We got turtle soup and soup of the day. They were good, but not warm at all. I wish they would devein the shrimp on their po boys. That’s nasty stuff! A few months ago, l even asked the waitress if the shrimp were deveined. She said yes, they are. When l started to eat the po boy, none of the shrimp were deveined. I was disgusted. She should have been honest.

a lot of people had recommended this restaurant so we decided to check it out for lunch. Positives are the great service - we had great service but generally all around the service and attention to the older patrons was amazing.we started off with the onion rings which were decent. we then got the small house, trout almandine, and the eggplant parmesan. the house salad was decent, the accompanying dressing was really good; the trout was big in size and had a good crust but the fish and flavor were bland, and accompanying were green beans and potatoes which tasted like breakfast potatoes; good portion size but a bit bland. the eggplant parm was decent but the flavoring was bland and the eggplants were smaller (there are other places who make the sauce better and bigger eggplants)overall, great service with decent portion food but bland

Food is always cooked perfectly . It was lunch so we all got salads . They were large and very well put together. I had the chicken Caesar, wife had the wedge trio. My granddaughter got the kids chicken meal which was huge . And my niece got the kids spaghetti and meatball. Service is always good and friendly .

We had a little wait because they were so busy, but were served immediately by the maître D herself. The blue crab dip to start was incredible! I had the ribeye with asparagus and potatoes, and my husband had the seafood platter. A buttery Chardonnay and chocolate cake for dessert. We left OVER full. The owner even came over to apologize for the wait and an invitation to come back! ?????
We made a reservation here for Valentine's Day. We wanted to try something new over our regular place. I'll make it short, the service was ok, aside from our waitress who was particularly rude, and seemed to be more catering to the older couples than us. We had only seen her twice within our entire meal. The food was good, the salmon was very small, and my fries were cold. Noise level is very high, and the seating is just down right horrible. We were sat in a booth / table that has occupants on both sides of you. I do not blame anyone for this, as it was the only table available but it's very confined it's definitely not a great place for a romantic dinner for 2 in my opinion. Aside from the seating and service the food was actually enjoyable, we just took ours to go not long after getting it though.

I had the wedge salad, the redfish on the half shell and the red velvet cake. My husband had the crab appetizer and the redfish & the cake. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend Porter & Luke's.
It was busy for Valentine's Day. The appetizers took a long time to arrive. 1 arrived after the entrees. But they didn't charge us for it, which was nice. I would rather pay and have it delivered first though. Not a deal breaker. Love the food. Chad was a great server. Look like more personnel are needed on Valentine's Day. We will definitely go back.

Wonderful Galentine lunch! I enjoyed a Wedge salad with crispy fried oysters added. The Creole salad & Eggplant pasta dishes looked delicious as well. Perfect spot for good food & easy dining.

Dining room was very crowded and noisy so we opted for bar seating which was much better. The barman/server, Danny, was terrific. Food was delicious - some of the best onion rings ever, lovely salad with my added fried oysters - delicious.

Hadn't been to P & L since the renovation. What used to be an really nice ambiance now resembles a BBQ joint. Butcher and paper napkins instead of tablecloths and linens. Noise level is way too high due to no carpeting and wall additions. Tables crammed together - I was jostled not once but 3 times by 1) the manager 2) server 3) busboy. Only the busboy stopped to apologize. Food is OK but it's not the relaxed, nice dining experience it used to be. I won't be back. Too many other nice places in Metairie.
