Stopped in for the hog head cheese and it did not disappoint. Well-seasoned, perfectly set, and full of authentic flavor. You can tell it's made the traditional way. A must-try if you appreciate classic Louisiana deli staples. read more

We love the way they treat us very nicely and will always support people and talk about their experiences

Hole in the wall place, nothing fancy, but the food was great! The staff was friendly and it was clear no one who entered had been there multiple times and many commenting to me that they have been coming for as long as they've been open. I had a salad and it was plentiful. read more

The entertainment is 100% The food is terrific !! Wish they were in St.Bernard parish

We took a detour off of I10 to see the Tiny Castle on Irish Bayou and found this local Cajun lunch spot! The owner greeted us at the counter and took our orders. The Red Beans and Rice had so much sausage in it, you didn't need the side, but dat is how day do it! Thank you for the hospitality, kind words, and outstanding food! read more

Vucinovich's Restaurant - Daily special. Jambalaya corn and shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best hole-in-the-wall seafood restaurant in New Orleans in my opinion. Plus, these are the biggest food portions you'll ever find.

Vucinovich is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant for truckers and New Orleans East residents. They're only open for lunch time. Got the Thursday special - fried double chicken breast with spaghetti meat sauce. The breast is almost as big as the togo plate. Flavor-wise was pretty good. And to go with the meal, I got a bottle of green grape soju. read more

Vucinovich's Restaurant - Fried double Chicken Breast w/ spaghetti - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Disaster, and contrary to other yelp reviews. You ever see the movie "Vacation", and the scene where they visit Cousin Eddy, and Clark goes to bite into the sandwich and it explodes/sloppily slides all over the place?... That was my experience Also, $16 bucks for a sandwich with chips & drink? C'mon... The roast beef was well done and over cooked, and just not that tasty... Like I said, contrary to other yelp reviews. The overall experience was sub-standard and disappointing. read more

This off the beaten path place is pretty great. I loved the service and the owner (you'll know him as soon as you walk in from the accent) was a real sweetheart. We got the debris fries and I had a club sandwich. Portions are huge here and made to order. You might as well get a to go box when you place your order because you will be taking some home for later. Trust me. It's one of those places where you order at the counter, are called up to get your food, fill your own drinks and clean your own table kind of spot, so if that's not your thing go elsewhere. But if you like feeling like you're eating lunch at your mom and dem's like I do you will love Vucinovich's. read more

Vucinovich's Restaurant - Most epic club sandwich ever - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

CAJUN LUNCH FOR THEM BIG FOLKS If you're not into authentic Vietnamese foods, Vucinovich is a great Cajun alternative. Truly a popular eastside locals' lunch spot. Its been here for 40 years plus. The employees are both witty and humorous. The local dialect and accent makes it all that much more authentic. Got a huge savory meatball sandwich to share. All the sandwiches and hot plate lunches are seriously sized for big hungry people. Too bad the food can't make me taller by six inches. LoL read more

The chicken and spaghetti special on Thursday's is my go-to! The meal could feed two. Massive! Onion rings were yummy too. Unfortunately, since Covid hit, the menu is much smaller so many items were unavailable which prevents me from ordering on non-Thursdays. read more

I live in New Orleans East and always pass this place without thinking much of it. It just looks like a big house. I have no idea how long this place has been here, but I can only assume that it's older than me! Before Hurricane Katrina, there was a Shell gas station right next to it that was blocking the view to see the restaurant from Chef Menteur Highway. One day, my brother asked me if I wanted to go eat at Vucinovich's for their Thursday special. I said, "Voo-chino-what?? What are you saying?" He had to repeat it a few times and spelled it out for me. He told me that the special was "Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Fried Chicken Filet" and that we had to go get some. He went a few times with his friends before and I didn't even know it existed. I decided to go and I expected us to leave New Orleans East. He just pulled up to this restaurant on Michoud Blvd and I am just MIND BLOWN. At this time, I was a skinny little teenager and I can eat like I'm always at an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. Usually I would eat my meal and still want to eat, but the special actually filled me up! A different time, I was craving onion rings and I ordered some. They give you a mountain load of them, so you definitely can share. This place has a large gravel parking lot and is only open for lunch time. This place does get pretty busy with nearby workers and such, so don't be surprised if you see a filled parking lot when you decide to eat here. When you walk in, there are a bunch of tables and a counter where you order. The man at the counter will always joke with you like you have been friends with him for years. The restaurant is like a big homey cafeteria where you order your food at the counter and pick it up on the side. Overall, it's a nice restaurant with great lunch specials and po boys. Call ahead to ask them what their daily specials are, because sometimes they change. I can proudly say that you don't have to worry about Thursday's specials changings! Come hungry because they really take care of you and make sure you leave full! read more

This is a terrific family diner that will make you feel like you've stepped into a bygone era. I felt like I'd stepped into the 1970s (and I mean that in the best possible way). Open only for lunch, this is a counter service place where you the locals go, which is appropriate, because you will be eating food that is absolutely local. Think comfort food, with substantial portions. The onion rings were divine (and I'm not even an onion ring fan!). The gumbo was top notch, as were the fried shrimp. As a capper, the price point is terrific. You'll leave with your belly full and your wallet intact. read more

So I was here from Denver and just wanted a lunch place that gave you your moneys worth. This is that place. Mom and pops place and the portions, out of this world. Go hungry, and enjoy. I ordered a half chili dog. It had 4 home made dogs and enough chili for a whole meal. It was a lot. The potato salad was the best I've had. Must try! read more

Hubby and I stopped for lunch and loved it. This is one of those places locals know about. I ordered the club sandwich and it was huge. Definitely enough for two to share. Hubby wanted a shrimp po-boy and he was very surprised at the size. Needless to say the portions are generous. The food was awesome! Friendly staff! They made us feel right at home. Only open for lunch and it does fill up fast. read more

Good food , close to work but a little pricey! Nice server! We go here a few times yearly from work !

Very homey, food was beyond amazing! Took my boss and he was throughly satisfied. Will definitely be stopping by again

I ordered two oyster and Fish plates from them today and I'm dissatisfied with the size of the food.The bread is extremely hard, oysters were very small and the fish was thin, and small. The potato salad taste like egg salad. The best thing on the plate was the tarter sauce. The service was friendly, but the food was not worth the price they are charging. read more

Yup... great place to grab a sandwich!!! While I was waiting for my fried oyster Po'boy, another customer went to the counter to get her plate.. it had a HUGE piece of chicken on it that was the size of a table plate!!!! Then she had another plate FULL of spaghetti and red sauce!!! OMG... I wish i had ordered the Special!!! Love the Po'Boy and the fries were outstanding!!! I'm definitely going back the next time I'm in that area!! read more

Has everything you would ever want for lunch. The classics are all here and the daily specials are always hard to pass up. Very reasonably priced as well! read more

Okay, I definitely love this play. I knew it would be a prize when the guy behind the register told one of the employees in an authentic local accent put some more cups out baby! So I was excited from there. I had the pleasure to try the chicken livers, with potato salad. Yes, I actually like livers and it was wonderful and fried to perfection. I actually enjoyed my meal. The venue is fairly big so its accommodating for those looking to dine in. If you like fried foods, they do them right here not too hard and not to soft, just right. I visited during lunch time and they handled the crowds quickly. The place is clean and good things to offer if you just happen to be in Michoud or on your way or back from a visit to Chalmette or even Slidell. read more

35 years as a restaurant in NO. That speaks for itself. This is where locals go to eat or smart tourists who use Yelp. It's only open for lunch. You can order from the menu or get the daily special. It's all good. Portions are large and the atmosphere is casual. It's on the east side of town and a little out of the way but worth it. My Friday seafood special had crawfish étouffée, fish, shrimp, fries, bread and a drink for $15. Most of the menu items are less. This place is worth 4 stars. I recommend. read more

This is a pretty good place for lunch. I had a roast beef po-boy and an order of fries. The rest of my group had the seafood special, a muffeletta and an order of onion rings. Everyone was pleased with their meal. The po-boy used the right bread (leidenheimer) and was pretty good. There was only one size for the muffeletta (whole) and it was giant. You definitely won't leave hungry. It is pretty far away from everything but I would definitely go back if I were out there again. read more

This place gives you that down home, good for the soul feeling. Great food and customer service. Greeted the second I walked in and food was served quickly for lunch. The fish and shrimp platter did not disappoint! read more

So much good food on one platter. I had a platter full of fried shrimp and fish that was so fresh, light and tasty that I inhaled it. The customer service at the restaurant was also top notch. I believe the owner took my order and I normally would frown on a man I don't know calling me 'baby' but it was so endearing that I giggled as I took my to-go bag from him. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to NOLA. read more

Amazing, family-run, genuine New Orleans food!! Po Boys were some of the best i've had.

Great service and good food. Short hours but it's a great lunch spot. Would recommend if you are in New Orleans East during lunch hours.

We ate lunch here the first day of Firefighting school. The amount of food you get is freaking amazing!!! And it's not super expensive. The guys behind the counter are very willing to pick at you and poke fun light heartedly. I love to tell them we are from Alabama!!!! That raises the bar to a whole new level. Great place to eat but you better bring a buddy and an appetite. read more

Vucinovich's is a real diamond in the rough, and out here in no man's land, its very rough. Only open for lunch the place makes decent poboys, but the real treasures are the daily specials. Especially when he does fried chicken. The bone on fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had. some of these specials are static: Mondays are red beans, Thursdays are spaghetti, and Fridays are gumbo or Shrimp Creole. The other two days, Russell fixes whatever he damned well pleases read more

, I'm at a lost for words! I really use to like this place! I went there on 3/2/2020 thought I would take my fiancee to a hidden Gem however I was wrong! I've eaten at a few restaurants in several places outside of New Orleans and think I'm a pretty good judge of good quality food. However yesterday was a complete disappointment. The fish batter was a mixture of cornmeal and flour which isn't working, the Fried Liver which is normally fresh wasn't. It seemed a little old. We'll I don't know if I'll be going back any time soon to give them another chance. read more

The daily specials are big enough for two people to share. Wednesday lunchtime special of spaghetti and a HUGE chicken breast filet Very limited hours, but worth the trip for lunch. read more

I love this place. They have daily specials that always have more than enough food. My favorite special is on Friday. In fact, it's sort of a holiday at the work place. When the clock strikes lunch time, I scream "It's Seafood Friday people!". This special is fried catfish, fried shrimp, fries, and your choice of gumbo or shrimp étouffée. Oh and I also recommend the pink lemonade. read more

This Resturant is the best place for poboys and daily special plates! I wouldn't go anywhere else! Everything made fresh, hot (warmth)and tasty ! The owner is friendly (assuming the man at the counter) and have a good sense of humor! Highly recommend this Resturant ! Hours: Open at 11-2pm Advice: come early before the crowd read more

Absolutely love this place. Family ran and the man up front (probably the owner) is great! Food is always on point! (Even though it's only my third time here) read more
