I've been seeing this Resturant advertised on social media for some time now. So I've stopped in for brunch twice so far. I Was real excited because the menu looked real nice. The service was nice the first time but the second time we really didn't have a good one. We had a guy that was really nonchalant and didn't pay us any mind. I could go into more detail but no need to bash anyone. But when someone acts like that it makes the food mediocre. But the food was decent my favorite thing I ate was the French Toast it was sweet and moist easily a get it again. The Crab Rangoon dip was elite as well so creamy and full of flavor. The Harrison BLT was a big let down just felt they didn't put any effort into it was kind of just there. A BLT is a very simple dish but has to be made with love and care. The Winser Scramble had a lot of potential but it only had 3 shrimp in there it's hard to forgive that when that's the only protein it has in there. The hangover bowl was pretty nice, literally any dish makes you get over any hangover you have brisket in a dish it's always hearty. Now to the McOutpost, I love the idea of it. I felt if the biscuit was a bit firmer and more flaky it would've been nice. Overall this spot is a pretty cool spot to go catch a vibe and a bite. read more

Outpost 45 in Lakeview knows how to hit the spot. The She Crab Soup is rich and creamy--like it just slid into your DMs. The Caesar Salad is fresh and crisp, but throw some shrimp on it, and things get downright naughty. The Chicken Fried Steak? Hot, crispy, and smothered in all the right places. Finish strong with the Blonde Bar. read more

The brunch and coffee were delicious. I didn't take the best photos because I was so ready to eat. Service was friendly, fast, and funny! I love new Orleans banter y'all. I will say it's a little pricey, but the food is good. read more

Outpost 45 - Hangover bowl and french toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Service is 10/10! Have to start there. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Low light on the inside so it gives an intimate vibes. Parking can be a challenge, especially on busy nights in the area. The menu has something for everyone and a nice selection of wines and drinks. The catfish strips are amazing. Breaded to perfection and the sauce that comes with it is a perfect match. Good for an evening after work, a night out with the family or a date night with your partner. Most items are also priced fairly. The location is in lake view and good location to walk to local bar or get ice cream from across the street. read more

Ambiance and service were great. Parking wasn't a hassle. Garlic bread: 10/10; best thing I put in my mouth; goes great with sauce from BBQ shrimp Half Roasted chicken: 9/10; was quite full before entrees, but this was quite tasty the following day. Heated in air fryer, and it was moist, tender, and flavorful. Skin was crispy. Cheesy grits: 9/10; these were creamy, cheesy, and tasty Red Fish: Have to follow up with my wife BBQ shrimp: 7/10; wasn't crazy about the shrimp, and didn't like the sourdough bread at all. Sauce was good, though Crab Rangoon dip: 7/10; wontons were light and crispy; dip was tangy, but I don't remember tasting crabmeat Fried ribs: 7/10; tender, juicy, nice crust, but meat needed more seasoning read more

We went during happy hour and had a very pleasant experience. I had the chicken fried steak with a jalapeño and tasso sauce that was great on a bed of cheese grits. They have a good line up of altered old fashioneds so that was exciting for me, it's one of my favorite classic cocktails. I could tell the grits got done too soon because they were a little too cool, but otherwise everything was great. Our server was very attentive and excited to have us sitting in our section with everyone else gravitating towards the bar during happy hour, so that was nice. read more

I decided to come here for my sisters birthday after seeing the dessert board that they call the celebration. It was the kind of extra i was looking for. We started with an appetizer. We got the crab Rangoon dip and it was pretty good. I really liked the chips that were made out of fried wonton wrappers. We got drinks. I don't remember what they were called but the cocktails are really good. For my meal I got a soup and the wasabi oyster Cesar salad. I didn't taste wasabi in the oysters but they were very tasty. My sister got red fish which was just ok. She said she would try something else next time. We ended with the celebration board. It was so cute and the individual desserts were so good. As 3 people we definitely couldn't eat that. We took the majority of it home. The service was average. And the ambiance was nice. Especially the outside area. read more

My friend made reservations for her bday. I had recently seen this place on IG. It looked like it could be a vibe. The menu looks great! I mean when reading the menu you can imagine eating everything. However the food was underwhelming at best. The service was weird as well. Our server seemed to be checked out a little bit. I had the lent special pasta sauce over angel hair pasta. It had potential no seasoning I had to add a lot of salt. I had the crab soup. So rich but no taste. The fried ribs were ok. No seasoning. The onion rings were the bomb. Even my coke was flat ..... Idk if I would go back read more

The service here is TOP TIER! I went here on a whim with a friend for brunch and it did not disappoint. I was studying afterwards but i would have loved to try their drinks as they had SO many different ones. We split a tuna melt & a surf & turf and they were both delicious! Tuna melt was for sure my favorite one. A great shareable would be the crab Rangoon dip! For sureeee also recommend the onion rings so good read more

First time trying Outpost 45 and it was a treat. Once Mondo closed (another fav) I didn't add this venue to my list, but so happy I finally tried them. I was pleasantly surprised. Tried several appetizers and a bottle of Meiomi for the evening and it was truly worth it. There is also a great happy hour during the week, drink specials so I will definitely be back to try more. I love the bar area and vibe of the restaurant. The staff was super friendly and service was on point. I tried the crab wonton dip, debris fries, onion rings and ribs - all so good. There are a few more I'll try out when I go back. Next I want to try the mufalatta eggrolls - they looked so yummy. Menu items: Crab Rangoon Ribs read more

Correction to original review: I'm not schitzo, just got the salad names backward and forgot to correct mine: I had Aunt Les' Spinach Salad, which is my go-to. Everything else still applies! read more

Followed this place on Instagram for a while, and decided to try it out with my cousins. We made reservations online for a Saturday Brunch. My cousin has a nut and a fish allergy, so she put that in the notes for the reservation. Once we arrived we were seated quickly at a booth. It wasn't crowded that day, but I'd still say make reservations just in case. Our waitress was nice and attentive. She mentioned that she saw a fish and nut allergy in the reservation so she asked who was allergic so she could make sure to tell the kitchen when putting in the dishes. I was thoroughly impressed when she said that. Two of my cousins ordered the hangover bowl, I ordered the outpost grit cakes with an order of scrambled eggs, and my other cousin ordered the salmon. I also ordered the Trainwreck (I think this was the name, I just know it had pineapple and coconut in it). Food didn't take too long to come out and it was all hot (which I was grateful for because I don't like warm food). I enjoyed my food, but I think my eggs were a little over cooked as you can see the brown spots on it. My cousins who had the bowl said that they were surprised with how much meat was in, but they wish it would've had some more potatoes rather than the extra meat. My other cousin enjoyed her salmon as well. We went in January so it was kind of chilly outside, but I'd definitely go back in the spring or fall so I could sit outside, since they have a lot of outdoor seating. Also, looking forward to visiting them for dinner, as there are some other items I'd like to try. Food was good and so were the prices. read more

I went here for a late lunch for a friend's birthday. The menu is a decent size and some has some standard brunch fare, but we got the crab rangoon dip which was very good! There are lots of fun cocktails on the menu and I ended up with a strawberry/gin concoction. The hangover bowl was huge and perfect whether you're hungover or not. We went during a Saints game, but we were seated immediately. We were seated near a semi-private area that was occupied by a party. They were kind of loud, but if we weren't next to them, then it would have been decent level of noise. It's a good spot to keep in mind when you need something different than your regular spots. read more

Outpost 45 - Hangover bowl with scrambled eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Another birthday celebration with the family! We had a reservation for 11, and were nicely accommodated in an area slightly away from everyone else. As soon as our full party arrived, we were quickly seated. In the meantime, we ordered drinks from the bar trying to take advantage of the last minute happy hour specials. The waitress was attentive and patient. We ordered and food came out relativity quickly to say it was a Friday night and the restaurant was packed. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the waitress was a bit challenged with meeting our expectations and understanding our request Jen it came to settling the bill. We worked it out amongst ourselves but we had to explain what we needed a few times to her. I'll definitely go back. read more

The service was amazing! Our server was down to Earth, friendly and helpful. They are open during the day for brunch/ lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Other weekdays they open at 4:30 P.M. for dinner. We ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke for an appetizer. It was delicious. The wontons were fresh and crispy. The avocado, pineapple and tuna were perfection. I had the N'awlins Hot Chicken Sandwich with fries. OMG! It's my new favorite. It was so tasty and melted in my mouth. The fries were cooked perfectly. read more

Amazing ambience for Christmas time. The food was amazing and the waiters were attentive and happy to help with wonderful service. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant. read more

First timer here during happy hour. Nice bar area and we ordered drinks, awesome, the food not so much. The food was kind of bland and "old tasting" but the Bar tender was really nice! And it wasn't her fault, but the food could've been better in my opinion. read more

This place is adorable. It has outdoor seating with astroturf to give you the feel of sitting in a garden and indoors is dimly lit and comfortable. They have metal shelving hanging above the bar with the extra alcohol bottles, which I loved, because you can see what they have at a glance. We started off with the orange julius margaritas, which did remjnd me of orange julius at the mall, just needs a tiny bit more orange flavor. My friend tore up the orange slice garnish and muddled it into the drink. My friend had the she crab soup and I had to taste it. It was amazing! I will go back for this next time. So good! My meal was the fillmore scramble (eggs with tomatoes, scallions, shitake mushrooms, spinach and feta), spict cheesy grits and a biscuit. It was super tasty. I did have to ask for butter and jelly for my biscuit, which seemed weird, because no one I know eats a biscuit with nothing on it. We shared the bread pudding with vanilla bean ice cream and it was also wonderful. Most of the staff came over at some point and had a chat with us, which I enjoyed. They do have a mimosa flight, which looked pretty good too. read more

The place looks really good! The ambiance is so cute! You sort of feel like you're on a ranch but throw a splash of Hollywood in there. Had the hangover bowl as my meal, but it was lacking in flavor. I also believe the brisket was overcooked. A few of the potatoes were hard and undercooked as well. The grits had a good flavor though. The drinks were perfect! I had the Orange Julius Margarita, which really brought back childhood memories of having Orange Juliuses. I also had the Violet Beauregarde, which was a nice blend of tequila, blueberry, and taste! read more

Been wanting to get here so I finally made it for brunch. It wasn't crowded at all, a lot of searing was available. My friend and I sat at a high top in the bar area. I ordered this mimosa spin off cocktail, that was really yummy and cute presentation wise. For my food, I was stuck between the Oyster Bennie and the Hangover Bowl. I decided on the oysters. It was pretty good but nothing special. The food temp was mediocre and I don't like sending food back. I would go back again and try some other menu items. read more

5 stars for service. If you get Jayla as your waitress she will take great care of you. The food is pretty good. I LOVE the sweet potato fries and they always have yummy frozen cocktails that rotate out regularly. I've fallen in love with the frozen watermelon margarita and the frozen prickly pear margarita. The decor reminds me of a mix between a country saloon with hints of pop culture art. The bathroom is immaculately maintained which I appreciate having three small kids. We will be back to try brunch one Sunday. read more

Dinner Update: I had a reservation of 7, and we enjoyed the food as much as the brunch, maybe even more. The dishes that stood out were the Shitake Mushroom Pasta from the Panned Chicken, Pecan Crusted Catfish, and the Skirt Steak. The listed were well seasoned, and we left very satisfied. I highly recommend the apps ordered as well. This place gets super busy at night so having a reservation for a party of 4+ is recommended. read more

This place is cute! The server was super nice! He answered any questions & gave his recommendations. I have a nut allergy so unfortunately that ruled most of the menu for me as they use Almond oil to fry everything. I was able to order the Filmore Scramble with breakfast potatoes. It was good. I'd visit again to check out the outdoor area. (It was raining when I visited so couldn't enjoy.) read more

I met a friend here for happy hour drink and apps. We both saw the same Instagram influencer talk about it and I do wonder if perhaps that's the reason for some of the lower reviews. Anyway I did enjoy the vibe with the super low lighting inside. It was still too hot to enjoy the lovely patio. I did make a trip to the bathroom and it was well maintained with some extra items and decent decor. I had frozen french 75 with onion rings and boudin dip. The frozen french 75 is a super generous size and great strength. The rings were well cooked and not greasy. I wasn't a fan of the boudin dip but my friend was. Service was decent though we didn't require much. Overall, a decent spot. read more

This place is pricy for sure. They have alot going for it though. They have location, fun and friendly staff, nice ambience, really cool coktail concepts like the build your own old fashioned, and they have creative dishes - some don't think are prefected yet or at least note when I went. Overall, I give it 4 stars because I like their ambition. I think the outdoor space is incredible. I like that obnoxious, fun cotton candy dessert. Their brunch concept with the champagne flutes in a whimsical arrangement. I will have to try this place again for brunch. The dish I ordered here was at lunch time or early dinner and it was the pecan crusted catfish, maybe I am just not a fan of the pecan and catfish combo because I love pecans and I love catifish, but I didn't love the execution of this dish. The sauce spot on though. And it did have a nice crispy, crunch. The hubby ordered something I am not sure is on the menu anyway, it was pulled pork, I think, with mac n cheese and beans. The mac n cheese was spot on, but I did not love the meat or beans. I think this place is definitely up and coming, I do wish the prices were a little lower but keep moving in the direction you are going in. read more

We went to Outpost 45 for brunch. We had never been there before and thought this was a great opportunity to try them out. We ordered the Muffaletta Eggrolls as an appetizer. For entrees, we split the Smoked Brisket Bennie. The poached eggs were perfect, and the flavor of the smoked brisket was better than I could have possibly hoped for. The service was incredible, and the atmosphere was truly remarkable with vintage movie and music artwork. There was outdoor seating available. Wit the summer heat, we did not partake but vowed to be back in the fall. read more

If there's one negative about this place their isn't 1! Lol! The Outpost45 Grit Cakes are heaven on a plate you forget you are eating grits. Blackened Red fish cooked to perfection with the perfection amount of lump crab and potatoes that aren't burnt! The drinks are great also esp the Paloma and Old fashioned. Service didn't miss either we were being indecisive and she never got an attitude about us taking long to order lol read more

I want to love this place. Their restaurant is super cute. Their menu looks nice as well. Servers are always friendly and personable. The food is always meh. The people I've gone with had similar experiences with the mediocre food. One thing struck me as odd is that they serve homemade potato chips but serve frozen fries. This place has such potential. I'm really hopeful they nail it read more

I have posted about this restaurant before after having the Brunch. Trust me, the Dinner menu, and food selection is FAR SUPERIOR to the brunch menu. We had a larger group for dinner and we all o Loved our meals. The Corn Crusted Pork sShank was excellent. The Redfish was great as was the Salmon. We loved the Wasabi Oysters and the Crab Rangoon Dip. Don't forget to get the garlic bread. Service with Gail was excellent. Ambiance was nice. The bar served good drinks. read more

I came here after the CCC 10k because it was close to city park where the race ended and because I've been wanting to try it out. It was not packed and we were able to be seated immediately. We sat outside because we were sweaty and because the weather was nice. We ordered the mimosa flights and they did take quite some time. Our server said they ran out of the puree so they were making some. The funny thing is after the mimosas finally came out a fly landed right in the glass as soon as it hit the table lol. But they were delicious! I was hesitant about the coconut flavor but it actually ended up being my favorite. We ordered the crab rangoon dip to start which was good but I feel like it was just missing some sweet chili sauce to really bring it up a notch. I wasn't really in a brunch food mood so I ordered the burger which you can never go wrong with. The service was great. We had Eric as our server and he was very attentive. Corey was another server who wasn't assigned to our table but he was so friendly and helpful. The staff here was amazing and I definitely will be back read more

According to my husband, I ordered correctly. The crab ragoon dip was great and so were my brisket eggs bennie! I also got a train wreck mimosa which was good!

They have a mimosa flight that looks fun! read more

Me and my boyfriend went out for dinner tonight and wanted to try a new place. We saw Outpost and decided to give it a try. I have not truly enjoyed a meal out like i did this one, in years. We got the chips and dips to start and loved all of them and mixing. He went with the cajun pasta and i opted for the chicken fried steak dinner, absolutely amazing! We thought we had no room left until they said they had bread pudding and wow it was great. I will say it has raisins so if you aren't into that maybe it isn't for you, we loved it! Would come back as a nice date many more times. *Extra note that we observe often, managers were very observant and kind to their workers. As service industry workers we value a resturant where the employees enjoy their job! Happy servers made the time way more enjoyable. read more

Enjoyed a Sunday afternoon brunch. The dining area was very pleasant and quiet. They also had a really nice patio set up as well. Would be perfect for a night out for drinks. We had a party of 6 and were seated in a round booth table. Lots of room for all of us and our food. Our server Jenna was wonderful. She was patient while the rest of our party arrived and brought everything out very fast. We ordered the iced cold brew to start and they were a good combination of strong and sweet. Our table ordered several drinks including the mimosa flight, margarita, orange Julius margarita, and the spa water. All were very delicious. The spa water specifically was very crisp and refreshing. All of our food was amazing and came out very quick and fresh. Overall a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

There's just so many other restaurants like this already... I don't know why they had to build another one. It's pretty generic food. They already have Juniors in Lakeview. Outpost 45 isn't really authentic anything, and it's not very creative. So much of it is pre-made and just warmed up. Nothing made to order. I'm sure they're raking in money though because all of these items are low-grade but still very expensive. I give it two stars because the service is very good. Also the happy hour leaves much to be desired. They have deals on wine "9 oz for the price of 6oz" but still ridiculously overpriced. And on liquor, but not the cocktails! read more

French toast was awful, tastes just like bunny bread and it was very soggy. They should definitely try to use a different type of bread for this plate. I've had way better at other brunch restaurants. Hangover bowl looked and tasted like a plate of dog food. No presentation, way too many flavors in one bowl. Tried to get it changed but manager refused-- much different protocol at other restaurants. Normally they'll just change the plate because they want the customer to be happy or at least offer a discount. Customer service was professional but not understanding nor helpful with the dissatisfactions of the customer. read more

I was shocked at how good the food was here. I know this spot has been 3 or 4 different restaurants since Hurricane Katrina (and I liked Mondo) so I wasn't sure what to expect being that this spot has had so much turnover in the past 18 years. But everything we ordered (the poke and crab Rangoon dip for appetizers and the panned chicken & blackened redfish for entrees) was excellent. As a Lakeview resident, it's nice to have a "date night" spot only a few minutes from my house. Next up to try - Red Bird Fried Chicken! read more

Food selections are not too wide but overall tastes good. Nice, cozy atmosphere with that wooden "outpost" feel. read more
