Milk Bar

So sad to see the location near me closing! Had the shrimply the best and clooney’s choice — bread was delicious, sandwiches were perfect in my opinion. Milkshakes were thinner than I usually like but still delicious (had the chocolate and banana).

I’m very sad that this location is closing. The sandwiches are the best. I’m especially into the bread, which is simultaneously large AND soft. I recently had my lips plumped and was still able to easily devour the sandwich.

I can totally see why this spot is a favorite to the college crowd. Über affordable sandwiches that fill you up or even become seconds for that late night snack you can’t resist when coming home from the bar (again, apologies to my intern for my boyfriend scarfing your sandwich as his own personal midnight snack).
Before said boyfriend had always brought me a sandwich, and it has always been good. They have great bread which, to me, his half the sandwich, literally and figuratively. The ingredients between is pretty darn good as well. But again, when Robert brings me a sammie, it’s usually when I’m hangry and will devour whatever he puts in front of me like a giant man-​eating Audrey II.
This last time I went was my first time in Milk Bar though I stealthily blended in with the college crew in my gym shorts, oversized T and flip-​flops (or so I thought). I was able to see on this visit how dang quirky their menu is, and I love me some puns. I ordered the Occidental Oriental and for me, Shrimply The Best, with sautéed shrimp, pesto, tomato, red onion, mozzarella, and lemon mayo… and a cookie. If I ever call in this sandwich, I promise to play Tina Turner in the background.
While waiting I busied myself with the Cow Economics on the wall. A very interesting lesson. Greeted with my sandwiches not long after (though I did finish that cookie), I took off to enjoy. I do like that they don’t go straight to frying their shrimp on this sandwich and the flavors mesh nicely with sandwich to spare. And I like that they throw a Chupa Chups in there to end the meal right.
I’ll definitely head back over to this nice little Riverbend sandwich shop again soon!

The Christmas in July might be the best sandwich I ever had. They are super nice, and there is a bar right next door… handy.

My boyfriend and I go about once a week, we always order one Clooney’s choice and a large caesar salad which totals at about $ 20. It”s a very local, young, and fresh place filled with delicious food and good vibes. I recommend going after 1, it’s after the lunch rush.

I was a little fooled by the single $ in the description. The Milk Bar barely fits in that category.
I had a great salad here with candied pecans and goat cheese. The smaller portion was more than adequate for my lunch. My strawberry milkshake was a bit watery and lacking in flavor which I was really looking forward to at a place called «Milk Bar.» The sandwiches are HUGE and definitely large enough to split. My sister really enjoyed her Shrimply Delicious sandwich.
Overall, cute little place with counter service for a quick, filling, and very tasty lunch.

OMGheeeee… The «Shrimply The Best» is completely AmazeBalls! This sandwich is Awesome, and the prices make it even better! The Roast Beef PoBoy is Great also!

I like Milk Bar, and was so happy to find their location on Delachaise because it’s closer to where I live! I’ve never been disappointed with my sandwich choices here, and I’ve tried a bunch! I like the gourmet sandwiches the most, like the Christmas in July sandwich and Shrimply the Best. I think Milk Bar makes use of great ingredients, which really sets them apart. I recently discovered their hot po-​boys, and I have to say, they’re an amazing option! They’re actually a dollar or two less in cost than their gourmet sandwiches, but they tend to be bigger and come with just as much flavor, if not more! If you’re up to it, try the Thai Chilli Chicken poboy! It’s made with roast chicken, mozzarella, tomato, red onion, and a delicious Thai sweet chilli sauce — all for $ 8! It’ll make you lick your fingers.

This place is great and off of the bustle of Magazine Street. But not SO far off that it takes you too much out of the way. NOLA has such amazing food, and Magazine Street is no exception… there are a ton of super little restaurants and café’s that are all totally mouthwatering, but kinda on the pricey side…
Milk Bar is no frills, but really reasonably priced and has some of the best sandwiches in the city as far as I’m concerned. The salads are amazing too– they’re big, so if you feel like a lighter option for lunch that’s still going to fill you up its perfect! Most recently I had the Mediterranean Lamb Salad and it was soooo delicious. Highly recommend!

AMAZING AND HUGE SANDWICHES!!!
I had the C looney which was amazing but I couldn’t finish it since it was so big

This place is lovely. Charming and small but inviting. My boyfriend works at the coffee shop around the corner and I went to grab us some sandwiches. I ordered, made an addition to one of my sandwiches and did not get an eye roll from the very friendly girl on the register. I then let her know I was going to the coffee shop and would be back in a few minutes to grab the food. This lovely lady then HAND DELIVERED my sandwiches to the coffee shop once they were ready. So sweet.
We tried the Clooney’s Choice and the I Dream of Aubergenie (add lettuce,
Light on the red peppers.) Both were delicious, warm and toasty, and tasted extremely fresh.
Highly recommended and we will definitely be going back :)

Mouthwatering, extremely satisfying, cheesy, creamy goodness. I chose to walk here from the French Quarter instead of taking the transit system, and while the length of the walk in the heat was tiring, every step was worth it once I got there. The milkshakes are amazing and each one is a unique experience. I got the cloonies choice sandwich which was huge, but so good I ate it in a matter of seconds.
Definitely worth a walk, drive, or ride from anyplace in NOLA. The walk along Magazine Street is especially nice, but takes some will power to not stop at the delicious places along the way.

A colleague was just asking for meal recommendations in NOLA for an upcoming trip and in my top 5 memorable meals was a sandwich place — crazy I know — but this place was that good. I had the psycho chicken. Didn’t event try the milkshakes. The portions are huge — you could split but why would you want to. I highly recommend if you are in the Garden District and hungry.

Delicious and filling! Could have easily saved half my sandwich for later but my self-​control was too in love and had to eat it all! I got the clooney but it was a hard decision — so many options sounded delicious! Cute little sit-​down to gather with friends or by yourself.

We were staying at a nearby hotel and decided to give this a try for lunch. I had the Thai Chicken Po Boy. My husband had the Shirley Valentine and a butterscotch hop shake. Both of us thought the sandwiches were tasty and large enough that we saved half for another day.
The sandwiches were brought to the table in a brown paper bag and each bag contained a lollipop. I got a vanilla and chocolate lollipop and it was great.
Our food arrived quickly, but we just beat the lunch rush.

So, my fiancée and I are in New Orleans on vacation and we decided to head to The Milk Bar as our first destination. Metered parking was easy to find outside the restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we knew we made the right choice. I’m a lover of puns and the cow/​moo puns were certainly flourishing lol. The chalkboard menus on the wall made clear what the big-​ticket items were: the milkshakes. But we were starving so we definitely had to try out the sandwiches.
I ordered the «Shrimply The Best» (sautéed shrimp, pesto, Roma tomatoes, lemon mayonnaise, red onion, mozzarella on ciabatta loaf) and she ordered the «Psycho Chicken» (chicken, pesto, kalamata olives, red onion, mozzarella, Roma tomatoes on ciabatta loaf). I ordered the «Strawberry Fields» shake and she ordered the «Caramel Caramba» shake.
Everything was DELICIOUS! The sandwiches are huge and the shrimp in mine was so fresh. The lemon mayo and pesto combined perfectly on my sandwich while my fiancée considered the chicken and olives to be the star of her sandwich. Both milkshakes were wonderful and full of flavor; we definitely left this meal stuffed. Oh! And they gave us a free sucker along with the meal lol nice touch
We both declared that if we were staying in NOLA for 10 days instead of 5, this would absolutely be a repeat destination. No complaints!

The location was a little hard to locate but if you get off the St. Charles St. trolley at Louisiana St. and find the building just keep circling until you find the entrance. When we walked in there was only one other person waiting, it was 3pm, but the service was welcoming and informative. The girl who took our order had no problem doing substitutions and a special request.

HIT OR MISS
I’m a major fan of their shrimp sandwich «Shrimply the Best» but they tend to stretch ingredients by loading it with tomatoes.
My friend wasn’t impressed with the lamb «Wolf Me Down». He said it was dry and gamey.
And I think that they use canned asparagus in the «Speared Pig» because it often comes out mushy.

Came for the Thai Chili Lamb Po-​Boy; left loving Shrimply the Best.
I stopped in based on a word of mouth suggestion and the reviews. Based on my sense of adventure, I ordered the Thai Chili Lamb Po-​Boy. I don’t love sweets, and I was expecting a spicy, deep flavor. The actual sandwich was mostly sweet, with the remaining flavor profile defined by the cheese. It was filling, and mildly tasty, but I didn’t love it.
I also tried Shrimply the Best, and everything about it was amazing. The bread is flaky and buttery, the shrimp plentiful, and the flavor brilliant. You should absolutely order this, and I will go out of my way to stop by here the next time I’m in New Orleans just to have it.

Milk bar, milk bar.
Beautiful sandwiches, friendly staff in a very convenient location.
Seriously deadly sandwiches, and by deadly I mean AWESOME!
My wife and I both had the Blue Healer, hers however was not on the Ciabatta, but the Po-​Boy roll.
Go for the Ciabatta, it makes a truly sublime taste treat.
Everything in this sandwich plays so well together, it is impossible to dislike it.
The Roast Beef, gravy and mushrooms, pair so well with the blue cheese and the mozzarella
Simply adds a level of mellowness this sandwich needs.
GO try Milk Bar, you’ll be glad you did
