Schnell's Restaurant & Bar

This is not the quality of the old log cabin or Schnells! Way over priced!! No more visits!!

Schnell's Restaurant & Bar Family Dining is a great old school restaurant with a nice rear area with two separate bars. This is the only bar I've ever seen that sells lottery tickets in the entire USA which I would guess there are more somewhere so if you know of any let me know. This is also one of the very few places in the greater New Orleans area that is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Schnell's has good po'boys, fried chicken, burgers along with a wide variety of other good choices. They also have some fantastic onion rings and a great selection of rotating daily specials each day of the week. Their dessert selection is limited to just the one choice of bread pudding. Before our current "situation" and "troubles" they would host live music which for now is on hold.Overall this is a nice spot to check out especially for the daily specials.My video review of Schnell's Restaurant & Bar is here:https://youtu.be/av0cNXDBHPA

Service could be friendlier. Food ok..Grits too thick, not creamy...Went there about a month ago.

There's no excuse why it has taken me so long to sing the praises of Schnell's.Behind that glorious German name is some of the most delicious fried chicken you will ever put in your mouth, but I'm getting ahead of myself.I stopped in here months ago for an easy dinner and I was the only person in here on a Friday night. I had a man's hunger, so I decided to tuck into their fried chicken and some onion rings.In case you weren't aware: I'm an onion ring snob and only the best will do. Schnell's rings passed the "dip" test (the batter stays on when dipping into ketchup or other dip of your choosing). Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside- perfect.The fried chicken is out-of-this-world. For $10 you get all the white meats fried to juicy perfection. Unless you are looking to break some sort of record, you are going to need a go-box.The waitress couldn't have been nicer and she even apologized for the wait time for the fried chicken. Look, I don't mind waiting for fried chicken at all- I know the good stuff takes time.If you didn't grow up on the Westbank, this place might not be on your radar, but it's definitely worth a visit.

I won't return. My family and I (husband) had a seafood platter. The seafood had a nice crust but bland, the only thing that was pretty good was the stuffed crab which I didn't know what it was at first glance bc the outer crust was really dark, and it wasn't in a crab shell. It was more like a fried crab stuffing. My son had a burger and fries, which wasn't filling. It was just a handful of fries and small burger with one round slice of pickle, and I had a $16 shrimp salad that had old harden grilled shrimps, one piece of unripe tomato and the end cuts of the lettuce burg. I asked the waitress can I substitute my bread, and she said, Yes. Well I ordered mixed veggies( that I had to separately pay for), I wouldn't have served that to my dog! It was also old, over cooked and discolored! I went on to pay for everything bc my husband didn't want me to make a fuss, but I will never go there again!

Pivot was great From first view it looked like a restaurant it's not desirable but the food is great piece for atmosphere and the service was it was awesome

The food was great and it was a great experience. The wait for the wait staff was a little long but the food came out with lightning speed. I ordered the meal of the day and it ended up being barbeque ribs. The food was pretty delicious but it did not taste like anything you could simply buy. The plate was full of food and flavor. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

For years I have heard how great this place was, but despite several trips, I am not a fan.Schnell's is about as local of a place you can get. It is located on 4th street and has been around for a very long time. I would imagine they have a very steady stream of locals which means they aren't exactly friendly to the new comers.I have been here three or four times and every time the service has been lacking. I have felt like asking where to order, or for a drink refill was more of an imposition than it should have been. On my most recent trip I asked if we should order at the counter or grab a table and the server grumbled something along the lines of go sit down and someone will be with you eventually. I ordered a roast beef poor boy and side of gravy fries. I think they used some sort of liquid cheese on the fries and they were not very good. The roast beef looked great, but lacked flavor. Their version is a grilled roast beef, so the bread gets very crispy. The crispiness prevents gravy from soaking into the bread which I think takes away from the sandwich.It is doubtful I will give Schnell's a fifth chance to impress me.

Food is delicious, Dallas is the best waitress ya'll have.

Enjoyed our food. ThanksThis site want me to write more. Good food Staff is always friendly, the roast beef sandwich is my absolute favorite
