The Yummiest Steakhouses in New Orleans

Doris Metropolitan

★★★★☆ 4.4 (856) • $$$

"Doris Metropolitan has been on my radar for quite some time, so mom and I stopped in for a drink at the bar. This Mediterranean inspired steakhouse is known for its high-quality meats, but you can also get premium seafood and high-end caviar service as well. The ambience is classy & elegant and you will receive a friendly welcome when you arrive. We sat at the bar and the lovely Jaz took care of us. Two Grey Goose Martini's dry - one with Blue Cheese stuffed olives for me and regular olives for mom. We ordered the Truffle Fries to share, and Jaz asked if we wanted some bread. I was initially going to say no, but I'm so glad I said yes because the bread was amazing! There were three types - Jalapeno Cheddar, Onion, & Sesame Brioche. They were fresh & hot out of the oven and were served with three different butters and a tomato confit with olive oil & balsamic. Each one was delicious, and it was obvious that the bread is baked in house. The truffle fries were also very good, and our martinis were excellent.Based on the exceptional service and the life changing bread platter, I will definitely come back for a sit-down meal here. I'll may even have to splurge on the caviar! Happy Hour Tues - Thurs 5 - 6:30 pm"

"Interesting/creative food, good service and atmosphere. The food was so good that I even forgot to take pictures"

Chophouse New Orleans

★★★★☆ 4.2 (777) • $$$$

"Great location, awesome little away from the madness, in an old building with great ambiance.Service is top notch as expected in a restaurant as nice as this.Appetizer seafood assortment was excellent and came with their thick-cut bacon. Delish.Filet was cooked perfectly and no sauce was needed. The way it should be.Would return."

Desi Vega's Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (464) • $$$

"Wow! 5 star service all the way. We came for a work event I had the filet with blue cheese crust others had the ribeye and fish. I had the wedge salad for starters which was perfection and we shared the Mac n cheese, asparagus and mashed potatoes. I would highly suggest you treat yourself to an incredible meal."

Mike Anderson's - Gonzales

★★★★☆ 4 (416) • $$

"I went here with a group of 16. They were able to accommodate us with a reservation the day of. They allotted one server for our table which ended up not being too bad. Holy moly the oysters are HUGE and tasty with the bread. You have to get the oysters. Most meals come with a salad of your choice between house or Caesar. The stuffed mushrooms were a great add on for appetizers. I got the norman, it was a cozy meal with really large shrimp. I personally would've liked something more spicy. The gator bites were huge as well and fresh. I recommend if you're trying to get some Louisiana cuisine in the area."

Ruffino's

★★★★☆ 4 (353) • $$$

"I attended a group dinner here . The atmosphere was nice and the lighting was perfect. The room was a little tight due to our party size. Our server was attentive and knew the group menu well. I enjoyed the fish Katie but the bread pudding stole the show."

Roux & Brew Seafood and Steak House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (317) • $$

"We stopped here on the way to Florida since it's not far from I-10 and so happy we found it! Everything was delicious! The blueberry passion fruit cocktail is delicious and refreshing! The trout crawfish etoufee was great with bold flavor and the grilled shrimp was perfect! I didn't even use the butter sauce so saved calories and still enjoyed! The steamed veggies and green beans are delicious and came with good amounts! The service was friendly attentive and young! One side is called the patio but I think it's the bar side which had a good sounding vibe but since we were driving and in a hurry we didn't get to enjoy that side! The restaurant is ideal for a casual date or for a family with kids to eat in a big booth! Yes I recommend this place and will keep it on my list of places to stop off during my beach trips!"

Estrella Steak & Lobster

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (489) • $$

"My mom & I were looking for a place that served lobster tail since our usual go to didn't have it on the menu. Estrella came up on the list. When we got there, I was surprised to find that it was a "hole in the wall." With a name like Estrella Steak & Lobster I expected a fancy steak house. I was a bit skeptical but decided to give it a shot. Our server Brandy was delightful. She had glitter on her face and a bubbly personality. We ordered cocktails (Lemon Drop & French 75), the Louisiana Crab Cakes to start, and the Lobster Tails to share (2 for $33). We also asked for a side of sautéed mushrooms. The crab cakes were huge. Served on a thick slice of French bread and topped with a crawfish mushroom sauce. They were one of the best crab cakes we've had in NOLA. The edges were crisp, and the center was filled with chunks of big, flaky, tender crab meat. The bread was perfect for soaking up all that yummy crawfish mushroom sauce.Our entrees arrived on two separate plates. They even split the side of mushrooms for us. The lobster was perfectly cooked - tender & juicy. It tasted even better when dipped in the drawn butter. The sautéed mushrooms were also tasty. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was here. Sometimes the best meals come from a little hole in the wall."

Akira Sushi Hibachi

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (467) • $$

"I am updating my review for the sole reason of bumping 1 star for loss of value by removing the lunch price from being available at all on Saturdays. This happened some time back and I have not returned since. It became not worth the visit for me anymore when the price rose 20 for the lunch overnight. The parking lot is not very big and several spaces are compact only. So be mindful of parking. The staff helped quick to seat us and was nice. There was obvious language barriers, but that did not bother me. There is only two real options--sushi buffet (order at the table style) and hibachi. We did the sushi buffet. We also did the lunch (16 per plate plus 18% is added to the check/ 35 dollar ticket for two with water). There are paper menus on which you can mark your orders and laminated menus that help as a key to identify what's in the individual rolls that you order. There's also nigiri (a cut of sashimi on a bed of rice). I stuck mostly to the finger rolls and had one specialty roll. I preferred just eating the fish and rice without the drizzled sauce so I would probably only get the nigiri next time. If you like nigiri, the price is great for what you get because you can add soup, salad, ice-cream, and/or noodle entre items. The area was spacious and had a fish tank and nice aethetic. The fish was fresh, and i even saw them carrying 2 uncut fish fillets that were to be sized down to pieces that would be put in the sushi fridge at the bar. I would say that the bathroom needs some love. Some spray needs to be put in there or something. Both the male and female sides stunk bad and could be smelled from outside the door. The look of the restroom was not bad (same color tile on floor and wall and clean).This sushi buffet was a nice change from the way I usually experience sushi. You can't leave hungry (or it's your fault), and the quality does not significantly suffer because of the price. Come hungry and try the nigiri."

Stroubes

★★★★☆ 3.8 (288) • $$$

"Great service and delicious food! We had the specials of the day which were cajun arancini and a New York Strip with seafood beignets and mashed potatoes. Not pictured is the salted caramel brownie with ice cream which was also divine."

Crescent City Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (316) • $$$

"If you read the reviews here you may not go to this restaurant. HOWEVER, we made reservations and went albeit apprehensively.We got there early, they seated us in a private booth. We ordered a ribeye, salmon, spinach au gratin, and lyonnaise potatoes.Apart from the fact that our server was top notch the food was amazing! The steak melted in our mouths and the salmon was one of the best we've ever had. The flavors of everything were amazing and we loved it! The staff was welcoming and helpful. The over all atmosphere of the restaurant was buzzing. We felt like we had been swept back in time a bit. It was great to hear all of the people delighting in time with each other."

Galatoire's 33 Bar & Steak

★★★★☆ 4 (248) • $$$

"Always a delicious meal is to be had at Galatoire's 33 Bar and Steak. It's so nice to have a casual option to have a 5 star meal in New Orleans."

Austins Seafood & Steak House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (214) • $$$

"Delicious, they don't mind splitting salad and just want their guest to enjoy their meal! Outstanding lemon drop! And service!"

Charlie's Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (228) • $$$

"I've been a customer of Charlie's Steak House for about 30 years now. It always has been and always will be one of my all-time favorite restaurants in the city. We visited recently to celebrate my brother's birthday. It was wonderful. We reminisced and told stories of previous visits. They have a new owner as of the last couple of years and even so, it's for sure still as I remember. They do have a couple of new menu items and I do believe they are great additions to the menu. One of the new items is the crabmeat au gratin, and it's very good with lots of fresh crab meat. The ribeye steak I had this visit was one of the best I've ever had here. While I do miss the days of old and the rowdiness of the restaurant and the pay phone across from the bar that customers got to answer when it was really busy, it's for sure still Charlie's and will always hold a special place in my heart from 30 wonderful years of making memories here. If you're local or just in town for a visit, make a stop at Charlie's because I know you will love it too."

The Steakhouse Caesars New Orleans

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (283) • $$$

"Location: At entrance of Caesar's. Note - can get a bit chilly due to proximity to main entrance in winter. Ambience: Steakhouse dark wood vibe.Food: Excellent all around. The wedge salad was like 1/2 a head of lettuce. The steak was huge and cooked to temp as ordered. The Brussels Sprouts were one of the best, crispy. The best item was the crab cakes, fresh and full of crabs with very little fillers. Would definitely eat here again."

Keith Youngs Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (163) • $$$

"The food at Keith Young's was absolutely amazing. I had the redfish with green beans, so fresh and delicious! My friend enjoyed the pork-chop with fresh green beans and sweet potatoes. We got the oysters for an appetizer, and they were absolutely delicious. Our bartender, Megan, was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Greg and Lisa always show love to all the patrons. Highly recommend!"

Fezzo's Seafood Steakhouse & Oyster Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (219) • $$

"The service and the atmosphere were very good. Higher ranking than the food.The oysters on the half shell were good.The gumbo was pretty good, seafood and the chicken gumbo both.The fried shrimp itself was very good.The etouffe was tasteless. I added salt and Tabasco, actually a lot, and it kind of woke up.The corn and shrimp bisque was the same, very tasteless, needed a lot of salt and pepper, just no seasoning.The red beans and rice had a hint of being good, but it was 90% rice, a couple scrapes on top and it was a bowl of white rice. Had a side of hush puppies, I liked the flavor, they seemed under done, but I actually liked them, my wife did not.Just felt like then were pulling all the seasoning because this is in I10 and maybe travelers don't like spice?"

Dukes Seafood and Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.9 (165) • $$

"First time eating at Dukes. The service and atmosphere were nice. The food didn't disappoint! We will return next time in town."

Tokyo Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (142) • $$

"My daughter and I like to go to Tokyo Cafe for hibachi since it's close to our house. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and I really appreciated that she would make conversation with my daughter as well as with me. Our hibachi chef was great and interacted with us the entire time he cooked. The food was delicious! The salmon was so tender. My daughter got the fried rice, and we didn't realize that she would also get noodles too. The portions were enough for both of us to have leftovers, definitely worth the price. Maybe next time I'll branch out and add some sushi as well, but the hibachi is so good that it's hard to branch out."

Dupuys Seafood & Steak

★★★★★ 4.6 (86) • $$

"Dupuys was the first stop of this year's culinary expedition to New Orleans from Houston and to race in the 2024 Shamrockin Run New Orleans. The first stop was the highlight of this year's trip: Large and delicious gulf raw oysters, perfectly prepared friend seafood, friendly, and precise service from the waitstaff. The evening could not have been better. A cautionary note: The servings are very large; my mate's oyster po-boy, served cut in half, was huge and is easily shareable. If you are any where near Abbeville, Dupuys is a can't miss."

Fezzo's of Broussard

★★★★☆ 3.6 (139) • $$

"Great service and great Cajun cuisine. Also try their house hot sauce it's pretty good."

Vera's Seafood

★★★★☆ 3.9 (116) • $$

"If you are in the Slidell area and looking for delicious food that is reasonably priced, eat here. The service was quick, informative and kind. The restaurant is clean and has a really nice and inviting rustic feel. I will eat here again."

Dukes Seafood and Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (125) • $$

"Dukes up oysters cup gumbo and stuffed flounder was excellent great service as well great service from start to finish very reasonably priced"

The Little Village - Airline

★★★☆☆ 3 (169) • $$$

"First of all the food is so wonderful and delicious. You have to try the bread with garlic it can be a meal in itself alone! The service is amazing our waitress was so kind and helpful with the selection on our food . I order a sensation grilled chicken salad and I had to take it home it was so big. The place is amazing and good for fine dining or with the family dinner. I will be going back for sure."

Louisiana Bayou Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (85) • $$

"Visiting my cousin in the area, she suggested we eat from here, one of her spots she likes to go to. We ordered for pick up so we could eat and hang out at her house; so I don't really know how it is inside the actual restaurant. The person over the phone was nice and helpful though, and patient as it was my first time ordering from there. We got the blackened chicken and andouille Alfredo, it came with garlic bread, and was really good. My husband also liked it. I would love to try more menu items when we come back for another visit."

Buddies Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (68) • $$

"Wonderful Steak and great staff! I was the DD but the martinis looked very good and there is a kids menu very reasonably priced."

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."

Tokyo Japanese Steak House

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (80) • $$

"I came here with a group of friends for happy hour so we could try a variety of rolls for half price.First, let me start with the ambiance. When you walk in you feel like you are transported to a different world entirely. It's dimly lit, very cold (that's a good thing in this heat) and fountains and ponds soothe your senses. I love the atmosphere here and will be coming back time and time again. I forgot that right outside I was at the corner of a very busy and stressful intersection.We tried:California Roll-crab stick, avocado, cucumberCajun Roll-crawfish, cucumber, crunchMexican Roll-shrimp, snow crab, jalapenoSoft shell crab Roll-Fried soft shell, avocado, cucumberSpicy Girl Roll-spicy salmon, spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy white fish and jalapeno.Roubusta Roll-tempura shrimp, crab salad, avocadoThey were all good but my favorite was the Mexican and Spicy Girl rolls. If you're able to go during happy hour (4 to 7pm) that is the way to do it. It's a great way to try lots of different rolls for a fraction of the price."

Boutin's Cajun Seafood Steakhouse & Oyster Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (75)

"Lunch at Boutin's is delicious. Gumbo, shrimp poboys, and hamburgers are excellent. Great place to take out-of-towners looking for an authentic Cajun experience. Our server was personable and made for a relaxed experience. Now it's a bit pricey, but we were able to still get lunch specials that are no longer on the actual menu. I only wish I would've thought to take pictures while I was there."

Nagoya Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (53) • $$

"I am so upset with myself for living in this neighborhood, and just now stopping in. I brought my nephews for their first hibachi experience, it's the best I've ever had!!! We were first in a wave of guests that came in. We just had a party of 3, for hibachi. We were immediately seated. The server was quadruple sat, including a party of 8. The poor dear was literally running around. The service was fast, the hibachi chef was HIGH-LA-RIOUS!!! He engaged my youngest nephew. I giggled so much. The food was delicious! I will definitely return! Plus I saw they offer Waitr, so that's a super plus for me"

Yamato Steakhouse of Japan

★★★★☆ 4.2 (39)

"Yes very good as far as Japanese you can get here in the Bay.... Ice people and reasonable for sushi"

Steak Knife Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (66) • $$$

"Always a great experience. The food is consistently great, service is excellent, love to sit in bar too. We love Steak Knife"

Kampachi Japanese Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (47) • $$

"So glad that Kampachi has finally reopened since closure due to Hurricane Ida! Food was excellent as always. Super friendly service. Great dining experience. Back on the regular dinner rotation list!!!"

Kirin Sushi Steak House

★★★★★ 4.6 (29)

"This place is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but the food is worth a visit!! We had the tempura-fried soft shell crab for our appetizer. It was served with a fried sweet potato slice and a fried zucchini slice. For our main dishes, we had the beef lo mein, the Fire on the Bayou roll, and the Dragon roll. Everything was delicious! The sushi was very fresh! It looks like most of their customers are takeout orders, but dining in was worth it because all the food came out super fresh and super hot. Service was super friendly too. Highly recommend!"

South of Philly

★★★★☆ 3.9 (40) • $

"Poboys were huge. Fried pickles were amazing. I believe the woman who took our to go order was the owner. She was so organized and helpful. Our order was perfect!"
