“If you want a yummy, oversized burger, this is where you should go. It was perfectly cooked and served with a baked potato. You can even add chives and bacon bits for free! One of the things I loved the most was the fact that the bun size was perfect for the burger... not so big that you couldn't see or taste the meat. The service was fast and friendly, and the price for an 8 oz. Cheeseburger was very reasonable.“
“This gem was suggested as a "must do" on a recent trip to New Orleans for my donut loving 9 yo. It did not disappoint!The service and atmosphere were great but man the food... best bite during the entire 3 day trip! Hubby and I had the Big Bird Breakfast and little dude inhaled 2 of "the best chocolate donuts ever!"“
“Every beer we tried was delicious. Cocktails were much better than expected for a brewery. The food also blew us away. Possibly best chicken I've ever had. Sure it's not an easy walk from the Bourbon Street festivities, but catch an Uber from a main street and it'll be a nice change of pace that is definitely worth it.“
“We had the Creole Queen beignets, fries, and warm apple beignets, they were delicious! The next day we went back for the Creole Queen grits. Oh my gosh ya'll, they are the best grits I've had, buttery, melt in your mouth goodness!!“
“Stumbled upon this place, and we were pleasantly surprised. The "gentleman" that greets and ultimately seats you can be a bit abrasive but it can be overlooked as the food is no fuss awesomeness! Burgers and such cooked as you wait and everything we had “
“This is not fancy, this is an epically perfect dive bar. We headed here in NOLA to watch MSU game for the tournament. There were plenty of TVs, comfortable seating, and we sat right at the bar. Bartender was attentive, knowledgeable, and hilarious. Also the drinks are NOT weak! The food was totally perfect, definitely recommend the pizza and the potato skins. We did a lot while in New Orleans but this was one of our fav experiences.“
“After a long trip and waiting to settle into the hotel we found this spot not more than a block away and kept going back over the course of the week even though we were just visiting and not for the convenience but the service was fantastic the food was amazing and overall just an incredible spot to check “
“This place has character. From the moment you walk up to the build, to the memes on the wall. I got the mushroom bacon Swiss and it lived up to my expectations completely. The price isn't bad either. I'd eat here anytime it gets suggested by friends.Vegetarian options: They have an impossible burger version of their burgers. Not everyone's cup of tea, but they are attempting to be inclusive.“
“Stopped by this burger joint on a whim and wow, was I blown away! The burger was the star of the show – perfectly greasy, in the best way possible, with a flavor that just wouldn't quit. Every bite was a juicy delight. The service matched the quality of the food – friendly and on point. The atmosphere? Just the right mix of laid-back. If you're looking for a burger that satisfies in all the right ways, this is the place. Can't wait to go back! Definitely a NOLA Jem. Lastly sounded like the owner was trying to feed his employees after a long night, that means more to me than any good meal. An owner that respects his employees is 5 stars and deserves repeat customers!! Try this place you won’t be disappointed“
“We stopped in for a quick meal before heading to the airport, with 10 teenagers who play in a band for our show choirs here in Texas. They put some tables together for us and the kids enjoyed the fun diner atmosphere. The food was fantastic, portions were big enough to fill up our teenage boy's appetites, the staff were wonderful and made us feel right at home!“
“Food is off charts good. Chef's check on you and are always nice. Too many good choices to name but I've ate almost everything in menu and it's always great. Quick dining trip or sit and visit while small tables but exceptional food. Small place with small tables but excellent appetizers and entrees. Try it you'll love it.“
“We've been to New Orleans many times and I can't believe we didn't come to Evangeline sooner! Such great service; our waitress introduced me to their house-infused vodka, and it was the best drink I've ever had. The food was amazing with the perfect amount of creole heat. We will be back!“
“We had a group of 12. Our waitress was fabulous. She took care of everyone in a timely fashion. I haven't had a Ground Pat'i in years. Just as I remember. It was cooked to perfection. I do miss the pewter mugs that they used YEARS AGO?“
“We thoroughly enjoyed the fried fish plates. One had onion rings and the other had fries. All was prepared gluten free. Food was prepared fresh and was very good. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: All fried seafood is gluten free and is excellent. They also offer grilled fish and shrimp.“

“I’ve been coming to Original Thought for almost a year now and every visit is a 10/10. ?? The owner is always so so kind & thoughtful with our food & requests & it’s just such a nice environment to go for good food & a friendly experience ??“
“I drove around this place a few days ago and decided to stop today. I wish I would've taken a photo but the food was so hot and fresh I couldn't help but to dig in. At first, I was on the fence about the sauce not being tossed on the tenders however once I got out of that mindset, I was very pleased and preferred that the sauce was on the side. The tenders were so crunchy, juicy, and fresh, the fries were seasoned perfectly, crispy, and hot. To my surprise they have crushed ice similar to sonic ice but not as big. So for all my ice eaters who love to finish their drink, shake the cup, and eat the ice, this place is for you. There's also outdoor seating incase you'd want to sit down to eat. Thanks, Guys 10/10“
“Came in today and got their special of the day - the spaghetti. It was really good. Packed with flavor and very satisfying. Also had the mixed vegetables that were great as well. The service was great, everyone was kind and welcoming. I got mines to go, but there's a decent amount of seating inside. It's a very chill place to go to and relax while you eat. I'll definitely be back. I keep hearing about these seafood egg rolls, which I'll get on my next visit. Please go out and support these good people.“
“The wings aren't that good to me anymore, but that bbq burger. Best in the city. It's so good.12/15/23 update: so, I retried the wings and OMG. They were bomb, just make sure to tell the cashier to fry the wings crispy. That was game changing.“
“It's a great place for a typical small dinner. The breakfast was spot on and we had a good time. I gave it four stars because it's not very big and they cram everyone in so you are very close to other groups. The food and service are five “
“This little cafe that is attached to the LA Children’s Museum is a great spot for a quick bite or snack or a full lunch. They have a good menu of sandwiches and salads. Their pastry counter is my favorite though, can’t leave without a homemade pop tart or a delicious cinnamon roll ?“
“Food ALWAYS hits!!I've had almost every burger and every chicken sandwich and every salad..Favorites repeats were the hot chicken sandwich and Cobb salad pictured here.Bartenders all friendly, I only have 30 minutes for lunch so I like to call ahead so it will be ready but if you come at an off peak time you should be golden.“
“Great food and atmosphere. I would highly recommend in this restaurant to anyone. Great place to go and it won’t break the bank.Parking: Pull into the parking lot and walk in, unless it’s a holiday or event, then you may need to arrive early.Kid-friendliness: There are many of high chairs in the restaurant and a kid friendly menuWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair can be used throughout the facility“
“We were in town for a football game and looking for a drink and bite to eat on the way home. Thank goodness we found this place! The food was AMAZING! Usually I don’t trust steak at all bad, but the steak was perfect, as was my tuna steak. Even the mac and cheese was so good. We will definitely be back!“
“The restaurant is clean, and the service is amazing and fast. The food is slways blazing hot and fresh. Better than finger licking good!! I have never cleaned a chicken bone, but I do now at Wings Up. Best chicken. Prices are very reasonable.Parking: Large off highway parking lot.“
“Came thru one nite after my husband and I attended a wedding. I wish I had pic but I didn't order anything for me really. Just ate off my husband's roast beef po-boy that was nice size and good, my daughter had the cheese sticks they sell. Lordy!!! Definitely have to get some with any order. Lightly battered and so cheesy with authentic mozzarella! Open late for whatever your need may have been. We door dashed it to our hotel and their food was hot and fresh untampered with and still good for them to eat.“
“We didn't plan to eat there, in our group we had a wheelchair friend, we were asking to use their restroom, we kind they allowed her, we saw the menu, order and very good food, hospitality and atmosphere. Love it.Wheelchair accessibility: That is how we felt welcomed there.“
“Went here for my 54 bday and had the time of my life with family and friends. We ALL enjoyed ourselves. That chicken plate was right on time???? the drinks were hitting right and we got our groove on the DJ did his BIG ONES????????????????????“

“I've got to say that this is hands down the second best burger I've had in my entire life! (I'm ashamed to admit that the best was actually in Shreveport.) Big, juicy, cooked perfectly!The wait staff was cheery and helpful but a little bit slow.Everything looked clean and fresh!“
“Great food, reasonable price, great service. The only thing that I would change is the fact that they don't have a tomato soup that is paired with their grilled cheese sandwich. When we ordered the grilled cheese, we were surprised that they did not have a tomato soup that went along with it. I think that is one big thing that is lacking from their menu.“
“Stopped by Beachcorner last night. It was very busy and a little loud. There was a little wait for the food because it was only two gentlemen working which was totally understandable. There was one guy cooking the food and making drinks lol the great part was the customer service. These guys had a system set up and both worked well together. No matter how busy it would get, everyone was given great customer service and both gentlemen smiled the entire time. The burgers were good just not seasoned enough. Lol We still enjoyed everything. My friend ended up ordering more burgers to go. It was her first time. Thank you to the gentleman for making my green tea shot ?“
“Casual eatery on Oak Street. The burgers are delicious and are made to order! My personal favorite is the Uptown Burger, which comes with goat cheese and roasted Roma tomatoes. If that doesn't sound appealing, just try it! Don't forget the side order of onion rings. I swear these are the best I've had. The service is typically quick.“
“Stopped in prior to flying back to the Midwest to kill some time- what a great choice. We were looking for some good wings. Didn't disappoint! The customer service was fantastic- offered us sauces to try and made suggestions proofing to ordering. We had the mango Cajun, garlic parm, sweet red chili glaze and Louisiana hot. The wings were huge!!! Crispy, and flavorful. Definitely would be our new wing spot if we lived there! Stop in if you are looking for great food and service!“
“Traveling with a group. Cook was on floor trying to explain why food not done. Didn't have counts right. Should have focused more on food prepWaitresses were wonderful and worked hard. If in large groups, they struggle to get orders right even when pre-ordered well in advance.“
“Bar & Grill. Good variety on menu. Food was good but a little higher priced than some other nearby places. Bloody Mary was more than just a drink-it had its own theme park experience going on...lol! Atmosphere is laid back vibe but service was on point.“
“I had gumbo it was just okay. And I also had catfish on yellow rice with crawfish bisque sauce over it .. and it was soooooo good I definitely recommend it . Service was not so great we had the bar tender whom only worried about the bar top we had to fiend for ourselves although we were on the full service side . Ice cream was great .. I would definitely come back but maybe pick a different area to sit in“
“Wow, I'm glad I found this place. It was exactly what I was looking for. Found it on Google with a lot of great reviews. I was in town for business and ordered a to go. Girl at the front counter was very helpful and polite. I ordered the Company Burger with bacon and a side of fries. Reminded me of a good "bar" burger with just that little bit of grease that I like. Definitely not a "chain" burger place. Also tried the house tea, that was very good. Next time I'm in town, I'll be back.“
“Parking: I work across the street at Tulane sometimes and they let us park there for free. It's so very helpful and convenient to not have to fund parking, pay for parking ,or have to walk far to get to work. Thank you guys for all your help and consideration! Much appreciated ?“
“I love this place! If I lived a little closer I would be there most nights. They make a good solid burger. My only gripe is the lack of liquor selection, otherwise I would give them 5 stars. The music I've heard there is awesome and always entertaining. Very friendly staff!!“
“The appetizers were a delight! We sampled a bunch, and I'd recommend the boudin spring rolls for sure. The menu could use an update since they don't offer a couple of items that are still listed, but the staff was friendly and patient to explain what they no longer had available. The atmosphere is a bit lackluster, but it's Metairie so I get it. We placed a pick up order, so we were able to wait next door at a local bar; the staff was so nice that they offered to bring the food to us next door when it came out! I'm definitely calling more orders in for pick up in the future ?“
“The onion rings!!! I hate onions, but these guys have a way for me to love them. The burgers are amazing too. Thats all I can say. My family ate here at least 5 times. Everytime wanted to try the shakes, but never had enough room for them.Good job to everyone that works here.“
“Central Poboys make the heartiest, filling, delicious poboys. They are a busy lunch spot but customer service can't be beat no matter how busy they are! I always order a large ham and cheese poboy and mozzarella sticks when I am working as an actor at New Orleans Nightmare. Just 1/4 of the poboy right before the show keeps me going. The poboys also keep amazingly in the fridge, so get a big one and enjoy it for 2 days.“
“My friend and I have lunch two or three times a month and I randomly pick a place so we are always trying something new. We had decided on going to the mall so wanted to eat lunch first. I read they have great burgers so...need I say more. Great local place outside patio we were the first people in excellent service the food was spot on. Yes the burgers are that good“
“The food is incredibly good! the service is more than fantastic and hospitable. it's like you are eating at an old school diner with home cooked meals you would only get from your grandma. if you are in the area or not, this is a must stop!“
“Absolutely delicious. I was skeptical since they self claim they have the best tamales but they Definitely have a run in that claim. Will be back if for the tamales alone. Shrimp plate was good but nothing extraordinary. The people were all very friendly and felt like they were all good friends.“
“Came here on our trip to NOLA and heard that we needed to go to AJ’s Jazzy Grill. The food was delicious and did not disappoint and I feel like we did not spend that much for how much we ordered. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“
“Everything was delicious, however every table was dirty. Burgers were as close to perfect as you could hope for. Fries were crisp and perfect. The milkshakes amazing thick and flavorful. Just a little sad, the tables, drink machines well the dining room was generally sticky and crumb covered.“
“Pretty dang good, the best hole in the wall you can find in New Orleans!!! I normally get the spicy chicken fillet and man, it blows my Tom and Jerry socks off of my feet. Gonna have to take my nieces and nephews here once they come and visit with me. So glad I came here, after I ate, I went home and did my Indian traditional dance because I was so happy!!!!! Make sure you guys come here, or else I will tell the Grinch to steal your next dinner.✅FIVE STARS!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?Wheelchair accessibility: They have a cool ramp for my disabled dog.“
“It's a small place but the sandwich I had was very good. It doesn't look like anything on the outside, but usually those type of places usually have great food. This one didn't disappoint. I had a fried shrimp sandwich. It was dressed as requested. Although I usually put ketchup on my seafood sandwiches, I ate this one without. If it tastes good without condiments then it rates excellent in my book. The lady that took my order was very nice. I will be going back to try other food on the menu.Excellent in my book.“
“Very respectful and helpful staff. Food is incredible and honestly a fair price for what things cost now. Obviously recommend the shakes and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My partner has the chicken bites which were also shockingly great. My roomate who struggles with restrictive eating easily found things on the menu that she could eat as well. If you have a neurodivergent child who is picky odds are they can get at least something off the menu, which can’t be said for everywhere. Will be back 10/10.“
“Char-House is a hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere of this hole-in-the-wall restaurant creates the perfect backdrop for their mouthwatering char-broiled burgers. Each bite is a burst of flavor, with the perfect blend of juiciness and smokiness. The friendly staff and unique charm make Char-House a must-visit for burger enthusiasts seeking a delightful dining experience.“
