how about mandenas in midcity

I was going to post this, but I dunno if I would consider it a holw in the wall. I try to eat there everytime I'm in N.O.. Went there a few weeks ago and Archie was a couple of tables from us.

We used to go to Jack Dempsey's on the corner of Dauphine amd Poland. Good, cheap seafood. Is it still there across from the base?

Well -- no one has defined what is considered a hole in the wall -- I definitely try to eat there when in town -- while not the most sophisticated seafood in the city -- nice value for tasty dishes -- I especially like it when they serve the soft shell crabs with the crawfish etoufee sauce on top --

My 2 favorites are Charlies Steakhouse on Dryades St. I hear there closed right now but they have the best steaks and Mandina's on Canal St.has my favorite appetizer sauteed crab fingers..HMMMM!!! I miss home:sad_sad::sad_sad:

Spitale's- Great po-boys and lunch specials
Swamp Room- Awesome burger and cheese fries

The Taco Bell on S Clearview Pkwy. Is it still there?

I say coops place. mmmmmmmmmmm.

Coops Place was the first hole-in-the-wall restaurant I thought of when I read the title to this thread. Great minds think alike. Coops has awesome Seafood Gumbo and Rabbit and Sausage Jambalaya! Reasonably priced too.

Fredericks on St. Charles & Poydras.

 

[DomePatrol2005]

went there today and had the Jambalaya Supreme-- it might have been one of (if not THE) best restaurant jambalaya i've had.. superb.

I see the thread is back for support of coops. Great. The crawfish tasso alfredo is my favorite.

Rocky and Carlo's.
One time I watched a 300lb lady carry a 20lb block of lard under her armpit, and then throw it in the fryer.

Great food, and the claw machine was great fun as a kid. We used to go to Rocky and Carlo's after every highschool football game almost.

"The Swamp Room" on Veterans for burgers....

I made it there for the first time, last night. I'd JUST eaten at Bennigan's, though.

fiorella's, adolfo's, johnny's poboys

(don't know if any of these would qualify as hole-in-the-wall)

Fiorella's for sure is one of my favorite hole-in-the-wall places!

Also, Parasol's in the Irish Channel makes a great poboy!
