The Tulane Green Wave and the Ole Miss Rebels face off today, and there’s no better way to enjoy the excitement than with a good meal before or after the game. One local favorite that captures the true flavor of Louisiana is New Orleans Food & Spirits.


Game Day Must

Whether you’re cheering for the Green Wave or rooting for the Rebels, this spot delivers a menu packed with Southern favorites. From fresh seafood platters to hot-off-the-grill classics, there’s something to satisfy every appetite. Pair the food with a lively, welcoming atmosphere, and it’s the perfect place to fuel up before kickoff or relax after the game.


A Local Favorite with Deep Roots

New Orleans Food & Spirits first opened its doors in Harvey in the mid-1990s. Just a couple of years later, the success of that first location led to expansions in Bucktown (Metairie) and Covington, each carrying on the same tradition of flavor and hospitality. Over time, both the Harvey and Bucktown restaurants grew in size and menu variety, but what never changed was their commitment to affordability, consistency, and quality.


What Sets Them Apart

At New Orleans Food & Spirits, everything starts with freshness. Every dish is prepared in-house from scratch, ensuring the flavor and quality meet the high standards the restaurant has built its reputation on. Guests know they can expect generous portions, fair prices, and a wide selection of dishes that taste just as good every time they visit. It’s that balance of affordability, variety, and consistency that has made the restaurant a beloved part of the community for nearly 30 years.


Fan-Favorite Menu Items

  2. Swamp Pasta – Shrimp tossed in a garlic cheese sauce layered over angel hair pasta.

  4. Chargrilled Oysters – Half a dozen, perfectly seasoned and served straight from the grill.
