    South of the border hamburger steak and chili

    I'd give em a 4.5, all in all a great experience and I don't usually write reviews at all unless I'm very impressed and it's hard to impress me. I got the south of the border and fries, way way too much food but I'm not mad about it, I'll have the rest later! The fries were perfect and I knew they'd been fried in tallow, which I later confirmed with the waitress

    Stellar onion rings

    We were in Slidell for a week and we ended up skipping our continental breakfast at our hotel to eat breakfast here. And a few dinners, everything we've gotten was awesome, breakfast, especially the fluffy pancakes that tastes like they were made with cream. The prices are very reasonable. We got the shrimp on a bun and the shrimp were amazing- it was 6.00. The senior menu was awesome! Highly recommend for good pleasant service and great American food, with cute 50s diner decor!

    Just dropped in here and had an excellent country diner breakfast experience. Love this place. We were seated and were able to place our order quickly. It was nice to enjoy a simple and well prepared breakfast with sunny side up eggs, corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy. Totally recommend if you are on a road trip and need a quick but proper breakfast to recharge.

    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!

    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.

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

    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

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.

We saw on the menu that checks could not be split, which was fine even though split would be preferable to us. So, when our server told us the check can't be split but she can "take multiple cards" I was a bit confused and asked if she could explain more since that's what we might do, since she said it was possible. Already there she gave attitude and said I don't know how else to explain it to you in a rude tone. After we finished our food, we asked her to take multiple cards for the check and she told us to write on the back what to charge each card. I apologize that I did misunderstand what she meant, and put the items rather than the exact amount to charge each card. She came back and said, "you did exactly what I said not to do." So I said sorry and was in the midst of redoing it by calculating when she just snatched it from me and said she'll just do it. I had no problem doing it nor did we complain even once. After a while, understandably, she came back and basically scolded us, saying what if she was busy she wouldn't have been able to do this....but she said she could do it in the first place! We understood from the get go no split checks but then she gave the option of multiple cards so obviously we took it. The food was good and the ambience was nice. I enjoyed the open kitchen concept and seeing the pizza oven. But the service ruined it for me. I work the food industry and would have never acted this way. Nevertheless, I would come again but would not want that server.

This is a busy neighborhood spot with a lively bar, plenty of TVs, and a comfortable local atmosphere. We started with a cup of seafood gumbo ($6.95), and it was an absolute hit -- 9/10! Rich, flavorful, and easily the star of the meal. For entrées, we had the Chicken Piccata ($21.95), which was very good and came with a generous serving of chicken. We also tried the Spaghetti & Meatballs ($20.95). It was good, although the meatballs had quite a bit of onion, and I'm personally not a fan of onions. That said, the portion was huge -- easily enough for two people to share, which makes the price much more understandable. I also had a Michelob Ultra draft ($4.00). Our food and drink subtotal came to $53.85, with a $59.10 cash total or $60.72 credit-card total after taxes and the non-cash adjustment. Overall, a very good first visit. Generous portions, a lively neighborhood atmosphere, and solid food across the board. But the star of the show was definitely that seafood gumbo! I'd come back for that alone.
