WOW Cafe and Wingery

This place was an amazing find –Ashley the manager /​bartender was simply delightful and friendly with excellent service. Mike the GM would even customize your dinner for you and for a bar /​restaurant inside a hotel don’t let it fool you; the food was top notch and far better than a lot of the places we went to on our trip. Ashley and Stephanie make the best Bloody Mary I have ever had, and Austin the waiter and Daytona the waitress were extremely accommodating too. Don’t pass this place by ! Thanks to everyone there — just because of the staff here i would stay in the Doubletree on my next visit!

Service was not terrible but extremely slow. Came in for a quick bite before work and ended up being 15 minutes late because I waited 20 minutes for the server to process my payment. While eating, three tables walked out because food took too long. Good game day environment but everything is just TOO SLOW!

In town for no reason at all, a few fellow Redskins fans and I decided to catch the game. There were 8 of us. We walked the French Quarter for an hour to no avail. Finally we stumble on Wow and we’re surprised to see the place relatively empty with plenty of seating and several TVs. Hoorah! As I looked around, I noticed the Redskins game was not on even though there were plenty of TVs. I was then told that the manager refused to change to our channel even though there were few competing patrons there. In comes Corey to save the day!!! This big teddy bear of a host made sure he found us a private space and got our game, on promto. He waited on us hand and foot and apologized profusely. He should be made the manager! I’m grateful good customer service is alive and well. Thanks again Corey!!! The three stars were given because the food is just average.

I loved this place! I ordered the crab cake special and the portion was so large I could only finish half. The manager was amazing. So knowledgable and kind. He even let me torch my own crème brûlée! My family all loved their meals also. Our waiter was very friendly to top it all off. Definitely recommend.

Do yourself a favor and walk a block or two down the road. The food here was all reheated processed crap. The wings had a good flavor, but the first batch came out undercooked, and the second batch was burned.

Took 10 minutes to get some water and they forgot two of our group members food order.

Not a bad late-​night stop, my friend and I walked in from the casino and straight out to the bar. The bartender, Lindsey, was very friendly and quick to get us our drinks and menus. Mini was well-​rounded and had plenty of options. I had a chicken Caesar and my friend had a burger. He was not necessarily impressed with the burger, but my chicken Caesar, blackened, had a nice flavor to it.
Bar had a decent selection of draft beers to include local brews.
All in all, a decent experience with friendly waitstaff and bartenders. Nothing incredible about the food but everything you should expect from such place.

Awesome food and great Bar. Best Wings in town!!! I loved the fried pickles and Gumbo. I ate the Shrimp Poboy. They were the winners of the Poboy Festival which was very Impressive. The beer selection was, WOW!!! My wife had the Washington Salad and it was awesome!!! Highly recommend!!!

I wouldn’t give it any stars if that was an option. Horrible service. Took me over 20 minutes to get a second drink, which was more than ridiculous since I was at the bar and it was clear that my drink was empty. It took them another 20 minutes to switch kegs. Lots of time was spent gabbing with each other and just standing around by staff. Only chose this restaurant because I was staying at the hotel and because the football game was about to start and I didn’t want to miss it. Not worth ever visiting!

Just ate breakfast here: Wow Benedict. Andouille sausage on top of French bread, and two hard boiled eggs, smothered in Hollandaise and side of hash browns. Yes, hard boiled eggs. Did I miss that on the description? Ok, it’s my fault I didn’t think to make reservations at the two restaurants that had lines going out the door.

Our server John was great. But we were extremely Frustrated to watch 6 – 7 other employees stand sound, talking LOUDLY while we waited for service. Our server was working his ass off but was the only one. He even has to squeeze thru the other employees to get to his table. When we first arrived, we asked to sit in the dining room (vs the bar) but was told it was closed. Then after an elderly couple was sat in there, we moved to the dining room. Food took awhile and suddenly everyone started working !! Then what looked like a manager then what looked like the chef came out so everyone started working — for a few minutes anyway. My husband had the burger that was super flavorful. I had the blackened snapper that was ok. The tartar sauce looked like ranch. We appreciate John but would not return.

Great service, great food. Every time I come, even when they’re slammed, they treat me like family. Highly recommend the wings and all the sauces!

This place can easily be a four star on Unilocal with some better quality ingredients. The service was pretty good, and fir a small hotel restaurant they have 20 beers on tap that’s a huge win in my books. The beer selection is a little deceiving though, because they have four on tab at the bar and the rest behind the bar. So be sure to check out the full options.
I got the quesadilla for brunch with a pretty wicked hang over, and the cheese was extremely bland. The quesadilla overall was in the extreme lyrics bad catagory, and the manager needs to look into some betters quality cheese. I would suggest looking at a burger though. My friends said that they were excellent.

So it’s HOT and muggy out, and we’re looking for mid afternoon sweet potato fries and cocktails. Ducked in here, hit the spot. Hummus was also a surprise — really tasted house made and yummy.
What kicked this super casual sports bar in a hotel place from 3 stars to 4 stars was our server — also the bartender — Lindsey. She was so so friendly and sweet. Very quick service, attentive. :)

The worst food that we had while visiting in New Orleans. Had the nachos, pass unless you like cafeteria chili and movie theater queso. Service was average.

It was a rainy night and Wow is next door to our hotel. We sat down in Wow and I looked at the reviews. I almost left. From the start the service was excellent. This was in direct contrast to the reviews. The waitress was very attentive as well as the maître D. They were polite and engaging .
The food was okay nothing special but substantial. I had the ribs they were well prepared and the half slab was filling. My wife had the fried shrimp PO Boy and that was good too.
We stayed dry and were happy we stayed

This the restaurant in my hotel and we had breakfast here because it was convenient. You have a choice of ordering off of the menu, having the full buffet which had hot items or choosing the continental buffet which is cereals, fruit and the like.
They weren’t busy at all when we stopped but it still took 10+ minutes to get a server and some coffee. When she finally did stop, she said «Hi, my name is (server name) — let me know if you need anything!» And she walked away. Ummm… we need to place AN ORDER and need some DRINKS…
Anyway, we both ended up with the continental buffet since we didn’t have all day. It was pretty pathetic even as hotel buffets go. Supposedly, there was fresh fruit, but all I saw was tiny containers of strawberries and bananas for cereal. I had to bypass a few bowls in the stack of dishes because they were dirty.
We never saw our server again — ever. Because we had breakfast vouchers, we just left them on the table and left after waiting around forever. I didn’t expect much knowing it’s a hotel restaurant and «wingery» (gag) but they still managed to disappoint.
I’d like to suggest some alternative names for this place:
«Wow! The service is incredibly slow here!»
«Wow! This place sucks even for a hotel restaurant!»
«Wow! You CAN have a bad meal in New Orleans!»
«Wow! The staff here is really great at standing around!»
Just don’t go here.

Hungry after leaving the Pelicans game this restaurant was not far from where we were staying. Prices definitely more than Buffalo Wild Wings, however their wings are meatier and larger. This place is ok for what it offered wings and bar food. This restaurant us located in a doubletree hotel, it had so nice modern look. We tried the Cajun wings just ok. Their buffalo wings just ok, although their blue cheese appeared fresh. Favorite wings where the chili mustard Chinese wings. All n all this place is what you would expect from a wings place.

Got some coffee from this place and I guess I could say I had better as far as the restaurant side I still need to try.

Nasty. Poor service and poor food.
