The Schooner Saloon — Restaurant in New Orleans

As an out of towner I just popped in off the street by luck. Jamie was tending bar (extremely personable and also one of the owners) and set me up with a couple of cold drinks. I had the BBQ shrimp sandwich for lunch — and it was impressive. I ended up speaking to Robin who was the head chef there. He gave me a full background on their menu and general philosophy toward food (fresh, imaginative, and local!). Jamie actually told me that they’re best known for their cheese steaks and actually have their bread brought in from Philadelphia.

If you find yourself in the French Quarter and need refreshed or fed at a high level from an authentic New Orleans establishment, the Schooner is your place. Period. ...

At 4.9 stars, this might be the most underrated bar in the Quarter. We were looking for a place to watch football and got lucky when we saw the TVs inside and popped in. We had a round, ate some schooner fries, then left to walk around and get dinner. We liked it so much we came back later for more drinks. When they start serving knockout Italian food like the lady with the solemn face, we’ll stay all day. With ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service (funny, sarcastic bartender included), and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ chill atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon and evening, this place deserves more than five stars overall. This is a bar with food rating, not a...

The Gumbo was great. The raspberry cake balls tasted stale. The rueben rolls were blan. Being Irish and German, sauerkraut is too be tangy, this was flat.

The bartender/waiter was not very attentive with just a few people in the place. He put a couples check right over mine. The order was correct but the bill reflected two meals in addition to my order. It only took him 10min to fix the bill.

Also, being a bartender can be difficult but you suck it up, or an occasional smile on ur face and be pleasant with your patron. Remember, they don't need u, u need them.

Won't...
