We had lunch at Welty's twice during our time in New Orleans and had a great experience both times!…read moreEverything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. The husband and wife who own Welty's are always there and couldn't be friendlier, and the same goes for their family and the rest of the staff. You can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. If you're visiting New Orleans or work in the area and are looking for a great, fresh sandwich and a friendly local spot for lunch, I highly recommend Welty's. We'll definitely be back on our next trip!

I came across Welty's in an interesting way. I asked ChatGPT to recommend local spots for a…read more50-person volunteer box lunch order at work, and it flagged Welty's as a strong contender based on Google reviews. So I figured I'd do a trial run first. Food (7/10) They wouldn't let me order a single box lunch, so I pieced together a comparable meal: a ham and cheese sandwich with chips, plus a cookie purchased separately. A few things stood out. First, there were no condiments included, so the sandwich was noticeably dry by the time I got back to the office -- something worth flagging for anyone ordering for an event. That said, the meat portion was generous, which I appreciated. It came with Miss Vickie's Sea Salt chips; I'm not sure if other flavors were available, but none were offered. The cookies came three to a container, roughly 3-inch chocolate chip, and were ok. The total with tax came to $21 for the sandwich, chips, and cookies. This doesn't seem like a good value, since I can get a combo meal from Espresso Express in the Entergy building for $12.50, and it comes with a sandwich, chips, cookie and drink--canned, bottled water or iced tea. I also wasn't able to try the fruit cocktail, so that remains an unknown. The meal came in a standard clear plastic container. While functional, it wasn't remarkable. For a catered event where appearance matters, it doesn't quite measure up to what competitors like Jason's Deli or The Honey Baked Ham offer in terms of packaging and visual appeal. Service (6/10) One person greeted me warmly when I walked in by describing their sweet treats. Everything else, unfortunately, fell flat. The cashier didn't acknowledge me and was noticeably unfriendly, and this was only about 20 minutes after opening, with no one else in line. A man came out from the back and just stared at me. The overall energy was one of visible surprise at my presence. I'll leave it at that, because I can't read minds. What I can say is that I've encountered this particular brand of unwelcome before, in situations where I didn't fit the profile of the customer they seemed to expect. Make of that what you will. Ambiance (8/10) It's clean and tidy. It's a food court. Bottom line: The food shows promise, but the service experience gave me pause, both in terms of hospitality basics and something that felt more personal. Worth trying for yourself and drawing your own conclusions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There's so much random, interesting stuff everywhere you look that you could probably eat your entire meal just staring at the walls and still not see everything. I came for brunch.

I originally came looking for another restaurant, but after the waitress explained it had been sold and hadn't yet been rebranded, I decided to stay since I was already seated. It turned out to be a happy surprise. The mushroom, cheese, and sausage omelet with a side of cheesy grits immediately caught my eye, and I'm always up for a good bowl of cheesy grits. The breakfast was delicious, hearty, and full of flavor. Menas Palace is a casual, Greek-owned diner right in the heart of the French Quarter. While the dining room isn't huge, it's spacious enough to comfortably navigate in my wheelchair, with plenty of turning room between tables. I had no trouble entering or being seated immediately. The waitress handled everything naturally and confidently, making it clear serving wheelchair users wasn't new to her, which always makes for a more relaxed experience. It may not have been the breakfast I originally set out to find, but it ended up being a tasty and accessible alternative that's worth keeping on the list. #MenasPalace #TysAdventures26 #NOLA #FrenchQuarter

Found a great seat that allowed me to view the kitchen while I waited for my food. This was a bustling Saturday with many to go orders as well as a steady stream of diners. The Hibiscus tea has to be the best I've ever tasted, perfectly sweetened. I was in heaven. Yep, I ate the cookie while I was waiting. Soft with a slight hint of peanut butter (the hostess did mention it in case there was any concern about peanuts) and sweetened with coconut sugar was no different than any other cookie, but made with the best ingredients. My wrap arrived steaming hot and when I tell you it was delicious, it was DELiCIOUS. If people ever think that vegetarian eating is not satisfying, I challenge you to dine here! The wrap and hand cut real french fries were the perfect combo. Located on the corner of St. Claude and St. Roch, parking can be tough.

Nothing too tragic other than neither of us care for the others bread. So we both ate the insides and left the bread because it took a long time to get them as it was. Second meal was a burger and fries last Sunday night at the bar. The lady working the bar was great. Super friendly. The fries tasted like fish so I'm guessing they were fried in the same oil that they fry their fish in. The burger was not good at all. I ate about half of it because I was staving at it was our last night in town, but just couldn't finish it. I wish I had stopped at the first bite. About an hour later I was nauseated and had diarrhea for the next 4 days. Not a fun thing when you have a 10 hour drive home from NOLA. I would say this place would be a hard pass if I ever go back to NOLA.
