YES it's worth checking out ! 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!

Turkey and the Wolf restaurant review
Micah E.

Who grew up eating chips on their sandwich? I know I did. Turkey and the Wolf is one of New Orleans' most memorable sandwich shops that does just that. Located in the Lower Garden District, it turns familiar ingredients into wildly creative, generously portioned sandwiches like the famous collard green melt and fried bologna sandwich. The food is messy in the best way, while the colorful, irreverent dining room matches the restaurant's personality. There is always a long line so get there early. Food comes out fast but don't let that fool you because the taste is amazing. If on vaca or a local LA native this is a must for a great lunch.

Never thought I'd be obsessed with a wedge salad but here I am craving it. Super packed with flavor, smothered in dressing. The fries were nice and crispy. My friend's chicken pot pie was like a meat pie and she employed it. The collard greens sandwich was unconventional but very delicious. I wish I ordered the burger. Next time! It is counter service so you grab everything yourself. One star deducted for the gratuity already included and their sign stating it tucked away in the corner so you can't see - I guess I doubled tipped. Oh well! Funky decor and the vintage McDonald's plates were a nice touch.

Small Wedge Salad

Turkey and the Wolf was out-of-this-world good! My husband and I both ordered the fried bologna sandwich, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Seriously amazing. We also got the small wedge salad, and the dressing and bacon were completely drool-worthy. Everything we had was so flavorful and memorable. I just wish we had a Turkey and the Wolf in Arkansas! So, so good...we will absolutely be back!

Great spot. Happened to hit it when not busy. Very eclectic inside but cozy. Great sandwich, fast and helpful service. Would eat again.

Collard green Melt
Aliyah S.

Another place I found because of social media and so glad I did. This place was so cool and fun aesthetically followed by such a creative sandwich. Like who would make a collard green melt sandwich?!?! lol delicious. The staff was super friendly and just cool people to talk to. I look forward to coming back to try the bologna sandwich!

Turkey and the Wolf came highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! We arrived around 11:45am on Friday afternoon and there was no wait. However, I know wait times can be out the door so plan accordingly. We were dropped off by Uber, but in terms of parking, it's mainly street parking. Overall, the shop is pretty small. They have a handful of tables outside and more seating inside but it's not huge -- hence the longer lines. It's also quite eclectic with serving on plastic McDonald's plates and the music that was playing. We ordered: The ham sandwich, wedge salad, and a delicious pickle cocktail The ham sandwich had excellent flavor! I wish it had a but more ham on it, but overall the flavor was 10/10! The wedge salad had too much salad dressing. I LOVE blue cheese and blue cheese salad dressing but the lettuce to dressing ratio was off. Could have used less as I felt so much went to waste. The thick cut bacon on the salad was the exact salty touch it needed and the fresh dill was such a fresh touch. The pickle cocktail was delicious! I wish I would have ordered another one! It was slightly sweet, but also salty... SO good! Overall, I would highly recommend Turkey and the Wolf and totally stop by again if I were visiting New Orleans in the future.

Fried Bologna
Christine D.

Not sure how to fully describe this sandwich shop but... It's a bit eclectic, a bit quirky, and a bit chaotic but it works. Ordered: - Collard Green Melt - I was unsure about this one at first but honestly the flavors work really well together. - Fried Bologna - this one was also very yummy. I think if i reordered I would probably do not mustard (but that's just a personal preference since I don't like mustard). This sandwich had a lot of height to it, my TMJ was not happy but it was good. - Crinkle Cut Fries Both of the sandwiches were good but they're quite rich. I wouldn't be able to finish one by myself I got a little flavor fatigue by the end. Having a hard time picking between the two sandwich which one I prefer more so I would just get both and split it with others. Wait Time: Arrived around 1PM on a rainy Saturday, line was out the door. It was about a 30 minute wait until we ordered and got seated. Restaurant had slight nostalgia vibes to me, it almost felt like the sandwiches were something someone made after school with leftover ingredients and it works.

Fries
Timothy P.

It is always a pleasure to eat and dine here and famous Turkey wolf me and my wife both had the burger we realize they give plenty of fries so if you're just there with a friend, you can share an order of fries. You can get a single on the burger, if you think two patties is a lot if you're really hungry stay with 2 patties that is the standard order. If you never been, the bologna sandwich is World classic it'll change your bologna belief.

Salad

A must for lunch when in NOLA!!!! Recommended by Derek from Aiden Gill Barber shop just around the corner. Great people ( even if one was wearing a Yankees hat ) great food, great look and feel. I can't say enough positive about this place. Locals mob this place people!! It's the public subsidy food we grew up on elevated by Chefs

The greatest fried bologna sandwich I have ever had! Interesting restaurant and decor. The fries are great too!

Clark C.

The collard green melt sandwich lived up to the hype. Perfectly toasted and roasted. Just the right about of cheese, slaw and collard greens. Super flavorful without being excessively messy. The cabbage salad was too much of everything. Too big, too spicy, too saucy. All I needed was 3-4 bites.... Unfortunately it was 23-24 bites. The music sounds like hard punk - not my favorite genre but the food and service made up for it. Worth a trip!

You can find Turkey and the Wolf at 739 Jackson Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130 - this was a short walk from where I was staying on St Charles and on the way to the breweries along the Mississippi to the south (I ended up going to Abita and Urban South). My client meeting got cancelled my first day in New Orleans so I decided to do a bit of exploring and thought I'd walk down to Abita and Urban South near the river. Checking out Yelp there were some interesting reviews for this restaurant and it was basically on my way, so this was my first stop. The building is somewhat nondescript - it looks to have been at one point a service station occupying a corner lot. There appears to be some on street parking. Besides the line outside to the door, I observe that most visitors walked up or were dropped off by ride shares. I arrived just before prime lunch time on a Monday - It took about 20 minutes for me to get through the short line outside the door - there were 10 people in line as I was approaching and it got down to 6 by the time I got in line. Once inside the line continues to the counter - around another 10 minutes. Inside all the tables were occupied, most outside were available to after ordering I went there to sit and enjoy the nice day. The menu is pretty simple, with 5 sandwiches and 5 Not sandwiches options. I went with their signature dish, the fried bologna sandwich, with an order of crinkle cut fries. I made the mistake of not grabbing napkins and they don't bring them to the table so make sure you grab some along with any utensils you may need (and ketchup if that's your preference). I also ordered a Diet Coke (canned). The food took about 20 minutes. Fried bologna - $13.99 - leighann's bologna via's mom's hot mustard, potato chips, shrettuce, mayo, and American cheese on big toast. Crinkle cut fries - $3.99 In all I liked the Fried Bologna but thought it a bit too wet - there's something like a slaw made up by the hot mustard, shrettuce and mayo that had things swimming a bit more than I like. The chips gave the sandwich some much needed texture. The sandwich is also incredibly greasy - I attempted a go without a napkin then a couple of bites into realized that I erred - went in with greasy hands to pick up napkins. The fries weren't anything to write home about - I ended up leaving a few - this meal is very filling. For fast casual this place is about what you would expect - maybe a little attitude but that's typical of a trendy spot like this. I tipped 20% which is my go-to amount (keep your staff happy).

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the creative sandwiches, quirky atmosphere, and friendly staff.

We planned to have dinner here and was seated in a casual area with lower tables. While nice to sit for a casual drink was not up to par for parties who planned to dine in. Our first server we asked to move had declined our request. Stating there wasn't any room to accommodate. Which to be fair is fair when it's a Saturday night. However, we had made reservations and was astonished this wasn't an accommodation for a party they knew was coming in ahead of time. Thankfully, my friend went up to the host to request a table change, and was eventually accommodated with a booth. Booth can sit 6 people comfortably and 7 was a tad squish so they immediately offered an ottoman for someone to sit in the end. Food was delicious, most of us ordered the steak and frites.

You'll find street parking and there were some parking garages within walking distance.

They seated us indoors (we had a reservation) and we were pumped because the indoors looks very inviting. Jumped into cocktails, I first had the honeydew spritz, then the Negroni. Drinks are so delicious. What stands out is the food! We had a few dishes to try. Starting with the Calas, which had 4 pieces and came with one of the most delicious butters. Tried it and didn't think it needed it but then when I put it on you would get your hand stabbed if you tried to take it away. We also got the crawfish bread which was absolutely spectacular. I can't stop thinking about it. It also came with a spicy butter that really make the dish stand out. I also wanted to hoard the butter here. We stayed long enough to where the snack menu came out. We had each one fresh tuna tartelette, and a crab tartelette each, which was outstanding. Since we wanted to move on and try other foods, we left. However, I must say that the service was outstanding and the food and drinks worth the trip! Support small businesses! This place is highly regarded for a reason.

Stay away from this crappy place, there are countless cool people and joints in this wonderful town.
