Gumbo FTW!

Gumbo FTW!

I ate at Mandina s in New Year s Day, as a lot of places we re closed. What a gift that turned out to be. I closed my eyes and gave thanks for the special of the day, which was soup and sandwich, which in NOLA can translate into gumbo + oyster poboy.

My god. Both were delicious! The...

Hadn't been to NO in about 20 years, but I am from southwest La. We came from New Mexico to visit family in April 2016 and had the best seafood platter I have ever tasted. Everything was cooked just right. I shared with my 5 year old granddaughter, who can put away some shrimp! and then passed ...

If you're looking foroverpriced, worse than average cafeteria food, this place is for you!! Our local hostess recommended Mandina's, but it was a miserable failure! We ordered the calamari (absolutely flavorless, unquestionably without one drop of seasoning, not even the pinchiest pinch of salt); th...

Thank you so much for this warm welcome to New Orleans! The gumbo is perfect in this weather. I really enjoyed the family atmosphere and I am appreciative of the attentive service from everyone. I will pass along the good word at my hostel and return for a proper meal.

I returned for a spice cake...

I was taken there when I was way younger with family that lived in the area. But 2 things are paramount in that BUSINESS in that area, to have your name remembered; Great tasting food and a comfortable local, safe atmosphere. They have it, at a value

After Katrina, I thought this gem was lost forever. We recently went back to Nawlins and I looked it up just in case. It's back and better then ever. The only restaurant I will order turtle soup and for good reason...it is sincerely the best. We had already eaten when we arrived but I didn't hes...

Italian spaghetti sauce is awesome. Offers several variety lunch specials daily. Great portion. With soup and appetizers, 2 people can split 1 entre. Consistent good food each time we went. Eggplant dish is outstanding. Cannot go wrong with any poboy choices. Italian salad can be split 4 ways.

This place was recommended to us by a NOLA resident, so we were quite disappointed. Rather than bread after ordering there were just pre-packaged crackers. The food was quite overpriced for pretty bland food. I ordered pasta with Bordelaise sauce and just got plain spaghetti.

WOW! This place is a hidden gem. Portion sizes are very large and the food is downright delicious. We can highly recommend the Crab Fingers appetizer, gumbo (the bowl is HUGE) and Red Beans and Rice on Monday night (that's when it's a special).

My wife got the grilled shrimp salad and it was cert...

So sad to give this place less than five stars. Let me be clear it wasn't the food. If I was reviewing only the food it would surely earn five stars.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and have never received such poor service as I did yesterday evening. I asked a question about a dish prior...

My out of town guests enjoyed the turtle soup, fried oysters and shrimp, pasta and shrimp and bread pudding. Large dining room with tables for 4. Large groups of families. Casual atmosphere. Good service. Noisy and up beat. A good example of local cuisine.

An OK experience.

I m surprised. The place was quickly packed. And is very highly rated! Almost perfect at what, 4.5 stars?

I ordered the catfish poboy. I do so because I believe if a LA cuisine place can t get a catfish poboy or it s red beans right, it s literally not worth it s salt. ...A C...
