The Original Brown Derby

In need of a quick breakfast that would be cooked in your grandmother's kitchen... well here you go; GET IT HERE & QUICK!!!!!! Grits, eggs, toast, biscuit, link sausage, patty sausage; all to suit your breakfast needs. Cooked very well & seasoned to boot, no need for salt, well maybe a little, but served as is, there's no mad dash for the salt shaker. In addition to breakfast foods, there are other knick-knack items inside i.e. candies, cans of food, juices, white tees, lol, you know the everyday run of the mill convenience store items in "all things Naturally N'Awlins". I must admit, I lingered a bit to hear the talk that was going on at the register, ear hustling, i was truly interested & of course I chimed in, couldn't help myself, that's CULTURAL!!!!!! I LOVE MY CITY!!!!! I believe this place used to serve up gasoline back in the day as is evident from the gas pumping area & general set-up; oh well, long gone are those days. But moving forward, I recommend quick inexpensive breakfast here & an earful of funniness too.

Thank You Lord for the Original Brown Derby. As small as it means it's great. Amen .

I hate you Brown Derby on Tulane. 1. The whole place smells like a dumpster. It's disgusting and not something you want from a place that is making food for you.2. The hot plates are medium sized and you get a piece of white bread and a can soft drink (if you can get over the smell)3. The owner is a jerk. I broke my ankle a while back and was using a wheelchair. I'd gone in with a friend of mine to get a few things. I was done shopping, but my friend was making groceries in the back. I went to check up on how much longer my friend would be. The owner (you'll know it's him - he's always moody and in a stupid fedora) told me i was NOT allowed back on the aisles, because someone in a wheelchair came in earlier and knocked down his displays. I had a broken ankle. I was very skilled at manuvering my chair - I'd been in there before with no help and had done just fine getting thru the tight, tiny aisles. It was a broken ankle - NOT BRAIN DAMAGE. He would not allow me to shop with my friend, so I tried to discuss it with him like a reasonable human being. Instead he berated me with insults and made fun of my wheelchair. I told him I would no longer shop at his business. This was 2 years ago and I have NOT been back. I will not be back. I have never been more insulted or offended in my life. Why have a handicap ramp into your establishment if you don't allow people with disabilities to shop there?Screw you Brown Derby #3.P.S. There are NO prices on any items and the cashiers make up the prices as they go along. For instance, a beer may be 2.50 at 2pm but it'll be 4.95 a few hours later.

I went there Friday for lunch. Had Hamburger Steak n Gravy with Greens. Hamburger steak was just that, a hamburger in brown gravy. no seasoning or bread crumbs in the meat, no salt or flavor. Gravy was thick and good. The greens taste like they were straight out of the can. No bacon and salt pepper flavor, just water. I hope these people don't think they represent real New Orleans cooking. Its as if they take no pride in what they serve. I wont be back or recommend them ever.

Ummm guys, it's a convenience store. It's got coffee, snacks, motor oil, and a sketchy food counter, probably plus people with different skin colors than yours, which I see is real scary for some of y'all. But it's okay. I promise you will live. It's like every convenience store on earth. Nobody *really* wants to be there. And that's fine. They're not catering your dang wedding. They're selling you two beers and a bag of Fuego Takis. They're not gonna dress up in top hat and tails and dance for you, nor should they. They will, however, sell you stuff quickly and semi-efficiently, and if you're nice to them they're generally nice back to you. Oh, and for as much as you whine about how "dirty" it is... they've got a pretty decent health score.Get. A. Grip. You. Entitled. Prissies.

"MJ" was extremely rude as I simply attempted to determine what happened to my waitr order. Infuriated by his tone and the context of the discussion. Potential customer that has order from the re e multiple times that will never order from theee again. Management should look into this because e ml employees should be easy find at t ik message like this and currently the face of you company is poorly rep re resenting you while every restuarant is struggling to keep customers

Customer service isn't great but you can't expect much from a corner store. This is Good place to go If you are looking for some REAL breakfast food, or comfort food for lunch. I had the smother pork chops, stuffed bell pepper, and mashed potatoes. The place is a real hole in the wall but the food but the food does not disappoint. This review is pretty much the same for the other locations as well

There isn't another lunch meal in Mid-City that is more affordable. That may be a double-edged sword however. You can get a Meat and vegetable/side with rice, can drink, and two slices of white bread for $4.35, which includes tax. That being said, the food tastes well. It is not the cleanest of places but you get what you pay for right? Right.
