Where to Get New Orleans Restaurant and Bar Merch for Holiday Gifts - Eater New Orleans

"The hit sandwich spot has been known for its stylish merch since day one, with chef-owner Mason Hereford consistently pumping out new options, often featuring designs by local artists. Christmastime this year is no exception, as the restaurant is stocked full of goodies — shirts, the popular rope hat, and stocking stuffers like pins and patches, with more shirt designs expected to drop over the next few days. For another option, Hereford’s forthcoming cookbook, to be released in February 2022, is currently on pre-order through Garden District Book Shop, an order that ensures a signed copy." - Clair Lorell

This was the first place we visited during our week-long stay in New Orleans and it did not disappoint. The weather was perfect (which made standing outside in line bearable, despite the warmth), and it was consistently moving. The decor is fun and tables are packed, but we were able to get a seat outside just fine. I got the fried bologna sandwich and I don't care what anyone has to say about bologna - it is SO GOOD. I was so tempted to get another one to take home for later because I knew we wouldn't have the time to make the trek back here, but even though I didn't, I did find a recipe for it and will have to try to recreate it at home. I think the vibes are fun, the staff are nice, and decor is quirky, but it's just my kind of place.

It all started with a rare visit to the neighborhood used bookstore where I came across upon their cookbook. The name was "catchy" so one can't be surprised that I found myself flipping through all the pages to see what it was all about. Sure enough, the words and photos captivated me enough to walk out of there with only this book in hand. The words were fun. Their style was fun. Their personality came across in everything and every part of the book. I found myself thoroughly curious - enough to eventually book this trip down to NOLA. (Found out later that Bon Appetit had name them best new restaurant in America years back.) They were my first stop in NOLA and I couldn't be more excited. I joined the line that had formed way before they opened that morning and chatted with some of the locals as to how often they would visit this spot. Most that I talked to that day visit on average three times a week, which really says a lot about who they are. Not only are they a "tourist" spot at this point, they've also seemingly cemented their place into the local palate. The line moved fast the moments their doors opened. It didn't take long before I stepped into the establishment and felt ported to another time and place. Stickers and "art" adored just about every aspect of the space. Definitely quirky and cartoonish...and very much hipster. It was playful and expressive and even the staff are notably contributing to the overall atmosphere of this tiny 30-40 seater space. Walked up to the counter at my turn and placed an order for all the items I've previously bookmarked to try from the book before parking myself at the nearest open table. Fast, simple, and no-fuss service. Let's dooooo this. Kitchen was obviously efficient. Sure, it's a relatively simple menu but they definitely had their kitchen gears greased and going. I watched as food flew out of the kitchen to all the different tables at quite the epic speed. They were fast and efficient. Impressive. My turn came as quickly and one by one my dishes arrived. I took my pictures and then just dug in like a voracious wolf. Must. Consume. It. All. For all the hype, these were just plain normal dishes and flavors re-plated and re-branded. Nothing really blew me out of mind considering this is NOLA and the food scene is GREAT. They were just...normal sandwiches. Flavors were good but just "normal" and as expected. Luckily, I didn't plan my whole trip around this NOR had to wait in line like some of the others that came much later than I did. Otherwise, I would be thoroughly disappointed. Funny thing is I had my book with me and initially wanted to have it signed. After dining here though, I didn't even bother and probably will donate it back to the original used bookstore I originally purchased it from. Worth one visit just to experience it for yourself. I rather crawl the rest of what NOLA has to offer.

Turkey and a wolf is located in a small former corner store it appears. When I showed up there was definitely a line out the door but it moved pretty quickly. Some people are picking up and some people are sitting down. I ordered the fried bologna sandwich with fries. Once you order it's pretty much seat yourself in inside or out. It was very busy the day I went but I got my food within 20 minutes of sitting down. The Fries were seasoned with just right crinkle cut and the fried bologna sandwich definitely catches your attention. It's like four pieces of Texas toast stacked on top of each other with some zapp's kettle potato chips, bologna, lettuce and secret sauce in between. It definitely a eye catcher and it's served on the vintage McDonald's Happy meal plate lol. It goes along with the atmosphere which is very retro. At first you look at it. You think it's too much bread and bologna it's going to be overtaken but it's actually the perfect mixture of bread, kettle chips For the crunch ,lettuce, sauce, and bologna and it'll definitely fill you up And it just works in the weirdest way especially for those who like different textures. They have some local art photography on the wall which showcases pictures of different entrees from other local restaurants. I had overall good experience and and I can see taking some friends there who are sandwich lovers so they can have a similar one.

Wow. Worth the hype and the wait. Busy place always. Food is 10/10. Everything is worth it! Keep in mind you will have a 15% service charge on top of everything you purchase.

Saw this place on DDD years ago! I was in nawlins and just had to try it! The head cheese tacos are amazing and he fried bologna sandwich is really good! I'd go easy on the honey mustard next time though. The sandwich can easily feed two people as it is humongous!

WOW! The sandwich I got was so good. The service was quick and easy. Ordered first then enjoyed this meal. When I arrived it was empty but within the matter of seconds it got so busy and packed no wonder why if it's so good and worth the hype. The ambiance was definitely different but suited the location and place. It was clean and great atmosphere.

I was expecting there to be a turkey sandwich option but there was not. About 5 total options to choose from and selected the ham. It was pretty dry and basic for the price. You order at a counter then sit and have your food brought to you on an assortment of old McDonalds plates. Uniques vibes inside but food was not worth the price for me to want to come back.

I ordered the Pimm's Pickle Princess cocktail and Collard Green Melt sandwich. Food itself was good -- interesting cocktail (wouldn't order again, but glad I tried it) and the sandwich was tasty, unique, and hit the spot. However, small complaint: This was my first time in, and I wasn't told there there was an automatic 15% service charge. I ended up tipping on top of that, which I only realized after looking at the receipt. Not that big of a deal (it calculates to a tip of 33%), but it feels deceptive... It's not posted on the menu (see photo), which is common at other restaurants. I hesitate to even post this since it may seem petty, but all I'm asking for is notice / to be informed. I want other diners to know and be afforded such a courtesy. I would've given 4 stars based on food, ambiance, and service, but I'm left with a sour note, which impacted my overall experience.

This place spearheaded my trip to New Orleans. I've wanted to come here for about 6 years and was well worth the hype and the road trip. I'd make the 10 hour drive 50 more times just to come enjoy cocktails and sandwiches with these folks. The tacos used to be called Tacos Inauthenticos now just called Hog Head Cheese Tacos. hog's headcheese, jalapenos, shrettuce, sour cream, Valentina hot sauce, and american cheese on Migdalia's handmade corn tortillas. The Bologna Sandwich - Leighann's bologna, Via's mom's hot mustard, potato chips, shrettuce, mayo, and american cheese on big toast atmosphere is nuts in a good way. employees are super kind and approachable. everything was superb. nothing could have been made better.

Visited turkey and the wolf a few months ago. They just opened a location in Nashville which reminded me to go back and leave a review for their NOLA location. Ambiance was a vibey daytime sandwich dive bar - VERY busy on the day we went. Service was friendly. And food was solid as well. Will be back.

GOSH--this place has been on my restaurant bucket list since 2017. If I'm being completely honest, it was one of the main reasons I picked this spot for our mini-vacation. Priorities, right? Knowing its legendary status, I was determined to beat any crazy lines, so we got there 25 minutes before opening. Only about 10 folks were ahead of us, so I was feeling pretty smug. Once they opened, though, the line didn't let up--steady flow of people, but it seemed to move quickly. I was here for the bologna sandwich. THE bologna sandwich. It arrived, looking all golden and promising, and while it was good... I wanted more bologna! I needed a thick, unapologetic stack of it. Instead, there was too much honey mustard and not enough meat. Can you ask for double bologna? Is that a thing? Because I feel like that should be a thing. Now, the cabbage salad on the other hand WAS worth the hype--though, oddly, there was no actual hype about it. Hype given HERE in this review! You're welcome, future diners. We ordered a half salad, thinking we were just being sensible, but honestly, we could have easily demolished a full one. It had this perfect balance of crunch, tang, and umami--kinda reminded me of a Burmese tea leaf salad, if you're familiar with that concept. If you're not, just trust me: it's unexpectedly fantastic. So, to sum it up: next time, I'm getting double bologna and a FULL cabbage salad--because clearly, I now have my priorities straight.

I was so excited to try the famous bologna sandwich that's always shared on YouTube by content creators and critics. I must say, these critics and content creators must not know what good food is if they're recommending and praising Turkey and the Wolf's bologna sandwich. First off, the price: they charge a 15% service fee for all orders, even takeout. I purchased the bologna sandwich and a ham sandwich. The bill was $33 -- that doesn't include drinks. The bologna sandwich was mostly bread with some kind of sweet horseradish sauce, chips, cheese, and other toppings. You could barely taste the bologna, as they were very skimpy with it. It was more bread and sauce than anything else. As for the ham sandwich -- save yourself the trouble. You can get one at Subway for a fraction of the price with no ridiculous service fee. Local restaurants in my area make better fried bologna sandwiches for less, and they include fries and a drink -- no service fee. As for the critics and content creators: they're full of it. This place is not worth the hype. I wouldn't wait 10 minutes in line for it. I'm very disappointed. Now you all know. You're welcome.

Collard Green Melt. Do it. This is a casual eatery where you walk up to the counter, order your food, get a funny animal rather than a table number and your food comes to you as it's ready. I wanted everything that was available to me as a vegetarian. I ordered deviled eggs, fries for the table, the collard green melt, the in-cog-meato buffalo chik'n sandwich, and a Jack Daniels hot toddy (some of this was offered as a special that day). Everything was yummy but the collard green melt was the star to me. Tangy, a bit of spicy, creamy, and yummy. The fries were also good. My friends loved the bologna sandwich and fried pot pie. The deviled eggs were cool and the buffalo chik'n sandwich was cool but I wouldn't necessarily go back for those. The hot toddy was perfect for the 40 degree weather. Service was great and the place was clean. Thank you!

Always worth the trip, the bologna sandwich is fantastic and it pairs really well with a frozen margarita. You walk in to order, they give a stick with a figurine on it, you find a seat, and you enjoy yourself. I love the simplicity of it all and this is usually one of my first stops for out of town guests

A stay in the Garden District also provided the opportunity to try out the great sandwiches at Turkey and the Wolf. We popped in at 11 on a Monday and there already was a bit of a line, however, despite the place being small and just opening, the staff worked through the line and the takeout orders pretty damn quickly, so do not be deterred, traveler. I can confirm that Turkey and the Wolf is really everything that you heard it was. A quirky, small, local, and fun sandwich shop nestled in the Garden District that like many of the bars and diners of old, is smothered in decor and tchotchkes from a bygone era (for TatW, its the 90's). Of course, I was greeted with the quandary of what to order as the small menu does pack a punch as all the options seem great, so I went with the staff's recommendation and opted for the fried bologna and The Wife ordered the mama tried burger. These are some damned amazing sandwiches and they live up to the hype, period. You're not going to find a more unique and indulgent sandwich than the fried bologna that has thin cut bologna, smothered in lettuce, mayo, cheese, and frickin' potato chips. It was as delicious as it was decadent. No regrets. The Wife's mama tried burger was also damned good and its one of the few burgers we've had where, despite having all sorts of nice sauces and toppings shoved together under a burger bun, it also stayed together. A work of artery clogging art. We really enjoyed our visit to the Garden District and we will make Turkey and the Wolf a regular stop for our future visits as we want to experience more of what these mad-scientist-sandwich-makers concoct.

Fast service with tasty food! I had the friend bologna sandwich and honestly it's something about that thick bread and the sauce which they apply one of the most unique and savory sandwiches I've had. Place is a cute retro, fun vibe!

This place is a temple to the sandwich and I am a worshipper. Anything they do that is between bread is gonna be good. We showed up right at opening on Saturday and it was great. Maybe ten people in line before us. The wait was not bad. What exceeded my expectations was the cabbage salad. So many textures and flavors. Going to try to recreate the dressing soon. The collard green melt and the bologna are must orders. Great service. Love the vibes and kitsch.

Taste: 3.5 Creativity/Authenticity: 3.5 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 4 I don't know if I should be offended that something I ate as a poor kid is selling for $15 at a busy trendy sandwich spot in NOLA! Heard a buzz about this spot, and I was in town for the Super Bowl so had to see what all the buzz was about! Got the fried bologna sandwich with fries. First love that they serve the fries with mayo, very southern. Now the sandwich itself was delicious, not the poor sandwich I grew up with, triple the size, shredded lettuce and a sweet sauce. The fries were bomb! Love the mayo. Overall decent sandwich, but i liked the fries better than the sandwich!? I'll have to try the collard greens melt next time! Thanks for the sandwich

Hot toddy on a colder winter day was fantastic and the vibe here is ttly chill Get here when they open or you'll be in line out the door and then eating outside because the very small inside space will fill up (and if you're at one of those tables inside, you'll feel everyone's eyes piercing your soul, willing you to finish and leave ) Not a vegetarians paradise so I ordered the collard green melt which was very good and worth every dollar ($12) and fries ($5) which were just average (nothing from Hereford is ever average so when it is, you're like ???) I spend an ungodly amount of money at Molly's Rise & Shine (also Hereford, not far from here) and there's nothing that would bring me back here before I'd go to Molly's but nice to try this out

Turkey and the Wolf, a lot of hype, lived up to it. I had the bologna sandwich and my wife had the burger. My sandwich was super flavorful. Everything worked together so well. Perfect combination, pairs well with a Pacifico and Jell-O shot also lol. My wife said her burger was super flavorful, perfect amount of greasy burger taste. The service was friendly and efficient. The vibes are great as well. On the list for the next time back in Nola!

WOW!!! That article years ago in bon appetit where they named this the top restaurant of the year and detailed their unwavering sentiment put into words perfectly how I felt leaving. This collard green melt will be one of, if not, the top thing you eat this year. It's truly life changing. And this is coming from someone who has never enjoyed collard greens. Loved it so much we bought their cookbook and gave begun experimenting. Other than that had the bologna sandwich which was also super unique and yummy. Would love to come back and try everything. This is worth the hype and the wait!!

If you haven't been to Turkey and the Wolf yet, you are missing out. Make sure to come at an off time or there will be a massive line. Nothing wrong with the service, it was quick and efficient, this place is just that popular! The menu is small but everything is great. We got a Collard Greens sandwich and a Vegan Chicken Sandwich. The Collard Greens sandwich was packed with flavor. I would recommend it! If you are vegan, you have to try the chicken sandwich. It's mind-blowing that it was vegan. If I was a vegan, I would travel to New Orleans to try this chicken sandwich. I will definitely be back to try the Bologna sandwich.

Many people recommended this place when I was visiting Nola, and I'm glad I came. It was around a 15 min car ride from French quarter. Their fried bologna and collard green melt are 2 of the things folks recommended. The fried bologna was great. It was large and the bread itself was fluffy and perfect. Has some chips inside of it and a sweet type of sauce. Their salad looked great too but I haven't tried them. Their indoor space has a good amount of seating and few tables outside too. I would recommend to drop by in you are in Nola.

One of two NOLA spots featured on "Somebody Feed Phil" (S1E5) we visited, we loved the food. I wisely chose the gutbusting "Mama Tried" burger, which has (say along with me, Gen x:) two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions. It's not on a sesame bun, but it comes with tomatoes! ($8.99). My wife loved her vegan chik'en sandwich (fake chick'n, honey mustard, shrettuce, red onion, dill, hot sauce and pickles on a roll). ($11) We shared a decent portion of crinkle cut fries ($4). Additionally, she got the half wedge salad with bacon on the side (everything bagel crunchy stuff, tomatoes, blue cheese dressing, fresh dill). It was yummy and her favorite thing she ate all trip ($7.50). I got the $4 hog's headcheese taco (jalapenos, shrettuce, sour cream, valentina, and American cheese on handmade corn tortillas), which stood out for its Jack in the Box hot sauce flavor. (The chef claims it is Taco Bellesque, but he don't know Jack). Free refills helped wash it down. We also got the killer $6 soft-serve sundae with magic shell and potato chips. We skipped dinner that night. Best of all, the ambiance is a unpretentious dive that feels like a garage hangout, a little Grateful Dead, merch, and pop culture antique mall-heavy with quirky touches, like salt and pepper shakers glued to Hot Wheels, and McDonald's knockoff plates. Some of the art will make you grimace. (Expect lines, though we strangely had none on a mid-Sunday afternoon) If you don't believe me, ask Food & Wine who named it one of the country's "Most Important Restaurants of the Decade" (12/19) for "stoner cuisine" ; or Bon Appetit, who named it Best Restaurant of 2017; or Brett Anderson of Nola.com who ranks it Top 5 of 2016, or Bill Addison of Eater who named it one of the Best 12 New Restaurants in America (7/2017) for the radical sandwich king's "Ph.D.-level stoner food"; or the semi-finalist ranks from James Beard Foundation for best new restaurant and best chef in the South (2017); or Mens Journal (7/2023), who claim the sandwich sorcerer is a "coast-to-coast culinary sensation"; or Los Angeles Times, Saveur, NPR, Vice, Delish, Garden & Gun, and Publishers Weekly who named the cookbook one of the year's best; or Guy Fieri, who claimed they make "off-the-wall cuisine feel familiar" outside a Hot Topic outlet. They lost a star for prompting for a tip AFTER already adding a 15% surcharge. They also added tax AFTER the 15% surcharge. Both acts are shameful. I felt like they were the wolf and I was the turkey.

Never had I gone to a restaurant with so much hype for it to have really met and exceeded expectations. I am no stranger to good sandwiches and that fried bologna sandwiches must really be one of the best in the country. When I go back to New Orleans this is the first place I am going to. I went on a weekday right at opening and dined in. My partner and I loved the eclectic, kitschy, 90s nostalgia vibe inside. We ordered at the counter (of note they do have a 4-5% service charge automatically applied) and food/drinks were brought out to our table. Service was friendly and expedient. The cocktails were both AMAZING and super well balanced. However, the sandwiches were the star. The fried bologna was amazing, which a perfect contrast between the rich fried bologna, the sweet-spicy-savory mustard, the fresh shredduce and the crunch of the potato chips and fluffy texas toast. The collard green melt was also very good, with complex flavor from the collard greens and freshness from the slaw, but we loved the fried bologna just a tiny bit more. The wedge salad was also good and complimented the sandwiches nicely. Overall a really stand out experience and probably the best overall restaurant we went to in NOLA.

This place looks so cool! There's something to look at everywhere! You go to the counter and order your food. They give you the cutest animal or dinosaur on a stick instead of a number for your table. This might be one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had. Double stats then the bread is perfectly toasted. American cheese. Crinkle fries! I love crinkle fries especially when they're hot and fresh like these were. My husband loves cabbage and he says the salad is amazing!

Pretty cool experience and very cool space. It's small, and the line was long, but we had no trouble finding a table to sit it. We went for lunch at 1pm on a Friday and waited in line for about 30 min to order. A little too long for me but man the food is really damn good. The fried chicken pot pie is a crispy, flaky empanada filled with chicken. The buttermilk dipping sauce completes it. It may have been the best thing I had. The hogshead cheese taco was really tasty. The tortilla was so fresh. The little crispy strips on top were perfect. I wish it had more head cheese on it, or less toppings so the head cheese was really the star of the show, but u would have no problem going back and getting 3 of those as my meal. The collard greens melt is really unique. So many flavors. I liked it, my wife LOVED it. Definitely a must try sandwich in New Orleans. The bologna sandwich was what I loved more. The fresh bread, the rich duke's mayo, and sweet and spicy mustard, the salty bologna, and the crispy chips all come together to make a perfect sandwich. My wife loved the wedge salad. I can't do blue cheese so I didn't try it, she said it was very special. If you haven't been, I say it's worth the line. For reference, there were probably 35-40 people out the door when we arrived and it took 30 min. Once you get to the door, you're 5 people away from ordering. The menu is small so the food comes out quick. If you see 10 ppl standing outside, don't let that scare you off. It'll move fast.

PLEASE, MAY I GIVE THIS PLACE TEN STARS!?! to say I will stop by here anytime if I am remotely near New Orleans is an entertainment. I've never had a bad meal and the staff is wonderful. The atmosphere is laid-back and absolutely perfect. Decorated with nostalgic finds. A little rust table and crafty table "numbers?" Love all of the whimsical decor details. They make the simplest things divine. We had the fried bologna it had chips on it. The Texas toast was grilled to perfection with some kind of honey mustard. I'm blown away every time I go here.

This spot was on my list of places to try on a trip to New Orleans! It was 100% worth the wait in line. The people are kind, and really know how to make a good sandwich! There is a line at lunch time so plan accordingly. Truly worth waiting for though. I had the collard green melt and it was huge and absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend, even if you aren't sure how you feel about collard greens! I would definitely go back next time I visit! They also had some good cocktails on the menu. I had a pickle-based one - super unique and refreshing!

The instant you walk in, a wave of nolstagia kicks in. There is so much to take in between the 80s-90s music, the wall coverings (including TMNT), and the McDonalds figurines and dinnerware. I split their two signature sandwiches with a friend: Collard Melt - the insides of this sandwich (greens and coleslaw) are barely being held together by some cheese and rye bread. What that delivers is a sandwich that melts in your mouth but is also really messy to eat. The flavor is there with any "melt" sandwich and is quite impressive even without considering it as a vegetarian option. Fried Bologna Sandwich - one of the most fun bites I had on my whole New Orleans trip. Nicely grilled, thick-sliced fluffy white bread, a pile of potato chips, and a thin slice of fried bologna. Crinkle cut fries - fries cooked well done, just like they should be - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The New Orleans sandwich game is truly near the top in the nation. If you're looking for an alternative to Muffulettas and Po' Boys, Turkey and the Wolf is an excellent place to stop at. Food is flavorful and unique. They also masterfully sneak in some vegetables into your diet.

I have been planing to eat here for about 2 years. The timing hadn't worked out I had tried a few times and the wait was long, not close parking they are closed on Tuesdays and they close at 4 pm which when usually get home. I finally had a day off and I got the famous fried bologna sandwich. It was worth weight and the hype. The flavors are sweet, tangy mixture of crunch and soft with just a bit of salty the bologna has a bit of crust from being fried. It all works together nicely to probably one of my top 5 of all time favorite sandwiches. Eat the whole sandwich if you can. Warming it up the next day changes the crunch from the potato chips. I look forward to taking friend's here and see what they think. I am used to a thicker bologna slice for a fried bologna sandwich. But this experience came with higher degree of flavors and texture. Service was good, atmosphere was eclectic, mix of retro 70s-80 memorable mixed with a little modern. I would say a real gem of New Orleans that most probably haven't experienced. I think anyone would enjoy the experience.

This place definitely lives up to the hype! First off, expect about a 30 minute wait- definitely worth it! The line was out the door, and we knew it was going to be amazing. My husband and I both got the fried bologna sandwich. I'm usually not a bologna fan, but it was so crispy and the chips on the sandwich was a perfect combo. The bread was fluffy and buttery and this was the perfect sandwich. The wedge salad was also soooo good. The blue cheese crumbles on it were amazing with the tomatoes and fresh dill. It was huge! I would 100% recommend this place if you are in the area.

I heard lots of online buzz for this restaurant and made sure to put it near the top of the list in NOLA. There was a long line but I don't think we waited more than 30 minutes before we got in. They ask that no one sit down at any tables until you've ordered, which is standard in a lot of places I've visited in the past. I wanted to order a few things and share with my husband, so we went with the favorites of others. We went with the collard green sandwich, the fried bologna sandwich, and the chicken pot hand pie. While the first two were good, it was the chicken pot hand pie that really blew me away. It came with some type of tarragon dipping sauce that was absolutely fantastic. I really liked the ambiance of this place with the design and cute table holders until the food arrived. I'm looking forward to visiting the sister restaurant for breakfast during our next visit.

Turkey and wolf doesn't need my review but here it is anyway. The collard green melt is as banging as they say. I am ashamed to say I ate the whole gluttonous thing in one sitting. Will be back with friends

The collard green melt is my favorite sando of all time. Amazing it does not have meat. Flavour, texture and inventiveness all score 10's. The cabbage salad is always a winner (the little cracklings in it are addictive. For the first time I got the hogs head taco and it was absolutely delicious. Pair these with a frozen margarita and life is happy. Oh, if the line is long, you can order a frozen margarita to make the wait more palatable.

I've heard nothing but good things about this. Took a chance on this super rainy day that there wouldn't be a line out the door. Lots of rain - no line. Staff is very friendly. Walked up to the podium and ordered the Fried Bologna Sandwich and the Collard Greens Melt - both were excellent!!! The bologna is fried crispy and tastes similar to bacon. The bread is thick like Texas Toast and really nice. The collard greens were tender and had a nice flavor. Really yummy and a lot of food. We also ordered the Wedge salad - probably the best wedge salad I've ever had - lots of thick diced bacon, blue cheese crumbles, fresh dill, and everything bagel seasoning! I will definitely be back!!

We came here at 3:45p on a Friday. The servers were super friendly and told us the kitchen doesn't close until actual closing!! Not just 15 min in advance... everyone was so friendly. We got the green collard melt and fried baloney. Collard melt: this was a unique sandwhich. It had three breads, the top layer was collard and the bottom was some slaw. I don't know if I loved the way the flavors combined, but it had a good amount of veggies. I'd probably ask for lighter sauce next time. Baloney: we loved the Texas toast bread! It was a familiar yet new sandwhich. This is the one I'd get again!

BEST. SANDWICH. EVER. I'm not a deli meat type of person but had to try the fried bologna sandwich. We split it and it was AMAZING! We both enjoyed it. The fries were good too!! They got rid of the deviled eggs awhile ago FYI The people there were really nice and accommodating and loved all the decor!!

Wow! Great lunch spot. After much research on the Nola food scene, I found this place. My husband and I stopped by here, while in town. We enjoyed the ham sandwich with arugula, white cheddar, smoked ham, cranberry and herb mayo on a crispy French roll. My husband was annoyed that he had to share the sandwich with me. It was so delish. We also had the wedge salad with bacon, cherry tomatoes, fresh dill, everything bagel seasoning, and homemade ranch. They were running a Hennessey hot toddy drink special, which was awesome because it was a little chilly out. Top notch spot! Definitely a must while in Nola.

We just left T&W and I wanted to review this while it was fresh. All I can say is: OVERHYPED. Interior: 3*.....It's a weird and loud place which I don't mind. It belongs in the Merigny, in my opinion. Eclectic and old tables with mismatched chairs and utensils. The McDonals plates were funny. Food: 2*.....we ordered the bologna sandwich, mama tried burger, meat pie and hogs head taco. (Full disclosure, my friend makes their bologna here in NOLA). The bologna sandwich was huge! Big slices of TX toast buttered and grilled nicely. The bologna is pepperoni thin and glued down between homemade potato chips and American cheese. The meat itself was good. The chips by themselves had a sweet taste. The house made Dijon was heavily blended with horseradish and seemed more like a 1000 islander dressing. It also had a white sauce but not certain what it was and their famous shrettuce. Overall, it was too saucey and we finished it open-faced. The burger consisted of two smash patties and they were good. I regularly make smash burgers at home and these were seasoned well (but I did add S&P). The bun was heavily baked with sesame seed which is a plus. But the thing was heavily laden with ketchup and that was a huge turnoff. I tried to scrape the excess off but ended up eaten it without the top bun and sesame (damnit). Homemade sweet pickles and white onions (why not red?) were also on the burger. The hogs head cheese taco was lifeless. It had a fried slivered chip of some sort that had a heavy ancho chili flavoring. That was all it tasted like. The actual meat filling was less than 2 tablespoons. Cheap tasteless corn tortilla with crema and a red sauce. Neither of us ate the last bite. The meat pie was chicken pot pie in a fried dough. It was the winner of the meal. The filling was very K-Paul'esq and was seasoned nicely. They served it with a remoulade but that was full of fennel or something similar. Neither of us liked the remoulade. A man sitting next to us noticed how we were dissecting our food and asked what we thought. We discussed it and he said he was disappointed and that he took an Uber there (with his luggage) on the way to the airport. His comment was "overhyped".

On our trip to New Orleans, we had to check out Turkey and the Wolf per suggestion from Omar at Saffron de Twah in Detroit. He told us that he was never into collard greens until he tried the sandwich from Turkey and the Wolf -- we felt the same once we took a bite out of the restaurant's slow-cooked collard greens. The sandwich was soft, melty perfection packed with comforting flavors. We also tried the fried bologna sandwich which was just so good. As out-of-towners, it was great to taste Turkey and the Wolf's take on a southern classic. I was super into the hot mustard and mayo combo as well. And was super into the fact that both sides of the toast were buttered and toasted -- as well as super fluffy. On the side we had their crinkle cut fries. The ambiance in the restaurant was so cool. Lots of Grateful Dead items haha, as well as merchandise and McDonalds plates. One of our plates was even a custom of McDonalds x Turkey and the Wolf. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

Not sure how this place is not a 5 star on Yelp all the way! Absolutely delicious everything (yes, even the sweet and unsweetened tea! That good) . Outdoor seating with tables and benches too. Quick and kind service. We got chicken pie, - crispy, served hot, don't skip, it's one piece so enough as an App for 1, but large enough to split between two people ham sandwich - absolutely yum, the jam/compote adds the extra delish! and Bologna sandwich - star of the menu! don't think twice.

Maybe one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.... in New Orleans Garden District!! My sandwich was SO unique and was on toasted (and lightly buttered lol) Texas toast with: ham, crumbled white sharp cheddar (my favorite) , arugula, herb mayo, and cranberry?!? Talk about a FEAST. My friend had the fried bologna sandwich with herbed mayo, cheese, potato chips, and lettuce. Also the building and seating area was SO CUTE!! Would go back if ever back in NOLA!
