Felix's has been by favorite stop for oysters since the early 80's. We visited twice during our last NOLA trip. The oyster shuckers are still very friendly, but the rest of the staff didn't care if we were there or not. Maybe even preferring that they weren't busy. The food was still very good, but I have to say that... More

My husband and I stopped in at Felix's Oyster Bar after laughing at the people standing in line just across the street at Acme's. We were a little sceptical since there was no crowd at Felix's but shouldn't have worried. After finding out that Acme's passes out COUPONS for diner discounts, it all made sense. Felix's raw oysters were amazing,... More

I have been traveling to New Orleans for approximately 50 years. I always make it a point to have lunch at Felix's. I did the same on a recent trip. The resturant was busy that day but I got a table quickly. The server came and took my order. After some lengthy wait, the server returned with my bowl of... More

When u go to an oyster bar get oysters! It amazes me the people disappointed in a meal when they don't get what a place does best. You go here if you want oysters. Period. I had chargrilled oysters and my husband had raw. They were great. I highly recommend chargrilled oysters here. This is a bourbon st place so... More

My first time at Felixs will not be my last! I was recommended to come here to try the chargrilled oysters by several people and so Glad I did. Smaller little diner/bar that was very casual with fast friendly attentive staff. Right Off Bourbon Street and kid friendly. We enjoyed the chargrilled Oysters so much and crawfish cakes too that...

This was my first try at Oysters, so I don't have much to compare to, but I was a fan after trying them at Felix's! The food and service were great! The interior was a little smokey but we didn't seem to smell after leaving. We also waited in a bit of a line to get in, but it seemed... More

We were disappointed with our lunch. My Caesar salad was pretty good but the fried oysters on top were not quite cooked. My husband's gumbo was bland. Some people would enjoy the "vibe" but for us it was too loud.

This place was recommended by a New Orleans native. She told me that Felix's is just as good as the popular place across the street, the one with the huge line waiting to get in! And it certainly was good, very busy, very basic but good food and excellent service. The only negative was an extremely loud table of drunken... More

Rolled into NOLA and within 45 minutes of touchdown was at the oyster bar at Felix's. Was back again a couple of evenings later for many more HUGE oysters. Just standing there talking to Thomas, eating these incredible fresh oysters, (and the BEST chargrilled in town) sipping an Abita and watching the people stand in line for hours across the... More
