If you enjoy being entertained and having a great at the counter meal in the bargain then this is your place. Be prepared to wait at peak times and when there are major tourist events in town, like the Jazz Fest, but that's part of the experience. My son and I have a tradition of going at 8:00 AM every...

I really loved the people and the food at the Camellia Grill. Our servers and cooked sang and joked around with each other and with customers, and seemed to really love their jobs. I had chicken and waffles, with a side of hash browns, and although the hash browns were forgotten at first, everything was cooked well and tasted like... More

Breakfast at the camellia Grill on Chatres is an experience in itself and the food is excellent. Friendly, funny staff serve you from a standard menu, but it's all freshly cooked before your eyes. Excellent Valle for money .

The wait staff are very entertaining, quick service once you are seated. The food is just average, nothing great, just a typical grill. The experience is what you leave talking about not the food. You wait in a line outside the door and then they move you to a seat inside while you watch the people ahead of you sit... More

Boy, was I excited to find a Camellia Grill on Chartres. I was a little worried, but I shouldn't have been. I was treated to awesomeness identical to the original. Food AND service. Mmm. Can't miss this place.

Ok if you want to eat a great breakfast, and be entertained please good here. The wait staff is on point, you order for your area is called out to the chef and 15 mins later breakfast arrives. Sorry no booze but it is worth it. :) Enjoy

Great real NOLA stop for quick, delicious food at the counter. Love their burgers and fries - may folks add a fried egg to the burger to take it over the top!!! I love their chocolate freeze (shakes) and their chocolate pecan pie is to DIE for. If you are really going for it order the pie places on the... More

This is like a step back into the 1950's. A little luncheonette-type of place. Very friendly service. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as breakfast/lunch.

After paying big bucks to what amounted to average food (like 60ish dollar for 2 people, no alcohol) we were excited to find this place! You have to get here early, as people line up around the block. The food was good, the prices were the best! If you're visiting NOLA and trying not to completely break the bank, get... More

French Quarter Location: We ate there twice for breakfast but heard the burgers are worth trying, too. It’s diner style with one continuously snaking counter. We were immediately welcomed in to our choice of seats. Each piece of silverware was polished before it was placed at our settings. The waiters were so friendly, we felt like they knew us, and...
