The Mona Lisa Lounge

During our swamp tour we had a few minutes to kill so we came in here for drinks, The lady bartender when we asked what they had she didn't seem to have much of a clue? & the beers we mentioned they didn't seem to have so we ended up getting Modelo beers, not bad they were nice & cold. This joint is definitely the definition of a dive bar , the look the crowed the location it's like what are the chances u will end up here again on purpose? ahh not likely!The bar serves its purposes for drinks & killing a lil bit of time , not bad at all.

Stop on by while waiting or getting back from your swamp tour.PRICES ARE CHEAP.The hurricanes are STRONG & made well!the inside is very local & very smokey.

Excellent local bar. Their tagline was Where Everyone Feels Like a Local and it really it fitting! The entire bar turned to greet us as we came in before our swamp tour. We tried their custom Hurricane and a few other cocktails and were not disappointed. Grab a bucket of beers to-go for your tour!

I LOVE this place! We had missed our swamp tour and things were looking grim. We saw Mona Lisa's and thought we might as well get some oysters while we're out here. One of the cooks was outside and welcomed us in with open arms, it felt like you were with family rather than a bunch of strangers! We ordered some crawfish egg rolls and chargrilled oysters that were AMAZING! The owner came and chatted with us for a while and she was a great conversation. One of the locals offered to take our picture for us as well. The people and the food were high quality! I would definitely stop in for a beverage and some food if you're out this way!

Some of the best food I've had on my visit down to New Orleans! The locals (shout out Ray) were so welcoming and friendly. Mike, the chef, was also accommodating for my sister and mom who don't eat meat or seafood! We hung out here before and after our swamp tour and had some strong drinks and laughs. Highly recommend; this is as local as you can get and we will definitely be coming back.

Great local spot with a extremely welcoming attitude, plus the hurricanes are amazing

We tried crawfish boil for the first time tonight and Chef Youngblood's crawfish did not disappoint. His seasoning was on point and he even gave us a tutorial on how to twist off the tail, suck the head, open the tail to get more meat, and then crack open the claws for the last two bites. We were with kids, so we ate outside at one of their picnic tables. And before leaving, I asked the bartender Marsha for one more can of Coke. I only had my credit card with me, so Marsha offered to pay for it. I politely declined and then a regular customer jumped in and offered as well. I accepted his offer and thanked them both. All of these reviews about the friendly vibe are accurate; check out the Mona Lisa Lounge -- you'll be treated with kindness and leave with a full stomach. Big thanks to Chef Youngblood and Marsha!

Honestly from the outside this place doesn't look like much however we were pleasantly surprised with how amazing it was! The chef literally waved us in from outside, sat us at our table and took our order. He then made the food and brought it to us. Talk about a 5-star experience! The food was delicious as was the Dixie beer that the bartender recommended! This spot is a must especially after doing the Swamp Tour!

Very yummy. Food is good people are kind. Go for it. You'll love it. Looks a little underwhelming but it very good. Cheese burger was thick and juicy.
