This place has cows everywhere! It seems like they've gotten some new ones recently. Such adorable decor. Service was fast even though they were busy. I had a go bananas milkshake and my honey had a caramel carumba milkshake today they of course were amazing. We have never had a bad milkshake at this place! It is right on the St Charles line of the street car. They've got a clean bathroom and paper towels. There's free water out on the counter. People next to us are eating sandwiches and they look really good. They have fun names too. See the menu below.

This place is so peak it's not even funny. The sandwiches are always affordable, tasty, and interesting no matter which one you get. The daily soup hits. The milk shakes always hit the spot no matter how you shake it. It is a go to local spot with amazing food and great service. If you need a bite to eat in the Carrollton/Uptown area while you are taking the street car anywhere, this is the perfect place to stop at.

We got the special bahn mi moo and a chicken parm sammich... delish! The employees were so nice since we were in there right at 11am, the interior was the cutest with all types of cows. Definitely would go back when I'm on that side of town to try another or even a salad!

Milk Bar was so yummy! I came with a friend and we were looking for an easy meal and stumbled upon milk bar. There was a ton of people inside. It was kinda hard to find a place to sit but spots cleared up pretty fast. I got the Christmas in July sandwich and it was great! The sandwiches are huge too, so I had enough left over for another meal! My only complaint is that it was pretty hot inside the building, but I think it's worth it to come anyways. I can't wait to try another sandwich from here!

If you're looking for a great salad, come to Milk Bar. It's rare that I can find inventive salads at a lunch spot but Milk Bar offers seven amazing salads. I tried the Mediterranean Lamb Salad which comes with these cubes of roasted eggplant that really make the salad interesting. The balsamic vinaigrette is something you have to try if you're a fan of vinaigrette. It was the perfect mix. My coworker for the Chicken Parm Sub and loved it, as well.

Saw an article stating that this place is the best sandwich shop in the state! I got here on Saturday noon to find out, but it was packed. Ordered what is considered the sandwich to order: Occidental Oriental. They seem to specialize in coffee and milkshakes though, looking at the decor. The store is part of a corner plaza in the edge of east Carrollton. The sandwich came hot with melting cheese, but it was just toasted banhmi. Bun was light and crunchy with peanut sauce and same trimmings just with chicken slices. It was good, but not best in state. For best bahnmi with half the price, go inside the Hong Kong market in Gretna. 3.5 stars, next door seems promising, Cheers!

The Milk Bar did not disappoint. The sandwiches and milkshakes are excellent, and there are veggie options in sandwiches and salads. The staff was super friendly. This is well worth a trip. Our suggestion would be to take the streetcar. I am always skeptical when Yelp says a restaurant has the best sandwich in the State, but I think they may be right. To top everything off, they gave us each a sucker that matched the flavor of milkshakes we ordered. The Milk Bar will be on my must-visit list for any future trips to NOLA.

My brother and I opted for the Ocidental Oriental Ciabatta Sandwich, containing chicken, peanut satay sauce, mozzarella, red peppers, cucumber, carrot, cilantro, and shredded lettuce. The pros: it's a very big sandwich, very dollar friendly. The cons: the flavor was lacking, just mid par. Also the strawberry milkshake was acceptable but I've had much better.

I've had Milk Bar on my radar for months. Not bad, but didn't live up to my expectations. Clean little strip mall setting, with one table outside and 6-8 inside. The cow motif is homey. Friendly, quick service. Tried two sandwiches, the George Clooney and the Occidental Oriental. Both were fine, and may even be considered excellent in other cities, but in this town, we're used to more flavor. We've got a dozen sandwich & poboy shops that are way better. The Clooney was just boring. The oriental was a bit more flavorful, but nothing that I'll be craving or making the trip back uptown for a second visit.

We love this place! We always plan a stop here for milkshakes when we have a street car day. They're always super friendly and prompt. Delicious shakes every time! We had a caramel and a banana today and can't wait to come back! The signs on the walls are hilarious! Be sure to read them all!
