The lunch special is a great value and the food was delicious. Service was spot on. I wish the music was toned down, so it was easier to talk and hear. Very clean.

Gallagher's Grill never disappoints. I brought a business associate for lunch and it was her first time. Her and her husband will be driving from Baton Rouge to Covington instead of New Orleans for a weekend dining experience. She was that impressed. The crab cakes sold her!

Had an amazing experience celebrating an anniversary at Mr. B’s. They were so attentive from start to finish, and both our servers were friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the pork tenderloin with black-eyed peas and cabbage. It came out perfectly, and they made sure our glasses were filled. I really appreciated the bubbly and happy anniversary wishes. Will come again!

As a resident of New Orleans, I normally recommend this restaurant to my clients and company visiting New Orleans. My. clients are always happy with their service, so I decided to try it out. It was nice meeting the staff face-to-face that assist me with my reservations. The food was fabulous. We ordered the redfish with pecan topping. OMG! The manager, Marcus Benoit and Katie, the hostess was very accommodating. The servers were awesome!

While the food was spectacular and overall service decent, our server Warren wasn't the friendliest and we had an issue paying the bill. We payed with our Caesars players card, which Ruth Chris accepts, however Warren was quite RUDE when I went to pay for our $500 plus meal.
