    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!

    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

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

    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!

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.

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.
