Would certainly recommend taking a taxi vs. public transportation if you are staying in the French Quarter. BBQ shrimp po' boy is as good as advertised. Would only recommend sticking to sodas, bottled beer or wine and not going with any liquor or draft drinks as the bar looked pretty outdated. The restaurant is quite quaint and there is not... More

This was my favorite meal of our trip last year, and this year it was again excellent. I ordered the gumbo and bar-b-q shrimp po boy again, even though I rarely order the same thing in a restaurant. It was so good, I just couldn't pass it up. The staff was again super friendly, even though this time I was... More

I went here for lunch with a local colleague. The place was jammed with cops, locals, tourists, and business lunchers, but service was fast and extremely friendly. The shrimp po-boy special of the day was so large that my companion and I could not finish it between us, and it was amazing. Everything on the menu is freshly prepared with... More

After a four hour kayak trip on Bayou St John, Liuzza's was the perfect spot for a bowl of gumbo and a beer. If you are a looking for a local experience Liuzza's is the real thing. Family owned since 1938. The services was fun and friendly. Jimmy the owner was still there hanging out. Love the Abita Amber...was off... More

Hubby and I drove to NOLA for Spring Break, we arrived at lunch and went to straight Liuzza's by the Track, it was so darn good! We each had a shrimp poboy & a bowl of gumbo w/ an Abita Amber from tap. It made the early morning trip from Shreveport so worth it. We also ate At Liuzza's on... More

We went here because of its high ranking and proximity to City Park/Cemetery #1. The locals must be the ones giving this place good reviews. Food was OK to good. Place is filthy. The bathroom was worse than a fraternity's bathroom after a full weekend of partying. Huge portions of the floor linoleum is missing. Table sticky. My po boy... More

I liked the funkiness of the place. Definitely nothing fancy about it. This was not a typical tourist spot. Lots of local people having lunch and very friendly. Food was good and we sat next to locals who were very infomative. they shared some of their appetizers with us which was kind and generous. We ordered and shared the gumbo... More

My nephew introduced this place to me years ago... and when I go to NOLA a couple times a year... it's a must go to place. There are two locations but this one by the Race Track is the one to go to. Although you may have to wait for a seat... it's well worth it! The staff are always... More
