    This is one of the best dive bars and restaurants in New Orleans, hands down. The food is incredible, love the red beans and rice dish. Perfect late night food after exploring and drinking on the town

    Great spot for a hungover Sunday brunch off Bourbon Street. Biscuits + gravy & poached eggs are the way to go. Super spicy bloody mary too (take one to go!). Oh, and a jazz band.

    The restaurant features such local treats as bratwurst jambalaya with a whole wall of hot sauces, plus crisp bacon, snow-white, perfectly done fried eggs, and thick buttermilk biscuits. Read more

    Worth the walk to the far corner of the Quarter. This neighborhood joint is laid back and a welcome respite from the crazier places a few blocks away. I wish we had a place like this where we live!

    The best bar in nola. I suggest everyone who just wants a to have a peaceful time. And the jalapeno cheese poppers are the best one I've ever had

    Our local. Great for dogs and other people. Better burgers than the Port 'O Call and not wait. Brilliant bartenders. Love this place.

    If you want a local bar where everyone is friendly and the drinks are cheap this is your place! The fried green beans are amazing.

    The Buffa burger is one of the best around, the camaraderie at the bar is hard to beat, and the music in the smoke-free back room is always a welcome treat.

    This is a locals bar. Totally cool laid back and cozy. Slip right in sit and have a beer. Act right if your not a local. #plugintobola

    under the bar you can find electrical outlets and USB ports to charge your phone, but if you go to the men's room you have to piss on the wall.

    24-hours and always serving food. A beer + shrimp w. grits is all you need for breakfast!

    Bartender suggested live music in back room but waiter informed us that anywhere we stood "would be in their way" and the wait for a table was 1 1/2 hour. Very small bar.

    Deep dish pizza on mondays is ok. The menu has a nice spread from specialty burgers to blackened redfish.

    Food arrived 1 hour and a half after we placed the order and it was quite blend, definitely nothing special. Portions were generous though, and the staff was very nice.

    love this place but the bartender last Sat was a jerk. Before asking what we'd like to drink she states "the back room is closed" as if that's why we were there. generally unfriendly, won't go back

    This place was recommended as a Packer friendly bar, I do NOT recommend this place, bar was dirty & sketchy clientele & no Packer game, it was not broadcasted on their channels available that day.
