new orleans bar & grill

new restaurant to us. very satisfied with the waitress but the service from the kitchen was pretty slow. waitress was very prompt with refills for drinks but the food was a little slow getting to the table. we had a large group, the food came out in groups of 2 or 3 plates every 10 minutes or so by the time the last person got their food some of us were through eating. that is the only complaint we had. the food was great. all said we would definately go back.

a favorite close to home. my husband and i spent our honeymoon in new orleans, and try to go back once a year for a week or so to enjoy the food and atmosphere. we have been to all kinds of restaurants in new orleans, some good and some we wouldn't return to, but if there's anything consistent about new orleans cajun food, it is inconsistency. that being said, this restaurant located 5 minutes from our home in greensboro encompasses the best of what we loved about dining in new orleans as far as food goes. the decor needs some help, i think everyone can agree. need some wild colors on the walls, aged wood, give it an old bluesy feel, put some nola inspired art on the walls, and add antiques everywhere! the city of new orleans is very old, has tons of character, doesn't get too clean or contemporary, this restaurant should feel the same, so that the scenery matches the food. (i'm an artist myself, so the sensory experience is important to me.)

the food is on the upper part of our pricing scale, so this is a "once in a while, like tax time or anniversary" sort of place for us...as i said, i'm an artist, not to mention we have 4 kids who want to order the shrimp platter, and spending $15 for a 7 year old's dinner seems a bit outrageous to me!

the last time we came in, we got the fried crawfish appetizer, my first time having crawfish, and found it to be soft and fresh. i was expecting a rubbery frozen lobster or shrimp texture, but i was pleasantly surprised. everything we ordered tasted great, and the service was good enough for me to break convention and give more than our usual tip percentage.

love it here, just fix those boring walls, and turn up the volume on the jazz music!

good meal, friendly & fast service! frankly had i read the other reviews before i was there i might not have gone. don’t let the cheesy no decor put you off. it’s worth going. super friendly mater’d and wait staff almost as friendly. i had shrimp creole, salad and side green beans. pretty basic i know but, it was tasty! i thought the shrimp creole was seasoned just right and it was served hot! the greens beans were dripping in garlic butter just the way i like them. prices seemed reasonable, too.

great service. let me say this; i have never tasted a good jambalaya as i have at this location. i've tried a variety of the dishes here ranging from the crab legs to the po boy sandwich and let me tell you, it doesn't get any better than this outside of new orleans. i go to uncg and was told about this place by my friends who go every week. as a college student i don't have much money to spare, but when i do i don't mind getting a hurricane mixed drink and a brownie with ice cream from this location. i would recommend anyone who's reading this review to give the place a try before making a judgement. one of the most pleasant surprises in my life here in greensboro.

we were lured in by the guy on wendover holding a "free appetizer" sign. when we asked our waiter about the free appetizer before we ordered our entrees, he said we were supposed to get a card from the guy holding the sign to get the free appetizer. since we had however mentioned the guy with the sign, our waiter said he would check with the manager to see if they had any of the appetizer cards in the back and could honor it. apparently the answer was "no" because we never heard another word about it from our waiter until the very end of our meal when he brought the check and a free appetizer card that he said we could use next time we come in. sorry dude, there won't be a next time.

food was also way over-priced and not all that impressive.

overall experience was terrible. i would not recommend this restaurant to anyone....the only good thing about this place is the club on friday and saturday nights....the food was bad and tasted terrible....the drinks were extremely cheap tasting. i ordered a long island and instead of making an authentic long island that fridays, ruby tuesday or red lobster makes we recieved a long island that came from a long island mix. the food tasted like it came from a pan that had another type of food in it before our food was cooked. the food was cold and the waitress and hostess was bad. i would never ever recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time. please do not go to this restaurant you are wasting your money. i usually don't do reviews but i have to post this before someone else goes through what we went through.

i'm from new orleans and not picky about food. this was the worst dinner i've had in a long time. service was great though. i had grilled shrimp and rice thinking that was safe. rice was undercooked and shrimp was almost the same. need to change the name of the restaurant if you can't get rice right. that's what makes new orleans food what it is.

simply bad food, very over priced!. had to try this place, and i knew i was flying against the wind based on the less than superlative reviews from folks who's opinions i respect.the plain red beans and rice ($10.95) was just that - plain! another dish that should be loaded with flavor had almost none.

delicious food, great service, neat atmosphere! will definitely be back!! the crab cakes were so yummy!! serving sizes are definitely worth the price tag!!

came here for a birthday party. had a long wait which is kind of normal for a big party. service was very slow. crazy thing was it was super close to close. the food still took a long time and then it came out cold or luke warm. while the food was decent, i doubt i will be coming back.

don't let the deep purple color of the building turn you off, this place rocks the cajun dishes. the jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice were excellent. the seafood trio could have been a little fresher, but the scampi sauce was heaven. hush puppies and fish and chips not bad either.

really bad food and service. my family went here a few months ago since we are always willing to try a new place for seafood. awful - the food had no taste. i mean seriously - no taste. served lukewarm. took forever. not sure who owns this place but i am surprised that they are still open. i assume they are surviving on bar business? when i was there, quite a few employees were just hanging at the bar drinking. this place is a joke.

not good. ate here in february 2015. waited about 45 minutes for steak that was very fatty and way over cooked. they use the same spice on each seafood item. i would not recommend eating here.

it was dirty inside. the bathroom still has painters tape all over it and is falling apart. it looks like they haven't taken steps to maintain the place.

horrible guest service. was a loyal guest until tonight. will never return due to the poor customer service of brad the manager tonight.

love it. my husband and i chose this place for our date night location. looking at the menu, the prices was what we expected (expensive). but the food was excellent. the garlic mussel was great. i had fried alligator and my husband had the king crab legs. i must say we both was very full when we left. our waitress was very professional and kind. even the manager came but our table to make sure we were ok. i'm very pleased with this restaurant and i like it more then red lobster. will be going back for my birthday.
