Very tasty food and reasonable prices as well! Our server was very attentive and friendly and always checked to make sure we had everything we need. The chargrilled Oysters were great, loved that smoky flavor the came along with all the toppings. We had the bienville and Rockefeller mix and both were quite tasty, I think I preferred the Rockefeller slightly more, but the Bienville are popular here so I had to try it out.
My wife and I hadn't been to the Lakefront Felix's in quite a while. We won't make that mistake again. The food and service were excellent. Our server, Mary, made the experience most pleasurable, and the whole staff was attentive. Your employees seem to work with (not against ) one another; we have not recently had such an experience in other restaurants. Good food seems to taste even better with good service.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. I visit New Orleans once a year and I always make sure that I stop by here. The second floor of the restaurant is my favorite. You have a beautiful view. Service is good. Food is delicious. Definitely recommend.
After many years of visiting this lovely city, Felix's is still my go to for char broiled oysters! Can't get enough of theur cheesy mixture they generously encase their large plump oysters in and broil to perfection. The best part is dipping the po boy bread they also slather in this goodness and breaking it up and having it soak up the remaining juices on the plate before devouring it as well! Love that they offer a trio sampler of their jambalaya, etoufee and red beans & rice! And their grits & shrimp is also a must order! For some roughage you can't go wrong with their side order of Brussels and their cole slaw. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, this location is about 12 min away by car is perfect since it's right on the water with both indoor and outdoor seating with the perfect views too! Ya just gotta go!!
I came to Felix straight from the airport for my first meal in NOLA—and it was the perfect way to start the trip. The location is great, with a beautiful view of the harbor. I sat facing the patio just as the sun was setting, which made the whole experience even better. My waitress, Mary, was super friendly and attentive. She gave some great recommendations that really hit the spot. I went with the oyster du jour—fried oysters topped with a creamy crawfish sauce—and a trio plate with jambalaya, red beans and rice, and etouffee. Everything was packed with flavor. I sipped on a classic Pimm’s Cup while enjoying the view and the food—total summer vibes. Highly recommend this place for the view, the service, and some seriously good Cajun cooking.
We came to this location for the happy hour deals on the oysters and had a really great time! 1 oysters or 1.50 chargrilled oysters. The food here is very delicious, the rooftop area is very nice overlooking the water, and the service is excellent. We tried the bread pudding and it was also very good.
Great oyster happy hour! Deals on raw, chargrilled, and draft beers baby. What else you need? Indoor seating with AC and a water view. Chargrilled oysters were some of the best I’ve had in a while.
Jessica our waitress was very prompt, knowledgeable, and kind during our first visit here. We came during happy hour, secured a great outdoor table, ordered 2 dozens of the chargrilled oysters and the crab dip— would definitely recommend and come back again!! The chargrilled oysters were delicious— I prefer them here at Felix’s better than other touristy hotspots around NOLA. They were great portions too for happy hour. We ended up getting two and a half dozen! The crab dip was also very flavorful and fresh. The house made chips made it even better. We couldn’t even wait to take a pic first for the review before digging in. So good! The outdoor patio area was nice and breezy, it started to rain during our meal but we were nice and covered from being bothered by the weather. Overall my favorite dining experience while visiting NOLA!
