    Chocolate cream pie and coffee
    Christopher C.

    My experiences here have been hit or miss. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but in general I enjoy it so I keep going back. One thing going for them is they are open 24 hours so if you want to eat super late (or super early) they are the only place open besides Waffle House. One of our favorite things to do is to go here for late-night pie. Yes, pie. They have real pies on the menu in a number of flavors. Tons of fun. The menu is large and should have something to satisfy anybody. They have a nice variety of daily blue-plate specials that are usually pretty good. It gets crowded on weekend mornings when everybody seems to be out for breakfast, but at other times/days I have never had to wait for a table. The servers are always friendly. Not always perfect but they seem to be hustling and trying hard.

    Fun art...including Norman Rockwell and historic New Orleans.

    Loved this place! Enjoyed a deluxe crab cake breakfast served with eggs, grits, and pan bread (Texas toast made from sourdough bread.) Husband had thick, big waffles and bacon. The servers, Michelle and Teresa, were beautiful. Friendly women. Lots of atmosphere with tasteful , nostalgic Louisiana art. I'm sure they have a devoted following. And the crab cakes were superb!

    staff was so sweet and food tasted so good!!! the dinner atmosphere was also very classic and enjoyable to be in :)

    This is a cool diner with an old school vibe and it also is a fantastic option for as they also stay open late. I sampled their cheeseburger and really enjoyed that experience here. They have lots of neon lights that really help give this spot a great ambiance along with offering a good variety of daily specials to keep things interesting. Overall this is an all around good spot to grab some classic American food along with a few local Louisiana options. My video review of Big Easy Diner is here: https://youtu.be/dbCWFZuaQO4

    I am normally big on diner food so I was excited to stop in and try Big Easy after being told it was quite good. I will preface it by saying they were very busy when we came, but we spent forever waiting to get seated and even longer to get service once we were. Seemed like as we got seated was when the staff got a break from being busy so we were an after thought. The food was good, or this rating would be lower. Will go back sometime and hope to get a day with less business.

    Our group "Happy Hearts" went dancing at nursing home then to eat at Big Easy Diner - there was 11 of us. The meal was delicious - the gentleman that waited on us, I believe Matt, was absolutely amazing and on point with everything for our order . Highly recommend this place for any yummy food you may want. Some had breakfast and some lunch - bottom line - delicious!! Kathy

    Been in Slidell a couple of days now, went to Big Easy on a local recommendation and now I've been twice. This place is great!! Day one to day two different meats same great taste and service!! If you leave hungry, that's on you! My only dislike is the griddled toast, I prefer it in a toaster. I'll see them tomorrow for breakfast as well!

    Stopped in here as a meeting point with friends before heading back to Nashville. The service was fast and friendly and the food wasn't bad either. It's got the old diner feel inside and full of smiles. Worth the stop for breakfast!!!

    Steak and eggs!!!

    Ordered chicken and waffles breakfast-it was horrible. Waffles were not cooked through and chicken batter fell off. Then ordered steak and egg with hash browns. Ordered medium rare and got well done. Like shoe leather. What ever happened to their cook!! Food was tasteless.

Working with Cate was an absolute highlight of the planning process. Her communication was exceptional throughout, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was thoughtfully handled. We met multiple times, and at each meeting she took the time to understand our vision, address any concerns, and adapt plans accordingly. She was incredibly flexible, creating and adjusting different layout options depending on weather scenarios, and always made us feel confident that everything would come together seamlessly no matter the circumstances. One of the most memorable parts of the planning process was the tasting Cate arranged for us--it was beautifully done and helped us feel completely confident in our menu selections. Her attention to detail and commitment to creating a personalized experience truly stood out. On the day of the event, everything was flawless. The space was transformed beautifully, the food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and the service was impeccable. Every element came together perfectly, and it was clear how much care and effort went into making our day special. Overall, our experience was nothing short of incredible. I highly recommend Meribo to anyone planning an event, you will be in the best hands!

Ashleigh not only had the low down on the best foods to order, but she kept up with our table of 5 like we were beloved family. Everything was sooooo good tonight. From the delicious appetizers, to the incredible salad (seriously, you have got to try this Creamy Italian), all the way to this badass softshell crab dish and the most chocolatey-chocolate cake I've had in recent memory. I lost most of notes for this meal, sadly, because it was super delicious and perfect. We did the 5 course meal menu item and I cannot wait to go back and do it again. Highly recommend an evening at Impastato's. And hey, ask for Ashleigh, get her opinions and smiles, and bask in the warmth of how well she'll care for you and your peeps.

Our waitress was friendly, but the service felt a little awkward at times. As for the food, what we ordered didn't really stand out. My husband had the chicken parmesan and I ordered the veal topped with seafood. Both dishes were pretty greasy and just not something we would come back for. The best thing we tried was actually the calamari it was tasty and definitely the highlight of our meal. Not a terrible experience, just not great. For the price and the options in the area, we'd probably choose somewhere else next time.

The main dining room is inviting and stylish in an understated way. Our server was super friendly and the food was excellent. We had an appetizer sampler to start - hubs wasn't fond of the thick batter on the calamari but also noted it was tender and tasty. My family is Italian and had Italian friends who owned a shop and made their own homemade Italian sausage... I'm not saying Mandina's makes their own but one bite took me back. I think the texture would have been better served in grilled chunks rather than the slices that tasted fried; the crispy surface area of the cut exposed interior wasn't bad but not my preference. Also included was fried stick of eggplant which was some of the best I've had. I ordered the veal parm for my entrée that was cooked perfectly, the marinara was exquisite and the perfect ratio to the veal and the pasta. Another entrée ordered was the shrimp bordelaise but switch the shrimp out for a veal cutlet which they were happy to do as my daughter doesn't eat tomato sauce but was eager to try the veal. The down side was that their bordelaise wasn't traditional bordelaise of the red wine sauce variety; the dish turned out to be like pasta tossed with garlic and butter and we wish we had known. When I asked the waitress if it would be traditional bordelaise she confirmed that it was, which was why we ordered it. That it turned out not to be was a let down. But all-in-all this was a great dining experience for all the right reasons. If you're like me and hate being stuck in touristy eateries, hop the street car down Canal and tell the conductor to let you off at Mandina's and thank me later.
