Love it here. Everyone's always so chill. Its got the small local diner feel. And my wife is Ciliac and they have quite a few gluten free options so we'll keep coming back!

Waited 10 mins after sitting to meet a server, then 45 minutes for a simple breakfast to arrive. Order was wrong (eggs undercooked, several listed ingredients missing), food was totally flavorless and covered in enough grease to start a fire. Oh, and basic breakfast dishes are $20. For the love of god, save your time, money, and intestinal tract and head somewhere else :(

Renata, who made our food, has a GIFT. I felt family and love in every bite of my meal. Besides the food being so delicious and everyone involved in the process of our meal being so so so great, I really needed Renata to know that she is deeply gifted and I was so grateful to experience it

Came to slim Goodies based on a recommendation, service was okay cuz they checked in and brought us food and refilled coffee, not water, but they did refill coffee. Atmosphere was heavily impacted by the extra loud employee in the bunny ears who just kept hollering at random intervals. The worst part though was, not an hour after eating, my sister had the most authentic New Orleans experience cuz she had to stop and throw up in someone's bushes due to food poisoning. Would not recommend anything that had crawfish etouffee. This was the worst meal we had in New Orleans and that was before the food poisoning. 0/10, would not recommend.
Update: Called and spoke to the manager, who was very apologetic and reassured is about temperature checks and offered to buy another meal and ultimately did not charge us for the meal that made my sister sick. So, big 👍🏻 for trying to make it right

I live part time in the Irish Channel and I’ve been coming here every year over the past twelve plus years. The past couple of years the prices have way surpassed the rate of inflation and are beyond ridiculously high for at best average food. I ordered a breakfast today which u would get the similar Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast from $6.99 to $8.99 elsewhere is almost double here and over $20 with coffee The biggest ripoff even with the price increase they don’t give any bread anymore even white bread toast which @ least Denny’s or any reputable breakfast establishment gives you as a breakfast staple. I’m not cheap and to put it nicely far from poor but this is the last time I step into this greedy establishment. Your wallet/pocketbook have been warned my good friends.
