    Fried combo with upgrade side of Mac and Cheese. Him
    Teoy T.

    Looking for some connection to my family roots. I went to Yelp for nearest Creole restaurants with top reviews. J. Looney's came up. I was greeted with a smile by Mr Gil. The inside was cool and beautiful images of key celebrities and a hint of NOLA was nice. The prices were great with portion just enough. I ordered the fried combo with an upgrade of mac and cheese with an added side of yams. The catfish and shrimp was seasoned well and just enough to leave room for peach cobbler. I decided to get gumbo to go. I will definitely return

    I was disappointed Mac N Cheese had no flavor & this is all I got. My family & I will not be returning to this restaurant.

    We was very disappointed that this is what our plate look like & it was not good at all. Mac N Cheese was dry with no fkavor. And non of us got our corn bread. My family & I will not be returning!

    These mutha*****az really put this sh*t on my delivery.  ................

    These mutha****** really put this sh*t on my delivery. SMMFH A Post it of them shortening me with arrogance. ............... Update Should have got the Fries cuz they probably would of had more Cheese then the Mac and Cheese.....IDKWTFTSW!!!!! Food - taste like the average to nasty church food. My fault for being lazy. Every Review more than 2 stars is fake or from people who can't cook or have no taste buds.

    Fried fish combo (fried red snapper w/ mac n' cheese and potato salad).

    Oh my gosh! The gentleman who was in charge of my order was so adorable. His son, who is usually the one who collects all the GrubHub orders using the app, was gone for the day and the gentleman was so adorable trying to figure it out and finally asked me to help. He reminded me of my own dad and software apps. Anyways, onto the food! I ordered a FRIED FISH COMBO (Fried red snapper with two sides -- MAC N' CHEESE and POTATO SALAD -- and CORNBREAD). It also comes with a bag of different condiments and utensils. You can tell how long they have had this business because he even told me how long it takes for the FRIED RED SNAPPER to be ready. And when it came out, it was fried perfectly. I got out my tartar sauce and started digging in and ended up finishing all five pieces of it. The sides were also amazing. MAC N' CHEESE was well balanced with texture and cheese. The POTATO SALAD was also a perfect blend of mayonnaise, eggs, potatoes, and whatever else it takes to make it (I don't know because I don't cook). I loved the tanginess. The CORNBREAD was also great. It wasn't stale and tasted like how it should... like cornbread. I would definitely come back to support!

    Gumbo tastes like somebody's grandma made it

    Delicious spot. We walked in and it was super mellow... i presume the owner greeted us, very cool older man, took our order we got the tips, gumbo Mac n cheese n greens. Also some peach cobbler everything was fresh and tasty. This spot is a gem.

    Pork Chop Dinner - Missing 1 pork chop
    Mark S.

    Initially, I was really excited about this new restaurant as I grew up in the South and have strong New Orleans roots. I ordered the smothered pork chop dinner which comes with 2 pork chops, rice & gravy, and 2 sides. First of all, I only had 1 pork chop. I didn't realize I was shorted until I got home and looked at the menu again. The pork chop was tender and had good flavor. The collard greens were tasty, but my second side consisting of macaroni and cheese was fair. It was very dry. The cornbread muffins were very good, yet cold. The Cajun fries were less than desirable. They were frozen crinkle fries with seasoning salt. There was nothing Cajun about them and the portion was small. Customer service was ok. We had to wait for a while and there was only 1 other party in the restaurant. The chef did apologize. It appears he was working the front end of the restaurant and the kitchen. Overall, I didn't find this restaurant worthy to represent "New Orleans Culture Food".

    Pork Chop Plate (Yea My 5y/o) Finished The Plate Lol

    We've Ordered Here Before And The Food Was Amazing!!! We Ordered Again (Rib-Tip Plate/Pork Chop Plate/Fried Combo With Catfish) and man we are NOT disappointed. This food is AMAZING!!!!! And for the first time my son ordered a pork chop dinner and soon as he opened his plate he dug in!!!! If you haven't tried J Looney's Then Your Missing Out On A Great Spot!!!!

    Brisket, mac & cheese, potato salad & corn bread.
    Greg P.

    The food was amazing! I wish I would have thought to have taken a picture. I had the beef ribs, mac & cheese, potato salad, watermelon, lemon cake and 2 cokes. This place is brand new and I am for sure coming back. The ribs had plenty of sauce and just fell of the bone. The sauce was a bit spicy but had great flavor. The mac & cheese was creamy and had just the right amount of cheese plus the noodles were cooked just right and were soft. The potato salad was light and had just the right amount of mayo and egg. The watermelon was sweet and added a nice relief to the spicy of the ribs. The lemon cake was awesome. It had the right amount of lemon flavor. Coke is coke. The staff is very nice and provided some great conversation for while you are waiting for your food. The place is clean and they keep up a very professional atmosphere. I can't wait to come back!

    Pretty good barbecue!…read more We ordered several combo platters, sampling through a variety of meats. The Spareribs and Brisket were very flavorful and satisfying - but if I had to nitpick, the 'cue could've been just a bit more tender - the texture was just a shade off of the true "gold standard" sort of barbecue that I've had in the past. Nevertheless - the bold, smoky flavors hit the spot - impressive stuff overall! Would recommend. PS - The beer selection here ain't too shabby, either!

    I HOPE CORPORATE GETS WIND OF THIS REVIEW!!! This is the Long Beach on Pine establishment to be…read moreclear. I would like to give this place a negative starts. To say service is very poor would be understatement. Arrived on Saturday and sat at open seating in the bar area at a table. After waiting over 30 minutes (and just observing the lady that was working the section socializing with guest like she could care less about helping take my order). So after waiting and watching the two lady bar servers continue to have extended conversations and pretty much ignoring myself and my guest...I walked to the bar and asked the bartender if anyone was taking orders in the open seating indoor area that we were sitting at. The bartender told me that the ladies working the section had to help wash dishes and basically unable to take myself and my guest orders. We ended up walking out and went to a neighboring restaurant along the waterfront strip. How hard would have it had been to take a couple of orders or at the very least say "Hello" or "Give us a minute we are a little busy". Don't keep talking to your favorite customers and continue to walk by myself and my guest without saying something. The whole vibe seemed like the moral at this establishment with this shift is very low. Teach your servers to engage with all guest instead of have social hour during their shift...at the bare minimum again, a simple "hello" or "I'll help you in a moment" This happened on Saturday 02/28/2026 from 4pm through 4:35 pm (if management wants to look at the cameras and see just how disengaged the staff was during this shift).

    DINNER FOR TWO SPECIAL…read more I don't know what's up with the mid reviews, this place is great for what it is!! Walking in is like being transported out of Long Beach and to the south.... Or a diner in big bear lake. It's charming. Anyways, I ordered the dinner for 2 for my mother and father. It came with a bit of bbq chicken, half rack of ribs, tri tip, catfish, cornbread, 2 sides, okra, sweet Potatoe fries and fried green tomatoes. I ordered myself a full rack baby back rib combo and it also came with two sides. French fries and mac. On top of that I ordered some hush puppies . I did not realize that I ordered that much food!!! It was sooo much. Cornbread - meh doesn't really have enough flavor but it's warm and you can add butter. The catfish- the breading was nice and crispy. French fries and mac and cheese- you can't ness that up. The tri tip- probably the best protein that we ate. Very soft. Ribs- needed more bbq sauce but you can order more. It was way better the next day when I heated them up. Chicken- I didn't eat it. My mom did. Hush puppies- fried cornbread. Not my thing. Sweet Potatoe fries- staple Fried green tomatoes- surprised me, that was actually good for literally a fried green tomato Okra- first bites, amazing, after a few it was too soggy for me. Just get the dinner for two. It's more than enough and you get to try a little bit of everything for 58 + dollars. Was it amazing? Not everything, but I appreciate the portion sizes and the variety.

    I was so excited to try this place after a former co-worker raved about the food. I was also…read moreexcited because it was located so close to my residence. I ordered delivery so expected the food to be more lukewarm than hot but was excited about the taste! It arrived and smelled wonderful and was surprisingly still steaming hot when I dig into the bag. Sadly, the flavor on the ribs was a fun and spicy as I prefer. But I was hopeful the strawberry lemonade would be a life changing as I was told. I grabbed a straw, punctured the cup, and took a big gulp waiting for the sugar high I was craving! Sadly, it too was less than I desired. Then the Mac and cheese wasn't as flavorful either. I began wondering what type of pallet my co-worker had? This is BBQ for babies. I did finish the food but definitely had to do some "doctoring up" of my own. C'mon Johnny, reach for the stars! Kick up the flavor and add more suga' to that lemonade! Every time I see you when I drive by, I wanna get excited but it just isn't happening...yet. I'll give it another try someday.
