Went to Anita's this past Sunday! It's been around for years and sometimes my mom gets nostalgic and wants to go. She loves the liver and onions here. I enjoyed my pancakes and I also got fried chicken tenders which were seasoned well and fried fresh to order.
Ambiance wise it's a greasy spoon. Nothing fancy or pretentious but you're going for the food. My 1 complaint is it was HOT! No AC in 90°+ temperature was nearly intolerable for me. The service was kind of slow but that could be due to the chicken being fried to order.
Last thing to know is they are a cash only establishment. There is an ATM available on siteHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Leigh L.New Orleans, LA03214Jan 30, 2024
Went in this morning to get some breakfast. Service was pretty slow but I wasn't in a hurry. Then I start hearing 2 waitresses and another male employee start yelling at each other. It escalated into full on yelling, name calling, curse words, other employees begging them to stop. Once the male employee went back into the back, the two female employees followed and kept yelling, and it got started up again. It went on for at least 10 minutes.
I do not go to restaurants to be stressed by other people yelling at each other.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 258135410Sep 1, 2023
This was my first time here, but won't be my last! Located on the corner of Tulane & Galvez, this gym is directly across from UMC. I've always passed them and never knew their hours, so I didn't stop.
Today I had time and I'm glad I spent it ordering from the them. The restaurant had the ambiance of a classic diner. It was a very friendly environment and the waitress was ready to take my order. There was a slight wait because the food is made completely fresh (I love that).
I ordered the hamburger steak meal and as I write this, take bites every other sentence. The food is soooo good Im saying "mmm" after every bite. I ordered to go and my bag had all the condiments, jelly, napkins, and salt. I love that they do that without asking, because I always forget to ask. The food is very reasonably priced, which is amazing even with their fame and well known status. I love that they stay true to their formula and stand out from other breakfast places here!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 4242821310Jul 4, 2023
While enroute to another breakfast location, our Uber driver recommended that we eat at this restaurant over our first choice due to the long lines in the heat. She was absolutely correct. This is a mom and pop restaurant that has been around for years. It's located in a neighborhood and I would say a local favorite. My friends and I did not have to wait more than 15 minutes to get a table. I was able to order the steak and eggs with hash browns with a pancake on the side. Everything was seasoned very well and the flavors reminded me of when my grandmother would cook me breakfast on a Sunday morning before church when i was a child. My only complaint was I requested my steak be cooked to medium and it was cooked well done. Other than that, all my friends enjoyed their meals. I thoroughly enjoyed sampling the liver and onions. This place is definitely a keeper and a New Orleans gem.

My first time at Anita's before going to the Saints game on Sunday. Instantly when you walk in, you smell the food. I ordered the eggs and bacon. The eggs and bacon comes with two eggs, three strips of bacon, hash browns, and toast. And it was delicious! The staff was friendly and the service was quick, but it is cash only. I will definitely be back!

The fried chicken, the hamburger steak was out of this world
It felt like eating at grandma's houseHelpful 3Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Denise T.New Orleans, LA131521Nov 8, 2022
Not a whole lot of seating and not as charming as it was before that tv show remodeled the place. It's NOT 24 hours and only takes cash but there is an ATM.
It is, however, the only place I've found that does chunky hash browns. The food is good and reasonably priced. The menu is pretty varied as well. It's not a fancy place but it will fill you up right.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 5, 2022
Best place for down south cooking and southern hospitality. My hubby and I are here the weekend before Christmas. The portions are generous and the food is delicious! I had 3 breakfasts from my one plate. My favorite item is the smothered potatoes. I highly recommend and will be back!
