Sometimes it's worth trusting your instincts instead of guest reviews and social media influencers…read more That was definitely the case with breakfast this morning. After reading years-old mixed reviews and finding very little recent information, I decided to give Anita's Grill a chance. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my entire two-week trip. For me, it checked every box. It's wheelchair accessible, easy to reach by public transportation, serves fantastic food, and delivers warm, attentive service. Before heading over, I called to confirm accessibility. The woman who answered not only assured me they were accessible but said she'd keep an eye out for my arrival. She wasn't kidding. When I arrived, not one but two staff members came to the entrance to welcome me and help guide me inside. The restaurant has the feel of a classic neighborhood diner, comfortable, unpretentious, and serving the kind of food that keeps people coming back. After hearing so many people rave about the pancakes, I had to try them. Paired with cheesy grits, tea, and milk, the breakfast is outstanding. Every bite lives up to the hype. My server, Kia, is easily one of the best I've had anywhere in New Orleans. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, she makes an already great meal even better. Then came the biggest surprise of all: the bill. It was the least expensive meal I've had during nearly two weeks in New Orleans, yet it ranks among the very best. Outstanding food, exceptional service, great value, and easy accessibility. That's hard to beat. Had I discovered Anita's Grill earlier, it would have become my regular breakfast stop without question. It has risen to the top of my list and left the competition behind. Even my bus driver on the way there couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Now I understand why. #AnitasGrill #TysAdventures26 #WheelchairAccessible #BlackOwnedBusiness #NewOrleans #BreakfastDoneRight

Stories have been told about lines around the corner but not this particular day. I was running late and by the time I arrived most of our wait was over.

The food, lord just writing about the oxtails and grits make me want to go get oxtails to put over grits! They were fabulous. The place is a real vibe, tasteful music playing, the decor is on point and again the staff adds to the place and doesn't take away like some spots. If you are in town for a visit this is a must stop. Thank me later. Oh and the drinks are worth the $$

The restaurant is tucked away in a residential area and was much less chaotic than I'd expected for a Saturday brunch. When I walked in, there were 2-3 open spots at the bar, so I was seated quickly. I considered a few other dishes, but I was sold on the classic Benedict before I even walked in. I ordered the potatoes as a side. The eggs Benedict was on the smaller side, but it was just right for my appetite. The potatoes had good flavor without being overwhelming. The staff were friendly and attentive. I'd definitely go back.

It is probably my top 3 breakfasts in the city and yes, I got another hot Irish coffee - which was just as delicious as it was a few years ago. It is perfect and you MUST try it! The service is always great, an at home feeling, laid back and genuine. They have many options on the menu including healthy breakfast items, which is what I needed a few months ago when we dined here. They also have their yummy, rich calroific options as well. So go crazy if you like. The ambience is true New Orleans, wooden floors, high ceilings, art on the walls, french doors, and great service I can't wait to come back and of course, I will get that Irish coffee!

Up&Adam, NOLA! Somebody Come Roll Me Back to the Hotel!…read more Let's talk about it! At this point, I have officially lost count of how many times I've been to Up&Adam in New Orleans. And clearly, there's a reason I keep coming back! This time, it was me, my sister, and my two daughters, and baby, when I tell you I'm sitting here wondering who is going to roll me back to the hotel, I am NOT exaggerating! First, let's talk about the seating. We decided to sit outside, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they now have umbrellas! The last time I visited, they didn't have any, and although it was comfortable, that New Orleans heat was still doing its thing. This time, those umbrellas were definitely a must! Between the shade and that beautiful breeze, it was just perfect. Such a nice, quaint little atmosphere. Now, let's get into these MIMOSAS! The last time I was here, I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted, so of course I had to try more than one. This time, we decided to order a carafe for the table so everyone could enjoy. Delicious, as always! Now the FOOD! The food, the food, THE FOOD! I don't care how many times I come here or what I order, they just don't disappoint! One thing about me, I HAVE to get that Tchoupitoulas sauce! If it doesn't come with my meal, I'm ordering it on the side. That's how serious I am about it! This time, I decided to go with the French toast and scrambled eggs. Let me tell you, that French toast was AMAZING! Absolutely delicious! But apparently, that wasn't enough for my greedy self because I also decided I needed some cheesy grits. And let me tell you something, when you can eat grits with cheese and don't have to add a single bit of seasoning, YOU KNOW those grits are good! And these were freaking delicious! Now, as for everyone else, one of my daughters ordered the French Market Sandwich, and my sister went with the Uptown Adam Breakfast. My other daughter ordered the same thing I did, except she went with turkey sausage. Me? Oh no, I needed ALL my bacon! We all had something we enjoyed, and trust me, nobody was complaining! Listen, if you're ever in New Orleans, please do yourself a favor and stop by Up&Adam. It's a nice, quaint spot with a welcoming atmosphere and some seriously delicious food. And what I appreciate most is the consistency. I've been here more times than I can count, and the food never disappoints. Now, if somebody could just come get me and roll me back to my hotel, I'd greatly appreciate it because clearly, I have eaten enough for the rest of the day! Up&Adam, you already know I'll be back!

Arielle is personable and welcoming. Really helpful and informative…read more Fire crab bites (6) pieces. $10 They come out piping hot. Nice crunchy crust with a small creamy center. They look small but they pack a bunch of flavor. It comes with a mayo based dipping sauce that has a little bite to it. Tchoup Bowl $14 Nice deep fried diced potato covered in a rich crawfish cream sauce topped with cheese and an egg. I added bacon for $2. The menu says scrambled eggs but you can get it anyway you want. Good start in the Morning. I find it funny (in a good way) that they ask if you want chives on top. 2 gender neutral restroom located in the center of the main dining room. The bathroom doors open into the dining room. The restroom is clean and spacious, they have a medical sharp container. Note: they impose a 18% automatic gratuity. I also think there is a 3% Credit Card charge.

We had lunch at Welty's twice during our time in New Orleans and had a great experience both times!…read moreEverything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. The husband and wife who own Welty's are always there and couldn't be friendlier, and the same goes for their family and the rest of the staff. You can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. If you're visiting New Orleans or work in the area and are looking for a great, fresh sandwich and a friendly local spot for lunch, I highly recommend Welty's. We'll definitely be back on our next trip!

I came across Welty's in an interesting way. I asked ChatGPT to recommend local spots for a…read more50-person volunteer box lunch order at work, and it flagged Welty's as a strong contender based on Google reviews. So I figured I'd do a trial run first. Food (7/10) They wouldn't let me order a single box lunch, so I pieced together a comparable meal: a ham and cheese sandwich with chips, plus a cookie purchased separately. A few things stood out. First, there were no condiments included, so the sandwich was noticeably dry by the time I got back to the office -- something worth flagging for anyone ordering for an event. That said, the meat portion was generous, which I appreciated. It came with Miss Vickie's Sea Salt chips; I'm not sure if other flavors were available, but none were offered. The cookies came three to a container, roughly 3-inch chocolate chip, and were ok. The total with tax came to $21 for the sandwich, chips, and cookies. This doesn't seem like a good value, since I can get a combo meal from Espresso Express in the Entergy building for $12.50, and it comes with a sandwich, chips, cookie and drink--canned, bottled water or iced tea. I also wasn't able to try the fruit cocktail, so that remains an unknown. The meal came in a standard clear plastic container. While functional, it wasn't remarkable. For a catered event where appearance matters, it doesn't quite measure up to what competitors like Jason's Deli or The Honey Baked Ham offer in terms of packaging and visual appeal. Service (6/10) One person greeted me warmly when I walked in by describing their sweet treats. Everything else, unfortunately, fell flat. The cashier didn't acknowledge me and was noticeably unfriendly, and this was only about 20 minutes after opening, with no one else in line. A man came out from the back and just stared at me. The overall energy was one of visible surprise at my presence. I'll leave it at that, because I can't read minds. What I can say is that I've encountered this particular brand of unwelcome before, in situations where I didn't fit the profile of the customer they seemed to expect. Make of that what you will. Ambiance (8/10) It's clean and tidy. It's a food court. Bottom line: The food shows promise, but the service experience gave me pause, both in terms of hospitality basics and something that felt more personal. Worth trying for yourself and drawing your own conclusions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was really in the mood for a delicious sandwich and remembered I'd never tried Ike's. I was…read moresurprised by the place. I expected a cookie cutter franchise vibe but it really fit into the neighborhood, giving off the feel of a local dive bar, and I love it. Our waiter was the greatest. He walked us through the menu and the drinks and let us know they actually have thousands of sandwiches. The menu itself is probably 4 to 6 pages, but you can use their app to see all the additional options. I ordered the "Marshawn Lynch" (fried chicken, bacon, BBQ sauce, Sriracha, mustard, and cheddar cheese) and added red onions, peppers, and pickles. My wife ordered a sandwich straight from the app, the "Bad Santa" (chicken fried steak, rich marinara sauce, savory pesto, and provolone cheese). Both sandwiches were incredible. We also grabbed two cocktails that were only $5 each. I'm already looking forward to trying more of these sandwiches.
