Still the wonderful restaurant I enjoyed back in the 70’s. So nice that they restored it after Katrina. Same great menu with eggs, fluffy omelettes, pancakes, waffles, burgers, freezes and desserts. You sit at the counter and watch them cook. Not handicap accessible. There are tables outside so you can order inside and take it out. Parking is pay parking on street nearby. You could take the trolley for St. Charles Ave.

I had a bad experience with the waiter . I will not put his name Frank. But I was so embarrassed that I wanted to leave but I was there with a friend. When I am back in the city I will not be revisiting this establishment.

This is a really late review. But my photo gallery showed memories from a year ago. I let ot continue to 7 years ago! That's when my wife and I ate here for lunch. We were visiting New Orleans for our wedding anniversary, and I randomly chose this place. The food was fantastic! The atmosphere was one where locals and tourists lined up to get inside. From suites to regular clothes. I couldn't remember the name. But I finally found you again! We'll be back!

A wonderful single counter old school dinner located in southern Grecian revival style mansion.The milk shake "freezes" compliment the greasy american dinner food perfectly. The hashbrowns alone are worth crossing the river for. Last but not least, the BLT was an absolute religious experience.I highly recommend getting there early as it is common to see a line out the door.

Totally old style eat-at-the-counter kinda place. My local friend wanted to meet there and I'm so glad we did. We all had omelets, and the pecan waffle was amazing, too. One of us also got a cup of gumbo and she said it was on point! Frankie and Vincent were taking excellent care of us.

Smaller place than I expected. The queue outside was relatively small, so we were seated fairly quickly. It's all seating at the counter in a strange wavy arrangement. The food was good diner fayre.

You won't be disappointed, this place is a Land Mark. The staff is beyond amazing, greeting you with warmth and bidding you farewell with a smile. The food is absolutely delicious and the shakes are just perfect. Trust me, you won't regret visiting this place.

This place is amazing, and the food is great. The milkshakes are perfect. If you like old school diners, this is the place to go. Big thanks to Frankie for super service.
