The Yummiest Diners in New Orleans

Clover Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (983) • $$

"I honestly can't review this place for the food but I can for their human kindness and for that I give 5 stars. We decided to help someone less fortunate than us by buying them a meal and when the gentleman in my photo seen us giving them food, he came over across the street and gave some hot coffee to them, since it was a little chilly that night. I know it may sound like "only coffee", but to some I'm sure it's a big deal at that moment in life."

Liz's Where Y'at Diner

★★★★★ 4.6 (588) • $$

"Great early morning breakfast place. I got there about 615am & was greeted at the door by my waitress Chris.I ordered coffee, sausage gravy & biscuit with a side of crispy bacon.The food came out quick & was hot & tasty. Chris checked on me several times & gave me a sweet tea to go in a cool cup for later. I liked it so much that I came back all 4 days that I was staying in Covington.I will be back when I return to the area."

Olive

★★★★★ 4.7 (410) • $$

"This is a great option for those looking for something healthy, allergy friendly, and fresh in the city. As a gluten free vegetarian I ordered the olive appetizers and fried cheese to get a little bit of everything! The falafel, grape leaves, and halloumi, are gluten free without the pita. I simply asked for some cucumbers on the side to dip into things! I loved the salty pickles that came with the fried cheese- they paired so nicely with the super crunchy and flavorful falafel. The cheese itself was salty and crispy, however did not stand out to me. The Turkish coffee and mango drink were both tasty; I was really impressed with the coffee and how strong but not bitter it was- this is a must try if you haven't had it before."

Slim Goodies Diner

★★★★☆ 3.6 (626) • $$

"Came here for lunch haven't been since I was 18 I'm 30 now still so good love the goat cheese running through could have used more seasoning but it's salt and pepper on the table still amazing Madison was great!!!!!!"

Dots Diner - Williams Blvd.

★★★★☆ 4.3 (331) • $$

"How much do I like Dot's Diner?When I visit New Orleans, I'm often a guest of Harrah's Casino, who provide me with transportation between their property and the airport in Kenner. More than once, on my way out of town, I've paid my driver a substantial tip to stop at Dot's on Williams Blvd. before we reached MSY, so I could enjoy an unplanned one-more-last-good-meal.Eggs, pancakes, breakfast meats and good coffee are obvious choices, but Dot's does more: their kitchen, which I suspect it haunted by someone's cher tante, turns out home-style Southeastern Louisiana fare that stands with the best such dishes served in da Parish.Is Dot's in Kenner convenient? Not unless you're already in the area. Is it fast? Depends on the day, and time of day. But Dot's food is very good, and it's inexpensive, even when you add in the monster tip required to convince your driver to abandon his schedule. There's value in those things."

Please-U-Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (332) • $$

"I'll be honest, my medium-rare steak was overcooked and somehow dry, although still pink in the center. My husband's French toast was made with wheat bread, which was unexpected and definitely not the preference. It made the toast fall flat, though he said it was still tasty and made well. Just wished it wasn't wheat. It's typical diner food. Nothing fancy, but solid. Maybe we didn't love-love our dishes that day, but it wasn't all bad. I enjoyed the seafood gumbo and mashed potatoes, and I loved the gravy. We had a wonderful experience overall. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Everyone we spoke to was warm and gracious. Our server was wonderful! We loved their homemade salad dressings, so she made a way for us to buy some to take home. We could easily be regulars here!"

Tic Toc Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (218) • $$

"These are the current menus as of 12/3/24. Get the cheese curds. Superior late night burgers. And an atmosphere that says you can feel comfortable wearing sweatpants. Tip your server."

Dots Diner

★★★★☆ 3.7 (198) • $$

"First time in Louisiana, New Orleans. This cute little spot came highly recommended from my partner's mom so here we are.The diner is 60's themed: cozy, quaint, retro ambiance. Menu offers a variety of breakfast items, sandwiches, and burgers.I got the Seafood Omelet and oh my gods is this thing MASSIVE, and packed with flavors! It had fried shrimp, mushrooms and crayfish meat in a gray gravy Julie, I choose hash browns and biscuits for my side (Waitress recommended the biscuit) those are the best biscuits I ever had!Highly recommend, we don't get food like this in the desert so this was such a joy to experience, Thank you so much!"

Butter Krisp Diner

★★★★☆ 3.7 (138) • $

"This place is sinful. The glaze donuts are to die for. I can typically pick up a half dozen and chew through them instantly as I drive home. My other guilty pleasure are their BLT sandwiches. The staff is always friendly. Providing service with a smile. A must stop if you are the area. Grab a half dozen glaze and lose yourself in the box."

RiverFront

★★★★☆ 3.9 (61) • $$

"RiverFront is one of the best places to eat it the Abbeville area. Like it's name suggests, it is situated on the west bank of the Vermilion River. The name might also lead you to assume that they have great seafood, and you would be correct there as well!The RiverFront is located in a new spacious facility with both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoors is decorated with charming wooden sculptures of birds, fish, alligators, and more. The waitstaff are friendly and helpful, and will whisk you off to your seating. If you ask for a table in the back, you can watch the River roll by as you dine.The menu includes everything one would expect in Cajun country. You have beautifully stuffed Po-Boys, soups, salads, seafoods, steaks, and Cajun home style favorites. I usually just ask for the special, as it's always great.Most dishes come with two sides of your choice, so you can go hearty or healthy as you wish. Some of my favorite entrees are the crab cakes, seafood trinity, and hamburger streak (I am a simple man). Prices are moderate, so you can enjoy without guilt."

Dots Diner - River Ridge

★★★★☆ 3.9 (55) • $

"Great food. Called in order. Ready when we got there. Cheese fries and Who Dat burgers! Hit the spot!"

Parkside of Terrytown

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9) • $

"Well, I gotta imagine that this place was the bomb back in the 80s. The décor, imagine a kinda groovy ski lodge looking place. A long narrow, two floored club with wall to wall carpeting. A lot like the old Don Carter's bowling lanes had. Kinda puffy looking in there with a disco kinda vibe. Now fast forward to 2013... musty flattened carpets. Most light fixtures no longer work and ceiling tiles and other tapestries and missing, sagging or piled up in the corner like an old barber shop.The bar and bartender are much the same way. Nice person, fast and friendly but it just feels off in there. Like a alternate reality thing happened in here.They are known for the food, but mostly the main thing they can do well is cheese fries. That is why we had stumbled in there that night. Cheese fries and just change of scenery. Things were going really well till one of our female friends noticed a Algiers sized flying type cockroach running along the floor and another coming from the cooking station. Check please!I do suggest check it out and see if you can see how this place was probably , well I do know for a fact it was the bomb in the late 80s, but saddened that it isn't anymore."

MeMe’s Grab & Go Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"Started off road trip here and everything was great! I had a side salad and bacon cheeseburger sliders and omg delish! Home breaded mushrooms were excellent too and husband had soft sell crab poboy and the crab was overcooked a bit but still good. Strawberry dessert was a hit too. A true homemade recipe place. Definitely a must stop everytime we are close by!"

Glynn's Drive-In - Franklinton

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (13) • $

"Across from the Washington parish fair is a very friendly and welcoming drive in. While we scanned the menu the waiter took her time to go over the menu with us and give us a bit of insight on some of the local favorites. You have the option to order at the window or go in and have a seat. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger with its chili cheese fries, chicken fries and a shrimp plate that comes with 12 shrimp each plate. We spent $37 ! For all of this food, they all came with drinks and fires and were freshly made. The chili cheese fries came loaded with house made chili and shredded cheese. The fries are a meal on their own. The shrimp plate was good the shrimp were fried a bit harder than were used to but still very good. You receive a lot of food with your order we had so many French fries ! The burger was amazing it was the star of the meal. All in all we enjoyed our meal and would surely return if ever in the area again ."

Metry Diner

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (8)

"Still needs some work, nice place happy people. Slow, slow slow. 3 diners in before all had ordered before I walked in over 20 minutes on eggs, hash browns soggy, omelette was bland no seasoning or garnish. Sorry. I am hopeful but I will wish you good luck"
