Reviews for Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar in New Orleans, LA

Fantastic service. Oysters are delicious. Their seafood sauce is the best we?ve tasted anywhere. The other dishes were also... extremely tasty. It is a very busy place but it moves. Be careful when you arrive close to closing time. They will cut the lineoff prior to closing. This is a must try when you?re in NOLA. Competitive prices and high quality seafood. Read more

Popular spot, so I'd get there ahead of time because of the wait. It's worth it! The pasta and oysters are delicious & filling.... Oddly enough, I tried a small piece of fried alligator for the first time and it was pretty decent. My friends devoured that andthe seafood gumbo. The chicken sandwich was basic but a good, safe option, so I would recommend it, as well. My friends tooksome tequila shots before we headed out to explore more of Bourbon street! Read more

We went to this place to try their oysters and it was definitely fresh!! They brought their oysters with ice too which I... appreciate! I wish they would have cleaned their oyster shells more because every time I put my mouth.. I can taste the dirt andit?s grainy. The baked/grilled oysters were delicious too. Read more

For those trying oysters- COME HERE! We came here our first night in NOLA- tried raw, fried and par-broiled. My favorite was... the par-broiled by FAR! Otis as the bar was so helpful and hospitable. He gave us a few raw on the house just to try it out-With a cracker and lemon ???? ???????? and the signature cocktail sauce. Sauce had just the right kick. We came a second timejust because it was such a great experience. *The blackened alligator was awesome! Seasoned ???????? (do not bother getting themfried ????) Also had the rum Sunset Cocktail in a fishbowl. ???????? Shared it between two and still got a buzz. Don?t botherwaiting in line. Go around the corner and they will seat you right away at the bar. Otis is at the raw oyster bar ???? Read more

One of the best places in French Quarters for char-grilled oysters. It was so good, I came back a second time during my stay... here at NO. The staff were friendly and the food didn?t take long to get to our table. We waited about 15-20 min tops. I wouldhighly recommend the oysters shooters, raw oysters and the char-grilled oysters. Those were the best items on the menu and whatFelix?s is famous for. As for the gumbo, do not order it. It was way too salty and it came to me cold. Hence the reason whythey lost one star. Read more

I only come here for the Char Grilled oysters. They did not disappoint. Freshly cooked, seasoned and perfect butter champagne... sauce over the bread. I tried stuffed red fish with crab..it was overly charred... The other photo on is the sample platter goodbut not enough. Read more

We are in New Orleans for the weekend?..Felix constantly had a long line at the door but we really wanted to try it??We went for... lunch and were seated upstairs on the balcony??We loved it!! And decided to go again the next day for dinner?.We tried rawoysters, charbroiled oysters, shrimp, jambalaya and etoufee?The food was absolutely the best!!! The lines are actually not toobad and they go pretty fast. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because there are two sides of the restaurant, one isslightly more updated than the other, but they could both use a little updating? also, the menus were not very clean??. Butotherwise, it?s a place to try! Read more

Ask for V, she was amazing. Very attentive and everything came out quick. The restaurant was loud and fun atmosphere just... everyone having fun including the staff. V made our trip worth it and the food was hot and delicious on top of the service wereceived. Immediately felt like part of the family. Must order char broiled oysters (of course the one dish I forgot to take apicture of). Wish they gave us more bread for that sauce. Our group was 7 people and V made sure each of us got what we wantedand had enough to eat. Everyone loved the alligator bites and red beans were amazing! Read more
