Fried alligator. Nice! The onion soup delicious. All menu is fine.

Great draft beers? Reasonable oysters. I visited on Ash Wednesday so that isn't a fair day to judge them. But I did. Good enough, but you can do better.

Give all your money to the red haired magician out front. World famous magician tommee pickles. call him tammy to get an extra awesome magic trick

Fantastic service, amazing food beyond just oysters. Try the crawfish ravioli or redfish, you won't be disappointed.

Service was quick and we got our food within 20 minutes of sitting down. Food was spectacular. Sit on the second floor if you can, the view is incredible!

Amir and Allison at the bar, the A-Team. Fantastic time. Also, free appetizer with four square check-in (just gotta order 2 entrees).

Ask Cisco to make you one of his specialty drinks! He doesn't have the title mixologist, but he deserves it! Will not disappoint!

The oyster pasta is amazing!! I am not a fan of fried oysters, but wow, what an awesome dish!

The oyster tacos are really small bites of nachos. They were good and just the amount I needed.
Ami ChangAugust 15, 2015
Go for chargrilled oysters, you won't regret!
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)June 10, 2011
Charbroiled oysters were succulent, order the dozen! If you like the ones at Drago's, you'll love the ones here. The owners own 8 other restaurants in New Orleans, very friendly service.
Esti MarieApril 25, 2013
Great bloody Mary's , seriously the best!! The oysters were great too!!
Grady FitzgeraldApril 15, 2014
My favorite NOLA seafood place. The oysters royal and crawfish cakes are delicious.
Terri KanaiSeptember 4, 2014
Oysters Royal are to die for! Don't forget to add Crystal Hot Sauce on it!!
Luis Ricardo HdzNovember 16, 2015
Try the étouffée, simply delicious! The charbroiled oysters are good too.
Shannon LittleMarch 5, 2013
The blackened shrimp and jambalaya is amazing! The reddish has a steak like consistency and is very rich. Yum!
Nick JohnsonDecember 13, 2014
My very first Po' Boy sandwich, and it was pretty great.

Nyreen GJune 26, 2013
Sit at the bar with Willie he's the best, if he is off sit at a table and enjoy the yummy food!
Matt DermodyAugust 2, 2015
Crawfish Cakes taste kind of like thanksgiving stuffing with a remoulade on top. Do It
AmerMay 11, 2015
This place is great. The oysters were so fresh. Jeffrey, the bartender, was friendly and very informative.
Carrie X.September 22, 2013
Love this place! The redfish beignets are heavenly... Ask about the discount for locals ;)
Fred TurkingtonNovember 7, 2017
Superficial and touristy - not at all what I was expecting after reading reviews on here. It's cacophonous, and the oyster "tacos" are fried oysters served on crappy, underseasoned tortilla chips.
Roberta MonteiroNovember 9, 2014
Taste of New Orleans is completely AWESOME! Try it
Kate FurmanJanuary 11, 2016
Sit upstairs on the balcony and enjoy the live street music.
John WelchSeptember 7, 2018
No martini glasses, yet they were $12 a piece. Although there were few people there; the waiters gathered among themselves and chatted while they could have been attentive to my hand waving in the air
Carlos PorfirioDecember 7, 2019
Shrimp gulf tortellini & Black shrimp jambalaya are delicious
Lindsey BAugust 9, 2014
Crab claw appetizer is so good. Also get the charbroiled oysters.
Gabriel HayesFebruary 20, 2015
Cajun Bloody Mary is spicy and delicious
Sara ElizabethNovember 17, 2012
Delicious food... If it comes out hot. Was here around 2pm and my dish came out 20 min after everyone else's. Checks took 25 min. Etc.
Priya TungrusAugust 27, 2015
Make sure you try the charboiled oysters and club claws - delicious!!
Alyssa KDMarch 2, 2014
I never eat grits. Ever. And the shrimp and grits was the best thing I've had in a ridiculously long time.
Paul KoleckeDecember 20, 2014
The crab claw appetizer is delicious.
Garrett EbersoleDecember 9, 2015
Tour of New Orleans is a great entree sampler. Good oysters.
Talia PerrottaApril 2, 2013
From one out of towner to another. Get the chargrilled oysters. Dozen or you'll wish you had (we did!)
Helen BerhaneJune 10, 2021
