Haven't been to the RENDON INN in years. It's a terrific alternative to the unbearable line of tourists at the Parkway. What a pleasant surprise. A+ score for OVERSIZED dressed shrimp po-boy and po-boy style club sandwich. Recommend the smaller size unless you're REALLY HUNGRY. Prices are reasonable. Got the feeling the place is largely supported by nearby neighborhood locals. Will go again. read more

the service was so slow....the steak was fine but it took forever to get a beer...the bartender was never in a hurry....

Great place to watch a game! It's a neighborhood bar, so if you are trying to watch a sporting event without the crowd but with good food, this is the place! The also have a pool table. I noticed a back patio area that looks like it could be plenty of space for a large group. It's all street parking, so it can sometimes be hard to get a spot. As for the food, it's what you expect of bar. The onion rings were good, but I would have preferred them to be a bit crispier. The wrap was actually very good and actually well stuffed with chicken, lettuce, and tomatoes. I also added jalapeños for a little kick. read more

Rendon Inn - Chicken wrap with Onion Rings - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Such a great little tucked away bar, and I have nothing but great things to say all the way around. I love that this bar is the only business in that block, so parking is always simple. Their drinks are inexpensive, and the bartenders are super friendly and helpful (s/o to my name twin Kelly!). The food is really, really tasty bar food and the portions are big...I've been impressed! (Definitely make sure to get the onion rings!) This bar is great for going solo, meeting up with friends, or catching a game. Just an all around chill, good-time bar! read more

Rendon Inn - Buffalo Chicken Wrap - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great local tavern with excellent food and appetizers. We flew in late and luckily they serve food late! We ordered a bunch of appetizers and a Shrimp Po Boy sandwich as the lady bartender said "everything here is good" and she was right! The cheese curds were crunchy and cheesy goodness dipped in a delicious marinara sauce. Sweet potato fries were yum and the shrimp po boy was so huge, we split it 3 ways - crunchy seasoned shrimp on a fresh hoagie roll - yummy! Ambiance is your typical local bar with TV screens over the bar and many around/playing loud sports, but the lady bartending turned down the volume at our request, we can now converse and hear ourselves! A pool table in the back, what a great place!! read more

Rendon Inn - Best $12 steak ever - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Ummm I don't even know where to begin If you have 3 hours for a crappy lunch then definitely go here now!! The lunch special is the only thing to get that was edible The staff is horrible and so so slow Good luck to whoever tries to go here on their lunch break you will not make it back in time and don't even think about complaining The new "manager" doesn't care read more

**This is a duplicate review because apparently this place has two Yelp pages (the other one is listed under the business name 'The Dugout Sports Bar & Grill')** Been here a couple times at this point. Let me say it's a great bar with lots of space, a cool outdoor patio which I think every bar should be equipped with. The main bar has lots of seating wrapped around and there's plenty of games to keep you entertained. From pool, darts, ping pong, even slots for trying your luck. Drink prices are okay, not the most competitive like at Finn's or the uncomparable, Ms. Maes, but you won't exactly break the bank having a night out here either. There's always a good crowd in here and everyone seems to really like the place. So why the two-star? Well, me and my girl came in on Wednesday for steak night, which was great, we love steaks. Everything with the food was fine, no issue there, we ordered a few drinks, mostly on her tab because I covered dinner and our first round of drinks. I almost always tip in cash whenever I use my card to pay at bars, which was the case that night. So, two steak dinners, one Jameson on the rocks and a 'Not Your Father's Root Beer' went on my tab, totalling $39.00, cool. I left $9 dollars as that was the only cash I had on me, I also thought it was a decent amount for two easy drinks (one in a can) and the food on my tab. Well I guess someone didn't share the same sentiment in thinking I left enough because when I checked my card statement a few days later, the payment posted for a total of $43.00. I thought about weather or not I should let it slide, but I don't like people phucking around with my money, I don't care how much it is. I implore anyone who has used a card here to closely review your statement as these little increments could add up if done to a lot of people. I had to dig my receipt out of the trash to make sure I wasn't tripping (see picture below). IF I come back, it will be cash only. read more

Service was great as usual . Food was awesome and it's cleaner than it's ever been . The look of the place is really getting good .

Stopped in for a drink and lunch. Food was great, it as a Monday so we got the red beans & rice, absolutely loved it. Service was great, bartender very friendly and attentive. Nice mellow vibe overall read more

This was a roast beef poboy. The onion rings that were cooked in days old grease actually contained a fragment of a French fry that almost broke a tooth. Eat Taco Bell, it's cheaper, you will enjoy it more, and the cramps will be the same at the end of the day!. read more

Rendon Inn - This is a roast beef poboy! The meat had no gravy and was cold. The onion rings were cooked in super old grease. - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've ordered from Rendon Inn twice via Uber Eats with mixed results. 1st - chicken caesar wrap (good, but too greasy for a wrap), bacon cheeseburger (okay), blue fries (delicious). Their default side - loaded potato salad - was great. Portions/toppings were generous. 2nd - grilled chicken sandwich, lettuce wedge, blue fries. Ended up feeling ripped off. Got the wrong side on the sandwich and no dressing. Very few fries, given the price, and the bacon bits were undercooked. They also forgot the dipping sauce, which made the fries difficult to eat (fries with crumbled topping but nothing to hold it together). I haven't tried the wedge salad yet, as when I order takeout I generally order enough to eat for a few meals. All in all, definitely not worth the ~$50 I paid for all 3 items (+ tip). read more

Kickass soundtrack and the fried mushrooms are delicious - as I work on my second batch. Our bartender George was so friendly, I would definitely come back read more

There's a reason New Orleans is the greatest city in the universe. Getting a steak of this quality, at 10 pm New Years day is just solid as it gets. And I the home style mashed potatoes were on point Tons of TVs to watch your game of choice, and a pool tables to boot. Retro hip hop playing, and phenomenal service. I'll be back read more

Tried em twice, won't get burned again. First time food took forever, got it home and it was still raw inside my fried chicken. Second time they were in the kitchen bullshitting while we waited 20 minutes at the bar and never got approached. Pass on this spot. read more

The bar waitress was the worst I've ever had. She seem to just ignore me sitting at end of bar. Never asked me if I wanted anything until the guys I was with told her that I needed to order some food. I sat there and she never asked if I wanted anything else and couldn't even get her attention to ask because she was so focused on a group at other end of bar. Worst customer service . Thank God I never have to return there again. Only thing I can say good about my experience there was the wings I ordered read more

Curious. I hadn't been inside Rendon Inn in over a decade and it's so fancy now! I was really pleasantly surprised. Guess I'll have to make it over more often especially since it's pretty close to my house. I'm gonna give them a pass on service last night. The entire Rising Tide crowd went for their after party. And I don't think the bar understood what that meant. There was only one bartender working and only one person in the kitchen. Both were pretty overwhelmed. But they also were working their butts off to get everyone their drinks and food. read more

Y'all need to know that Adam Lee of Lee's Specialty meats has taken over the kitchen at Rendon Inn and everything that man cooks is magic!!!

Portions are huge, prices are right, and the taste is unbelievably delicious! read more

Don't go here for Saints games. These people don't know how to run a kitchen. Waited the whole fourth quarter for chips and salsa and still never got it. Then, I asked to cancel the order as the game was finishing and they told me they would NOT cancel my food order. Bartenders told me it wasn't their fault and that I had to pay. Told them I wasn't going to tip and they flipped out on me. Completely unprofessional and rude. I never leave reviews (because that s$&@ is petty) but seriously avoid this place. read more

Went there for their steak special and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly, tender, and tasty. Served with mash potatoes and green beans. I'd recommend it. The only reason I only gave it 4 stars was you had to order at the bar and the bar tender was overwhelmed with serving drinks and attempting to take and deliver orders. read more

Ho-lee shit! the food in the kitchen is some of the best bar food you'll find in Nola. Andy in the kitchen is a magician, the jambalaya is so good and meaty, and don't mention the gumbo. The crazy part is I've never even had the gumbo, andy was eating it right next to me and i couldn't resist the smell. I know for sure if you come here you won't be disappointed. read more

Great place to watch a Saints games with a drink and bite to eat! The chicken sandwich is honestly so addicting and I make a trip here specially for it!

This was close to our place we were staying at for a week.Came in on a Wednesday night. One of the nicer local bars we have been in . Clean and a nice juke box . They serve food but we just had a couple of beers.A hour outside of closing though the bartender seemed like she was ready to go home early and seemed a little annoyed that we asked for another beer. read more

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY...... Horrible service from the bartender . my first time coming there and I did not feel welcomed or anything . she kept ignoring my friends and I when we wanted drinks made, when she do come over its a nasty attitude, and on top of that she didn't even make the drinks right. i only got a total of 2 drinks made, and about 8:45 pm she tells me and my friends she not making more mixed drinks for the night. like, WTF? what bar stop serving drinks at 8:45 pm in New Orleans. so while we sat there to finish off our drinks, she talking loud to another man about how she hates working there, she don't care about anything there. so one of my boys decided he want to take a shot, ok cool. never in my days have I heard this ( for just 2 shots , she charged me $17 dollars. 1 shot of Hennessy and 1shot of fireball)... So she have to be stealing also. because Amit no way just 2 shot come up to $17. never again will I go there to spend my money. Bartender was horrible with a bad attitude. read more

They have done some very nice renovations to this bar and it has started to draw an interesting mix of people. The location is unique without a lot of other stuff around it other than houses. The inside is mostly taken up by a huge bar and then they have a nice patio. J'Anitas has been doing the food here since they moved out of Avenue Pub and they have some good food for your dining pleasure (with some fantastic burgers). The main downside I've experienced is that it can get very smokey even when it isn't all that crowded. I've only been here a few times so far since they reopened and I've always had fantastic service and interesting conversations with a wide range of people. This bar looks like it has a great future ahead of it and they have been hosting live music. This is an area that doesn't have a lot of other venues so it should be interesting to see how it develops. read more

Just found this place today. Couldn't be more pleasantly surprised. They've got every bar game (pool, ping pong, darts, shuffle board, corn hole, and more). Awesome beer selection, too! They've got a handful of quality drafts and several coolers of great cans and bottles. Liquor shelf doesn't look too bad either ;) Also: Large comfortable bar, full kitchen, patio, tvs, clean restrooms. What more can you ask for? Will definitely be coming back. read more

Came here Sunday for brunch with a friend. Unlimited mimosas for $15.00. great deal and they were pouring the whole time. i got the cochon grit bowl. Delicious meat a little salty for my tasting, but still very flavorful and I'd order it again. My friend got the crawfish benedict. She enjoyed hers as well. The prices were great the staff was amazing. We will return! Go check it out! read more

The Rendon Inn has a new owner, who has really upgraded the interior, the menu and the overall management. It's a terrific spot to meet friends, watch sports, or play games of pool and shuffleboard. The video poker is gone. There is a good selection of bottled beers and usually 6 or so local beers on draft. The bartenders do basic cocktails - this is a neighborhood bar and not one of the new trendy "craft" cocktail spots. I've tried several of the new menu items - the Rendon burger, fries, pulled pork nachos, and quesadilla. My friend loves the wings. It's all freshly made and has adequate portions. I plan to work my way through more of it soon! They also now open at 11 am and serve daily hot lunches. Closing time may vary depending on the crowd. The bartender can exercise judgment. I live in the neighborhood and LOVE the refreshed Rendon Inn. It's my favorite place to watch the Saints. read more

11:45, just go back from Rendon CLOSED! Young girl showed up when we were about to find another lunch spot (cook was also inside), asked her if we could sit inside till she got set up, (maybe 20 mins.?) She said NO and explained it could take as long as an hour and a half to get set! What the hell is she doing REMODELING? Damn shame really been going there for 40 years gets worse with every owner! Good Luck to the new guy your going to need it! read more

I was hoping to hang out and watch the Saints game here today, but the second we walked in the door we were so overwhelmed by the cigarette smoke that we knew it was a bad idea. It is sad too because I was looking forward to trying some food and the beer selection looked promising. One day we will return and hopefully get to try some yummy stuff before the chain smokers get there. read more

I'd never heard of the Rendon Inn until J'Anitas picked up and moved to the kitchen here. I'm a big fan of J'Anitas (updated review coming soon), so I was eager to visit their new spot. Turns out the new spot, the Rendon Inn, stands alone as a great establishment. The bar sits in a strange spot on the edge of Broadmoor down a street that you're unlikely to end up on unless you're looking for Rendon Inn. The outside is unremarkable. Walking inside, however, is a nice treat. The bar is decked out with ornate wood and looks like it was made to last 100 years. There are mostly tall bar tables, but there's also a sofa area off to one side. Its a simple look and its exceedingly clean and well kept up. The beer selection is pretty outstanding for a small place. They had Bear Republic's Racer 5 on tap the last time I was there. Local brews are also well represented. The crowd that Rendon Inn draws is a bit odd and not what I was expecting. It seems to be an older, professional set of folks. Some nights young folks are better represented, but not usually. In no way does this dissuade me from coming here, but you should be aware. When the weather is nice, live bands set up in the outdoor patio/courtyard area. Its a nice separation for those who don't want to be blasted with loud music. When rain is forecasted, the music moves inside and it gets oppressively loud. It was so loud that we left to find a quieter bar. The best part about the bar is undoubtedly the bartenders they've hired. Each one I've dealt with has been hilarious, engaging, and exceedingly easy going. During a slow lunch hour, I convinced a bartender to let me operate the soda gun and dispense my own Diet Coke. She invited me behind the bar and it was every bit as fun as I imagined it would have been. And with that I've become a customer for life. read more

Awesome dive bar withe plenty of cheap drinks and pretty good bar food. No, they don't have J'Anitas anymore, but they have everything from burgers to po-boys to wraps, with all kinds of (usually fried) sides. They had about 8 beers on tap, including $2 PBRs and the new NOLA Muses brew. They also had the 40 Arpent milk stout that everyone is raving about, but like every other establishment it had just run out :( There is also plenty for entertainment, such as darts, shuffle board, etc. On Friday there was karaoke with an welcoming mix of talent ranging from "wow, you could have a local band" to "someone tell the cats outside to stop breeding". The bartenders and other patrons all seemed very warm and friendly, a definite plus. read more

Yes, that Rendon Inn. When I told my neighbor that was where I was going for the Superbowl (who dat!) she just laughed. But hey, it's been redone, the bathrooms are super clean and everything is tiled in a tract home kinda way. There's a patio outside and for the games a DJ plays Saints songs at points and successful plays and during commercials, and I think it's the same DJ who's there on Fridays. Good normal prices ($3-4 for beer and well drinks), standard fried foods, and a locals party at night. I've made new actual friends there so come out! read more

You couldn't want more in a neighborhood bar! Friendly service, decent wine selection, covered outdoor seating. If you get hungry, the kitchen serves up a varied menu - an upgrade from regular bar food. The hamburger and fries are delicious, of course. I think the place is dog friendly. Check out their adjacent event space. read more

Such a great improvement over what it was in the past. Good beer selection and great broccoli bites, though service can be slow.

Awesome service and awesome good! Food is delicious and the people here are awesome. The bartenders bring in good vibes and I can tell because the people I have met so far are very nice and fun to have conversations with. Will be in frequently and if ya pop in say Hi! And eat!!! read more
