perhaps generous) inebriated state from being at the festival all day and being slightly underdressed, we felt this was quite a kind accommodation. With the clear expectations of needing to get our orders in quickly, we wasted no time making a decision on our drinks and a few food options. Despite this need for a quick turn around, at no time did we feel rushed. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect, as they always are. But what impressed us most was the staff. At no point did the hostess or wait staff seem annoyed by us, despite us parachuting in from a music festival and looking like sunburn and poor decisions. By managing expectations on the front end, we never felt rushed despite the need for a quick turn around. They were all lovely, professional, and as cordial as if we were regulars with standing reservations once a week. In terms of atmosphere, it is always perfect: lively and fun for a date night, dinner with friends/family, or just a nice drink before a night out and about. I truly cannot begin to explain how much I love this restaurant and every experience I've had there. The awards and accolades this establishment (a sincere and lofty term Jewel of the South truly deserves) have been awarded are beyond well earned. Restaurants around the country should aspire to provide the quality of food, service, and overall hospitality Jewel of the South provides on a regular basis. It will continue to be our first and foremost recommendation to anyone we know who is going to New Orleans. Bravo! We shall return!

    Named #44 in the Top 50 Best Bars in the World List, I had high expectations. Supposedly…read morereservations were hard to get, but that is because they allot most of the place for walk-ins, so you don't need to put in the effort that I did to book a time a month in advance. We were seated in the upstairs area and tried some of their drinks. We got the Brandy Crusta which is their most popular drink and the Pouvez-Vous Poulet which is a seasonal cocktail. The Brandy Crusta has the cup dipped in sugar with a fairly strong cocktail within. Definitely get this when you are here as that is one of the best Brandy Crustas and is historical. The Pouvez-Vous Poulet is a duck fat washed rum cocktail and is also very delicious. You cannot really go wrong with any cocktail, but definitely order the Brandy Crusta for the true experience here. Though, honestly, while the cocktails are good, it was not as memorable as the other Top 50 Best Bars in the World that I have been to, but I won't dock a star off because of this, since the cocktails and overall experience otherwise were fantastic. Service is good but can be a bit slow, but it is an acceptable tradeoff for a more quiet ambience compared to downstairs.

Whether sitting at the bar, or in one of the many lounge chairs on the opposite wall, every seat is an excellent. While I knew of the drink French 75, on the bar menu it was offered with either gin or cognac. I decided to try the cognac and so glad I did. Perfectly delicious! It turns out that drink is actually a French 125, so I learned something new that night. Great spot with a great vibe.

    The Sazerac Bar at the The Roosevelt New Orleans prepares an outstanding Sazerac cocktail, as you…read morewould expect. While the Sazerac wasn't invented here, this is arguably its most iconic home, a place where New Orleans cocktail history comes to life. I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.

Inside is low light and old time apothecary mood, menus like a spellbook, but it's not gimmicky. The bartenders move like they've done the reps. Calm. Precise. No frantic showboating, no syrupy cover ups, no sloppy pours even with the parade energy banging on the door. We ordered two and they were both dead on.

Corpse Reviver #2: local gin, Lillet Blanc, Grand Marnier, absinthe, fresh lemon. Cold, crisp, citrus first, then the herbal edge and just enough absinthe to remind you what city you're in. Served in a textured coupe with a cherry skewer, details handled like they actually matter. Outside, the streets were selling amnesia in plastic souvenir cups.

I'm a big fan of sitting at the bar, so as soon as I walked in, it was time to camp out at my favorite spot. Food wasn't on my mind today, so if you're here for a food review, you might want to skip this one . This was strictly a drinks only mission. At first, the bartender was a guy I recognized from Cure, which instantly set the tone. the bartenders there actually know their craft, so I already felt like I was in good hands. Then Zari entered the scene. I'm not sure if she was just getting on shift or wrapping it up, but she completely elevated the experience. I told her I'm a gin person (heavy on the gin), and instead of giving generic suggestions, she actually tailored recommendations to my taste. I ended up ordering the Clover Club cocktail, and it did not disappoint. Balanced, refreshing, and beautifully crafted exactly what I want from a gin-based drink. Then came my bonus round: a shot of Song Cai Dry Gin from Vietnam. Clean, botanical, and surprisingly smooth, definitely not your average gin. If you're into spirits with gumption, this one is worth trying. Peychaud's delivers: the drinks. The vibe is solid, the bartenders know their craft, and the gin selection is impressive.
