Came here on a Sunday to try their $3 breakfast. It came with grits, eggs, toast, and sausage. For the price no where else can beat it. We also got an order of pancakes that were good. We went when they first opened and the owner was super nice. I will have to come back and try it for lunch or dinner. read more

Pra_LEES - Breakfast Special - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So dude and I came to visit our babies and this little gem popped up. Ms.Jayla took our order, loved her she was very loving and straightforward. It took a while for our order to come out but I'm thinking due to the transition from breakfast so be patient during those times. I got the fried salmon corn, brussel sprouts and mac. Dude got fried catfish, green beans, roasted potatoes, mac and a side of coconut shrimp. So our fish was very flavorful, I thought my salmon would be dry but it was fair and the sauce on side was a nice little balance. The mac was good very cheesy we enjoyed that. My favorite were those sprouts honey I wish I would've gotten two orders cause the corn wasn't the best. Overall this spot was pretty cool and I heard it be live!!! read more

I heard this spot was a hidden gem, and it absolutely is! The food was amazing. Three of us ordered different meals and appetizers, and everything was excellent. My only suggestion would be to offer homemade sweet tea instead of Pure Leaf. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Pra_LEES - Catfish Box with Fries - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So far so good . The breakfast is fabulous. I at least go there two to three days per weeks .

Pra_Lees is tucked away on a side street away from the busy Gentilly St scene, across from Dillard University. This hidden gem is has a cozy, laid back atmosphere. There is a sense of nostalgia when you walk through the doors and hear old school R & B tunes with corresponding videos. The food is good and prices are reasonable. The service is accommodating and the staff is friendly. Food Review: Crawfish Mac - is very delicious, has plenty of crawfish mixed into the tender noodles with creamy cheese. It has a hint of smoke and seafood flavor that delights your tastebuds. Fried Lobster - lobster tail is huge! It was fried slightly darker than golden, but didn't take away from the moistness. The accompanying sweet dipping sauce, really makes the dish pop. Fried Shrimp - golden fried, good flavor, kind of tough but tasty. Garden Salad - fresh greens and veggies was really good. Cabbage - HORRIBLE! Tasted scorched and overcooked. read more

I pass by this restaurant all the time and finally decided to check it out. Pra lees exceeded expectations. I went for lunch. You choose a protein, an entree, and 2 vegetables. I chose the deep fried lobster tail, rasta pasta, Cajun corn and the salad. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. The cashier was extremely nice and patient. The restaurant is a decent size. Not much parking but next time I'll dine in. I'm definitely going back to try the rest of the menu. read more

My experience was unforgettable. While I would purchase food from this restaurant in the future, I would only purchase a to-go order. The dine-in experience was horrible, but the lady taking our order was nice, and the food was delicious overall. The dine-in experience was more like an expensive food truck experience opposed to a normal dine-in restaurant experience. You have to prepay for your food, they don't have water on tap, and no drink is refillable. All drinks are in a can or bottle. All food comes in Styrofoam to-go containers, including $40 lambchop meals. The cutlery and napkins are those that you would find with cheap food truck meals. There were no knives, so I had to eat my lollipop lambchops with my hands. No one serves you at your table. They call your ticket number for you to come get your own food, so the 20% tip you give at the beginning is for nothing. The indoor seating is limited. The air conditioning available for indoor seating is strained. Therefore, it's hot as soon as the door is opened a few times in a row. It took 40 minutes for us to get our food, and we were seated by the door and the bathroom. Our experience included the smell of an unchecked restaurant bathroom and a lot of bodies crammed in a small space. We were being accidentally nudged by patrons waiting to order their food because the indoor dining space is so small. The music started off pleasant, and then they changed the playlist. It was so disgusting and vulgar that I had to leave because we had a child with us, but I personally have zero appreciation for that type of music, so I would have left either way. Despite the dining experience, the food was good overall. My critiques have to do with the styrofoam plating of a $40 meal and canned yams. This is below standard for a dine-in experience and quality of a meal. If a dish comes from the can, the patron shouldn't be able to tell. The lambchops and brussel sprouts were pretty good. They are both dishes that don't need heavy seasoning, and they seasoned them perfectly. The crawfish macaroni and cheese lacked crawfish. The crawfish were more like a topping than a part of a dish, but it was still good. The favorite dish at the table was the Rasta Pasta, though the shrimp were not gulf shrimp and were small. Everyone was pleased enough with the food to purchase a to-go order in the future, but not for $40. read more

Pra_LEES - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've waited a long time to try this place out and I finally got the chance and it is 5 star for sure! I ordered the fried salmon ( I was skeptical because I was worried it'd be dry.... It wasn't!!), Rasta pasta and double brussel sprouts (because Brussels are my fav!... and they didn't disappoint). My friend got the grilled lobster, Mac & crawfish, corn and broccoli. For dessert we got the praline loaf. We sampled off of each others plates The salmon was nothing short of amazing and it came with a sweet chili sauce that was a nice added flavor. I had some remoulade sauce at home and I tried it on the salmon and that was good as well. The brussel sprouts were just perfect! The Rasta pasta was different than what I expected it was made of spiral noodles, shrimp and Italian dressing. I was expecting a cream sauce with a jerk spicy seasoning. It was my least favorite but that's more so because I don't like Italian seasoning, if you like Italian you'll love it. The Mac & crawfish was good and creamy. On to the dessert the praline loaf was good. I'm not a sweets eater but I do love a praline. This was perfect it wasn't too sweet and was the perfect ending to the entrees we had. As far as customer service it was good. The cashier was very friendly and was able to answer all of our questions and make recommendations. We tried to call in our order before we arrived but no one ever answer the phone so we just showed up and the wait wasn't more than 15 mins. So not bad ! The restaurant is so nicely decorated the murals painted on the walls are so NOLA. I can't wait to go back. And I definitely recommend this place to others. Next time I'm trying the yellow rice and shrimp! read more

We ordered the wings with house sauce and fries. Also had the chicken quesadilla . My grandson enjoyed his wings and fries were seasoned perfectly. The quesadilla was good but has nothing on Fanasty Taco's . My grandson also had the juice from the juice bar and it was refreshing . Was our first time visiting was a lil disappointed they didn't have the pralines or praline cupcakes ppl were talking about . Probably will stop by again and try other items and hopefully they will have the pralines read more

The establishment is beautiful on the inside, from the artwork to the seating. The food was meh. The chicken was over cooked and extremely hard to cut and chew .

Pra_LEES - Chicken, rice, potatoes, broccoli - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

After a disappointing couple days of mediocre food in the French quarter. We stumbled upon Pra_LEES and regained hope in New Orleans cuisine. I got the fried shrimp, broccoli, and corn for my plate then ordered extra shrimp and a side of brussel sprouts. Lemme tell y'all, the shrimp and brussel sprouts had me clenching my fists. SO GOOD. Jayda was very helpful in assisting us with our order read more

I have been following this restaurant on social media platforms all year. On our annual trip to New Orleans, Pra Lees was at the top of our "To Do" list. We got the open time wrong, but patiently waited for them to open. It was worth the wait. The fried salmon was out of this world good. It was so juicy and flavorful. All of the food was so good, but the Praline Cupcake was insanely good! Oooooo it was so good! I'm so upset that I didn't buy an extra one. The portion was way more than expected, but I won't complain about it because we ate ALL of it. Also, the restaurant was very clean and we felt safe. Thank You for the great customer service and great food. We will definitely return. (December 20, 2022) read more

The food here? BOMBBBB! I don't think I've ever had brussels sprouts or fried shrimp that good in my life. After two days of disappointing food, we took a chance on this place and it honestly reignited our excitement for discovering New Orleans cuisine. This spot is a MUST when you're here! read more

BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN FOREVER; i was nervous about the food bc ive never been and it looked sort of like a local regular restaurant, but THIS WAS MUCH MORE. very delicious food and cute restaurant with games to play while you wait for them to FRESHLY make your delicious food. i was unsure what to get bc the menu had so many DELICIOUS options so i asked TOYA (MAMA LEE) what i should get and her recommendations were even better than i could've asked for. plenty of food, plenty of fun, and plenty of memories with my family today thanks to yall. I will definitely be returning, this place really does it right and i could really type 10 more paragraphs if i could! read more

We went today because we didn't feel like cooking. However, it was a great choice. It was a little hard to find though. Food: I got the beef wrap and crab rice. He got the chicken quesadilla. I loved the wrap. It was amazing. Portion size was good. Crab rice was good. It seemed to have cheese in it which was weird but it was still pretty good. Wish there was more crab meat in there. The quesadilla was good but the portion size was soooo small. It definitely wasn't enough. Also the wraps and things like that should come with fries or something. Pineapple lemonade was decent. It was pink lemonade with pineapple juice added. Staff: the young man at the register was so nice and helpful. He was very informative and attentive. He kept us update as to the status of our food. By far some of the best customer service I've had here. Interior: it was nice but small area. If it gets backed it will be difficult to enjoy the tv they have on and to sit comfortably. Parking: there's only 2 parking spaces and 1 handicap spaced Overall it was good and I'd come back again especially since it's in the neighborhood read more

Food was incredible!! Everything was good. Everything! The stuffed burger was so good. The meat is seasoned and then stuffed with goodness. It came dressed with tomatoes and I don't even eat tomatoes but I ate them that day. Burger was that good! Fried fish was seasoned and flavorful. And the batter doesn't come off like it does at some other places. Even the fries were great. They're kinda garlicky and delicious. The crab rice was delicious as well. Now it is a little warm inside and a fairly small space so I recommend getting your food to go. I'll definitely be back. My new favorite food spot! read more

So this is my second time here, haven't gotten my food YET, But there will be an update. This post is only for the customer service, the female behind the register with the locs needs customer service training. Her voice has no love and shows the business no justice, it says "I just wanna be home, I don't care about y'all." When asked what an item on the menu was, she answered without an answer..... She doesn't know the menu or what's in the food..... I'm hoping the food is good because when they were at the old location , the service was FANTASTIC but my wings were not cooked fully. UPDATE: Was never given my drink, cashier states you have to ask for your drink before your food comes otherwise you won't be given it. A lady that ordered before me was never given her drink also. Took about 30min and people that ordered after me received their food before me, plus we were told we didn't wait 30min, more like 22min. We had actually waited over 30min, but that's restaurant's favorite line when they have customers wait too long. Btw I worked in a family restaurant ten years. Ro mein is good but there was really no crab meat (my chosen meat) in it, wings needed more seasoning and I didn't know it would come with corn. I don't eat corn and didn't have the option to change it. Definitely not worth $18. I'll try my luck on the next black owned business. read more

Friendly mom and pops shop that sells quality food. I like to visit once a week for dinner.

This establishment lacks accountability for any wrong doing, they took FOREVER to make my food. I was there about 20 mins after they opened and waited over an hour for my food. No communication, no reconciliation. I don't know what's the hype about this place but it's not it. You guys really need to humble yourself and treat people better when your business is customer based. I would not recommend eating here. It's New Orleans there's a lot of really good food places with better hospitality. The food is not that good to be having to go through all of this. You guys focus on your social media to portray that this is a worthy establishment but you guys are giving a false narrative to your restaurant. read more

Let's start off with the service and wait time. You must pay before being seated, well before you seat yourself. We waited for our food an entire hour and twelve minutes.The food was not good at all. The wings I ordered appeared to be undercooked, and I asked the only waitress they have to have them cooked longer, and she suggested that I just bite into them because the garlic Parmesan wings just look raw. My husband ordered the seafood nachos and they were very soggy. The salmon bites were not cooked completely inside. The crab rice was hard and overcooked. All the food came out together even though we ordered appetizers. The temperature on our food was not what it should've been. Yeah no! We wanted to support during Essence, but some major adjustments are needed. The worst $96.00 I have ever spent! read more

Yaaaas! Pray Lees! Come all the way thru!! The food is as good as it looks on Instagram. Delicious! I order the wings and loaded fries, but I didn't get a picture because I ate it as soon as I opened the box. Didn't even make it to car. My friend ordered the shrimp wrap and got her entire life! The ONLY NEGATIVE is that the inside is small and hot, so order ahead for pick up if you can. I plan to be back every time I'm in NOLA. Also there's a snowball stand right next door (Stop Jockin) and I found gummy bears in my sno ball! Happy accident I guess. Idk. I'll be back there too. read more

I have a weakness for loaded fries and wings. This is a nice local small business that does both right. The building is small so don't go expecting a nice dining experience. I've tried their loaded fries, crawfish fries (a little too much cheese for me), traditional wings, seafood plate and praline cupcake. Everything was made to order and tasted amazing. They offer a punch card for frequent customers. I plan to try something different every time I go. read more

I had super high hope for this place. This was so underwhelming for me on multiple fronts. The food was over cooked and dry, however, it had a creole flavor. The pricing structure and the produce didn't align for me. I got a mammoth load of rice and not a lot of meat as anticipated. Maybe a caught them on a bad day but I paid $80+ for this and there's no excuses for bad days like this in this economy. They have about 3 or 4 parking spots available (it NOLA). I didn't like the fact that they didn't open on time. They have really good customer service and friendly people that work there. So based on my experience, you already know if I'm going back. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think. read more

I'm going to celebrate this business, even though they dropped the ball on their "Cajun Corn" Fried fish, Shrimp Alfredo, Steamed Broccoli, Crawfish Macaroni, Fried Crawfish Balls and Cajun Corn. This was my order. The food temperature was excellent, flavor of food Excellent, Service quality was excellent as well. The Cajun Corn, was simply corn warmed up, absolutely nothing Cajun about it. I would definitely return and look forward to seeing what the extent of the menu is. Please get that Cajun Corn corrected..... read more

Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. I had the grilled catfish and red beans & rice. Rice was bland and overcooked but the beans, catfish, and cornbread were delicious! Owner and chef were really nice and I got my food in less then 10 min. Will definitely be back! read more

**Hidden Gem** first let me say that the food was outstanding! (A little heavy on the lemon but not enough to deter me). I definitely plan to go back for more. The menu was difficult to understand (i feel that they need a menu to show the possible variations of their food). Prices were decent. Food was good. The only negative thing is the wait time.... geesh!! Prepare to wait 30-45minutes for your food. If they can get the cook time down, they will have 5 stars from me. BTW, their Instagram shows all the yummy food they have. Check it out. read more
