Favorite 'nawlins Restaurants

[Eagle-96]

- Mothers has to be at the top of the list. The Po Boys are just about the best on the face of the earth.

- Port of Call has some unbelievable burgers. The baked potatoes aren't bad either.

Acme Oyster Bar has a great oyster po' boy.

The apparently still closed Camellia Grill. Nothing comes close to curing a "Out all night drinking in NOLA with Stebo and ShaneB" quite like this place.

Gumbo Shop, block or so off Bourbon towards market district. It's can't-miss.

[Boomer23]

Copeland’s of New Orleans

5 Star Steak house, I believe is the name? Not sure if it's open or not but it was great when it was.

Best way to streech your dollar:

Nice Lunch: Muriels (Jackson Square)

Cheap Lunch: RC Diner (CBD: Camp & Gravier)

Burger: Port of Call (Esplande) or Mamma's (Touluse)

Fried Chicken: Firaolla's (Decatur across from the French Market)

and of course there is always the Lucky Dog

I second this, well worth the wait in line... and the blue shirted tiger infestation.

I had some sort of jumbalaya there that was out of this world.

Deanie's seafood. It's a block or two up from Bourbon and a couple of blocks east of Canal (Dauphine and Iberville). Really good fried seafood and you won't believe the size of the portions.

Gotta go with Cafe Du Monde. Best beignets in New Orleans (even when you're sick like the last time I was there).

No love for the Popeyes Chicken? They have 2 on every block

My personal preferences:

Red Fish Cafe

Cafe du Monde

Louisiana Kitchen was memorable, but only because of the atmosphere and price. The food wasn't anything spectacular :|

Denny's

[Baby Arm!]

Best Burger- Port O Call

Best Breakfast- Camilla Grill

Best Oyster Po Boy- Acme Oyster Bar

Best Oysters if line at Acme is too long- Felix's (accross the street) *Beware of the horseradish- a little goes a LONG way

Best touristy specialty drink- Hand Gernade @ Tropical Isle

Best boudin sausage- Arnaud's Remoulade on Bourbon

[DentonFrog]

Oysters - ACME (with the rest of the Tiger fans), Casamento's, Mr B's

Fried Seafood - Deanies in Bucktown (haven't been to the one in the Quarter)

Muffaletta - Liuzza's (Also has the coldest beer in town and great pasta)

Non-Fried Seafood - Mandina's on Canal - Great Neighborhood Spot

Breakfast - Now that Camelia's won't be open until after this weekend, I've heard good things about Elizabeth's in Fauborg Marigney

I'm going to seriously miss Ugelesich's (Ugly's) on Baronne - Best Seafood Ever

This Tiger fan is really looking forward to the game--I live a couple of blocks from campus, worked for a short time at UNT, and am excited to see the Mean Green Friday.

GO TIGERS!!!

Very bad news about Fiorella's, or so I was told. Recently took a trip to N.O., and found out Fiorella's was sold not long ago (but remains open). Someone who owns a chain of smaller bars that serve food bought F's from the family that ran it forever, and the chicken isn't as good anymore. That's not to say it's bad, but an antique guy across the street said it ain't the same. Didn't actually get there to find out for myself, so take as you will.

If you haven't... hit Port O' Call for sure... but expect to wait crammed inside or on the street (there are many things worse in life than drinking a Huma Huma and waiting for a table with friends on the beautiful sidewalks of Esplanade)

Also since the storms I have been breakfasting at the Bluebird Cafe' on Prytania St. I miss Camilla Grill horribly.. hopefully Marvin and the crew will be back. I have heard they might relocate, but I hear a lot more that they are gone forever. Which would be a shame because the streetcar ride is one of the best parts! "Flip it up!" "Word."

Other suggestions include The Old Coffee Pot off Bourbon, Commander's Palace and if you are taking your rich Granny she will want to hit Antoine's although last time I ate there I was sorely disappointed in everything but the Potato Souffle which is fancy puffed French fries. Also, Acme is good for a drink and some fried seafood.

If you are taking someone special and are on a budget I would recommend Mona Lisa in the 1200 block of Royal St. Call to make sure they are open, but its a fantastic little Italian place decorated with tons of different renditions of its namesake.

Fun places to have a drink. The Carousel bar at the Hotel Monteleone, Laffitte's Blacksmith Shop on Bourbon (my fav bourbon street bar) and Molly's at the Market on Decatur St.

Take Care,

Shane
