Dino’s Bar & Grill

I really enjoy coming to this place. The inside is nicer than what I would expect from the outside, and they do have their own off street lot around back for parking, a big bonus for dining in the cbd. The bartenders are usually pretty attentive and really only ever had one issue which was corrected immediately (a black Russian has 3 ingredients, none of those are chocolate milk). But the food is killer bar food. Tons of burgers and apps to choose from, but my favorite is the filthy fries. Waffle fries covered in cheese and bacon and ranch and it’s delicious. They can be a little pricey for a NOLA bar, but as long as those filthy fries are on the menu, I’ll be back.

You watch these stars! They’re gonna go down until Dino’s realizes their servers care more about chat’ up their friends than waiting on paying customers. I’ve been working in NOLA for the last 5 months. Dino’s is near the hotel I’ve stayed and has pretty good food for the last minute diner. But the service? Good luck. I’ve visited here 4 times. Every time, I am just more disappointed! Last night I wanted the Dino’s Caesar salad, it very good. I walked in… ordered a beer, never saw the bartender again… just down talking to her friends. Forget it. I’ll come back when it’s under the new ownership after these guys learn its all about how you treat the customers!

Little corner bar and grill with nice staff and good food! Check out the Tuesday steak special, walking distance from several hotels and off to the outskirts from the quarter of you’re looking for a quaint spot away from the party atmosphere of the quarter

Went here with three others for dinner one night — well actually for crawfish, but ended up eating other things. We sat outside at one of maybe two or three tables, which was really nice. Our waitress seemed really irritated that she was, in fact, a server, so that was a little off-​putting. The crawfish were delicious and nicely seasoned (but get there relatively early on boil nights and they were selling out by the time we left). I had the fish sandwich — the fish was cooked at the temp I asked — bonus points for this — but it was almost tasteless. No seasoning or anything — I actually put ketchup on it for some added flavor. My husband had the burger, which he really enjoyed. Overall, nothing special unless you’re just coming for crawfish.

I’m in town for a conference and just checked into the hotel. I’m starving. This is the closest place according to my handy Unilocal map so here I am. I order a coke and a grilled chicken Caesar salad wrap. It takes forever! There are four other customers here. Two ordered after me and their food comes out first. They ordered burgers which seems to be the specialty here. Im now on my second coke… I hate it when I have to ask for another drink when a) I’m sitting at the bar, and b) there’s no one in here. I also ask if my order is going to take any longer… For which I got a dirty look but when she went to check — surprise! My food! It was hot and freshly prepared although the Caesar was more mayonnaisey than I’d like. The wait time and poor service are why the three stars, but overall the wrap was pretty good.

I ate the Dino’s Chili Cheese burger, best burger I’ve had in a very long time. The jack of all trades Blythe took care of us, as she single-​handedly took care of the rest of the bar and tables in the whole place! It was the weekend before Christmas and it was fairly busy at 11pm Saturday night when we arrived. Blythe didnt make us wait at all as she handled our requests with finesse and speed. Thanks for the awesome experience Dino’s keep it up!

Great burgers and cold beer

Dino’s went through a change of owner a year or two ago. The burger quality declined while a nearby competitor’s improved. So, we hadn’t been to Dino’s in a while.
Update: The «new» owner really has banned smoking indoors and the ancient smoke smell has finally died-​out. Which resulted in all of those cute college-​age girls with long hair returning.
Burgers were very, very good last night. Waitress, «Alice» was nice, cute, & attentive.
Waffle fries were crisp & fresh. Bottled beer couldda been colder.
All-​in-​all, a good dining experience; and, Dino’s is back on our once or twice a month list.
As an elderly married man, I surely enjoyed the scenery; must have been 8 or 9 cute single girls to every single guy! I knew it was gonna be good when my Wife, looking over my shoulder, said: ‘That girl is really pretty, but those tiny pants are just too small for her to wear in public!“
The menu has been expanded, so that Dino’s is more of a «Bistro» type establishment now. A good meal fro two, 2 semi-​cold beer, 2 cocktails, and a 20+% tip was all less than $ 50. A real DEAL !
Caveats: As management insists on one of the front doors staying propped-​open, smoke from outdoor sidewalk tables wafts back in, heavily to first table. Parking can be a real problem. The sidewalk dining can be a real treat in the Fall.
See Y’all at Dino’s !

Awesome place. Hold our business meetings here always. Fun, private, professional. All people in the warehouse district should come here. The staff is hot and wonderful. Owner is very accommodating and fun to be with.

First time I have eaten at the restaurant. Absolutely terrible service. Arrived around 8pm and ordered the special thinking it would not take long to prepare. Took an hour to cook and deliver to the bar. Waitress never came to check on me or apologize for the delay. Would not recommend this place at all.

URBAN HONKYTONK: this is the kind of Bar (+food) where hunky contractors hang out after work, local gentry pick up late night take-​out, regulars are known by name; and, true to genre, all are adroitly serviced by a flirtatious waitress in «hooterish» short shorts.
MEH BURGER IS PRICIER THAN NEARBY PHIL’S. My cheeseburger was tasty but the bun was Sysco-​like, with waffle fries it totaled $ 10.25. If it’s a Grill (+bar) that you’re interested in, by far the best price/​value is Phil’s build-​your-​own with a side for $ 9.75 just blocks away.
KINDA THE WHD’S FINN MC COOL’S but without the the suffocating cigarette smoke. Go to drink, eat elsewhere.

Excellent neighborhood pub! Friendly bartender, great drinks and the food was delish. DH had the grilled tuna salad… The menu describes it as sashimi grade, and it absolutely is! Some of the best grilled tuna we have ever had. I had the veggie wrap which sounds boring, but the grilled mushrooms and peppers w the chilled lettuce in the warm spinach wrap was incredibly flavorful. We left perfectly satiated and happy.

Went here late night new orleans (one of the only places to get food after 10pm, oddly enough). Typical bar food, friendly bartender. Reason for the 5 stars: THE SPINACH DIP! Kudos to the chef!

Cool neighborhood bar. Never too crowded, no smoking allowed which is a definite plus. Great drinks and not pricey at all.

Great bar in the warehouse district. It has a «regular» crowd vibe because even on the weekend its not crazy crowded. People seem to come and grab a drink and go elsewhere. I come her mainly for one thing. The dirty fries. After a night of drinking its simply magical. They have a great DJ on Saturday nights and will play anything you request by Twitter.

One of my fav, Warehouse District Bars.
Great bartenders, excellent prices.
On Sat they have a DJ.

This is the place to be if you are down by the convention center or looking for a place to go for a meeting, late night meetup, or just want to look at the beautiful bartenders and wait staff. Food is excellent and is ready in a short amount of time, even when they are slammed during lunch and dinner hours…
The have music there Friday and Saturday nights, which is a great start to going out at night… Go check it out, you wont be sorry…

I like this place. The first time I went I’d been at an event at the Convention Center. A friend and I were in need of frosty beverages and he knew about Dino’s so we went in. We just ordered the two drinks to go and left but I remembered liking the inside of the place, with its dark wood.
A few months later I was working an event in the area and our group met up at Dino’s for supper and drinks. I had the mushroom swiss burger and it was really good. So good in fact that I stopped by the next day for another one when I was in the area!
Service has always been good, even when we were in our big group. My only complaint is that they allow smoking, but during the day it wasn’t too bad.

Once again I stand by my review from the previous visit. Late night visit and in need of some good bar food to satisfy a little hunger after a night of partying or a great play this is the place.
Food is very good bar food. Drinks are nice and strong. And the wait staff is friendly and competent.
And I do usually run into people I know as was the case last night.

Never been, always wanted to go b/​c I’ve seen the sign for years. Finally got to go with a cool group of people and it was a lot of fun. The drinks were really reasonable and all of the food that I had was delicious (Cordon Bleu Sandwich, Spinach Dip, Feta triangles).
It’s a dark kind of place that is perfect for groups of people or just a couple OR just someone looking to drown their sorrows. How do I know? B/​c that was what was in there, dammit.
We had a lot of fun there and I will go back.
