Mr John’s Steakhouse

Awesome dinner; onion rings were very good and flavorful, filet Oscar was cooked perfectly, and the brownie a la mode was sinful. Highly recommended this place but book way in advance…

Solid place. Ordered the Ribeye, but it was overlooked. Waiter brought me a new one. It had good flavor, but oddly not as flavor able as the one he first brought. Overall had an enjoyable experience and would definitely return. All the sides and appetizers were delicious.

I went to Mr. John’s for my birthday dinner during Jazz Fest. The service was wonderful and the steaks were amazing. I enjoyed every bit of my meal. Even though I prefer the sides at Crescent City, the steaks were on par and the service was above and beyond. It’s a pricy treat, but I’ll certainly be back.

Came into this dim lit beautiful restaurant and the smell was absolutely delightful!
I am here celebrating my birthday and the menu has endless mouth watering choices.
My beautiful queen filet mignon with the lump crab meat and I ate the filet blackened with garlic mashed potatoes. Bön appetite!

Why only two stars for the best Steakhouse in the city. My experience compared to New York and Washington DC you can get a little spoiled.
Made reservations for 8:30 didn’t get a table until 8:55 «no big deal just had concert tickets for a 1000 show», didn’t want to plot and trot. Service at the table was at snails pace didn’t even get bread until 10 minutes after we were sat, our waiter had to many tables or staffing levels were very low.
The food! Fried Green Tomatoes with jumbo lump crabmeat was FIYA!!! Had the Porterhouse for two with the lobster tail. Very good quality of meat however, was not seasoned well. The lobster was good and well prepared. Very good cream spinach, no time for wine and desert.

I’ve been passing this place for years on both the streetcar and in my ride. I always said I would check it out but just never had the time or got around to it. Finally I said to myself «go get some steak you fool!» and I went… solo…and glad that I did.
First I love a non-​chain steakhouse. They tend to be old school with wood paneling, classic tiling, and muted lighting. Mr. John’s didn’t disappoint. I walked in and it felt like this place and been around forever, which I love. There were also a few old timers entering, which for me was a good sign. I wasn’t looking for trendy but rather tried-​and-​true. It was actually smaller than I assumed but once I stepped in I knew I was going to have a good meal. Being solo, I moseyed up to the bar and took a seat.
The menu is classic old school steakhouse. I skipped the app as I was getting dessert and ordered some wine. The wines are listed on a board and are by both the bottle and glass. To my surprise they offered me a meatball as an amuse-​bouche. It was delicious and made me realize this was going to be a great meal, which it was. My NY strip was cooked perfectly and my side was also spot on. The dessert, brownie a-​la mode was a perfect ending to a great meal and probably meant for two. I left stuffed. It isn’t cheap but who can, or should, eat like this often. Definitely on my list for a fancy dinner option that is not New Orleansie. I loved it. Got get some steak… you will be glad you did.

Was looking for a great place for a great steak, we were not disappointed! Everyone was so nice and friendly. We had filet mignon, lobster, lobster and shrimp pasta, cheese potatoes, fried green tomatoes and creamed spinach. Everyone loved what they ordered and our waiter was spot on for whatever we needed. Will come again when in Nolens!

Attended a bday party there, and we booked kind of late. We ordered Cowboys steak, lobster, crab cakes, pasta and some desert. Staff was so nice, service was great and food was really good. Had a great time and will be back!

What attracted us to Mr. John’s was their selected and aged steaks and they did not let us down! I don’t even know where to start because everything was amazing. We came here for my husband’s birthday and I think we found a new tradition.
We arrived early for our 7:00 reservation and planned to hang out at the bar, but they were able to seat us when we arrived. The atmosphere is cozy and sophisticated with dim lights and candles on every table. The wait staff is also super friendly and helpful.
First we ordered a bottle of wine and we started with their appetizer special for the night which was a brie and crab dip. The dip was LOADED with crab meat and mixed with the brie it was delicious! I got the petite filet and OMG it melted like butter in my mouth. My husband got the cowboy steak, which was HUGE and took up the whole plate. Don’t ask me how that was though because once I got around to asking for a bite it was already gone. We split the garlic mashed potatoes and the sauteed mushrooms. The potatoes were perfectly creamy and the mushrooms were very tasty. Of course we didn’t stop there, we got dessert too. My husband wanted plain cheesecake and I wanted the chocolate and caramel so our server suggested putting the chocolate and caramel on the side! For a special touch, since it was my husband’s birthday, the cheesecake came with a lit candle on top and I quickly and quietly sang happy birthday!
They also have valet which is always great in the city and our waiter even took our ticket as we were paying the bill so our car was waiting for us when we were done.
This is a must try place!

Fantastic! I had the ribeye and my wife had the filet. Both were cooked to the correct temperature. They do bring the steaks out on a HOT plate, so the steaks stay warm throughout the meal. We also had French onion soup, broccoli au gratin, and garlic mashed. All were very good.
If you are visiting, it is about a $ 10 cab fare (plus tip) each way from Bourbon Street.

So good, can’t get enough of this place. Absolutely delicious. We order the bacon wrapped shrimp, crab cakes, calamari and everything was amazing. Then we order the petite steak and other two different ones and was so full of flavor. As sides we pick the sweet potatoes, taste almost like dessert, mushrooms, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese witch it was to die for, and spinach. Everything was excellent. To finish the diner we order the tiramisu and the pudding I believe. Both were fantastic. I felt like I was about to explode

The food here is all top drawer! We had the onion rings as an appetizer and were very pleased with that flavor, the spice under the coating was excellent. The real treat was the porterhouse for 2, my oh my what a steak! The sizzling butter plates, ala Ruth’s Chris was a welcome touch as well.
I plan on being a frequent visitor to Mr Johns!

Without a doubt some of the finest seafood I have had in a while.
Checked into hotel and was so hungry from not eating all day I decided to stay local. This restaurant is attached to the Wyndham but I’m not sure if the Wyndham owns it.
I ordered the oyster stew which was just unbelievable. I’ve never had a stew quite like it. They served it in a hot pot and then dumped it into your dish or rather soup bowl.
I then ordered the special salad for the evening. It was mixed greens with lump crabmeat, avocado, and I don’t know if it was leeks but it was delicious. It was like a small mountain. They did not skimp on the crab meat!
To top off the main course. I decided on the Pompano with lump crabmeat. I am not a fish fan but, do love pompano. It was served and I thought I received an entire 8 ounce can of lump crabmeat. The fish was huge and underneath was a pile of fresh vegetables sautéed in butter. The seasoning on the fish and crab meat entrée was amazing.
The only complaint I have was asking for lemon for my water and not receiving it after three requests.
The service was amazing. They work in harmony together quite well. They are truly trained professional waiters.
This restaurant is worth the trip to visit even if staying in another area if town. It is not cheap but, worth every penny.

I almost didn’t want to publish a review here bc I didn’t want everyone to know about this place. Sound selfish right? But If I had to choose BEST steak award it has to go to Mr John Steakhouse.
From Paris, Chicago, Houston, Vegas, to New Orleans this place is my favorite steakhouse. Nothing like a place that hand select, cut their own meat, and serve on a sizzlin’ plate!

Both steaks and sevices are absolutely phenomenal! My sister and I went there about 2 times in the past year, and both times are great. We both ordered ribeyes and it was so tender and juicy. It’s definitely best steak in town. Servers are very professional and nice. We will definitely go back.

I went last year for my birthday and enjoyed every second of the meal. They gave us a great table by the window, and everything was perfect. I had the surf and turf (steak and lobster), and it was so delicious! I can’t remember everything we had, but I do remember them coming around with some «tastes» of appetizers, and they gave me a little free dessert. I haven’t eaten at many steakhouses here, but I feel like this one is under-​recommended. I would like to go again soon! The dining room is very small, so I recommend a reservation.
Tip: they serve their steaks on sizzling hot plates with lots of butter, so prepare your clothes beforehand!

As soon as you walk into Mr. John’s Steakhouse, you’ll notice their sophisticated mahogany lined walls, brilliantly lit by soft, unscented candles. The scent that does reach your nose is warm, savory, and scintillating; foreshadowing the steak you’re about to consume. The waiters and waitresses are attentive and available — ready to take your order and provide great recommendations should you have trouble deciding. I usually opt for the filet mignon, and my fiancé goes with the New York strip. We top off our orders with a shareable side (there are so many to choose from) and red wine (Cabernet and Bordeaux) to make for a dinner that combines quality and luxury with masculine elegance. You’re sure to have a lovely time (and an exceptional meal) at Mr. John’s!

This place never fails to impress on quality, price, portion size, gorgeous plating and service. We made reservations well in advance since, I learned that lesson the last time I was in town and wanted to dine here. We had a table on the other side this time which reminded me of a library in an estate home complete with the beautiful wood mantled fire place and furniture to match.
The service once again was flawless thanks to our server Justin (I believe that was his name). I asked him to pick a drink for me and it was a well-​made old fashioned and by well-​made I mean they made it the traditional way and owned it like a boss!
I ordered the Ribeye and it was buttery melt in my mouth just like I expected it to be! I also decided to opt to add on the lobster tail. This tail was cooked so well that I can’t remember having a better one in my life and the portion size was so large that I left with half of my steak. The wedge salad was very large and they informed us that it is a sharing portion so they graciously brought us all side plates to share. I love the attention to detail which included all the normal white glove service you would expect including new silverware being placed after each course and never having an empty glass.
The restrooms were located through the door and off of the hotel lobby. The door was a little tricky to open from the restaurant side but, we finally figured it out. The service is always seamless and quick however they never make you feel rushed and let you chat and enjoy your dinner.
When we finished our meal he thanked us for dining with them and offered to put our wine and cocktails into to go cups for us which we obliged without hesitation. Hey who likes to waste drinks, am I right?
I dine here every time that I am in New Orleans and there is a reason for it; because it is the best of the best in all aspects! True 5+ star dining experiences guaranteed every time!

The best STEAK restaurant in NOLA! Steaks are all made to perfection. From the savory flavors to the tenderness. The porkbelly appetizer is also my number fave.
Dessert: bread pudding and crème brûlée! Yum!

After a LONG cab ride (ok, maybe it just felt like a long time because I was starving and traffic was horrendous), we finally arrived at Mr. John’s Steakhouse, which is adjacent to a hotel.
We had a reservation but the place was fairly empty when we arrived (which changed obviously as the night progressed). The staff here made me feel uncomfortable, primarily because they do not have sparkling personalities. Perhaps they are use to snobby people coming in there, I don’t know, but they really need to loosen up. I will say that we ended up with Adam as a waiter towards the end and he was awesome! Yay for him! There is hope for the others!
For starters, I ordered the Tomato and Mozzarella salad, which was pretty much what you would expect … tomato, mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette. LOL. So far I was not «wowed» by this place.
However, that changed when they brought out my filet on the freakin’ hot ass plate! Wow Wee! I have never had a steak served on a sizzling plate with melted butter on top and if you haven’t either, then you need to get yourself here … STAT! The filet, which I ordered medium rare, just melted in my mouth. Total perfection! This is the 2^nd best steak I have ever had in my life!
We also ordered a side of mac ‘n cheese (that is for hubby) and he and I split some ‘shrooms … and they were pretty good, too!
Now if the staff would just loosen up a bit … they could earn a 5^th star from me.
