    The food, service, and overall ezperience at Bon Ton Prime Rib were outstanding. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. While the prime rib is the star the menu includes a number of creative options. Be sure to try the puffed corn casserole, you'll be glad you did. We highly recommend Bon Ton and will eat there again when we're in New Orleans.

    The food was amazing! We ordered the bbq shrimp, wedge salad, onion rings, and prime rib. Every dish was seasoned well & cooked to perfection. The corner booth in the bar was perfect for privacy and people watching. Samuel was a great waiter! He was personable, attentive, and made great recommendations. We’re looking forward to going back the next time we’re in Nola.

    My favorite is the filet medium rare, the stone crab claws and the mac and cheese!! Service and cocktails are amazing. Free valet, but do not forget to tip.

    We shared the 32 oz prime rib and loaded potato. We were disappointed. For an expensive piece of meat, it was thick and presented well but it was NOT tender, hard to cut with knife. It could have been juicier and warmer. The loaded potato and bread were great.

    Amazing food. Great service and one of the best steaks I have had in my life. Portions were large!! All of the dishes were top notch. If your looking for desert the butter cake knocked our socks off. It is a little pricey but worth it!!

    Trae took such good care of our party of 6. Prime rib, filet, and crab meat were ordered with sides galore. Crawfish mac and cheese, fries, brocccoli, and the puffed corn casserole.
