    Couldn't wait to take the pic. Had to take a bite! 7/10!
    Tay W.

    Drago's, Morrow's, and NeYow's, are all good. But, for some quick and affordable viddles, head over to Triangle Deli. It's a local spot that is not going to show up on anyone's list of places to visit. It's a little hole in the wall gas station (not sure they actually sell gas) that offers up some tasty treats. Also- there is no place to eat inside. It's 100% take out. On my visit to NOLA, a local friend told me about Triangle and I was able to make it there before heading back home. The Uber driver that took us to Triangle was not feeling my selection and said he is a Morrow's kind of guy. The Uber driver that picked us up said he had never been because he stays away from the 7th Ward. As for me, I mind my business and seek out the hidden local gems even if they are off the beating path. IMHO, that is where the goodness really is. Can I just say we left out with a box of food. We had crawfish étouffée, stuffed peppers, shrimp&chicken po'boys, shrimp pasta, gooey lemon cake, Hubig's NOLA-style pies and a grape Big Shot! Don't judge. We were picking up for others as well. LOL! Everything was good. Seasoning is the key. They do it well at Triangle. I told one of the Aunties we were traveling back home and would be freezing the stuffed peppers. She wrapped them up real nice and tight for us and helped us cary our order to the register. When we first came in, she was giving serious mean auntie. By the time we left, she was all smiles and wishing us safe travels. I love my folks!!!! Shrimp Étouffée 7/10 Shrimp&Fish Po'Boy 7/10 (needed hard roll) Shrimp Pasta 7/10 Stuffed Peppers 8/10 Corn 8/10 Potato Salad (didn't try it) Everything else - taking home Everyone has a different palate/taste buds. But, don't rule a place out because of location. You may really miss out. Happy eating!

    Baked macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and potato salad

    Here I go again with these gas stations. Once again, a hit with the food. I stopped here for lunch and got a very messy rib plate, but it was one good mess. Every single item on my plate was delicious. I judged the baked macaroni wrongly. Since it looked like it didn't have enough cheese, I thought it would be dry. That was so not the case. It wasn't overly cheesy, but it was just enough cheese and seasoned just right. My ribs were juicy, potato salad was good, and sweet potato was chef's kiss. Now it's a bit pricier option, so if you prefer a more economical lunch, you may have to come here every now and then. The amount of food they pack on the plate, you will have lunch and dinner. It is absolutely worth every penny in both quality and quantity. Down home and local faves on the menu (hint: stuffed bell peppers). The ladies fixing the food are kicks, and they make you feel at home. Good customer service.

    Stuffed seafood bell pepper

    I decided to stop and triangle for lunch. They have a plethora of options. I set it on the seafood bell pepper special. It was two stuffed seafood bell peppers for $10. The service is pretty straightforward. You walking through the door Go straight to the back and a lovely ladies behind the counter will guide you through the menu if you are confused and take your order. The bell pepper is stuffed with meat and shrimp. One is definitely a meal by itself but two you got something to eat later on. It's a nice, good spot to check out for lunch if you're in the area

    Best gas station takeout food ever! When in New Orleans, be sure to stop by for the best selection of soul food, Cajun Creole style, and flavor. Walk around to the right of the cash register, and you will be impressed with the delicious array and selections. The prices are great and so are the serving size. Everything is absolutely delicious. Ladies, this is where handsome, polite, hungry, southern gentlemen go!

    Food was so good. Huge portions . Be prepared to stand in line , sides are good to try the red beans and rice

    Rubbery... totally not real "catfish"
    Cee T.

    Well, I heard so much about this place and it's "delicious" food. Ok, I picked up a plate for my hubby. (1) fish & side of Mac & cheese. The fish was cooked to order. It was MASSIVE!!! ((Threw up an eye brow for me)). The Mac & cheese looked delicious from the pan. I wanted to mainly try their cornbread, but was sold out. . Ok, so I get to my car and open the plate it smells delish. I did sneak a taste of the Mac & cheese. Nooooo! Bland and dry.... I was so disappointed. How do you mess up Mac & cheese!!!?? Ughhh. The fish was even MORE massive after frying it. I pinched some crumbs from the side.... Very flavorful, but extremely salty. I guess that's what people like from there, but seems very heart attack ish to me. Tooooo salty! . So my hubby ate around the fish anyways. It was very rubbery inside. This again proved that majority of so called foods we eat is totally fake / GMO crap! Anyhoo.... It didn't meet the bar what it was talked up to be. So yeah... there ya go! Nothing to scroll into on 2 wheels for sure. This was just not a good "soul food" or good "home cooking" food at all. Butttt.... Carry on for those who like it though.

    Received burned food and they hung up in my face when I called about it. They also charged us $52 for four small plates that are advertised at ($6.99 each) and a shrimp on bun advertised at ($6.99). The shrimp is salty and it tastes like it's only seasoned with salt. The macaroni are overcooked and barely have cheese in them.

    This place is always PACKED... be patient.

    Everyone LISTEN!!! Do not waste your time looking for a chain restaurant that serves mediocre food... this is where the locals go so you know it has to good in the hood. Triangle Deli is the Gem of Metairie LA... the service here is AMAZING. The food is unmatched and everything I get here is simply delicious. I recommend trying a little bit of EVERYTHING. The Triangle Deli has made my Platinum List of must tries when in The Crescent City. Trust me you won't be disappointed... So let it be written... So let it be EATEN!!

    16" of PoBoy on a normal sized plate.
    Ted S.

    Got this recommendation from a local and decided to give it a try. It's a deli counter in a gas station and it is amazing! The offerings were simply home-cooked goodness and looked just like Momma used to make. BarBQ chicken and ribs, fried chicken, and an amazing looking meatloaf. Home recipe sides, including Mac and Cheese, mashed taters, and fresh veggies. Despite all that goodness going on, we had to test drive the 'Overstuffed Shrimp and Oyster PoBoys". They come in 8", 16", and 32" sandwiches. I'm a big eater and there aren't many sandwiches that I can't finish, but this one beat me. Perfectly fried oysters on an 8" side and delicious fried shrimp on the other 8". Whether you're a local or a tourist who is looking for a quality meal that a local would buy...this is the place to visit. Friendly service, decent throughput for a relatively busy counter, and simply killer food. Definitely on the list for a revisit.

It was Taco Tuesday and a pop up night by the chef so we did not have the usual dinner menu. At first I was disappointed because I was not necessarily in the mood for Mexican and I had already decided on something from the menu online. We chose shrimp tacos and the brisket melt and decided to split them. We had our child with us so the option for her would be a cheese quesadilla. The food took a bit to come out - close to 40-45 minutes. When the food arrived our child had a veggie quesadilla instead of cheese. We could not wait the same amount of time for the correct order so we said we would feed her later. However the chef made one immediately. I appreciated the care they took with making the correction for us. Our food was fantastic! The tacos had a lot of shrimp and were so flavorful. The shrimp were also smaller so it made it easier to eat while ensuring shrimp in all the bites. I can't stand huge shrimp that fall out resulting in eating tortilla and garnish for the majority of bites. The brisket melt was so so good. My daughter (who can be limited in food repertoire) tried it and loved it. She then decided this was the best restaurant of our trip after those few bites. The ambiance is so cozy and warm. I loved the vibe and decor - almost like being in your Southern aunt's dining room. We will definitely plan to return when we head back to New Orleans to try the original menu or even another pop up if they have one.
