“ Perfect neighborhood bar! While it was a Wednesday night I believe they only had 1 bartender. They have daily specials ANDDDD they serve food. I didn't try the food but I saw plenty of people eating. There is one pool table, a few digital slot machines, and outside seating. I wouldn't recommend for a big party that wants to sit together as it does have narrow walkways. ”
“ Bomb lemon pepper wings if you are looking for some. The wings were also a decent size for the price. Also had the waffles fries which were great. Unsure of the prices of drinks. They have drink specials also. Whoever was on the aux was doing their thing also. Great jams and multiple TVs ”
“ My favorite dive bar Very much a neighborhood feel. Most people are in their late 20s to early 40s. Music is always on point. And for bar food, pretty good! And lots of options. If I could live here, I would. ”
“ Stopped in to throw darts. Good selection of beers. Ordered fries which were really good. Bartenders were quick even with it being pretty busy. ”
“ The Evangeline Lounge is a nice bar tucked away in Mid City. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious. I had my fav, a margarita, and it was definitely made with love. We were so hungry when we got there so we were going to just orderbsome fries. The cook suggested the boudin egg rolls and boy am I glad she did, they were so good. The fries are waffle fries, not Chick-fil-A but like so much better! Sorta along the lines of if Rally's fries were waffled. I will definitely be back, you can watch all the games on their many tvs, play pool, or come grab a bite and chill with friends. ”
“ Great place to hang out! Love the vibe!! Great drinks ! Fun Mardi Gras stop before Endymion rolls! ”
“ Really great neighborhood bar with killer bartenders and one hell of a kitchen. I'd go just for the ambience. I walked in for the first time a few weeks back to find an old friend behind the bar and the people sitting at the bar were some of my regulars. Easily sat down and felt like I was home. Don't skip on Big Little Kitchen. They're in the back killing it!!!! ”
“ This is a bar post covid where you can go and still feel like things will be ok. And the oysters are fing fantastic. Bartenders are great, people are friendly, its basically what we are about here in the big easy. In times of adversity its nice to let loose and feel at ease. ”
