Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Metairie

"Known for their craft cocktails and upscale scene, Cure is a popular Freret Street spot. The little courtyard outside has guests surrounded by lush greenery and candlelight. On a nice night, ending with a nightcap sazerac here will have you wanting to stick around New Orleans foreva-eva."

"Familiarize yourself with the house rules (no baseball caps or shorts, boys) before heading over to this schmancy cocktail bar on a happening little strip Uptown. The space, a reclaimed firehouse, is spacious and sharp. Small plates are carefully prepared and served late."

"You can’t go wrong with a date night at this swanky Freret Street spot with a critically-acclaimed bar program. Enjoy some good tunes and conversation by candlelight at Cure. Plus, if you get a little hungry, check the bar menu for light bites."

"Liuzza's by The Track is a local gem famous around the city - the country, maybe even the world - for its gumbo. Made with a dark roux base, this gumbo is packed with freshly cooked seafood, homemade local sausage, 13 spices and a few secret ingredients. Your chicken finger and french fry experts will be happy with some of the best chicken fingers featured on a local kid's menu – definitely not from a freezer bag, plump and juicy."

"In a city that's po'boy proud, Liuzza's at the Track stands out from the crowd, thanks to the house specialty, a buttery, Worcestershire-fueled gi-normous portion of gulf shrimp slathered between a hot and crusty roll. It's called barbecue shrimp, but there's really nothing barbecued about it. Save room for the gumbo."

"Call Liuzza’s directly at to order the famous gumbo, barbecue shrimp po-boy, or garlic oyster po-boy, all stuffed to the brim with seafood. Curbside pickup or local delivery in Mid City."

"This breakfast and lunch spot is a local favorite on Magazine Street. Slim Goodies serves classic comfort food with bold twists, all made with fresh ingredients (and lots of love). Everyone loves the slammers: hash browns slathered in something delicious – think crawfish étouffée or chili with bacon and cheddar cheese – but the sweet potato pancakes are not to be missed."

"Slim Goodies Diner is a dive-y diner located in the Garden District/Irish Channel portion of Magazine Street in New Orleans. The venue has a retro feel with the old Coke signs, red leather booths and counter stools. Breakfast/brunch is the specialty here, and waits can be long if you come at peak times, say around 10 am."

"Biscuits & Buns on Banks is a casual coffee shop with lovely sidewalk seating that serves all-American cuisine with Creole accents for breakfast and lunch. Located in a renovated house on a pretty tree-lined residential street in the heart of New Orleans, Biscuits & Buns on Banks is owned by a husband-and-wife team whose primary focus is – as the name states – biscuits, and of those, there are many selections. A variety of breakfast dishes and daily specials include French toast with caramelized bananas and pancetta, pulled pork breakfast nachos, pancakes with fresh peaches, and barbecue seafood etouffeé with crawfish or shrimp over house biscuit or creamy grits."

"Enjoy brunch in a cozy neighborhood setting with food selections ranging from simple to savory. Grab simple breakfast items around $3, with higher options peaking at $11. Some menu stand outs include Grilled Brie on Waffles, Fried Andouille Sausage Hash Cakes and Abita Glazed Pot Roast and Debris Jus."

"If you’re looking for another late night food takeout in New Orleans, Verti Marte is it. The corner shop is open 24/7 so you can literally swing by whenever. My friend and I stumbled in drunk at 2am and just told the guy behind the counter to give us two boxes of food – one regular and one vegetarian."

"But any effort the owners have failed to expend on stocking the shelves or sprucing up the decor they’ve put into making excellent food. Head to the small counter in the back and make your..."

"Parasol’s is the anchor of the Irish Channel, serving as community center, nexus of gossip and watering hole. It's first and foremost a bar, but you can order some of the best po'boys in town from the barebones... Top ChoiceFrench in Garden, Lower Garden & Central City"

"A photo posted by Камбрия (@kambriat) on Apr 18, 2015 at 2:30pm PDT. Claim to fame: Muffaletta, po’ boys. Cajun eats with a side of sports TV on a Sunday evening –how much better can it get?"

"Parasol's in the Irish Channel, renowned for its gravy, is a perfect stop for an egalitarian roast beef po-boy and beer."

"Don’t order sushi for lunch at Conola, only because it isn’t on the menu. But come dinnertime, and the sushi bar is rolling. It’s a bit of a disconnect, since this place is mostly a Creole/American restaurant, but co-chef/owners/spouses Will and Kinsey Varas make it happen."

"2010 O’Connor St., Gretna, (504) 516-2500; www.badwolfbar.com. A Bad Wolf burger is a quarter-pound patty topped with cheddar and Jack cheeses, hot sausage and a fried egg on a Leidenheimer bun."

"In New Orleans, “lagniappe” (pronounced lan-yap) means “something extra,” and that’s what we’re giving you. Here are a few more places to eat for less, in and outside the Quarter: Remoulade (309 Bourbon St.) is the casual outpost for the more upscale Arnaud’s and a good place to sample Creole flavor; Ray’s On The Ave (2005 N. Broad St.), features authentic Southern comfort food, and New Orleans Cake Café and Bakery (2440 Chartres St.) in the nearby Marigny, offers delicious, inventive breakfast and lunch fare featuring house-made breads, bagels and signature cupcakes. Also in the Marigny, located on the music club-heavy Frenchmen Street, we recommend Mona’s Cafe (Middle Eastern specialties like excellent falafel and kebabs in a super casual setting) and Dat Dog."

"As part of the newish Hotel Peter and Paul, which is located in a nest of buildings associated with a former church, The Elysian Bar has a somewhat ecclesiastical entrance. Classic cocktails skew European, with Campari and gin featuring heavily alongside some nods to tiki. The wine list is short but solid, and the beer list deftly avoids cliches, and there's an aperitivo hour with $10 drinks (from 3pm-6pm daily)."

"Brought to you by the team behind Bacchanal Wine, The Elysian Bar offers a public space with specialty food, drink, and hospitality. Literary expert and leader of the pastry department, Chef Bronwen works diligently to bring savory and sweet goods to this spot located within the Marigny Boutique Hotel, Peter and Paul. Stop by their Aperitivo Hour, 3 p.m."

"This cool renovation of a Catholic church complex includes a lovely center patio for nibbling under the stars. Hotel Peter and Paul features the Elysian Bar, an intimate space run by the smart folks at Bacchanal. Order cocktails and small to medium plates from chef Alex Harrell’s creative menu — the roasted red shrimp is delicious."

"Settle down in this 150-year-old courtyard with lush landscaping for a relaxing bite and a glass of wine (or three). The historic space boasts a romantic ambiance that not even a child in tow can completely ruin. (If the weather isn’t cooperating, the Carriage House offers a rustic alternative.)."

"For a truly unique dining experience in a wonderfully lush French Quarter courtyard, the ever-romantic Cafe Amelie offers an ideal setting for dinner or a leisurely weekend brunch. The courtyard is currently open to reserve for brunch Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11 a.m."

"A Four Seasons pizza includes artichoke hearts, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus and Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Reservations accepted. Lunch and dinner daily."

"The menu is Italian, the ambiance is California, the staff is attentive. Special occasions are always honored at this Magazine Street restaurant where you can share wine, burrata, and the best short rib lasagna you’ll ever have. Opt for a table in the courtyard with the retractable roof if the weather permits."

"I came here the other day for happy hour and had an incredible time...I want to relive this meal over and over again. Until you've been to Avo, you have no idea what you're missing out on!!"

"Head over to Arabella, housed in the space next to Kajun’s Pub on St. Claude Street. Choose your fresh, house-made pasta style, sauce, and any add-ins (gluten-free and vegan options are available for all). There are also small plates and salads."

"This full-service spa is located in the colorful and funky neighborhood of Mid-City, just a couple of miles away from the French Quarter. Woodhouse signature service includes the Signature Minkyti facial which combines organic seaweed to deeply hydrate and nourish the face, and exfoliation to establish and maintain the skin’s pH balance. If you’re in need of a deeply restorative experience, opt for the Woodhouse Escape, with seven specialized treatments that include a dry brush exfoliation, and a full body stone massage, and reflexology."
