Fried Dill pickles
Robbin W.

Check out our waitress, Celina! Food was great and service was superb! Quaint relaxing atmosphere!

Fried Crab Cakes

Ordered crawfish baker and fried crab cakes for lunch. They looked completely different from my previous experiences. The sauce for both dishes were darker, broken/grainy, and had a very strong cheesy smell. Like Parmesan. I'm not sure what went wrong. I tried to eat them but couldn't finish. I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad stomach ache as well. I won't be returning. The portions seemed very small compared to what they normally are.

Excellent service and food was awesome like the location . Prices were what I would expect for food served

Five Stars. No notes. No regrets. Elastic waistband optional. From the moment you walk into StingRays, you don't feel like a customer -- you feel like you accidentally wandered into a place where people actually want you there. That's rare. That's sacred. That's New Orleans doing what New Orleans does best. Now let's talk about the menu. Not a menu. The menu. This thing has options for its options. You don't read it -- you negotiate with it. You make eye contact. You ask it questions about your life choices. So naturally, I start with a cup of gumbo. Listen... I've eaten gumbo all over New Orleans. I've had "legendary" gumbo. I've had "my grandma would slap you if you didn't like this" gumbo. This? By far the best gumbo in New Orleans. Balanced. Rich. Deep. The kind of gumbo that makes you pause mid-spoon and reassess past relationships. Then the chargrilled oysters showed up and New Orleans... we need to talk. This was hands-down the least messy, most flavorful, most dialed-in oyster experience I've had in the city. Sure, there are places that have put their stamp on being "the best in NOLA." Guess what, NOLA -- you've got competition. And I'm not talking "oh look, a new place opened, hope they make it." I'm talking about a business that's been around since 1997, survived a tech bubble, a hurricane (or three), a pandemic, inflation -- and is still turning out food and service like this. That's not luck. That's standards. Petty side note (but important): They serve Coca-Cola products. Not that over-sugared flat soda nonsense. Details matter. Now comes the main event: Zydeco Fish. Let me say this slowly so it sinks in properly: A fresh fillet of fish, butterflied, stuffed with crab meat dressing, deep fried (because joy), topped with a spicy shrimp cream sauce that could probably solve international conflicts. This dish doesn't just show up -- it arrives. Confident. Well-dressed. Knows it's good. Add a side of potato salad, which quietly steals the show like, "Oh, you thought I was just a side? That's adorable." Still got room? Try the key lime pie if you're a fan. And yes, I'm over-opinionated, so here's my take: Call your Aunt Regina. Tell her she can retire her recipe. Save her the stress of the next family reunion. Then go to StingRays, eat the pie, shake your head in disbelief that you ever considered eating elsewhere, and apologize to your friends and family for not bringing them sooner. Jamie was my server -- sweet like iced tea, patient with all my questions, and didn't oversell a thing. Just a calm, confident, "This is what we do." And they do it well. And here's the real kicker -- location. Right by the airport. Which means: * You don't have to gamble your flight time * You don't have to explain to your Uber driver why food matters more than punctuality * You can land, eat like royalty, and still make your gate without panic-sweating StingRays is comfort food without shortcuts, hospitality without fake smiles, and flavor without apology. If you're flying into or out of New Orleans and you skip this place, that's on you. Don't blame the city. Don't blame the plane. Blame your poor decision-making. Five stars all the way. I'd eat here again before my luggage even hits the carousel.

Let me state this straight up: A three star review in New Orleans, or the metropolitan area, is not a bad thing. Being a New Orleans native, I'm a tad bit harder on food around here because the culinary standards are set high in the land of Creole cuisine. The staff here is really friendly. You will not have a bad customer service experience. The food is decently priced and the portion sizes are decent as well. The reason for the 3 star review...well, you do not get that taste and flavor explosion you expect when eating food in New Orleans. The crab meat jalapeños were really well done, so no complaints there. The seafood platter left a lot to be desired. It was fried well, but as aforementioned, no flavor explosion. The mac and cheese was meh. Would I come back here? Possibly because the food isn't bad...it just isn't amazing. The banana foster cheesecake does have me wanting to try it...we will see what the future holds.

Crabby bloody Mary
Tanesha J.

I had to stop by and try their infamous Crabby bloody Mary but it was so cute, I almost didn't want to disturb it. Lol I had read some reviews prior to going which almost deterred me from stopping by, but I'm glad that I did. Upon entering, the staff was very welcoming & friendly, and I was able to get seating immediately as the restaurant wasn't crowded. I came on a Sunday afternoon so I'm not sure what the crowd is like any other day, especially the weekend. I'm glad that it wasn't crowded because it had just started to poor down rain, and all I wanted to do was get out of it. They also have a nice patio with outside seating. I ordered the fried shrimp & fish platter which comes with 2 sides and hush puppies. I got onion rings & Mac & cheese for my sides which were ok, but the food tasted like something you would get out of a diner. The hush puppies were really good, and I enjoyed the shrimp, but there was nothing spectacular about the meal. The highlight of my dining experience was the Crabby Mary, and it was tasty too. The soft shell crab on it was delicious. Glad I was able to stop by during my trip.

We waited 2 1/2 hours for our food, only to have several entrées arrive lukewarm. The explanation? There were "a couple of large parties." I paid a $375 deposit for my own large party, so the restaurant knew in advance how many guests to expect. Planning adequate staffing and service should not have been a surprise. The wait was so bad that I asked for my birthday cake to be brought out before dinner just so my guests could have something to eat. Imagine inviting people to celebrate your birthday and having to serve cake because the restaurant still hasn't served their meals. To make matters worse, I received my food last, and the waitress forgot to put in my side order. After all that waiting, our food wasn't even hot. Our bill was over $1,000. At that price, timely service, complete orders, and hot food are basic expectations. Tana failed on all three. A birthday dinner is an occasion you cannot redo. I left disappointed and embarrassed that my guests had spent their evening waiting and hungry. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Tana for a special occasion or a large-party reservation.

From the moment we sat down, the decor and atmosphere felt like a genuine neighborhood Italian restaurant, not a chain trying to imitate one. Our server Austin made the night. When I asked how the Chicken Marsala was, he told me the sauce was thick and perfectly balanced. He was right. The dish, boneless chicken breast sauteed in a mushroom marsala sauce with bordelaise, came with pasta in oil and garlic and a side Caesar salad, and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend ordered the Herb Crusted Salmon, topped with jumbo lump crabmeat and champagne beurre blanc, served with garlic braised spinach and a side Caesar salad. She loved every bite. We started with a fried zucchini appetizer, served with red sauce on the side, cooked perfectly and gone before we knew it. We closed the night with the chocolate mousse cake with ice cream and a decaf espresso, the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Vincent's is officially our new favorite Italian restaurant. The service, quality, and decor are everything an authentic Italian restaurant should be

It's a very nice-sized portion for multiple people or for a light meal alone.
