Great Louisiana shrimp poboy. We split a large and it was a lot of sandwich. The fried potato salad and honey butter biscuit were also deelish. Great service too! :)

There are so many restaurants to chose from in New Orleans, and if you’re like me, you don’t want to choose wrong! Well, you can’t with Avery’s on Tulane. Staff was the perfect amount of friendly and on top of everything. The portions were generous, and although at a glance our table looked like we ordered everything on the menu, we actually only ordered an appetizer and two meals. We got the seafood gumbo to start… totally banging!!! I’m not a seafood lover and I wanted a second, and third bite. We got the buffalo shrimp and oyster platters for entrees with sides of red beans and rice, honey butter biscuits, and fries. Fries were fries, but the other sides were outstanding. The biscuit doubled as dessert, which was great since I’m a sucker for a sweet treat. We would definitely go back and bring friends!

This place is a find. The food is delicious and plentiful. There are vegan options, and they can even accommodate shellfish allergies, which can be hard to do in New Orleans. I had the chicken po boy, with all the dressings, and Cajun fries. The fries were hot, fresh, and delicious, and the bread for the po boy was crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. I’m almost reluctant to share this, because I don’t want it to be overrun!

Found Avery’s on Unilocal. Food was VERY delicious and filling. I had a buffalo shrimp poboy and the fried potato salad. Our server was amazing! Will definitely be coming back if I’m in the area again.

Avery’s has become one of our must-visits in NOLA. We went TWICE on this particular trip. It was every bit as good as remembered. On our second visit this trip, the waitress remembered our orders and even our drinks! We are taking home a mix of the chicken/sausage and seafood gumbos and of course the honey butter biscuits for dinner again! If you haven’t tried Avery’s yet, what are you waiting for?

Wow. Just got back from this place and I’m barely awake to write a review(the itus struggle is real). It was awesome! Started out with the fried mushrooms and then got the special — fried catfish topped with crawfish in a remoulade sauce. It came with coleslaw, mac and cheese and a honey butter biscuit(which tasted more like a donut), all of which were amazing. The dipping sauces(tartar, horseradish cream and remoulade) were pretty much worth the trip by themselves and portions were huge. On top of that, the waitress was super friendly and helpful, convincing me to get to special instead of a poboy(which I was told were also very good, but glad I went with her suggestion). If I weren’t leaving Nola today, I would be eating there for the rest of my stay

This is my first time in New Orleans, and I never had authentic Cajun food. My friend and I got two coffees, three sides(fried mushroom, oyster dip, and seafood gumbo), and one 6-inch sandwich(an oyster sandwich called Pearl River); after tax and tip, the total only came out to $ 40 and it was a LOT of food. The seafood tasted fresh and all of the flavors were absolutely amazing. The service was really good, and the food came out pretty fast. What we ordered tasted amazing, and I think that this place is definitely worth the drive out of the way from the French Quarter and Uptown!

This was my first visit to New Orleans ever. Avery’s is a little off the beaten path, but it’s worth an über or a short ride. The area around the restaurant is a little less than desirable, but don’t let that deter you from visiting. You are given a lot of bread to start the meal and it comes with oil to dip the bread into. The bread is very good! Don’t eat too much! I ordered a buffalo shrimp po’boy and it was awesome! It beat the heck out of the other sandwiches I had during my visit. I also ordered seafood gumbo. The seafood gumbo was so good! My biggest recommendation is don’t eat too much bread to start your meal and come very hungry. This place is an absolute must visit in New Orleans. The people are also very friendly here. Service is excellent.

Avery’s has the food you came to New Orleans for. Amazing, fresh seafood served by a friendly staff, and away from the tourist throngs. We stopped by for brunch on a Tuesday morning, and parked conveniently in the lot behind the place. The place was pretty empty, which was a pleasant change from most our experience in the Quarter. We ordered the seafood gumbo, the grilled barbecue po-boy and a creole shrimp special. Everything was perfect. I’ll single out the po-boy for special praise. A ton of perfectly cooked shrimp stuff in a carved bread. This is what a po-boy should taste like!

My group and I actually stumbled upon Avery’s through Unilocal!At first we were a little taken aback by the«Cheers» dark bar style interior, but it was 3:00 and slow and we were starving. Most of us got the lunch special which was a very hearty catfish, fries, honey biscuits and mac and cheese for $ 8. That was an incredible deal. The only disappointment was that the catfish were small strips not large fillets and could’ve used a little more seasoning, but otherwise it was good. The honey biscuit was amazing, nice warm buttery biscuit drenched in sweet pure honey… mmmm awesome. The mac and cheese was good and I opted for sweet potato fries which was also very tasty. Some of the ladies in our group also ordered their seafood gumbo. If you ever have a chance to try their seafood gumbo… I say GOFORIT… it was AMAZING!!! From the outside Avery’s wasn’t much to look at, but the food and price was definitely worth the visit. *no beer on tap. only bottled beer

If I could give this place more stars I would! Avery’s is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans, the only spot where I’ve loved every bite of everything I’ve tried. It’s always hard to decide what to get, but some of my favorites are the BBQ shrimp po-boy, seafood gumbo and any pasta special they may have. It is a special place and you will not be disappointed. The hot sauce shelf is very cute and fun. The service is incredible, the owners seem to really care about the customers. Don’t bother getting food in the Quarter, this is the real deal!

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place on our way out of New Orleans. We wanted something authentic and decided to check it out based on the reviews. The parking was a pain since there was construction, but boy was it worth the trouble! We ordered the Oyster dip appetizer based on our servers recommendation. It was super good! Not too heavy. Which is great for a dip and it had big chunks of oysters. We also ordered the buffalo shrimp po boy and the oyster Po boy that has bacon and au jois. Both were amazing! We were very pleased with everything. Highly recommend!

Me and my sis stopped in here the other afternoon for a snack— we wanted to try something new. We checked Unilocal reviews and saw that this place had fried potato salad. That caught our attention… So, the interior of the place is small and dive-y, with kitchen and small bar in the back. There was some really cool, local-made artwork on the walls, which was a nice NOLA touch. Aside from me and my sister, there was no one else in the place, which is usually a bad sign, but fortunately for us, the food and service was the cats pajamas. We ordered– fried potato salad, fried catfish poboy, vegan bean burger, cajun fries, and CHAMPAGNE. The food came out fast, was reasonably priced, and super flavorful. My sis really loved her bean sandwich. Bathroom was clean and had more local artwork! I would definitely recommend this place for a quick and cheap lunch/dinner. Only thing that could have made it better– better tasting ranch dressing(for our fries).

DELICIOUSAND A GREATATMOSPHERE! It is usually hard to find both. The staff is friendly. I feel like family every time I go! A great variety of traditional New Orleans food with an Avery’s twist and some amazing Avery’s Originals like the red beans and rice burger!

Came in for dinner on a Saturday night. We were the only table other than a couple folks at the bar. The service was friendly and attentive. The have some really unique sounding items on the menu that I’d definitely go back to try. We started with a fried potato salad, gumbo, and oyster Rockefeller dip. The fired potato salad is an interesting idea, though perhaps more of a novelty item. It was good enough, but not much is added by frying it. My fiancé enjoyed her gumbo, though perhaps a touch to much file’. We didn’t care for the oyster dip very much. It was quite earthy tasting, and slightly thin, which made it not super appetizing. At a cost of nearly $ 10, I muscled through about half of it. We also shared a honey butter biscuit, which was yummy. For our entrees, I got the pearl river po-boy, and my fiancé had the fried shrimp plate with sweet potato fries and fried pickles. The po-boy was delicious. The roast beef debris was really flavorful and with the bacon and fried oysters, was just excellent. Make sure you get extra napkins, you will need them! My fiancé enjoyed the shrimp and the house made tartare sauce.

BLUF: Good poboy place with a little extra character. They catered an event we went to once and had pumpkin ravioli. I thought the place was fancy but it is a standard fried food and poboy place. They did not have the ravioli on the menu but said they were trying to get it to be permanent. Started with the fried pickles. We got the half order which was perfect for 2 people. Very fresh. Awesome. We got the poboys and they were great. Poboys are poboys. She got the shrimp/oyster and it was great. I got the oyster but this one had roast beef gravy too. It was really great. Good gravy and not too much. Messy but not too messy. Perfect really. I liked the poboy bread too; not too crunchy but not doughy. Great service(a little slow which was weird since we were the only people there almost). Good place for poboys if that is what you are looking for.

The smaller 6 inch poboy offering is much appreciated. After tax, it runs $ 8.50. Not a bargain. The staff are very polite and were doing a great job keeping up with the lunch rush. Despite a full house, I still got my poboy in about 10 maybe 15 mins. The kitchen obviously prioritizes and doesn’t just put out 1 ticket at a time. I really wanted some if their gumbo but $ 5 for a cup added to my $ 8 poboy was a bit steep for lunch. Smaller shrimp but there were just enough for the 6 inch poboy. Well seasoned. Averys is a solid choice!

Such wonderful service! Delicious food. I felt like I was eating a home cooked meal that was made with positive energy that wasn’t rushed. I ordered the BBQ shrimp po boy and seafood gumbo. Delicious! My boyfriend ordered the creole gumbo — divine as well. I am more of a seafood person so I didn’t like it as much as the one that I ordered. The menu had a large selection, they accepted credit cards, and weren’t overly crowded. The décor was intriguing. I didn’t leave feeling overly full and sick(like most of the places in NOLA). I recommend this restaurant to anyone that’s visiting. It cost about $ 30 total to take a cab there and back from our hotel. The cab fare is the downside. I probably would have had several meals here if it was within walking distance from our hotel. Again, worth it!

Found this hidden gem on Unilocal and loved it! Fried Mushrooms were delicious and I will be back for the Cajun shrimp Alfredo pasta again and again! We also had the shrimp remoulade salad which was beautiful to look at and super tasty! Great service and atmosphere. Glad we stumbled upon it!

The most affordable and some of the best food can be found outside of the touristy areas. Décor is cute, artwork all around. My crew and I had our«last meal in NOLA» here. Ordered the shrimp creole(mmm tasty!), red beans x2(good but I’m not a huge bean fan), seafood gumbo(good, but really fishy), and two orders of their honey butter biscuits… which was collectively our favorite part of the meal. We all made a WHAT!!! face when we had our first bites… it was heavenly. And, the garlic bread that came with our gumbo and creole dish were sooooo good. Because of our fondness of their bread, we had to order a dessert: bread pudding. It was nutella filled, so let’s just say it was one of the best desserts of my life. Another highlight: for ALL of that food our bill was only $ 30! Staff were super nice. Next time we definitely have to try their specialty: the po-boy’s!

I was scared I was going to get shot coming here but a good shrimp poboy is worth the risk of bodily harm, IMO. I’m on a(slightly crazy) mission to try every shrimp poboy in this fine city of ours and had not tried Avery’s. I decided to forgo my usual fried shrimp poboy and opted for the buffalo shimp instead. I do like buffalo shrimp but really, this one left me underwhelmed. It was good, but not really anything to write home about. But the debris fries? Get your pen ready. AMAZING. Also, Avery’s is very affordable which I love so much because I’m a cheapskate. I’ll be back to try the fried shrimp poboy for sure. Stay tuned…
