Marielle’s 2-star review: The Westbank trying to be Eastbank. I used to go here a lot, because a guy a dated a few years back loved it, but I always found it WAY overpriced and the food wasn't that great. The staff was ok, but it looked like they couldn't deal with the amount of people who would come into the place. If you want a more upscale dining feel, don't waste your time on this place. Drive the 6 minutes is takes to get uptown and pick a place on Magazine St. Trust me. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: I'm gonna start by saying that Cowbell has beer now, and will have liquor soon, because they just got their license. Those of you of were all up in arms about your lack of booze, can relax. I swear, it was mentioned in so many reviews of this place! Anyway, after a night of driving around, and finding that every place had a 2 hour (or more) wait, we decided to give Cowbell a try. The first thing I noticed was the interesting decor. It's set up in a "family" style kind of way, long tables and chairs. Kinda like Bud's Broiler. As an app, a girl we were with ordered the mac and cheese, so that we could all try it. Let me tell you, it was delicious. It was made with a white cheese and it was nice and creamy. We all agreed that it was fantastic. I decided to order a burger with cheddar cheese, which comes with hand cut fries. I was really wishing that I could sub the fries out for some of that mac and cheese, but alas, substitutions aren't allowed. The burger was delicious and cooked to "medium" perfection, just the way I like it. Usually, I order a burger "medium" and just assume that I will get it "medium well". I've learned to live with this. Here, the burger was perfect and exactly how I wanted it. I was impressed. At the end of the meal, we decided to try out the two desserts they have: the "chocolate city" and the apple pie. Both were fantastic, but the pie is probably the best I have ever had in a restaurant. I would definitely go back, probably for lunch. The place wasn't crowded at all, which was great. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: A fork in the road is to sandwiches what taceaux loceaux is to Mexican food: fast, convenient, good, and served fresh out of a truck. I had been eager to try this place for a while. Having been a huge fan of that other truck food place: taceaux loceaux, I couldn't wait to try "fork". I decided to get their ham and cheese melt, which comes fully dressed and with or without tomatoes, mustard and mayo. I loved it. It was a cheesy sandwich, which was then pressed, so that the cheese would melt, and it would be nice and warm. It almost reminded me of a Cuban sandwich. It came with a small bag of chips, and for $6 (for 6 inches of sandiwich, or $8 for 8 inches), it's the perfect lunch or dinner. The next one I'm going to try is going to be the pulled pork sandwich, which is not listed on their menu, but was good enough to get "fork" featured on the local news. They serve lunch every day from 11am-2pm at Tulane University Square on the river, and some days they even serve breakfast. They set up shop all over town, including outside of Dos Jefes, so be sure to follow them on www.twitter.com/forkdat to find out where they will be next. I can't wait to go back and try more.

Marielle’s 4-star review: I've been trying to eat a bit healthier lately, but I allow myself the weekend to splurge on the good stuff, so I ended up at Lakeview Harbor for a cheeseburger and onion rings. Truth me told: I never went to the old Lakeview Harbor. I had always heard raves about how good the burgers are, but I rarely eat burgers these days, and when I do, I go for Company Burger. This new spot is really nice and the inside is set up nicely and is quite welcoming. I was here right when they opened, so the crowd was thin and I was seated immediately. As I mentioned, I got the cheeseburger with onion rings and also a side of potato salad because...salad is healthy. Duh. The cheeseburger comes cooked any way you want and you have your choice of a few cheeses. I went with cheddar cheese. The burger was great- it was cooked perfectly, it came dressed and the cheese was plentiful. While it wasn't as good as Company Burger (I think they cook their burgers in bacon fat or something), I enjoyed it. The potato salad was yummy and the star of the show was the onion rings. I love onion rings and these were golden brown and crispy. They were great and I'd order them again. All in all my experience here was good and I'd return. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: One of my favorite places to eat in the quarter. They have delicious food. From sandwiches to pizza. My absolute favorite is the Mystic pizza. Oh my gah! It is so good. I seem to remember gettng a pasta salad here once. I love how big the servings are here and the place is perfect for groups. Also, this place is open late, so it's a great place to stop if you need some dinner after a long night. Try not to be put off by the paintings on the wall that seem to resemble Angelina Jolie. Fun fact: a friend of mine lives in the apartment directly above this place and his pad smells like pizza 24/7...a little cool and a little weird, eh? -
Marielle’s 5-star review: How can you go wrong with a place with huge pictures of "old time" movie stars on the wall? An offshoot of the World War 2 museum, my boyfriend and I ate here before going to the Ogden (it's right across the street). We didn't have a lot of time, so we decided to just get an app. We ended up splitting the mini cheeseburgers and they were DELICIOUS. I mean, the place IS a John Besh restaurant, so it's only the best. We were also given flavored pickle spears, which sounds odd, but they were really good. I could definitely see going back to this place for a night out with friends. They also have a nightly show called the "Stage Door Canteen" that is set in the time of the 40's, during the war. I haven't seen it yet, but it is definitely on my "to do" list! -
Marielle’s 2-star review: I don't know. On a scale of "Sucky" to "Awesome", I think that I would rate this place a solid "Meh". First, let me start by saying that I'm not a HUGE fan of Greek food and gyros, so if you are, you may be a better judge then me. This place pegs itself as a coffee shop that also serves food. I went and I got some pita and hummus as an app and a chicken gyro as my dinner. It was ok. Nothing special. The hummus wasn't bad, but it's hard to screw that stuff up. I would try it again, only because I like to try a place twice before I declare that I hate it. Decent enough if you are on the Westbank and want a gyro. If you have the time, just head over to Byblos. -
Marielle’s 5-star review: It seems like every article I've read about new restaurants keeps mentioning Marjie's Grill, so I had it on my list. When Chef Goodenough from Carrollton Market mentioned how good the Cubanh Mi special is, I moved it to the top of my list and made a point of getting over there. I stopped in for lunch and it was perfect timing because the crowd was thinning out. Of course, I knew what I wanted so I ordered the Cubanh Mi and eagerly waited for my mind to be blown- and blown it was. If you're a fan, in any capacity, of Cuban sandwiches, this sandwich is a must. It's braised smokey rib meat on a pressed Ideal Market roll, with mozzarella, herbs, chilis and hot mustard. It was delcious! The rib meat was tender, juicy and flavorful, the chillis added the perfect amount of kick and the cheese brought the whole thing together. It was like an Asian Cuban sandwich and they NEED to make this a regular part of their menu. The sandwich is $12 and I ate half for lunch and had the rest for dinner. The staff here is friendly and the decor is adorable. They have a patio outside, but it was in the 30s on the day I was here, so that will have to wait for another time. They have a very eclectic menu, and check out their Instagram because they're always posting yummy food pics. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Balcony Bar has improved greatly since my last review. The crowd is MUCH improved thanks to an awesome door guy. The place gets a good crowd without being TOO crowded. There is no smoking (I know that there is no smoking in every bar now, but Balcony Bar has been no smoking for two years). And the best part is the beer- the owners have really made an effort to add a lot of local beer on tap which I am always a fan of. As a result of there being better beer, the place isn't as "fratty" anymore and you can actually sit down and have a conversation and not feel weird. While Balcony Bar still isn't my first stop if I am looking for a good time, it's not a bar that I avoid as I once did. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Say what you want about Chick-Fil-A, at least it's consistent. I have never been left disappointed with this place. The staff is friendly and nice and the food is always good. I don't get the typical "chick" sandwich. I usually get the way unhealthier (because it's loaded with mayo) chicken salad sandwich. It is the best chicken salad sandwich you will ever get at a fast food joint, I can guarantee you that! Their waffle fries are also a fave, but I'm usually left wishing that they were a tad crispier. I like to bring them home and pop them in the oven, for a bit, in order to get them the way I like them. Minus one star for sometimes putting the cole slaw in the bag, on it's side, causing leakage. Closed on Sundays, but I'm sure you knew that. -
Marielle’s 5-star review: I had been wanting to try Rum House for a while, and tonight I had the chance. When I walked in, I was shocked at how packed the place was. This was obviously a secret I was last to find out about. I sat at the bar and I started with a margarita. It was so good and perfect with salt. I then ordeedr a cuban sandwich for my meal. Now, I'm super picky when it comes to Cubans, but this one was delicious. Fantastic ham and cheese pressed into bread. It was so good. It came with sweet potato chips (which I have never had) and that were so good. On top of that, my dinner was only $10! I was so happy with my whole meal, and I ended up taking half of it home. See picture! I can't wait to go back to Rum House with some friends. It's so good, there is bound to be something for everyone here. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Only 3 stars?? What?! I love this place! Whenever I go I always get the Oyster platter that comes with fries and hush puppies and cole slaw. The inside of the place has a "nautical" theme, so you are made to feel like you are eating in a fisherman's cabin. They have an oyster bar, so if you are in the mood for raw oysters this is a great place to go. This is also a good place for all kinds of seafood. I have never had anything here that I didn't really enjoy. The food here tends to be a little on the spicy side, so if you are a person who likes their food on the bland side, you might want to avoid this one. The restaurant is a little on the expensive side, at least for the Westbank, so if you are on a budget you may want to go somewhere else. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: I was excited to try Fellini's today because I had noticed that a lot of yelpers check in here and it sounded like a good location for lunch. So, I went today for lunch and the place was pretty empty. I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich which came with a side of pasta salad. Ok, so the sandwich wasn't anything amazing and I've had better pasta salad, but for lunch it wasn't bad. I'm giving this place four stars for a few other reasons. There is outdoor seating on a lovely patio. It seems like a great place to have lunch with girlfriends, sip wine and watch the world go by. Another good thing about it, although the place is small, there is a nice size parking lot. One of my biggest pet peeves of other "cafe" type places is lack of parking or super small lots. Yeah, service was slow, but that's not a huge deal. I sat at my table and read the latest issue of the "New Orleans Levee". -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Oh, Fridays, why did you mess with a good thing, when you changed your Caesar salad dressing? I LOVED the old dressing. What the heck is this new Caesar vinaigrette dressing you have now?? It's no where near as good as the old creamy Caesar dressing was. I FINALLY found a Caesar dressing that I LOVED and you change it! I'm so let down. I understand that you might want to offer a healthier option, when it comes to dressing, but could you offer both the vinaigrette and the creamy one? When all I'm having for lunch is a salad and soup, I'm really not counting calories. 4 stars, still, because I do like the food and it is really super cheap. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: I love the Bulldog, because of their vast beer selection and pretty good food. The Bulldog mid city is not my regular "home base", but it does have it's high points. It's bigger than the Uptown location, which I know that some people would prefer. It's much better for bigger groups, because if you have a big group at the other Bulldog, you pretty much have to either get there early and get a table or sit on the patio. This Bulldog has a really nice patio area. I like the way it's decorated with the lanterns and the lights. This venue has more of a "lounge" feel to it. It's definitely a different vibe than the other one. I'm giving it 4 stars, only because my personal preference is a place that is a little more intimate, but that's just personal opinion. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: The same owners as the old Parasols. HUGE place, delicious food and awesome atmosphere. Great place to go see a game, because they have a huge projector screen. I have only been twice, but both times I got a wonderful roast beef po boy. You can even eat outside! One star knocked off for not taking credit cards (although, I get why they don't...one less thing to worry about.). I will definitely be going back! -
Marielle’s 1-star review: My boyfriend and I went here a while ago and it was a disaster. First of all, one of the fries for one of the meals weren't ready, so of course we had to pull up and wait for the other fries to be cooked. But, of course, while we wait, our food (and the other order of fries) is cooling rapidly. Finally, We get our fries and go home. Well, sure enough not only is one order of fries ICE cold, but they completely messed up our order. The burgers only had SOME of the stuff that was supposed to be on them! What were we supposed to do at this point?? Get in the car and go back over there?? Yeah, right. My boyfriend tried to contact the company (as they tell you to do) through the website, but of course, he never heard back. I'm not really a fan of Wendy's at all, but this experience guaranteed that I will not be returning.

Marielle’s 3-star review: Knocking them down two stars, because they've gone down hill. The now only have chocolate donuts on the weekends and not during the week. I've never heard of such a thing. Even the donuts they do have really aren't all that great. I think I'm going to be going to Terrytown Donuts from here on out. Sorry, boo. -
Marielle’s 5-star review: I love The Grocery! I just wish they were open later. I guess with food this good, you can close when you darn well please. I have a friend who lives within walking distance of The Grocery, and when we are hanging at his house for the Uptown parades, The Grocery is a must. They have the best pressed sandwiches ever and my favorite is the pressed ham. There is always a line during parade season, so be patient. I have never been inside, I have always just ordered at the window and taken out. I will have to try eating there the next time I go. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: I had completely forgotten that we had gotten take out from here! I got an alligator poboy from this place that was out of this world delicious! I tend to be a pretty adventurous eater, so if you are too, then you have to try it. I've only gotten take out and I haven't been to the actual place, so I can't really review the atmosphere or anything. I'll be sure to update when I go back! -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Someone reviewed this place and called it "a place for tourists", and while this is true, locals shouldn't be afraid to check this place out. First of all, if you go for breakfast, be prepared to wait in a line. This is an extremely popular breakfast place. Whenever I go, it's usually for a late (after 9) dinner. I like the hamburgers. They are prepared on the griddle, right in front of you and they actually toast the hamburger buns in the burger grease. Yeah, it's not the healthiest, but, wow, is it good! This is also the only place that I will actually consume a milkshake. I am sure they are probably 1,000 cals a serving, but it's nice to treat yourself every once in a while. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Wow. It's been over 6 years since my last review and my, how this place has changed. I don't know if there are new owners, but Bulldog is now a full fledged "craft beer" bar. Gone are the days of Budweiser and Coors light on tap. Almost every tap has a local or other craft beer and I couldn't be happier about the change. The entire beer system has been replaced and is shiny and new. There's an extensive menu of draft and bottled craft beer and the beer menu is displayed on one of the tv screens at all times. Bulldog has partnered with Untappd, so you can link your beers to the bar and keep track of what you've tried. I guess because of all of these changes, the vibe here is just different. It doesn't have as much of a college feel as it once had, I think probably because all of their beers are a little pricier than they used to be and most college kids don't have much interest in craft beer. On the night we were here the crowd was definitely a little older than I've seen in the past. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but I get the feeling it is. They still have the kitchen serving the same bar grub that they always had. And much of the decor of the bar is the same, although I did notice that all of the "fake" celeb autograph pics that used to be all over the place are now gone. I like the change, but there's something I'll always miss about the "grittier" Bulldog. This used to be my hang out when I was in my 20's and there was just something about it. That old feeling is gone, but I'm excited that they have gone more into the craft direction and are now a "legit" New Orleans beer bar. I was excited that they had Jucifer on tap, so that made for a happy birthday when I was here celebrating. -
Marielle’s 2-star review: Man, I hate to do it but the 5 star rating I gave this place a few years ago is just embarrassing now. I was here last night and I got a steak burger with cheese and steak fries. I ordered the burger cooked medium and it was way over-cooked. There wasn't even a hint of pink in it at all. AT BEST it was cooked medium-well and that's being generous. My boyfriend's burger was overcooked as well, though not to the extent that mine was. Service was slow and it took forever to get our check at the end of the meal. I can't totally blame the waitress, because she is working the entire dining room alone, but please hire another waitress to get things moving along a bit. Also, this place is dark- really dimly lit. I feel like I'm eating dinner in an old bar room. I don't know, I really liked them the first time I went after the reopen, the second time I was underwhelmed but chalked it up to an off night, but last night was the night that I finally had to put my foot down and say "enough is enough". -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Yeah. yeah. I know. Most people go here for breakfast. Hey, I was one of those people too. I always got the "quick two egg breakfast" whenever I happened to be here, no matter what time. Getting anything else but pancakes or eggs at a place with "pancakes" in the title just seems...wrong. Well, one day I was there for lunch My boyfriend got his usual french toast, but I wanted something else. I wanted to try actual lunch food. So, I decided to try the pot roast melt, and oh, what the heck, I'll have some onion rings on the side. Oh. My. Gah. It was soooo good. I haven't ordered anything else since I had this. There is no going back for me. I have even turned my boyfriend into a pot roast sandwich fan. They are FANTASTIC! -
Marielle’s 5-star review: Oh my God! I am way overdue for an Avenue Pub update! Since my last review, I have become a bit of a beer connoisseur and I know a good beer when I taste one. Not only does Ave Pub have revolving taps, but the owner Polly is always sure to have an abundance of delicious brews in bottles for her patrons to sample. I love the Pub because the bartenders are always super friendly, even if you are a beer novice and you need a little help figuring out what you like. I love this place not only for the beer, but the balcony and the fact that it is open 24 hours. It also doesn't hurt that one of my bestest friends, Liam works the graveyard shift a lot of nights. If you are service industry, head in here after work and you will be treated right. Oh and it helps that Ave Pub has a kitchen. Not sure what time it closes, so you might want to do your research before you plan on munching here. Just a note: the dump truck fries are legendary. Will I go back? Uh...yeah. Always. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: I can't believe I have never reviewed this place! No trip to mid city is complete without a trip to Parkway. In my opinion, they make some of the most perfect po boys in the city. Whenever I go, I usually get a shrimp po boy, fully dressed. I usually eat at the bar, when I go, because I find the service to be faster. Or, I will order at the bar and take my food outside when I get it. Also a great place to get a good poboy, a beer, and watch the game. -
Marielle’s 5-star review: Although I am still a huge fan of the muffulettas here, I just had to update after getting the shrimp platter this past Friday. It's kind of a cosmic joke here in New Orleans: during Lent, we Catholics aren't allowed to eat meat, so we have to "settle" for delicious fried seafood. We came here for that very reason. My boyfriend had told me how great the fish and shrimp platters are, so I was down to see what it was all about. I got the shrimp platter (butterfly) with two sides- french fries and red beans. The platter was about $14 and I thought that price was decent- and then the food came out. WOW. The butterfly shrimp are HUGE and plentiful! They were perfectly fried and very tasty. I loved the fries- they had the perfect amount of "crisp" to them and the red beans were out of this world good. I only had to add a little bit of hot sauce to give it that "kick" that i like. The shrimp platter was well worth the price (especially since you get your choice of two sides), and I would get it again. -
Marielle’s 3-star review: My friend Scott and I decided to stop here on our way to some Uptown parades. I had never been here before, so I was excited to try it. The first thing that impressed me was the fantastic selection of different sandwiches and wraps. They have everything from chicken to tuna to vegetarian options. They also have salads. I'm not sure what Scott ordered, but he decided to go with a "small" (6 inch) pressed sandwich. I decided on a "small" chicken caesar wrap. I really liked mine, and Scott and I both agreed that it was a good snack. If I were to go back, I would definitely get a "large", because the small is good for a little munch, but if you are looking for an actual meal, then you are going to want a little bit more. It's a good healthy option, if you are in the mood for a sandwich that isn't a po boy. -
Marielle’s 2-star review: My boyfriend and I got lunch here a few months ago, after a trip to the zoo, and we were both majorly underwhelmed. First of all, I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. When I got it, there was no cheese on my ham and cheese. I probably should have complained, but I was super hungry, so I just decided to eat it. It wasn't anything special. It was pretty much a ham sandwich that I could have made at home, yet it was 8 bucks. My mac and cheese was watery and flavorless. I can't remember what my boyfriend got, but he wasn't overly impressed, either. I had never been there before, but he had and said that the quality of food had gone down considerably. -
Marielle’s 4-star review: Great food and they actually carry Kroenenbourg! Can you believe it?? I have never had a dish here that I didn't like. I usually get the muffaletta calzone! Mmmm....so good! The "Sweep the floor" breadsticks are another fave. This location is HUGE, so if you have a big group, they can accomodate you and it is walking distance from good Quarter bars.
