This is the second time we have eaten here. The first time, during COVID, was a great experience. But let me earn you, Saturday is not the day to go there. No real social distancing, and I saw servers grabbing left over non used single serve condiments and give them to other tables. After a half hour wait, our food arrived. Wrong, the server blamed the cook. And left. We never received the rest of our meal, then when we finally flagged done our server, she told us Sundays are busier and that was it. Just avoid this place on Sundays, and the manager just grabbed my card and bill, I didn't say anything. Barked sign it and walked away. We still never received the rest of our food. read more

I recommend the onion rings!!! They are the best ever! We stop there every time we are in town just for the onion rings!!!!

Delicious great breakfast great service enjoy very much Across street from hospital very convenient clean very enjoyable experience

Very disappointed. I have eaten here regularly. Went in this morning for breakfast. Nothing fancy. I left after 30 minutes. No food. People around us Us been served that ordered after us. Including burgers! Their excuse, they have a cook that cooks hamburgers separate. read more

Wonderful experience that we had with Terri! She and her other con workers did so well when it came to team work and hospitality. Wonderful customer service and food! read more

I ordered the dice ham with scrambled egg. It was good! The workers are friendly. Pricing is fair. And they play oldies music, which is nice. read more

The big easy diner breakfast or cake and eggs is a must. The bacon burger is also fantastic!

Stopped by for breakfast, the food was plentiful and good. I didn't like the pork sausage links (they were brown and serve) switched to the sausage patty and they were fine. My daughter had steak and eggs, steak cooked well just needed a little seasoning. Other than that the food was good. read more

It took forever to get my food. Steak and eggs should not take 30min. Then once the waitress brought it out, the steak was over cooked. I sent it back and they brought me one cooked to my liking. The restrooms are dirty and need a though cleaning. I like trying local restaurants out when traveling instead of the large chains, but in this case stick with Cracker Barrel. read more

Not the cleanest place for sure. Bathrooms pretty nasty. Good many bar/drain flies. Most places in Louisiana that I visit seem to be the same, not very clean. Waitresses very kind. Service was a bit slow, but I'm a patient man. I had the hamburger steak w mashed potatoes. Food was pretty good. I'll stop back by if I'm ever in this part of town again. I was somewhere between 3 & 4 stars, so I gave um the benefit of doubt. $15 meal which seems a bit high to me. read more

Quick service, friendly, and not overpriced. Could use more parking spaces though. Not much more to say, Yelp states the review is not long enough, so here I type out some more, and more until it stops complaining the review is too short. read more

Great customer service the entry to this place is a bit confusing because it was a crowded Sunday afternoon. However, the food was delicious very fresh ingredients! read more

The diner is delightful in decor. There are a ton of vintage furnishings to take you back to a simpler time. However the food was not as impressive. My waffle tasted quite odd, rubbery and bland. Our waitress did not come back once to refill our drinks. Paying was a nightmare as she said the system was down and couldn't get our check for some time as another waitress was able to retrieve one for a separate table. read more

Awesome food. Even awesomer waiter. Food was fresh. It was hot and delicious. My two youngest children were able to eat for free. Which was a big plus. Will be going there again very soon. read more

Great little dinner in the traditional style. Huge menu selection, friendly staff. Clean. We both had breakfast for lunch, and enjoyed every bit. read more

Great cafe. Walked in mid-afternoon and promptly seated. Server had our drinks out to us quickly. Server came back and took our order within a few minutes. What I wanted wasn't listed as a plate on the menu, so our waitress created it. I had chicken fried steak with eggs, beacon and fried potatoes. It was exactly what I was wanting and the flavor was perfect. My wife had roast beef po-boy with french fried potatoes. Fantastic! We'll certainly go again. read more

Great place for breakfast and dinner. The house made onion rings are so good! Definitely recommend stopping by this place.

It's a diner. If you go in expecting anything else, you are going to be disappointed. If you want good diner food, you're in the right place. It had all of the appropriate diner kitch. Cute. The food was good. I don't usually order seafood at diners, but I figured we were in Louisiana, so I went for it. I had a shrimp po'boy. It was good. I enjoyed it. Boyfriend had a hamburger. He proclaimed it to be "good." He's so emotive. Outshining the food, which really was quite tasty, was the service. Our waitress was friendly and on top of everything. It was a good dinner at a good diner. read more

Good service, good sweet tea, food....ehhh. I ordered "country boy breakfast" supposed to be Salsberry steak two eggs biscuit hash brown or grits. I opted for the home fries at a three dollar up charge, not worth it in my opinion. Salsberry steak came out very dry, it was basically just a hamburger patty. My eggs were undercooked I ordered them over medium which is supposed to be no running white, the whites were nowhere near done. The home fries were OK basically just grilled potatoes with onions and peppers I don't understand how they justify charging three dollars for it. My girlfriend liked her French toast, she said she's had better but they were pretty good. Overall it was a decent experience I've been here before and it was pretty good just kind of disappointed with this trip. I will definitely try again. Service was good but apparently they don't know how to spell toilet (see picture lmao) read more

The wait staff are wonderful. I went this morning specifically asked for my smoked sausage to be freshly cooked. It was cold. They cook all breakfast meats ahead of time to save time they sit under a heating lamp. Just nasty. My normal place for breakfast cost $8.97 for same meal it cost $15 and change and sausage was cold. Don't Waste your time and money. read more

Very cute and cozy diner. Everything me and my family ate here was delicious. Prefer this over Waffle House any day!

Ordered food and then was brought my blt and told they were out of soup. My husband ordered catfish and shrimp. The fish and shrimp were supposed to be hand battered. The fish was clearly frozen tilapia and the shrimp was the smallest frozen popcorn size I've ever seen. A complete disappointment especially since the plate was 14.00. read more

What a great local diner! I've eaten here several times for breakfast and once for a cheeseburger! Everything was well-cooked and absolutely delicious! The service was also wonderful - very welcoming and friendly servers! I look forward to coming back! read more

My wife and I stopped by and ordered the catfish plate and a hamburger steak plate. The salad came out timely. We ate our salad and an hour later our food came. My hamburger steak was cold as was my wife's catfish. The only thing hot on the plate was the baked potato. Her onion rings were cold and stale. People came in after us ate and left before we even got our food. We saw a waitress drop a sugar container top on the floor and didn't even wipe it off before putting it back on. We definitely will not be back. read more

Perfect place for a patty melt after our swamp tour in Slidell. We appreciated that they were open on New Year's Day!

The special soup tonight was stuffed bell pepper soup, pretty decent! The waitress Amanda was charming, the restrooms are a little rough. The music should have been New Orleans style instead of 1950's generic diner. The deep fried food was decent, but the French bread was hard and thin. Iceberg lettuce is good on po-boys but it is boring on salads. The cheese on the baked potato wasn't melted. This is a really good idea, with just a few changes this chain could be a really good successful chain. read more

Big Easy Diner - Neon clad interior. - American Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

This is one of my family's favorite places to eat. The food comes out quickly, the prices are reasonable, and the waitstaff friendly and attentive. The only downside: on Ash Wednesday, they were out of shrimp, but loads of catfish (yuck). Oh well. read more

As always, great food with a good atmosphere and very attentive staff. Biscuits and gravy were on point, eggs, bacon, all good. New Orleans grilled chicken salad was fresh and shell it came in was delicious. Seemed they were a little short staffed in the kitchen because food took over 40 minutes to get to the table. Not mad - those things happen. Will definitely be back. read more

The waitress said they had the best burger in town, so I tried it, but honestly I would go to LA Pines or Times grill before I would go back here for a burger. The breakfast was a beter choice than the burger, but again I would choose LA Pine. Not bad, but also wouldn't recommend it. read more

I had high hopes for this place since I love diners. The food is not good, at all!! I would have much rather had Waffle House breakfast across the road. Waffles were cold, pancakes were cold and had a funny old grease taste to them. My husband said the patty melt had no taste to it and it was super greasy. Plus the prices are high for a diner. My daughter liked her poboy (even though the bread was so tough I could barely bite into it). Almost $7 for one waffle! 2 stars only because I've had worse. read more

The restaurant is pretty clean. The hostess and waitress are very friendly. It is a nod to the 50's and the prices will not kill the average traveler. If you do not want the cookie cutter food from chain stores, this is your place to go. Grits are good. A true hidden gem, locals hangout. It is not a triple D gem (Diners, Drive-in and Dives), but it is up there. Triple D normally have something food unique that normal chain stores does not have. I may be wrong, it may have something unique, but I did not quickly identify anything. Overall, outstanding place to eat. read more

I was traveling through Slidell to do a swamp tour and we stopped off for some generic diner food, which this place seems to offer. As a current northerner (Chicago) and former southerner (Alabama), I was pretty disappointed in the breakfast. The grits tasted like instant grits and the gravy on the biscuits tasted like it came from a powdered package (absolutely no sausage in it). The only positive was the pancakes (which the server recommended) and the service itself. However it was packed with locals who seemed to be ordering more sandwiches and burgers than breakfast items. My recommendation is to not eat here, but if you must, ask the server what's good and don't deviate. Or just get a club sandwich and fries--that looked good. read more

Stop at this diner for an early dinner. Kinda worried at first at there was only one car in the parking lot. Our waitress was very attentive & explained the menu very well. Our food was indeed delicious. It was good diner food. read more

I will start by saying the food was good. I ordered the "Cakes & Eggs." I wanted to make the eggs into a delicious omelet and was leery because it is $1.10 per added ingredient, that is wayyy too expensive. I can get a whole tomato for a $1.10. But any-who, first time here so I ordered it. The portion size for a $12.80 meal were kinda small. I want to repeat that the taste was good just too small of a portion for the price. Service was average, but I might go back.... read more

Excellent food had the shrimpDinner it was awesome. My waitress Michele is the Best will be back soon

The food was pretty decent. They give you a pretty good amount of food. I did not get to browse the entire menu due to being in a rush to get to work. However, the platter I had was good and the toast and may eggs were made perfect. The workers were smiling and pleasant. read more

Big easy diner -gets three stars why you ask well being a first timer in the city I stopped to eat at a mom-and-pop breakfast place as a morning tradition of Mine when traveling. The reason why they even get the three stars is because the best part of being in the diner was the actual waitress she was super nice and attentive her name is Robin. We ordered our food and she quickly attended us and our food came however I asked for boiled eggs and I got cold eggs she hurried up and ask the chef To re-cook them but what he did was heat them up and return them back to her. However she did not except it and asked them to fully cook the egg as I had requested - we had to wait for it again for a while to the point I took it with me. The service with her was great -the food was OK not bad or great. What a huge disappointment . Sanitary: The bathroom is very very dirty looks like hasnt been cleaned in weeks! Yuck I would only recommend this place for a fast take out restaurant type ordeal. Personally would not come again. Just not feeling the fact that is not That hard to boil two eggs! read more

Not pleased with this place! Clean environment but food is just ok.... The staff are usually pretty nice. Our most recent encounter is the reason for 2 stars instead of 3. The young lady at the register was EXTREMELY rude. If you enjoy diner food give it a shot but my family will never return! read more
