Slim Goodies Diner - Review - Uptown - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Walking into Slim Goodies feels like you took a road trip in the ‘80s and stopped at a diner. There are Polaroids of guests all over the walls, Debbie Gibson and Madonna playing on the speakers, and new friends at every table. You can’t go wrong with any of the omelets or pancakes, but the more excessive plates tend to be the best things. Like the extra meaty and cheesy Sinkhole omelet and the Banarama pancake that contains an entire banana. The cocktails are especially good, like the brandy milk punch, refreshing satsuma frozen lemonade, and chaotic Bloody Mary served in a hurricane glass with bacon, fried potatoes, and pickled vegetables. Come here on a day when you have no plans, and take a drink to go while you spend a couple hours strolling and window shopping in the neighborhood." - Megan Braden-Perry
