Manning’s

Post Mardi Gras Day parades we stumbled upon this restaurant as it was super close to our hotel (Omni Riverfront) and one of the few places open on Fat Tuesday at 4pm! Very nice upscale sports bar atmosphere, large flat screens everywhere. Would be an awesome place to watch on gamedays. Our waitress was super funny and very good, gave us honest menu recommendations! I had BBQ pulled pork, coleslaw, and French fries, all perfectly cooked and seasoned. followed up with Beignets drizzled with carmel sauce and topped with candied pecans!!! Delicious!

Highly recommend to all my military friends when they visit the city have to stop in for a great time. One of the best bartender I’ve met that keep me coming back is Camille, she’s awesome and very attentive to you even in a pack house. The food is also great for any LSU, Saints game or just hanging out. The area is safe for parking and very clean, but recommend coming early on a beautiful day to get great seating outside.

Best waitress in New Orleans — her name is Quasha. So attentive and delightful! Thanks so much for the great service!!! :)

Nothing special, service ok, food just ok… prices too high for what you get. Inside with a reclining chair and some alcohol may have bumped this up a star. But to just eat here I wouldnt really reccommend. Was in town for a work trip and I brought the family.

Horrible service and planning for super bowl Sunday by management. Was in town for a bachelor and I called a month ago to make reservations and was told not taking reservations. Went in today and was told they changed their minds and started to take reservations 3 weeks ago and all booked. Their walk-​in sitting process was horribly organized. Food was so so.

The service was fantastic. We had a conference event and they served us like kings and queens. Shane was the best server ever. Our board had dinner the night before at the Archies room and the service could not have been better. I would recommend coming to this place for events or just to grab a bite.

Mediocre food; inattentive service. Came in and was seated fairly quickly. Then waited over 15 mins for waitress to appear. She rushed through ordering. Several dishes came out wrong – fries instead of onion rings, missing pickles, added tomatoes. No water arrived. Once food came never saw waitress again. Waited twenty mins after finishing to get the attention of the hostess to find our waitress to close out. Disappointing. Had higher expectations.

Wow. So disappointed. Redfish poboy was bland and the bread was disappointing. The nachos were just plopped together and the fries seem like they just didnt care. Im really disappointed and would not recommend this to anyone. The server and manager were very understanding and polite and I tried not to sound rude, but I had to be honest. Based on the server and managers attempt to appease us, I’d rank this place higher, but I gotta be honest. Décor and sports bar atmosphere are great. Theater style seating looks cool. I just hope the food gets better.

Nice place. Service is great. Friendly manager and very attentive server. I give them 5 stars.
The food is what brought me to give 3 stars. The menu was not exciting at all. I expected multiple pages of options. There is just one page with everything they offer. We ordered nachos… The queso was clumpy and had a powdered/​curdled taste. We ordered the rib and chicken sampler… Pretty good but fries are bland and soggy and cole slaw super peppery. We also had the kobe sliders… Which were ok. You get 2 for $ 12. Cheesecake factory is sooo much better for $ 15. My dad ordered shrimp po boy. He was caught off guard by the way it tasted. He thought he was getting a classic shrimp poboy. So he kinda picked at it. My brother actually liked what they did to the shrimp. My brothers ordered red fish poboy and they hated it. The bread was stale and the fish was super bland. One brothe didnt even finished his. He told the server and the manager it was the worst poboy he ever had.
The server and manager were very gracious, patient and apologetic. Manager personally served us brownies with ice cream. Which was pretty good and rich. They even stuck around to chat with us… even though they felt like jerks for complaining.
Overall… I wouldnt come here with high expectations in food. But the place is freat to catch a game and a drink… And a brownie a la mode.
Due to my camera being busted, I am not able to take pics… again. Sorry

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I am sitting at the table writing a review because this has been disasterious. We are here visiting from New York and thought this would be a great place to watch the Giants game!!! Absolutely wrong choice! And it is such a shame. First off, it’s a Sunday evening, the bar is close to being empty however it took close to an hour to be sat and served food. And the food choices on the menu… forget about it!!! They were out of half the menu!!! So it was a very limited variety for a very different group to choose from.
So after our party finally made choices on the things to eat from what they DID have, half the food came out still wrong. Completely unacceptable for the price of the food.
The manager did come out to resolve the concerns. The concerns were only taken care of for this visit, but it doesn’t seem to be a priority to this place that their service has gone bad.
I am extremely upset as a Giants and Manning fan that this place was an extreme disappointment. I would not recommend this place to any one who is here visiting expecting a great experience.

Decent bar food — the sweet corn pudding is worth the trip alone. Good place to go when there’s a crowd in town — hangout, eat, great facilities. Fried grill cheese kinda freaks me out.

We went for appetizers and a beer during happy hour. Beer and appetizers, half off, sounds pretty good, right?! The food was ok typical bar fare… nothing special. If I had to rate the place on food only, it would be a 3.5 or 4 stars. However, the bar was woefully understaffed (3 ladies working a full bar, several high tops and the patio) and one of the bartenders had an attitude that was beyond horrid. Couple that with the fact that my bartender somehow managed to not discount the appetizers, and the experience turned to marginal at best.
Here’s a suggestion folks… you’re in the service industry… if you don’t want to serve customers, find a job that doesn’t involve people.

Half-​off on some food items. and beers… food was great, delish, and large portions, !! Sports bar atmosphere, a lot of memorbillia of the Mannings. Archie was there-​nice guy! I will be back and try to go to their other rest.

If I could come here and not have to deal with the hosts, then I would probably love this place. I enjoyed the outdoor patio. If it was not so cold, we would have watched the evening game out there.
Upstairs is GREAT! We watched the Saints game when they went into overtime. They closed it right after. It’s hit or miss if the upstairs will be open, so I’m told.
Downstairs is a mess! There were 6 of us and I asked for a table and we would have had an easier time just walking up and getting our own table in the upper section. People from the bar were moving into the section and sitting as others left. I tried telling the host this and they insisted that this was not happening yet WE SAW IT!
These hosts were not pleasant AT ALL! They made the place look BAD! The funny part is that one didn’t know what the other was doing. One was seating people while the other was trying to get tables together for us. We waited well over ½ an hour when people were being seated in the same area within minutes after arriving.
Just irritating. I was really wanting to have a good experience but it just wasn’t happening. Because of this experience, we could not enjoy the rest of our visit because we were so upset.
I really don’t like the idea of the chairs upfront either. I feel that they could say, people who sit in them should have a minimum to spend not having an additional $ 25+ put on top of it. Saints game AND Broncos game, they were empty. Hmmmm??? Maybe time to rethink that one. Honestly, I would be willing to spend $ 25 on me and $ 25 on my husband but not spend $ 25 JUST to sit there. Um, no!
Okay, enough… as I type, I remember the not so nice hosts and it just gets me upset again so I will stop. ;)

Great place for a Sunday funday! Food is average. Make sure you sit in the lounge vhairs4

We planned to spend the day at Manning’s watching our college football games last weekend. We arrived right as they opened, and all the tvs were on and ready to go. For some reason, one of the bartenders kept changing the tvs. so much that half of them were actually off for a good 10 minutes. This was just an annoying start to our day when we are trying to catch a certain game. The server came over (after taking our drink and appetizer orders) and basically told us she didn’t ring our food in because she figured we would want to go outside. (They have a «tailgate» outside with a projector and bar window). The vibe she gave was that she essentially didn’t want to wait on us. So we took our group outside. The bartenders in the window didn’t know how to ring in items or bring the correct food. all day people were receiving the wrong food. an hour after ordering it. They actually told us «We are printing tailgate menus right now» and two hours later they still weren’t ready.
This place has potential, and obviously the owners have the money. why not make it great?

The food is okay. Could be way better. The atmosphere and drinks are better than the food. Definitely a good place to watch a college football game on a Saturday. Very cool to see all of the Manning memorabilia on the walls.
Waitress was also very sweet. Overall, good place for sports and drinks and maybe an appetizer.

Great sports bar! Big screen outside showing football, with open windows for ordering at the bar. Lots of tvs including an area with 4 screens and big comfy lazy boys it is very open and bright with lots of sports memorabilia signed by the Mannings. It’s very clean, unlike my regular watering holes at home. I wish we had one of these in Atlanta!
Food was pretty good and drinks are very good.

Was in town, and decided to give this place a shot. The ambience is nice, laid back, and welcoming. Cool concept and the wait staff was awesome, too bad the food was only mediocre, we had the following:
— Naked Wings — buffalo hot sauce — the wings were okay, nothing special, we got the sauce no the side, because sometimes a place can make the wings too saucy, and inedible
— Southern Nachos — machaca beef, cheese sauce, lettuce, pico de gallo, jalapeños, and sour cream — nachos was okay, a little more beef and cheese would of been good
— Kobe Beef Sliders — cheddar cheese, sweet pickles, tomato, lettuce, and house sauce, served with onion rings — sliders were also only okay, nothing special
— Spinach Artichoke Crab Dip — the dip was delicious, probably the most delicious thing I ate here
— ½ Rack Baby Back Ribs — served with house-​made coleslaw — nothing special about the ribs
— Smokehouse BBQ Sandwich — smoked brisket with sweet pickles, crispy onion rings, bbq sauce, served with french fries — the wasn’t bad, could of used a little more smoke
— The Classic Archie Burger — the burger was charred nicely, and was delicious
— Burbon-​Infused Apple Pie Pouches — this was delicious, warm pie served with ice cream
Probably won’t be back for a main meal, but seems like it would be a cool place to watch a game and have some drinks.

I’ve been here twice in recent weeks. Once just to get a beer with my Jazzfest crew before hoping along to bar to do the same. We stopped in here because it was the closest place to wet our whistles after parking. My 1^st reaction was «Wow I bet this place would be great to watch a game» They have like 8 – 12 nice recliners in front of a huge TV, a bunch of regular tables, a few couches, a nice bar and a lot of outdoor seating on Fulton St. The décor is like one would expect from the name. Everything Manning… except poor Cooper. He’s like the Meg from Family Guy of the Manning’s. I kid I kid!
The 2^nd time I went I took my kids for a quick bite to eat. Well it wasn’t quick. The place was rather slow, maybe 5 – 6 other tables of people, 2 – 3 people at the bar and a group of douchy bachelor party type frat boys in those recliners watching the Preakness. They had several employees standing around the bar doing nothing yet it took forever to get our drinks. Once we got them, the waiter was super friendly.
The food once it arrived was blah. The pretzel bites were luke warm as was the mustard cheese sauce it came with. The fries my daughter got were flimsy not crisp. I’m thinking frozen. My 2 Al Pastor tacos were ok. Ample amount for the price but the flavor was less than what I expect from Al Pastor tacos. The menu overall is lacking. It’s small and what is there isn’t very interesting.
The place could be great. The atmosphere is nice, but they need to start over on that menu!
