I thought it was delicious! We order the cheesesteak and the chicken wings. I didn't think the pricing was bad at all for their menu items either. I didn't not expect much, but it blew me away. I ate everything on the plate. The workers and the patrons are super nice. Everyone told me their favorite things to eat and how they ordered. Not a sit down spot, so we ordered and took everything to go. Parking is on the street or the side alley. read more

Awesome place. Reliable and a great selection. Can get high end alcohol at even late hours.

My boyfriend and I were visiting NOLA for Mardi Gras and his birthday. Our Airbnb was nearby Rainbow Grocery and when we landed, we just wanted something quick to eat. I saw that Rainbow Grocery had hot food, so we went over here. I wanted a po-boy, but they ran out of hoagie rolls, so we opted to get a cheeseburger with fries. My boyfriend and I were actually amazed that the cheeseburger and fries were good! From a liquor store?! Since our first night ordering from Rainbow Grocery, we probably went there every night, just for drinks and snacks. Workers were nice! read more

I feel bad about leaving this review. I might be ruining an amazing thing for those already in the know, as now even more people will discover this secret gem. Rainbow's poboys are as good as any I have had in New Orleans. The chicken tenders are big and juicy... the kind of comfort food that gives me uncomfortable thoughts when walking past livestock. read more

Well look man I think the appearance is pleasant. I've thought really hard about this, and I'm ready to say that they have my favorite fish on toast in the city, or anywhere. All the food's really good! Solid and interesting rotation of beers in the cooler. Huge tree root out front that makes a comfy chair while waiting for an uber. They answer the phone to take your order at 1:15 in the morning. Nice guys 10/10 read more

Good food, especially for late nights. Quick service as well. I definitely come here once a month for the vibes.

I am impressed, Rainbow Grocery was simply spectacular. The menu is extensive, I was overwhelmed with the choices. Every single thing we had here was fantastic. Workers are very pleasant and service is very quick. Rainbow Grocery is definitely one of my go to's when I come to this area. read more

I love Rainbow. It's steps away from my house so I'm often there multiple times a day. They have a great selection of beer, wine, and liquor. The guys who work there are angels--always friendly and polite. :-) read more

Great selection of alcohol, friendly staff, and decent fried food! Wonderful neighborhood corner store.

Incredible fried chicken po boy but the shrimp didn't taste that fresh. $1 convenience fee for cards. Great staff and beer selection!

In a city that's becoming full of $12+ poboys, this place still makes my favorite shrimp poboy. The price is incredibly reasonable and the quality is fantastic. They use enough large shrimp that the 8" is enough to fill you up. Their hot sausage is legit as well. During Mardi Gras we usually get shrimp plates and drinks there on a daily basis and when we don't feel like going to Rouses during the rest of the year for a six pack they're our spot. One last note: the employees/owner and whoever does the food prep are always so damn nice. I love this place and everything about it. read more

Amazing liquor selection, great food, and some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet running the place. It's pretty rare that your typical corner store stands out, but these guys go above and beyond for their neighborhood. read more

Best damned cheeseburger ever. It's a huge, hand made patty that spills over the large hamburger bun. And it's only $6. A burger this size would cost $12-$15 anywhere else. Open till 2 a.m. Great selection of booze too. read more

Drove from Mobile, Alabama for this place! Best prices on liquor I've found!!! Great dude, I believe his name is Moe! Dude is amazing!!! I def recommend those place. read more

If you are looking for the perfect shrimp poboy, this is your place. The 8" poboy is a beast that 2 hands cant handle. Made with fresh french bread, fried perfectly. Make sute your bread is toasted and buttered, add hot sauce and ketchup---heaven! read more

I love this place! LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is my favorite place for a cheeseburger, especially after happy hour at my favorite watering hole. I call Rainbow Grocery as I'm walking out, place my order, and it's ready in the 6 minutes it takes me to get there. Best part? Order a "Combo" and you get a dressed cheeseburger, crinkle fries, and a can soda for $7. The kitchen in the back of this store is small, nothing fancy, but always clean and efficient. The older gentleman that worked the kitchen was a true gentleman, was a master at cooking up anything back there in no time flat, and had the tendency to share off-menu foods that he had prepared for free (my favorite were his grape leaves). Sadly, I've noticed that he has not been in the kitchen lately. A younger gentleman is and the food is just not the same. Usually overcooked. The alcohol selection here is amazing. I've been able to find things at Rainbow that I can't anywhere else in the area. I also find a few new things that I've never seen on the shelves of other local groceries. Did you know that Angry Orchard made a bubbly? Neither did I, until I found it at Rainbow Mart! Unlike the food, alcohol here is a little overpriced. I paid $16 for that bottle of newly discovered bubbly. It's nice to have choices though, unlike other quick-stop businesses. read more

The reason we stopped in to this little neighborhood place was for the pecan beer. We would definitely go back, if we were in the area again. Friendly place, good prices, good selection. read more

They sell Patons hot sausage po-boy and its affordable. My po-boy was only $4.99! I will be visiting this place again!

Love the rainbow grocery! I stop in about once a day, sometimes twice because I work such long hours. They have almost anything you could possibly need, from top shelf liquor, great beer selection, to fun ethnic food products. The place is always clean and well stocked, and they keep the riff raff away. They recently opened a kitchen and have an awesome breakfast sandwich for just under three bucks. Their wings are also really good, and at six bucks for ten of them you can't beat it. The kitchen is also really clean, which is a rarity for little places like this. The staff is awesome and remembers you by name if you go in enough. They also special ordered a specific kind of mints that my friend and I are obsessed with because we go in so much! They have really turned this place around from what it was when it was under old management, so if you have not been in recently you should stop in and see what it's about. read more

The best market in NOLA!!! They have everything I need and the guys that work there are awesome!

open late with a tiny deli in back and a wide variety of beers, boozes, vino, and soft dranks, a soft chewy center of packaged foods to keep the stomach down in it. Open till 2 am or worser most nights, its rare they don;t gots what i need when i needs it. Especially when i'm psycho-high on poppers and need to retank my butt to keep fluttering. also: powerballs. read more

If you see a guy grilling outside this place during Mardi Gras, get the cheeseburger. The cheeseburgers here are delicious and I definitely recommend. This place is also great for all your adult beverage needs. What else could you ask for? read more

Best hamburger in NOLA and huge liquor with great prices.

Stopoed in for the reputation of their fried chicken wings by a passerby. Not a bad experience. Very well Supplied grocery store and the wings were a bit dry but good. read more

Wonderful staff, great burgers. Ask for a double spicy and they'll know what's up. Pretty large alcohol section too.
