Deja Vu Restaurant & Bar

Yes. Classic diner food with kind folks. Yes: you may see some characters but it's New Orleans

I'd give zero, but can't. Chose those place because they had more menu options than most local places.... When we entered we were the only people there. Sat down, ordered drinks, and the "waitress" came to take our order. We have dietary needs and allergies, so I asked about a food item, I asked if the pot roast had celery, and she said she didn't know... but before finding out she just said "we don't do no substitutions, let me tell you something about this restaurant, we are more a bar that serves food. Everything comes in prepackaged, we don't make anything here." She wouldn't look to find out if the pot roast had celery, just that she assumed so since it was prepackaged. She was very annoyed that I even asked- like I should know they're not a "restaurant" ( which in their name), but just a bar that warms food. What struck me more than anything was the complete lack of any patience or interest in caring for customers, and her attitude in general that I even asked one question. She was very rude. I share this to say- if you want a bar that can serve a warm heat up meal- by all means give it a try. If you're looking for a restaurant to eat in and try local fare- probably choose anywhere else- literally anywhere. After she ranted, I said that we would no longer eat there and we left. She was rude from start to finish the whole 5 minutes we were in there.

THE BEST BAR IN NEW ORLEANSSS! Seriously i'm so happy we stumbled into this place on our trip because we quickly became regulars. Love the bartender, such a great guy with hilarious humor. The vibes of this place are amazing and everyone is so friendly and welcoming, we tried a couple of the food menu items like the fried pickles and their po boy which were both delicious. I can't say more about this place, you just have to go in person and witness the greatness for yourself.

Kind of out of the way, quiet bar that serves food. Kitchen was open. Walking distance from the Hyatt Centric. Three booths and a few tables. The server was very chill and friendly, good energy from her. I only had the red beans and rice and water. My husband had the club sandwich. His sandwich was HUGE. He was only able to finish half. No fries. He said it was good. My red beans and rice were good too. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. We ate at 10pm-ish. We were the only ones there when we walked in. A couple and a man walked and sat at the bar soon after. We sat at a booth. The seats were sticky. You know, how when stuff needs to be given a good scrubbing. The table was better, but my arms would stick a little bit to it too. All that I could overlook. I was hungry, it was open and I hadn't eaten since 1pm. I wanna be clear that what I ate that night there was the only thing I ate that evening. The only other thing that I had eaten that day was at about 1pm. A few hours later, at about 4am, I had the worst abdominal pain and without going into details, I was up for a couple of hours in the bathroom. Throwing up AND the other end too. I was in pain and in bad shape until about 8pm. Was it the food? I don't know, but my guess, as a medical professional of many years, says probably. It was too bad cuz that took me out for a whole day of my vacation time in New Orleans. This was a first experience of its kind in the many times that I've been to new Orleans. A trip that I will not soon forget.

we stopped here to grab some breakfast, since it was around the corner from our hotel. We got in sat right down. It was much nicer looking inside compared to the outside. They seemed to have a lively bar, with lots of people drinking and watching football. There were lots of people in there eating breakfast as well. We ordered a classic type of breakfast and Biscuits and gravy. We ordered right away, but it took a while to get the food. In the meantime, they kept out drinks ( coffee and water) filled. The classic breakfast was pretty ordinary, I didn't care for the biscuits and gravy, very little flavor and it was $11! I forget how much the breakfast was (maybe $14) very ordinary and over-priced.

Amazing service! What a cool place. We stopped in before our 1p wedding and had a blast! Benjamin is THE best!!!!!!!!!!!!

We ate at Deja Vu several times throughout our trip and everything was delicious. Throughout the days we got the southwestern egg roles, a BLT, nachos with the best chili, Cajun meat pies, and pictured an open faced hot roast beef sandwich that I will dream about and chase for years to come!Service was great! We hung out here for football Sunday with Benjamin and he made us feel at home and welcome! He was great entertainment and kept our drinks full! We also hung out with another fun bartender and watched the game show network with her but didn't happen to catch her name. If you're in the area looking for a quiet dive bar with good home cooked meals and friendly staff this is it. We will be returning next time we're in town!

recommended to us by one of our tour guides. The staff is very friendly, the food is delicious and unique (the boudin balz were delicous and perfectly cooked) and their special bloody mary is really delicious! We came back for New Years Eve!

Run of the mill bar menu. The boudin balls were great. Drink prices were ok, but it's definitely a dive. The shrimp poboy I had was bland and was mostly bread. Fine for a late night snack and beer.

Slow day after Christmas. About noonish. Thought I would have lunch after long walk. Bar was empty, really, but the locals were sitting at the bar. Seriously loud..but hey, it's Noly, so ordered simple BLT, and cold beer. Then came happiness. I got over to the booths where it was less noisy. Just a neighborhood bar. No flash, no rush. No juke box, but nice cold beer and good bar food
