Best poboy s and onion rings !! The breakfast is awesome too with friendly staff !!! Food is always on point !

Everyone on Grand Isle comes after church.
Steve S.

What a fun place! On Grand Isle this is clearly the place where the elite meet to greet and eat after Sunday church! I've been a few times and never had a bad meal. I've dined with groups and -- despite the challenges this imposes on the kitchen and waitstaff -- had great meals. I've dined alone and had great meals. Starfish seems to be able to do it all. Couple of tips: 1) Do *NOT* skip the onion rings. You'll thank me later. 2) They have an ATM inside, but they also will take a credit or debit card. This confused some of my group members. If it's not too hot, the picnic tables in front make a wonderful Al Fresco dining experience, too!

Chicken? Chick-ken?

Came to New Orleans on vacation and drove down here to go to the beach. That drive would've been worth it for this restaurant alone. gator po-boy was great, but the true beauty was the chicken. 24 mixed pieces for $33. Bring friends, bring an army. Fight the chicken. It took up half our table and even my vegetarian friend ate some.

Staying open till 9pm on weekday seems to be the mark of a place that wants your business, as many other restaurants on the island are closed. Glad they were open! Really enjoyed the food here. They were plenty busy and still made room for us. Fried seafood and burgers are the big draw here. They have a decent size menu as well. The portions are very generous. You get your money's worth here and shouldn't leave hungry.

Solid grub on Grand Isle. Great and tasty seafood platters and the onion strings are solid. Local hangout and well deserved popularity. Shrimp platter 4/5 Apps 3.5/5 Seafood platter 4/5

Popular local spot, ordered couple appetizers and the seafood platter with onion rings. The seafood platter (4/5) was better than the appetizers (3/5) and the onion ring (5/5) was great. Would suggest to call before heading over as the place may close earlier than the closing time Google/Yelp suggests.

Roast Beef Poboy

My only complaint is to be ready to wait if you come here. We sat down before 9:30 PM on a Friday and didn't get our food until after 11. It does state on the menu to be prepared to wait up to 45 minutes for your order so it's only fair. Small place with a lot of seating, pretty nice menu. Went ahead and got the roast beef poboy, it lacked gravy a bit, and meat a lot. Tomatoes were sliced like 2" thick and I had a ton of pickles (not complaining about that), fries didn't have any salt but that's no issue. The flavor of the roast beef and little bit of gravy was good, just didn't have much gravy or meat.

Love local eateries and this one is just that. I stopped because there sign said fresh never frozen hamburgers and I am a sucker for good hamburgers. So I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and potato salad. Also got some chili cheese fries because why not. The burger lived up to the fresh not frozen. It was cooked well and seasoned well. The potato salad was definitely homemade which I love. It was seasoned perfectly and was just delightful. The fries left a little to be desired. Pretty sure they were not fresh made in house but I just wouldn't order that again. Plenty other stuff looked yummy on the menu. If you want good food and small town vibe this place is what you want. Little pricey for the type of restaurant but would come back.

Seafood platter

We were visiting Grand Isle on a three day weekend. It was Sunday night and we weren't sure if anything would be opened. Luckily Starfish Restaurant is opened until 8pm on a Sunday night. We shared the seafood platter, it comes with a side (we chose fries) and to our surprise even a side salad. The side salad was a refreshing surprise before bringing out the fried seafood platter. The seafood platter included fish, oysters, shrimp, crab, and sliced toast.

Tamales- hubs loves them
Erica S.

Best burger I've ever had in my life! No lie! I'm a Whataburger purist. I can never go back. Drove out of our way TWICE! Not only are the people there the nicest EVER, but their food is amazing. Please help support Grand Isle after IDA. This place is worth it. You'll love it.

Turkey And The Wolf - Collard Green sandwich! Packed full of flavor, toasted perfectly.

Very good food. This is one of the best food spots in New Orleans. Make sure you try the Collard…read moreGreens Rueben.

YES it's worth checking out !…read more I found this spot on several lists of places to try while visiting the city. I love New Orleans for its food scene and wanted to try something new this time around. Finding this spot is easy! It stands out as the outside and inside is a quirky vibe and I love it ! The only issue I had was trying to figure out where it is safe to park. I ended up parking in the neighborhood after confirming with a resident that I was free to park anywhere! When I walked in there was only one patron ahead of me in the line! WINNING! The staff that took my order was friendly . He asked if I was dinning in or taking out, I advised I wanted to dine in if I could snag a table. The seating here is somewhat limited considering its popularity. However, just as I was finishing my order a table opened up. I ordered the collard green melt! That's what I decided I was trying before I even arrived. I have never thought to put collard greens in a grilled cheese but I don't shy away forming trying new things. My sandwich came out quick- maybe a five minute wait. You are responsible for grabbing all of your needed items from a section in the restaurant ( napkins, silverware, complimentary water). When I took the first bite I was happy! Best description would be savory and tangy. This is the description from the menu: "slow cooked collards, swiss cheese, pickled cherry pepper dressing, and cole slaw on toasted rye" I will say that the cold slaw was giving more of a sauerkraut taste , but whatever it was it worked! Turkey and The Wolf Did not disappoint. Add this one to your New Orleans list of spots to check out!
