    This is where the locals go. The food is always amazing. You can never go wrong with the fish or salad and gumbo. And the bread pudding!!! Same room and you will not be disappointed.

    Yes Olde College Inn is a good to restaurant for NOLA's Uptown locals. It's a great spot for dinner and if you so feel inclined, walk through the Parking lot to, Rock 'n Bowl. The food is awesome. The waitstaff is friendly, attentive and professional. The prices are medium.

    The food is exceptional. One of the best restaurants to get great Creole and Cajun food. Everything about Ye Old College Inn is superb. You will love the ambiance, the big cocktails, service and delicious food. Do try the fried green tomato and shrimp romulade po boy, a winner. Also the breaded veal cutlet plate reminds you of food your Mawmaw would make for you. I had the special, a pecan crusted puffy drum with a crawfish tomato cream sauce. Probably the best fish dish I’ve ever had in my life. My new go to spot.

    You feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. The service is seamless, on the spot and helpful. The menu is varied and the food can’t be beaten…especially not for the very reasonable prices.

    My sisters and I, coming back to New Orleans for a memory lane tour, remember stopping here after school when it was a drive up. The food did not disappoint- just delicious and I’d recommend it widely!
