The ladies who work here are EXTREMELY understaffed. There are two of them for a full bar and 10+ tables. Whatever they are getting paid it’s not enough. Shame on the owner/manager.

Don't understand the low reviews. Super quick food, great service, and the Shrimp POBoy was very good. I'd go back.

$24 after tax for a shrimp po boy in March 2024. Came with 9 small pieces of shrimp. Supremely not worth.

Ye Olde College Inn (aka Old College Inn) represents a great example of what makes New Orleans great over the decades - what the spirit of NOLA is really about - it is family owned and operated - it is a loving gathering place to share meals, a drink and friendship. For those of us lucky enough to live here in NOLA this one of our great places. For the food, personally I mostly get the grilled fresh fish with whatever are the in-season home/local vegetables. If & when my wife is not watching my waistline then I treat myself to the Onion Rings (apetitizer) followed by a delicious and hardy hamburger steak - or fully dressed po-boy. Many of we locals come on the early side directly after Saturday or Sunday afternoon mass at St. Rita's and we beat the 6:30-8:30 full house. If you are looking for a current trendy restaurant you might just want to stop in for a drink, shake hands with the 15-20 locals at around the bar and then head to the current moment fusion-of-choice. Only 35 years in New Orleans, I remain.

Odd expierence. We sat at the bar, and there were 3 other people at the bar. We put our bag on the chair next to us, but for some reason, the bartender needed us to move our but not the 3 guys that had their bag next to them. They weren't busy and didn't get busy in the 20 minutes we were there. The server that stepped in for the bartender that disappeared was very nice and checked on us a couple of times.

Jimmy our server set the tone with his passion and knowledge for the food and the menu. Everything was divine. We've eaten at all the top rated New Orleans restaurants and repeat few. This one will be a repeat restaurant. Leave room for dessert and order the fried bread pudding. Must have the fried green tomatoes and crawfish Mac & cheese and get the taco trio if it's taco Tuesday.
Greater by hostess in friendly welcoming manner, waitress approached and gave great service! Meal was delicious as well! From one end of the menu to the other, it is great! I really appreciate the eat fit additions to the menu!!! Great ambiance in the restaurant!

We waited an hour for our food, and I watched several people served their order. The crawfish mac and cheese was frozen, and why we were intially told 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the poor waitress was running around solo, and could not provide an update. In the end, I canceled our order with pure disappointment and frustration. At that time, we had 20 minutes to eat, maybe enjoy our food, and make our flight. Terrible way to wrap up an otherwise great trip.

Great service and staff. Food and beverages were delicious. Fun and energetic ambience. Another plus is that parking was so easy compared to the huge hassle and cost of parking in the FQ or CBD. Highly recommended.

The restaurant was not very crowded. Surprising that the service wasn't better. The food took a very long time. Fun sitting at the bar. Hostess wasn't especially friendly.

I liked the food, the waitress was very helpful and fast and I didn't give it 5 stars because it doesn't have much variety ? I ate the Po'Boys and it was good
