Vucinovich’s Restaurant

Loved it! Real down-​home place and great food. Love the guy who rang us up and the banter with him… and the food is really great, local cajun style. He told me the special was something that he has ran for 38 years I think he said… and I see why. Great stuff! Gumbo, fried catfish, fried shrimp and fires… for like 13 $ or something. Ridiculous amount of food and so good.
Outside NASA’s Michodud Assembly Facility in semi rough area… you’d probably never go unless going on site with USG, NASA or private companies on site… But worth it!

This off the beaten path place is pretty great. I loved the service and the owner (you’ll know him as soon as you walk in from the accent) was a real sweetheart. We got the debris fries and I had a club sandwich. Portions are huge here and made to order. You might as well get a to go box when you place your order because you will be taking some home for later. Trust me.
It’s one of those places where you order at the counter, are called up to get your food, fill your own drinks and clean your own table kind of spot, so if that’s not your thing go elsewhere. But if you like feeling like you’re eating lunch at your mom and dem’s like I do you will love Vucinovich’s.

Being from a Cajun family I felt right at home. Great atmosphere and delicious authentic food, in right sized (gigantic) portions reminded me of going to my Grandparents. I’m not down here often, but I’ll definitely be eating here for lunch when I am. Staff are fun and friendly. All around great experience.

Huge portions, everything is big enough for a meal and half for mere mortals. The po boys are huge and stuffed full on fresh bread. Always check out the daily special board. The day with spaghetti and fried chicken is the best. The portion of both the spaghetti and the chicken is each enough for its own meal.

This Resturant is the best place for poboys and daily special plates! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Everything made fresh, hot (warmth)and tasty ! The owner is friendly (assuming the man at the counter) and have a good sense of humor! Highly recommend this Resturant !
Hours: Open at 11−2pm
Advice: come early before the crowd

My husband and I are driving to Florida and stopped here for lunch. We got the special: gumbo, gulf shrimp, catfish and fries. It was reasonably priced and the food was amazing! Would definitely stop here again!

Absolutely love this place. Family ran and the man up front (probably the owner) is great! Food is always on point! (Even though it’s only my third time here)

Decent if you want a sloppy po boy or a mountain of fried food for a pretty decent price. Also, what are you doing way out in New Orleans East?

I ordered a veggie sandwich. At first they shocked because they had never made one, as it turned out– she made me one of the best veggie sandwiches I have ever eaten! Great place, worth checking out!

I had a ham poboy, the poboys are big enough for two people or one really hungry person. Every plate served there was brimming with food, weather it was the catfish, chicken fried steak or hamburger. You get your money’s worth by stopping here for lunch. The atmosphere is casual and the two gentlemen taking orders are hilarious. Would definitely go back when we are in town again.

I am in town for business and decided to grab lunch at this place since it was close by. I got the Friday special, which was a large meal for $ 16. The fish and shrimp were good but the gumbo was just alright. I’ll probably check out the other places in the are tomorrow.

The man at the counter offends and annoys me EVERY time I eat at Vucinovich’s. Either he won’t tell me what «PP» is on the salad (turns out it’s Parmesan Peppercorn dressing, and it’s delicious) or he laughs when I call in an order and say ill pick it up in 5 or 10 minutes. Or answering my question about the special by saying with a harrumph, «For the last 35 years, spaghetti…». For most places, I would never go back after a series of experiences like this. But I have to go back here because the food is absolutely delicious, especially the fried oyster dinner, with all salad (ask for no onions) and PP dressing.

There is a reason this lunch only spot is slam packed every day of the work week: the food is off the hook. Today i had the special — bowl of gumbo with fried catfish and shrimp over fries. Some of the best gumbo I’ve had in the NOLA area hands-​down.
Seek it out and check it out. Awesome place.

I’ve lived in N O East for years. Unfortunately this restaurant has been forgotten about, possibly either due to location or lack of adequately getting its name made visible throughout the East. I will however revisit this restaurant. It was not very memorable when I visited several years ago. The food was good though. Thanks Unilocal for the app!

35 years as a restaurant in NO. That speaks for itself. This is where locals go to eat or smart tourists who use Unilocal.
It’s only open for lunch. You can order from the menu or get the daily special. It’s all good. Portion are large and the atmosphere is casual. It’s on the east side of town and a little out of the way but worth it.
My Friday seafood special had crawfish étouffée, fish, shrimp, fries, bread and a drink for $ 15. Most of the menu items are less. This place is worth 4 stars. I recommend.

Real Cajun food!

The daily specials are big enough for two people to share.
Wednesday lunchtime special of spaghetti and a HUGE chicken breast filet
Very limited hours, but worth the trip for lunch.

Okay, I definitely love this play. I knew it would be a prize when the guy behind the register told one of the employees in an authentic local accent put some more cups out baby! So I was excited from there. I had the pleasure to try the chicken livers, with potato salad. Yes, I actually like livers and it was wonderful and fried to perfection. I actually enjoyed my meal. The venue is fairly big so its accommodating for those looking to dine in. If you like fried foods, they do them right here not too hard and not to soft, just right.
I visited during lunch time and they handled the crowds quickly. The place is clean and good things to offer if you just happen to be in Michoud or on your way or back from a visit to Chalmette or even Slidell.

This is a pretty good place for lunch. I had a roast beef po-​boy and an order of fries. The rest of my group had the seafood special, a muffeletta and an order of onion rings. Everyone was pleased with their meal. The po-​boy used the right bread (leidenheimer) and was pretty good. There was only one size for the muffeletta (whole) and it was giant. You definitely won’t leave hungry. It is pretty far away from everything but I would definitely go back if I were out there again.

Vucinovich’s is a real diamond in the rough, and out here in no man’s land, its very rough. Only open for lunch the place makes decent poboys, but the real treasures are the daily specials. Especially when he does fried chicken. The bone on fried chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had.
some of these specials are static: Mondays are red beans, Thursdays are spaghetti, and Fridays are gumbo or Shrimp Creole. The other two days, Russell fixes whatever he damned well pleases
