City Diner - Metairie, LA


What is open 24/7 and serves a mean breakfast? The answer is simple, City Diner. Although I am not a breakfast person, in reality, it is a necessity of life and not too long after waking up you stomach is going to tell you please feed me. With family in town, it didn't seem right to feed them the the items I compile and call a breakfast so I wanted to take them out.


City Diner offer the typical breakfast items like eggs, bacon and omelets. My sister ordered the Spinach Omelet which was quite good. The portion was huge.


Speaking of huge, if you are going to order pancakes here, please know that it is larger than an XL pizza pie and could feed an entire family of 4 so order with caution if you are by yourself. Their Chocolate Chip variety would be great for the kids.


Besides the food being fresh and surprisingly quality, what I liked about City Diner is that they combine the foods you expect to see with New Orleans classics. An example of this is their Hash Brown creations. I had the one with Crawfish & Andouille. It was very good but is definitely something you can't eat too much of at one time; it had a little too much Cajun cream sauce for my liking. It came with a biscuit on the side which was delicious addition I might add.

Deanie's Seafood - French Quarter - New Orleans, LA


I went to Deanie's Seafood and I just did not like the place. The atmosphere was nice enough. Nothing special but it was clean so that is all the really matters.


The customer service was a bit questionable (lacking). I could ignore that if the food was good but it wasn't.

My niece ordered a pound of boiled Crawfish. The one item they was guaranteed to deliver was over cooked and so the Crawfish tasted slightly rubbery.


I ordered the Stuffed Crab and my sister ordered the Stuffed Shrimp. Not to say it was bad, but it the flavor wasn't very likable. My sister complained that the shrimp was too greasy. The fries and coleslaw it came with wasn't the best either.


My boyfriend had the Shrimp Po Boy and said that the bread was too tough.


I know this is a popular restaurant with multiple locations. It could have possible been an off day but there are too many other places that don't disappoint.

    • Phil Micheal

      please i did not understand you i have bee waiting to hear from you what happen my dear
    • Terresa And-Albert Portal

      If you are working for the US Air Force then you need to go to your superior for the money. My husband and three of my brothers are retired Air Force. You have all the medical benefits you needed for your family and you so there is no need for you to be on here scamming unsuspecting women for money you can get from the US Air Force.
    • Phil Micheal

      how the you mean that am scamming you because i ask you of help that i did not have anybody to help me
      will have sign that when i will be done with my work i will be pay okay just try to believe me
      i need your help very much i wish you will done that of me let me go am save my son
    • Terresa And-Albert Portal

      MEMBERS OF THE US AIR FORCE DO NOT NEED TO BEG FOR MONEY TO PAY MEDICAL BILLS. THE MILITARY HAS THE BEST BENEFITS IN THE WORLD. I AM A US GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE AND LIKE I SAID MY BROTHERS ARE RETIRED MILITARY. WE ALL HAVE MEDICAL BENEFITS TO PAY FOR OUR MEDICAL NEEDS INCLUDING BROKEN BONES AND ANYTHING ELSE WE AND OUR FAMILIES MAY RUN INTO. US GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES BECAUSE WE HAVE INSURANCE TO PAY FOR THAT. BUT BEING THAT YOU ARE A TOTAL FRAUD YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THAT. SO EXCUSE ME IF I FAIL TO BELIEVE YOUR LIES. YOU DO NOT WORK FOR THE AIR FORCE. SO CUT THE BULLSHIT. I KNEW WHAT YOU WERE AND WHY YOU WERE CONTACTING ME RIGHT FROM THE START. YOU NEVER FOOLED ME FOR ONE SECOND. SO GO FIND SOME DUMB BROAD WHO IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO SEE THROUGH YOUR BULLSHIT STORY AND STOP WASTING MY TIME. YOU ARE IRRITATING ME. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ME WHEN I SAY FBI
    • Terresa And-Albert Portal

      NO YOU WANT TO PLAY ON MY EMOTIONS AND SCREW ME OUT OF MONEY WITH A FAKE KID STORY. FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE YOU'R NOT GETTING ANY MONEY FROM US.

      Then I blocked him and Moor Morgan who turned out to  be one in the same and copied the conversation into an email to the Police and Facebook. The Police can't stop these sleazebags because they are too slippery and smart. So it's up to the public to educated themselves and check the facts before you act on any decision you might want to make based on emotions.

      Before I responded to this guy's first email I checked his Facebook profile for the clues. Needless to say I was right. All the earmarks of a scammer were there.
