they have good steaks too but not to much else. Just steaks,burgers, and booze. Actually the perfect place come to think of it. If your looking for fine dining this isnt the place though

on Canal Street is incredible. They melt in your mouth. Ihave one of those for lunchevery time I go toNew Orleans. Awesome coffee there too. Palace Cafe is one of the Brennan family restaurants.
I also totally agree with the Dragos recommendation. Charbroiled oysters are wonderful and I had some last month while down for a visit. The rest of the menu is pretty good, but not great. If you aren't interested in charbroiled oysters I would look elsewhere.
Other favorites from when I used to live there are Bayona's in the French Quarter. Mr B's Bistro (another Brennan family) in the Quarter. If you are with your significant other, Sunday Brunch at Commander's Palace in the Garden District is a real treat.
There are so many great places, but those are some of my personal favorites.

2nd Deanie's. Fried shrimp&catfish platter is more food than one human should ever eat. Ask them for some potatoes from the crawfish boil... oh man, they serve them with butter.

reason. Well, I take that back. You CAN go there, but only if you intend to kick the "chef" squarely in the junk.
That place is the epitome of turrible. Decent live music, food is absolute horseshit.
Maspero's is a good choice for lunch.

Staybridge, 3.5* rooms at a great price, next to Mothers and parking, right by the casino (also means easy to catch a cab if you're too lazy to walk, like me). if you don't want to spend the $ to stay right in the French Quarter, and also don't want a sketchy place, then i don't think there's a better place.

I've lived Uptown for awhile now, and my main rule is to avoid Bourbon. Now I know when people come here, including those coming for the SEC tournament, getting away from Downtown is seemingly impossible. There are some really awesome bars (and most with more character than the some French Quarter bars) Uptown and in Mid-City, but let's face it, If you're a tourist your feel like you shouldn't leave the Quarter or the CBD. Most of you will feel the need to drink on Bourbon,and see all the drunk flat bills throwing up on each other, so I'll try tostay away from reccomending any Uptown or Mid-City establsihments.
Get the hand grenades and Hurricanes (no matter what anybody says, Pat O's is not where locals hang out) out of your system then head to Jean Lafitte's (the oldest bar in America). Just be weary of the few blocks of rainbow colored flags in between the busy part of Bourbon and Lafitte's.
If you do want to go to a local watering hole, I'd suggest the Chart Room. High Life is always ridiculous cheap here.
If you really get the urge to go all Jersey Shore on us, head one block off Bourbon Street to Gold Mine. Get a flaming Dr. Pepper and jam out toyour late 90's rap mix. It is guaranteed to be on repeat there.
If you're feeling like you need an excellentcocktail at a not-so-decent price, head to Bombay Club, Bar Tonique, or the Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone. Get yourself a Vesper, Vieux Carre, or Sazerac, and get you lady-friend a French 75 or Ramos Gin Fizz. Trust me.
I second Frenchmen for REAL New Orleans live music, and would also reccomend the bars (Molly's on the Market, Pravda, etc.) on Lower Decatur. I think this is one of the most underrated portions of the French Quarter.
While we're on Decatur, I'd hit up Coop's Place for the rabbit jambalaya. If you catch yourself day-drinking (which most of us probably will), save your self some money, and stop by Sidney's Wine Cellar, and get yourself a sixpack of Abita Jockamo in cans. You can thank me later.
After the game Thursday, head over to Vaughan's Lounge in the Bywater (PLEASE DO NOT WALK) to catch Kermit Ruffin's and some of the best Red Beans you'll ever eat cooked by Kermit himself. There's a small cover charge , but drinks are cheap, and the beans are free.
Anything Donald Link (Cochon, Cochon Butcher, Herbsaint)does is ridiculously good. I'd go for the rabbit and dumplings at Cochon, and the Bacon Melt with Greensor Pork Belly Sandwich at Cochon Butcher.
The same can be said for John Besh (August, Besh Steak, Borgne, Luke, Domenica, American Sector, Soda Shop)does is always going to be good. Luke has a happy hour with 1/2 price drinks and $0.50 oysters EVERYDAY from 3:00- 6:00. Same goes for Domenica- 1/2 price drinks and the best pizza you'll ever eat for only $6.00. American sector has $0.75 short-rib sliders and meat pies, and 1/2 price drinks from 3:00 -6:00 as well.
Any of the Brennan's restaurants, well, beisdes the original Brennan's, are always excellent (Bourbon House, Redfish Grill, Cafe Adelaide, Mr. B's, etc.). Palace Cafe and Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse are also on this list, and bothhave$5.00 spiked Arnold Palmers, and $5.00 appetizersfrom 5:00 - 7:00.
If you want to gorge on fried seafood and you want to **** your pants 2 hours later, hit up Deanie's Seafood.
Skip Acme and Felix's and get your oyster fix with 2 dozen charbroiled oysters from Drago's.
An oft-overlooked restaurant in the CBD (where some of you will be staying) is Capdeville. The truffled mac & cheese and any of their burgers are awesome. I think they're better than Yo Mama's or Port of Call.
My all time personal favorite restaurant is Green Goddess. It won't be foreveryone, but for those adventurous eaters, it is excellent. Do yourself a favor and get the tasting menu.
My favorite brucnh in The Quarter just so happens to be the cheapest. EAT over on Dauphine has the best grillades and grits I've ever had and they're BYOB.
I'm cheating a little on this one, but it's well worth it. On Fridays at 2:00Uptown on Tchoupitoulas (hey, I told you I was cheating), NOLA Brewery does a free tour, with all the beer you can drink until 3:30. It's gotten pretty popular, so be prepared to wait a few minutes on a beer- go ahead and mix the Irish Channel Stout, and Hopitoulas. Remember, it's FREE.
In summary, my major rules:
Mardi Gras is over. Don't go buying beads thinking you're about to make a cameo on Girls Gone Wild: Bourbon Street.
If there is a guy trying to usher you into the restaurant from the street, or there is a plate with food covered by cellophane sitting outside the door, please don't eat there.
Drinklocal (Abita, Bayou Teche, NOLA, Heiner Brau, Old New Orleans Rum.
People are passionate about their food and drink down here, so this thread could go on all year. Hell, I could go on all day about the 5 block radius of bars and restaurants around my house. If anybody has any questions about a particular restaurant or bar, PM me (especially if you want to venture into Uptown or Mid-City.

My last trip to New Orleans was for the Jazz Festival the spring before Katrina. There was a restaurant in the French Quarter where Decatur splits. The eating area was under a canopy and the tables were wrought iron. I don't know if it's still there but they had the best gumbo I had while there. The only place I can find online now in the area is Market Cafe. It looks a little fancier now.
If you've been drinking on Bourbon St all night then go to the pizza joint on Bourbon. It's probably cardboard pizza but at 3 in the morning you'll swear it's the best pizza ever. Of course I don't remember the name of it either. If I was awake I had something with alcohol in my hand so names are a little fuzzy.

I know I'll catch heat from a lotta folks for this, but I'd say there are probably a couple dozen better places to get poboys etc than Mothers. It doesn't suck or anything, just not outstanding.
Like Rendezvous, it can be a "fun" experience, and it's the type of place people not from there will ask you if you went to. I guess due to being on Travel Channel or whatever all the time.
