Mike Pierce MirelesJune 7, 2014The wife got the shrimp po'boy and she really liked it. Plenty of shrimp and the bread was soft and fresh. She would eat this again.
Mirella BroylesAugust 5, 2015Place is by Jackson Square so it's a tourist meal stop. U won't get fab food here, but its not bad. Service was good and friendly. I had a pretty good burger and my hubby had a good fried fish dish.
David HicksMay 28, 2017Breakfast is good, just know everything is eggs . the beignet strips are very good, and lots of them for the price!
Gabrielle MeltonOctober 25, 2017The muffuletta was delicious! Beautiful interiors with wide open doors, great service. Definitely worth a stop!
Daniel KilkennyJuly 31, 2016The seafood plate dishes are amazing. The beans and rice with the fried fish is great for an authentic experience of NOLA
Great value- huge portions at prices considerably lower than comparable restaurants- friendly staff, good drinks, food came out quick, & they take plastic
Terri MorawieckiSeptember 15, 2013Great off bourbon food. The muffuletta is amazing, get one. Can't go wrong with the $1 house wine. Nothing special but it's cheap!- Brian McGuirkOctober 1, 2021Everything, basically. Jambalaya, gumbo, even the simple but delicious red beans and rice.
- Karen JohnsonOctober 30, 2011Awesome place, recommended by locals. Great taste/value for the money. Try the oyster po boy, seafood plate, red beans and rice. :)
Aaron GrossmanJune 30, 2013Not sure where the negative comments come from. Veggie muffuletta was quite good and prices were very reasonable for a sit-down restaurant. Decent. Staff was very friendly
$5 liters of wine, $1 glasses. I get the appetizer trifecta: jambalaya, gumbo, red beans n rice. $15 total.
Great food. Great prices. I always get the catfish sandwich. So good. The seafood platter is great as well. And a lot of food!
Linda MiklowitzApril 30, 2014They have veggie muffalettas with melted Swiss cheese and their own olive tapenade! $7
- Marc PApril 6, 2015Sat at the bar. Bartenders were friendly. My mom loved her $1 Strawberry Daiquiri.
Brandon WoodieAugust 6, 2013$5 liters of wine and $8 chefs salad with grilled shrimp when you're on a budget ;)
Alysha KristineJuly 8, 2013The po-boys are huge and really good. I didn't really care for the fries.
Ms WineglassNovember 3, 2011Great find! One of thr few spots left with low prices... $1. Daquiries...but do the large for $3
Anamaria HernandezNovember 19, 2015Muffuletta is delicious but they have daiquiris on the menu but don't sell them anymore. Which isn't horrible except try try to upsell their expensive sangrias.
Bonnie UrestiMarch 9, 2014It was a muffa-effin-lotta crap. This place is a tourist trap. The jumbalaya was rice with tomato sauce on it and the "house salad" was brown iceberg lettuce with cheese and two cherry tomatoes.
Chris S.March 11, 2014The jambalaya was very mediocre - not remarkable in any way. The catfish sandwich is like a big Filet-o-fish and the fries are totally frozen. I expected a bit more from this place.
Come see me behind the bar on Thursday's! Cold cheap abita on tap!
James CarterAugust 2, 2010Mufaletta (?) is great but be hungry. Also tried the Jambalaya. Good but not better than other places. Try something else first for adventure.
Cathy NewtonJanuary 16, 2014Stay away from Strawberry Daiquiris unless u like coconut! They use coconut rum so it's not really strawberry but it is defiantly coconut! Yuck!
Billy LewisSeptember 1, 2014Meh! Nothing special. Good in a pinch. But if you don't want to "waste a meal" while in New Orleans and on a culinary adventure then don't stop here.
Stephanie RodriguezMarch 12, 2013This place is gawd awful. Food was bland & cold. Fish tasted like it was frozen, & sausage tasted odd. Not even the cheap scotch got rid of the gross taste in my mouth. As a tourist I expected better.
