"This iconic Uptown greasy spoon, which opened in 1946, is known for waits out the door and a slew of diner-fare. That includes a huge breakfast menu with a focus on omelets, as well as grilled pecan pie, the orange Julius, and cheeseburgers. The inside of this legendary Carrollton Avenue diner has a counter with seating that winds through the restaurant." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff
"This 1940s-era Riverbend diner has a countertop that weaves its way through the pink restaurant so diners can perch on stools while they order breakfast or hamburgers. Everything is cooked behind the counter in full view, so the kids are entertained. Save room for Camellia Grill’s chocolate freeze." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
"A truly classic, no-frills diner burger, Camellia Grill’s highly salted six-ounce patty topped with plenty of crisp, cold iceberg lettuce and mayo can hit the spot. Priced at $9 for a basic beef burger, add-ons include lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bacon, or make it a double for another three bucks." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"This diner at the historic location on Carrollton Avenue, with long-time waitstaff, grilled pecan pie, chili galore, and usually a wait out the door, will forever be known as New Orleans’s ultimate greasy spoon.
