    Reviews looked good so decided to stop and give this bunch a chance. The service was absolutely amazing but the bread for the po boys was dry and crunchy as a saltine cracker. It's just a dirty little store but regretfully not be returning.

    When Tuesday after the surgery is nearby hospital got Hot Sausage and shrimp Poboy to share with my wife. I don't know what happened, but the shrimp was dried out one layer in the Hot Sausage, which was the best for the last 40 years was so bad after two bites. I threw it away. Coworker told me that they recently sold in his shows. This was 11 o'clock and there was nobody there. not one person, which is the first time I've ever seen that at this restaurant.

    Amazing roast beef po-boy. The bread was super crispy! We added a side of brown gravy to dip in.....oh my gosh....

    Most current pricing. May'25

    It seems this place has been there forever... Very nice place if you're looking for a quick cold/hot sandwich and/or hot plate lunch. Always packed with fast and friendly service!

    Let me tell you something guys eat out a lot and when you're in New Orleans, you're looking for lunch you want something absolutely delicious. It's not gonna cost you a fortune. There is no other place that can touch the red barn. Incredible pole, roast beef meatloaf everything they make absolutely fresh and delicious, including the crispy Leidenheimer bread, obviously it's my favorite place to eat in the city. It's way past the UEP Long bridge on Jeff Highway but it's definitely worth the trip. Oh by the way cash only enjoy enjoy.

    Delicious shrimp . Great batter and flavor.

    How long has this place been here. My God! It is heaven! We ventured out here for lunch on day. We walked into the restaurant which is part grocery store with bulk items like sams club sized mayonnaise which is also heavenly. Their menu consists of breakfast food and new orleans seafood. I opted for the shrimp plate that comes with a salad and a side. We also got a large order of cheese fries. The hubby got the large fried Fish poboy. There is small and large. This is the part where you may want to READ the actual size of this baby. While the hubby went to pay, I sat down at a table for us. I happened to sit near an adorable little old lady and she giggled as she saw the expression on my face when the hubby's poboy - which was the size of a submarine - was being delivered to my table. The little old lady said, first time here? I laughed with her and told her I was gonna get a pic of his face when he turns to see the size of the thing. And I did. And we both laughed again. The hubby was pleased with his food, he had left overs. The fries was also an enormous portion and had left overs. I enjoyed the flavors of the fried shrimp. Very good. The salad was not a salad though, it's just lettuce on the plate. This place is in a great area with lots of food options nearby. I really loved this establishment and the funny memory that was made. We will for sure be back. And yes, we are gonna order the large again!

    There is no better bang for your buck than Red Wagon. It unfortunately closes early for late dinner people, but it is worth going out of your way to get food from here! I order large and I can make it into two additional meals. Vintage feel inside.

    One of Our All-Time Favorites!…read more Boulevard is one of my husband and my all-time favorite restaurants, and they consistently deliver every time we visit. We frequent both the Elmwood and Metairie locations, but the Elmwood location is our go-to since it's closest to home. On this visit, I started with the Boulevard Oysters--crispy fried oysters served over creamy spinach with an aioli sauce. They were delicious! I also had the chicken tortilla soup, and I absolutely freaking LOVE this soup! It's one of my favorites on the menu. For my entrée, I had the blackened fish with coleslaw, and of course, I had my usual lemon drop martini. That lemon drop is the BOMB! I order it every time, and it never disappoints. What I love most about Boulevard is the consistency. The food comes out quickly, the cocktails are always good, and the staff is always attentive--even when sitting at the bar, which is one of my favorite places to sit here. The restaurant is always clean, the bathrooms are clean, and you're greeted when you walk through the door. We've been here many times, and Boulevard hardly ever disappoints. Five stars, without a doubt! There's something for everyone on the menu, and honestly, you really can't go wrong with whatever you order. Boulevard will continue to be one of our go-to restaurants!

    We had lunch there today. I have seen cleaner bathrooms in highway gas stations and truck stops…read more Absolutely disgusting!!!

I got the fried shrimp and oyster basket. I kid you not - the juiciest most flavorful fried shrimp I have ever had! My pictures don't do it justice!! Great variety of local beers, other cool items on the menu. Ambiance was cool, you could tell it had been here while. If you're in the area be sure to drop in. I toured in for the pic and they said it was too long: While it looks plain, they are the best fried shrimp I have ever had. Juicy, seasoned just right, and both the shrimp and oyster came out hot!!! While I don't get a lot of quality oysters in central Kentucky, I can't be considered an expert.... They were spot on also!! Check it out and enjoy!!!

    The Rivershack Tavern is well-named! It is located on River Road in a historic building that has a…read moregreat deal of character. This building might be considered by some a shack, and it certainly is a bar. However, it also serves up some amazing food. It's historic inside as well as outside, having classic signs, posters, and other New Orleans memorabilia displayed on virtually every surface, including the ceilings. Also noteworthy are their barstools, which have amusing legs attached. The interior is rather dark, even in the middle of the day, but don't let this deter you. Your eyes will quickly adjust. This might be an advantage if your visit is to engage in day-drinking! However, if your visit is to eat, first look for the board displaying the Daily Special. These are a great choice and may include things not normally on the menu. Variety is the spice of life and all... However, the menu is adequate for most any purpose. There are a great variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, plates, and appetizers! I like that the sandwiches can be customized with sides. One can swap out regular fries for sweet potato fries, or there are really great and crispy tater tots! One can even opt for a bowl of gumbo or soup! Some of these changes involve a slight up-charge, but are worth it. Speaking of the soups and gumbos, these are really great choices. I happened to be there when French Onion Soup was part of the daily special, and it was amazing! Had a great big toasty chuck of bread with cheese on top, and the soup was rich and delicious. Their gumbo is a substantial choice, with great and deep flavors. I also recommend their BLT, which pairs well with a bowl of soup. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful and the prices are fair. This place is an experience that one should have while in the area. It's definitely a place you'll want to return to!

    I went on a mission today to find a great local breakfast spot, and this was exactly what I was…read morelooking for! It only took me three stops to find it. I was greeted and seated immediately. The staff was extremely knowledgeable--not only about the menu, but also about the history of Louisiana. It was such a delight! I ordered the full Irish plate, and the food was freshly made, came out quickly, and was prepared just the way I asked. The pricing was very reasonable, too (no French Quarter prices, but close to the French Quarters). The staff was always attentive, and I loved seeing how they worked together and helped each other, whether it was with the tables or the daily chores. That really stood out to me. Whenever I'm in the area, I will definitely return. It is a bit cooler than expected, so bring a jacket! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, if not more!

It is a large space with a long bar as you walk in. When I went, the host/tess was located all the way inside the restaurant, so you walk the length of the restaurant to be greeted and seated by the host. I made my way down to her and she seated me right away. I asked for a water and an Irish coffee. She was not sure they had the glassware for an Irish coffee, but she checked with the bartender. And he was able to conjure up something as I was the first person to ask for one. I was a little surprised by that since they offer Irish breakfasts, but either way, I was very appreciative of his going above and beyond for me to make it work. He even asked which whiskey I wanted and had to search for some brown sugar for me. Very accommodating. The Irish breakfast came out and it was so good. The chef came out to speak with me too, I let him know I loved everything but the beans. He mentioned he was trying it out, as it is authentic, but knows it could be tweaked. I did love the marmalade, homemade marmalade on the dish, so good! I enjoyed the sausage - bangers and pudding - as well. So authentic and good! I felt like I was back in Ireland. Just needed some sheep to bahhh by. I do wish the hostess/waitress would have checked in on me more, my water was never refilled and I needed napkins as I had sticky fingers from that amazing marmalade jam. I plan to come back and bring some friends or out of friends, as I miss my Peppermill and this restaurant, I find, is a pretty good replacement - with Irish coffees and all. And proceeds go towards charity. How great is that! I hope they made the Irish coffee a permanent option on the menu before I come back!
