  This place is ok. Service was decent and the food was ok. It's basically a bar and seafood spot.

  We just happened to find this place on a whim visiting new Orleans. The service was absolutely excellent. She was on top of everything and very cool to talk to. The food was excellent. We were told we should order the fried green bell peppers and we loved them so much we ordered more. One of the kitchen chefs came out and asked did we want them any other way or did we like them as is. They were amazing 😍. We ordered quite a bit of food and the price was surprisingly inexpensive. Very much recommend.

  We had patronized Frankie and Johnny's for years because of their excellent chargrilled oysters. Whenever we visited New Orleans, it was one of our first stops. When we arrived for a late lunch last week, the restaurant was nearly empty. The reception from both the hostess and waitress was noticeably unfriendly, but we were looking forward to a favorite dish and thought little of it. Unfortunately, the chargrilled oysters that arrived were nothing like what we had enjoyed on previous visits. Instead of being sizzling hot, they were served at room temperature and had a gritty texture. Because we had not visited in several years, we wondered whether the preparation had changed and ate them anyway. When paying our check, my husband asked whether there had been a change in how the oysters were prepared, since, for one thing, they had not been served hot. The waitress's dismissive response was simply, "Well, they're put on the grill." Later that day, members of our party became violently ill. We cannot say with certainty what caused it, but the condition of those oysters was very concerning, especially given that shellfish should be handled with great care. A few days later, we summoned up our courage and visited the famous Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter, where we ordered chargrilled oysters again. There, they arrived sizzling hot, and grit-free, exactly as we remembered this type of dish should be served. As longtime patrons, we found this experience deeply disappointing. Based on this visit, we will not be returning.
