Food is midd used to be well seasoned. Service requires more attention to detail. Ambiance reminds me of a high school cafeteria after church. read more

I'm so disappointed! We needed food to nurse our hangovers we had, and this food was horrible! 1st off, I wanted oxtails, and they didn't have those. So I got the smothered pork chops, which were paper thin and dry as hell and not smothered! Then my sides were yams, greens, and white rice. Came with Mac n cheese, too. I literally had 3 squares of yams. My guy had 2 squares, YES, we counted!!!!! They gave him a fat bone filled ham hock with no meat or gristle or nothing and scrimped on the can greens they served us. The Mac was orange with no seasoning. The pork chops weren't fried. I assume they baked those they were like eating a plastic paper plate. The best part of the meal was the white rice. I also forgot he had fried cat filets, and he said they were good. Of course, I'm never going back. Smh read more

Food was really good everything was seasoned it was big portions sweet tea went crazy staff is great me and my girl loved it

5 stars for sure. The service was beyond hospitable. Omg, the food was amazing and plentiful. This was our first time eating here. We were able to get in and sit with no problem. Our food came out pretty fast. Order was exactly on the spot. Extremely large portion sizes. So many flavors. This was truly soul food at its best. The ladies were friendly and inviting. The ambience was family oriented and relaxing. We will most definitely return when we are in NOLA. read more

Two Sisters 'N Da East - Smothered oxtails, rice, Mac & cheese & yams. Smothered turkey legs, rice, Mac & cheese & yams. potato salad & cornbread. - Soul Food Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've been been here a number of times and the food is okay. Guess I'm just waiting for that WOW factor. To me, the food isn't seasoned with a variety of spices like other soul food places I've visited. That said, I still plan to support this Black Owned Business with hopes that they'll improve the flavors. With COVID-19, they are no longer allowing dine-in services, only take out. They do have hand sanitizer on the order table that blocks guests from going into the dining area and face coverings are required for service. We ordered three dinners to go on Father's Day: oxtails, smothered pork chops and I got smothered rabbit. The candied yams on my plate were exceedingly sweet as if someone thought they were making Kool-Aid from the 80's lol. I couldn't eat them at all. The rabbit serving was a huge cube like piece of meat sitting on top of rice and gravy. The pros: Their cornbread is always on point and the serving size is plentiful. The meatloaf is also good and you get three sides with each meal. The service is great, friendly and welcoming. The cons: Lacks that traditional soul food spice flavor and the oxtails have too much fat on them. They do have a steady fan base of customers, which is a good thing and I'm sure that will never change. Again, I plan to continue to support them and try other meal options but I'd love to see their food flavors elevate. read more

If you've been to this place then you'll know that it's the best Southern Soul Food in New Orleans. Located in a quaint and somewhat neglected area east of New Orleans lies this small quaint transformed Pizza Hut building into a country soul food restaurant. They specialize in cooking country well seasoned food food from Fried Chicken, Neck Bones, Ham Hocks, Turkey Necks, Pork Chops, and even a southern delicacy offal called Chitterlings. Which are affectionately known by the locals as Chittlin's. All of which can come on a bed rice and white beans. They suggest eating them with hot sauce just for nice Louisiana spicy kick. read more

Met up with a friend here for lunch. We had always wanted to check this place out, but never decided to go even though we're from New Orleans East. The place looked a bit rundown, but this place has probably been here for years. The restaurant is pretty secluded with plenty of parking spots for customers. Walking in, we were promptly greeted and seated. The menu is pretty simple and just screams, "Soul Food!" My friend ordered the Stewed Oxtail Dinner and I ordered the Fried Chicken Dinner. I forgot the choices of sides, but we both had the Potato Salad and Cabbage with our entrees. After barely catching up with my friend, the food comes out in no time! I was thoroughly impressed. We actually got more sides than I had thought it came with. In addition to the rice and gravy, potato salad, and cabbage, our entrees also came with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes! All of that included for just under 10 bucks? Yes, please! I knew all of this food was going to put me into a food coma, but I went all in! The sides were cooked nicely and seasoned well. I was excited for the cornbread, but it was pretty sad. It had good flavor, but it was so dry and crumbly. It was fine, but I did not want to finish it. I liked the fried chicken, but it was nothing too spectacular. I had one of my friend's stewed oxtail and I absolutely loved it! It was so tender and just fell off the bone. It came out piping hot and was full of flavor! After our meal, I ended up ordering some food for a couple of friends for take out and they came out so hot and fresh. The server even showed me each to-go entree before packing it up to, which was a really nice gesture. My friends were amazed by how much food there was and also loved their entrees! Overall, a great spot for some good ole soul food in NO East! The portions are huge and easily shareable. I have to come back to try some different things, that's if I'm not tempted to ordering the Stewed Oxtail! read more

I love Two Sisters. Good, reliable soul food. I just wish they were open later because it's not often that I'm out this way for lunch. My favorite is the smothered turkey necks but I tried turkey wings on my last visit and they were good as well. read more

Very cute family homey type of feel, food is good eat like Sunday dinner at grandmas , fast paste and cool staff.

Love this place the oxtails and red beans were so good and the service was also fast. Just wish they had better hours I'm only able to go when I have a off day read more

Delicious food! We tried the ribs, smothered chicken, pot roast and shrimp. We've been visiting restaurants all over New Orleans and this place wins! The helpings are generous and the meals are filling. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will make another visit for sure. read more

If you are looking for a Soul Food Restaurant in the New Orleans area, then this one will definitely fit the bill! Excellent customer service first and foremost, followed by a rotational daily menu with a assortment of Soul Food favorites: Smothered Pork Chops, Smothered or Fried Chicken, Turkey Necks, Rabbit, Chitterlings, Ox Tails, Fried Pork Chops are just some of the offerings that they serve. I decided to order the Rabbit, Smothered Cabbage, White Rice, Yams, Sweet Peas, and Cornbread with Potato Salad and Sweet Tea. The Rabbit literally fell off the bone and the cabbage was like momma, and I didn't have to wait long for the food to come out smoking hot! The portions are definitely going to be enough for the price (you will need a take away container), and they are routinely packed even through the recent living conditions. It definitely is a place worth visiting to eat certified Soul Food! read more

For starters, if I could leave negative stars I would. I have been a fan of this restaurant for ages and it's honesting heartbreaking the way it's depreciated over the year; for starters the staff outright lied to our faces on multiple occasions; we were told they were out of specific dishes that weren't crossed out on the menu just to overhear them give out the meal "they didn't have" to other customers, what we choose to order didn't come as described and as a person fighting high cholesterol I find rude that they chose to pass off smothered chicken as fried chicken bathed in gravy, we were also told upon entry it would be a twenty minute wait to be served only for people to come in after us and be immediately taken care of. And that was just the food and the service on it's own, the environment itself was disgusting, there wasn't any proper air circulation, there were tables left sticky and un-bussed, and I saw more than one bug flying around. Overall for the money spent and the efforts to even get there in the first place, save your money and cook your own soul food at home read more

I never make it out to the East, so when I found out I was going to be in the area I hopped onto Yelp and started researching places where I could eat. Hey, I might as well eat some good food if I am going to be in the neighborhood. Enter Two Sisters 'N Da East. People on Yelp raved about this place, so I decided to stop in and check it out for myself. I was here pretty early for lunch- about 11:30 and the restaurant was fairly empty. I was told to sit anywhere and the waitress brought me a complimentary garden salad, potato salad and corn bread. Well, I like this place already! The salads were delicious and the corn bread went nicely with my meal. The menu changes daily, and one of the specials of the day was black eyed peas with hot sausage, so I got that. A HUGE portion of black eyed peas over rice came out and I couldn't have been more delighted. The dish was flavored with bits of ham and really delicious. The hot sausage was perfect and was obviously home made and it went wonderfully with the black eyed peas. This was a lot of lunch, so I ate half and enjoyed the rest later that night. The staff here is so friendly and they make sure that you are happy with everything that you order and check on you regularly to see if you need anything else. I will definitely return to Two Sisters and I would say that the food is so good I would probably make a special trip just to eat here. They even do takeout, if you aren't in the mood to sit and eat. This is home cooking at it's finest and you won't be left disappointed. read more

If you are in New Orleans East and are looking for some Soul Food this is your spot. This is the "sister" Restaurant of Two Sisters Kitchen in Mid City. This joint is in a former Pizza Hut location but has that cozy mom and pop atmosphere deep in Da East as they say. The menu changes every day and offers a full array of soul food dishes like fried chicken, shrimp oyster and catfish platters, collard greens, turkey necks, smothered chicken, red beans, cornbread... you get my drift. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. Some of my favorite things here are the gumbo, stuffed bell peppers, and the collards. The fried chicken is good a well. Everything is well seasoned and tastes just right. This is a cash only spot so don't come in with credit cards, hit the ATM prior to. read more

The Bell Peppers!!!!! I live for bell peppers and these didn't dissappoint. Great size and actually gives you two filled with yummy goodness as well as shrimp! The plate comes with Mac N Cheese, Cornbread, Potato Salad, Sweet Potatoes, and gravy and rice if you want that as well. The plate is huge and will last you two days if you like. It is soooooooooo good. If you love soul food you need to check this place out. I'm not a big soul food person but this place definitely makes me want to eat it all the time and this huge plate was only 9 bucks people! read more

Not many restaurants in the area, but this place is sure to please. Soul food restaurant open for lunch. The food comes out super quick. Large portions. Everything was less than $12. Friendly staff here. Really good cornbread and lemonade. Will definitely be back. read more

Food is awesome. I had oxtails. Customer service was terrible . I called for a phone order. And had to end the call for personal reasons. Called back in 2 minutes and the said they are not taking phone orders. Then the guy had the nerve to raise his voice at me . Asked could I come in at order. First there is no dining in. I would have to drive 20 minutes to get there, a 15-20 minute wait for the food all to eat it out of a styrofoam plate. read more

I'm a little surprised that the reviews for this place were so varied. Let me set the record straight -- this place definitely deserves a 5-star rating. Having moved away from New Orleans many years ago, I'm always looking for good places to go when I return. My uncle and I found this place on Yelp, and desired to check it out. We made the right call. He had the smothered chicken and I had the red beans and rice with it sausage. We were both very pleased with our selections. The portions were quite generous. I was able to finish my entire meal, including potato salad and cornbread. My uncle's dish was a bit too generous, and he wound up asking for a take-out box to pack up the remainder for later. Most impressive was the service. The woman who waited on us visited us regularly to see how we were doing and if we needed anything else. Because we arrived there at a time when the restaurant wasn't too crowded, we occasionally chatted with us and made us feel right at home. read more

Great food. Friendly people. Down home cooking for a great price! Definitely need to add this place to the list of places to try if you've never been there and want some southern fair. I went in and sat down and was waited on immediately. It's homey. Seat yourself and they bring you everything. Make sure you try the strawberry lemonade. It wasn't on the menu, but I saw someone else with it and asked what it was. My family is from Alabama and this reminded of the food I grew up eating. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

The food is like a decent home cook. Definitely not restaurant quality. The chitterlings however are NOT cleaned. Do NOT order them. It's like they take them out the bucket and put them right in the pot. If your are looking for soul food there are so many other quality places to go. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch here when I was in the area. Easy to miss when you're speeding down the highway, but it's right next to the Winn-Dixie plaza! Plenty of seating -- it wasn't too crowded on a weekday. I took it to-go and my meal lasted me 3-4 meals! Got the smothered fried pork chop dinner. Their portions are HUGE, and come with so many different things: rice+gravy, 2 large slices of pork chop, veggies, potato salad, and a huge piece of cornbread. They threw in some sweet potatoes as well, which was not part of the meal I ordered according to their menu, which was nice. All of this for ~$10, what a steal for some great quality food! I'm not from the area, so the food was a little salty for my taste, but I enjoyed the guilty pleasure. Two Sisters definitely did not disappoint! I will definitely be back to try the smothered okra and shrimp, which was highly recommended to me by the kind lady who took my order. read more

Epitome of Soul Food! Come here for a good home cooked meal! Warning! You must bring your appetite because the portions are far from small!

I ate here twice and the food is only okay. Its not bad but not spectacular either, I'm just highly critical of soul food. I ordered the shrimp and okra plate which comes with cornbread and potato salad. It's served over rice and in red gravy. The gravy was tart and could've been a bit more savory. The cornbread was okay, it was thick and....it was just okay. No complaints about the potato salad. On my next visit, because I like to give places second chances, I ordered the Tuesday special. It came with two stuffed bell peppers, gravy and rice, and mac n cheese & greens for sides. The lady who took the order was extremely accommodating when there was only one stuffed pepper left and she offered a free meat with my meal. I chose smothered pork chop. I'll start with the good, the sides weren't bad, nothing life changing. The stuffed pepper was decent. As for what I didn't like, the gravy was too thick and tasted on the verge of being burnt. I chalk it up to gravy preference. The pork chop was okay but bc it was in the gravy, I didn't care for it. If you like soul food, I do recommend trying them out because everyone has different preferences when it comes to how soul food is prepared. It just didn't do it for me. The only thing I'll be returning for is the candy lady outside selling pralines lol, they were so delicious! read more

My Solid Go-To Spot for Soul Food! Always fresh, always more than enough food. I usually do Smothered Pork Chops and Smothered Okra & Shrimp. I always ask and received the "small pork chops" which I thoroughly enjoy. Never had a problem. Never had an issue. Consistently good read more

The food ain't the same since moving to the east it doesn't taste the same. The potato salad is nasty the portions are small.

Went today for the Chitterlings and they were amazing. The waitress lady was very nice. The woman taking the money wasn't too friendly. Everything was really good. The potato salad ..

You can choose your vegetable; Sweet Peas, Mustard Greens, etc read more
