Killer poboys area
Brenda C.

Unreal poboys! They are amazing! A fresh new take on poboys!!!! We tried two of the poboys, shrimp and pork, oh my! We will be back!

Glazed Pork Belly, Smothered Greens
Catherine M.

Shared the pork belly po boy and collard greens with a friend. One of the best things I've put in my mouth. Would def come back and try others.

Pecan Butter & Jelly, Seared Gulf Shrimp, Glazed Pork Belly
Suelynn N.

We ordered three items. Pecan butter and jelly, shirmp po boy, and pork po boy. Overall, they were mediocre . The vegetables for the shrimp bo boy were unimpressive. The pork Po boy were soggy. The pecan butter and jelly was not bad. Service was quick. Condiment and napkins were self serve. We actually walked here from our hotel that's close to the sports stadium. This place is pretty close to the main touristy area of Nola.

We tried the grilled shrimp and while the sandwich was good, it wasn't something I would say wow and that I want to go back to. I did eat these sober so that could be why. I do appreciate the Asian/Vietnamese twist with the pickled carrots/veggies. They packed the sandwich quite well for to-go orders!

Black Beer Beef Debris Glazed Pork Belly
Allie H.

Def one of my fave things I've eaten in New Orleans so far. Had the pork belly and beef debris. Both were super juicy and flavorful. My preference has to be the beef debris for sure- we may go back again because it was so good. Def a quick and easy lunch that isn't crazy expensive and is delish.

Seared Shrimp poboy (banh mi style)
Rifkah S.

Grabbed a poboy to go at this no frills sandwich shop on Dauphine Street in the French Quarter. Service was quick and poboy was good portion size. There were 4-5 tables if you want to eat it there.

So glad to find vegetarian/vegan poboys options here! We went with Thai BBQ Tofu and Cauliflower poboy. Both were fresh, great and tasteful. I am not a fan of BBQ flavor in general but I liked it here as it was not overpowering. The tofu was soft inside but yet nicely grilled. The Cauliflower poboy didn't look appetizing but the filling is very nicely flavored. I could even taste smokiness in the cauliflower filling. And the baguette is soft inside amazing here - soft, fresh and the best I have ever had! Service was super quick. Additional star for a clean bathroom.

This place gets very busy around lunchtime, so time your visit to avoid the peak hours. We got the seared shrimp and it was simply amazing! For someone who isn't usually a big fan of shrimps, the flavor was spot on. We then processed to order the beef debris, but it felt more like a Philly cheesesteak; as a wet sandwich, the juice soaked through the bread. It wasn't our favorite but it is an option for someone that enjoys a wet sandwich. After trying another PoBoy elsewhere, the seared shrimp is the one I would come back to!

Beef debris, shrimp poboys, collards, slaw and local brews
Dan G.

The beef debris with those pickled beans is one of the best poboys I've had and I looked forward to crushing it again. It was better than I remembered. My wife loved her shrimp bahn mi type poboy. We rounded out an excellent lunch with collards, slaw and local brews. Staff was on it taking care of us too.

Black Beer Beef Debris
Kim B.

I thought the sandwiches here were pretty tasty. All had tons of flavor and very delicious! Initially, I thought there was a fried shrimp po boy, but it was grilled. My favorite was the grilled shrimp with pickled carrots and daikons. It reminded me of a Vietnamese banh mi. The beef with green beans sounded interesting, but it wasn't too bad. The service was quick. You order at the counter and once your food is ready, they'll bring it to you. I thoroughly enjoyed my quick meal here.

Roasted Sweet Potato Po Boy
Martina C.

I took an Uber to get my dinner here after arriving in NOLA. I couldn't WAIT to eat and man did this hit the spot!! I had Killer Po Boys my first time in NOLA and it was my top pick for a meal when I arrived!! I ate, I showered, I napped and this made me feel SO much better because man was it delicious!!! There's not much Ambiance, it's a small sandwich shop but there is flavor. And that's what you need!!! They have BOTH Vegan and regular Po' Boys so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. The staff is always really friendly too!! YUM.

Jenn C.

Food Loved that there were three vegan options to choose from, we got the tofu and the cauliflower. The tofu was good and we liked how flavorful the Thai bbq sauce was and the bread was nice and warm. The cauliflower was perfectly matched, only wish it had more romesco sauce on it and that the cauliflower was a tad bit warmer. The hot sauce on the table was a nice touch. Service Order at the counter and they would bring your food out to you. There are napkins and utensils against the wall for you to grab so it is largely self-service and no frills. Ambiance: Order at the counter and grab a table. Nothing too crazy and no line at all in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. I could see this place being busy, but it was not bad at all.

Black beer braised beef debris poboy!  Delicious.
Steve H.

Needed a quick bite. Quick it was. Cozy, no frills place. I like that. Small menu. I also like that. Ordered. Paid. Grabbed my Coke. Sat down. About a minute later my poboy was on my table. I got the black beer braised beef debris. Great flavor! Add some hot sauce and I was happy. Easy. No frills. Friendly people. Great sandwich.

We had an absolutely exceptional dinner at Café Amélie tonight! With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

We ordered the creole oysters and seafood penne pasta, and both were solid choices. The oysters came topped with a flavorful creole sauce, while the seafood penne pasta was a hearty and filling portion. Both dishes also came with bread on the side. Service was friendly throughout our meal. There is plenty of seating inside, though the restaurant was pretty packed when we visited! Overall, a great spot if you are craving seafood.

Luke is a French-German brasserie with a Louisiana Creole twist and its not a typical restaurant!!!…read moreBeautiful architecture and European inspired cuisine in Saint Charles Ave. the interior is gorgeous, dark wood, a grand bar, antique style details and one of the most interesting features: an old fationed belt driven ceiling fan system!!! It almost feels like stepping back in history to an elegant European restaurant from another country. One thing viable at first was the collection of historical military portraits and photographs displayed on the wall! Their add such an interesting character! One of those restaurant that offers more than food. Now let's talk about FOOD!!! Luke offers a lovely combination of French, German, and Louisiana Creole cuisine. The menu includes everything from traditional shrimp and grits and Gulf seafood to European classics like crispy pork schnitzel with spaetzle. If you're a seafood lover, the raw bar is another highlight, especially the fresh Gulf oysters!!! We ordered Shrimp cocktail? the Pork schnitzel and shrimp and grits. Another great reason to visit is their daily happy hour, traditionally offered from 3 PM to 6 PM, with oyster specials and discounted drinks. Definitely worth checking the current promotions before visiting!!! New Orleans has a fascinating French and German cultural heritage, and Luke brings those influences together beautifully through its brasserie concept. The hostess was lovely, and our server was very welcoming and friendly!!! However, one thing that I found a little strange was the seating situation...Apparently, reservations are highly recommended, even though there were plenty of unoccupied tables when we arrived!!! We were told those tables were reserved, so we ended up sitting at the bar instead...And let me tell you, those backless bar stools are NOT comfortable at all!!! Haha!!! No back support means hello, back pain!!! Especially if you're planning to sit there for a while and enjoy your meal!!! I personally would have preferred a regular table with comfortable chairs.BUT I have to admit, the ambiance was pretty cool!!! So my suggestion? Make a reservation in advance and request a regular table unless you don't mind sacrificing a little back comfort for the bar experience!!! Voilà!!! No valet but you can use hotel's valet and there is paid public parking...

Stopped by here because I'd heard this was a classic New Orleans spot that's worth checking out…read more Fun fact: it's actually attached to the Hilton, which I didn't realize before visiting! Overall, the food was tasty, especially the seafood dishes. The green peppers were definitely spicier than I expected, so I ended up picking most of them out, but everything else was really flavorful. The portions are on the smaller side considering the price, so I'd keep that in mind when ordering. That said, the crispy Brussels sprouts absolutely live up to the reputation -- definitely one of the highlights! Service was another strong point. Everyone was attentive and friendly, and they checked in periodically without being overbearing. Everything felt pretty well managed throughout the meal The ambiance is more of a classic, casual diner-style setup, with dim lighting and paper-covered tables. Seating was comfortable overall, although the space felt a little tight in some areas Overall, if you don't mind paying a bit more for smaller portions, I'd still say this is a spot worth checking out while you're in New Orleans. The location is also super convenient if you're exploring around Bourbon Street, so it's an easy stop while checking out the area!
