About this business

Among a long list of funky local joints, this is a classic New Orleans neighborhood restaurant. Owned and operated by the Madina family since the late 1800s, the menu at Mandina's Restaurant has not changed much over the last 50 years. And you'll be thankful, because everything they make is quite tasty. Appetizers include fried onion rings, shrimp remoulade and craw fish cakes. Specials range from trout meuniere to red beans and rice with Italian sausage. If you're craving seafood you can't go wrong with the shrimp or oyster... read more

Mandina's is an authentic neighborhood restaurant. Okay, I have to say that I really really love Mandina's! I can not even make a suggestion on what to order because everything that I have had there is delicious. If a person from out of town were to ask me where to eat in NOLA to experience real NO cooking I believe this would be my first suggestion. That said I just want to caution people who aren't from the area that this place gets crowded-so expect a wait. Also, it is a cash only establishment so don't expect to pay with... read more

HEAVEN Mandina's is THE destination in New Orleans for Po Boy sandwiches. While you are there, try out their onion rings as well. Warning - the sandwiches are huge, even a half loaf will be difficult to finish!

worst meal ever in a restaurant Ordered the Grilled Shrimp - at $19.95 Sunday price - thought it should be good. Wrong!! Shrimp were small, not local and possibly pre-cooked, and definitely not grilled as expected. Boiled potato was bland, salad was okay, canned green beans were the best thing one the plate. Really the worst meal I've ever had in a restaurant.

One of my favorite restaurants in town. I love the fried seafood platter.

This restaurant is the type of place I go to not just for the good food, but for the nostalgia. It's been there forever. Great neighborhood spot. I have plenty of memories at Mandina's having lunch with my Godfather and my PaPa. And, yes, like the other reviewers have stated, the turtle soup is superb.

I often drive past this resturant and see the lines of people waiting for a table and I wonder if this is the first time they are eating there or are they from out of town. I have to tell you that I had one of the most disappointing meals ever there. Red beans and rice. Not hard to cook, right. Its new Orleans for crying out loud. Canned perhaps! With all the resturants in our wonderful city why would you eat there? Drive on....there is a buger king down the road its much better,

turtle soup!!! – Been going to this restaurant since 1994 & it is always my first meal in the city. Turtle soup & soft shelled crab! The open faced roast beef is great, but it was $5.50 before Katrina & now it is $10.95! I think that the prices have gotten a little out of hand. We want Sinbad back!
