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 place rocks!! It's a really small restaurant, a few tables, a long line, and really good food! It's best to go with friends so you can try and find a seat but once you do, you will enjoy really good food on knockoff McD's plates. I got the fried bologna sandwich which was really good, good crunchy chips and then a nice hint of mustard. It was pretty massive but super delicious. I also ordered the fried chicken pot pie, which was more like a fried chicken empanada and probably one of the best things I had the whole weekend. It's good. REALLY good. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THIS. That said, it's worth checking out and it's worth the wait. The line moves faster than you think and they have a good drink selection as well if you want some alcohol.

Ambiance is quirky enough, the staff is awesome & the location is amazing. I'm not sure what the hype is about, though, or why people will line up in the hot sun for the food. I've eaten here several times, as it's a block away from my work. Everything is over salted or over seasoned (I've literally pulled a whole rosemary sprig from out of my pot pie), & some things seem to be put together without making much sense. I just get the Mama Tried burger & fries now (NO SALT, PLEASE!!)...can't go wrong with that, as it's a pretty yummy, regular ol' burger. I'll give them this, though: the cabbage salad is so yummy, I'd take a bath in it!!!!

Perhaps my expectations were too high after all the awards and rave reviews. We stopped for an early lunch. No crowds. The only menu was taped to the counter so we had to huddle around it to figure out what we wanted. Weird. I was surprised by how small the menu was.... I did order the ham sandwich and my wife the collard green sandwich. The ham sandwich was fine but nothing special. I did try the collard green sandwich and despite not being a fan of those greens I found it to be pretty good. Overall a mixed bag. They do automatically add a 15% tip...

Arrived around 11:30 and there was zero wait. We ordered at the counter from the small menu as the staffer waited. And noted that a 15% gratuity was auto added, something we noticed at other places we've visited in NOLA. We sat outdoors and our food was promptly delivered. The collard green sandwich was excellent! The Ham solid, but not that interesting. Our plates were cleared as soon as we finished.

Turkey and the Wolf totally lived up to the hype. I waited about 15 minutes in line and the service was relatively fast. They give out cute animal things instead of numbers, which I thought was a nice touch. I ordered the fried bologna sandwich, and it was soooo good! It was crispy, savory, and surprisingly not too salty, which I really appreciated. It's one of those sandwiches that just hits all the comfort-food notes without feeling heavy. I also got the wedge salad, which was fresh and crunchy, but I felt like they went a little overboard with the blue cheese dressing. A bit less would've kept the balance better. Overall, a fun spot with great flavors.

OMFGGGGG the internet and James Beard awards do not lie- SOOOOO GOOOOOD. Like, honestly the best meal I've had of 2025. I came to the garden district on the weekend for a late lunch. I ended up with a salad that has sunflower seeds and fish sauce- and it doesn't sound like it'd work, but IT WAS AMAZING. My sandwich- i got the fried bologna sandwich. Pretty sure last time I had bologna was in elementary school with Oscar Mayer. WOW- this was SOOOO GOOD. I dunno how the flavors meld soooooo well, but I came back 1 more time before my trip ended. I got the tomato sandwich- on special- and the collard greens sandwich. Again- both sandwiches that don't come to mind for a first pick, but DAMNNNN they were soooooo good.

Why is this place so good??? I'm a little ashamed when my friend wanted to eat here I looked at the menu and wasn't all that excited. How was I so wrong. The collard greens melt was actually one of the best things I put in my mouth and I'd do a lot of illegal things to have one again. And surprisingly enough, same with the cabbage salad. The plate was a heeaappinng serving that I got for the table to share but I could've eaten the whole thing myself - even given the entire melt I also ate.

Stopped by for lunch today and grabbed a couple sandwiches and fries. I'd say Turkey and the Wolf are definitely worth checking out and to come hungry cause the sandwiches are filling. Giving 4 stars cause the bologna sandwich had too much mayo on it and it took 5 bites until I got some of the mustard. All together the sandwich was good, but didn't blow me away like other reviews have suggested.

I was gifted the owner of this place's cookbook. Mason Hereford is a genius -- or a madman. I'm not sure which. What I am sure of is that the Collard Green Melt at Turkey and the Wolf is an absolutely exquisite sandwich. Completely surprising at every level... You must try it! The Hog's Headcheese Taco and Fried Pot Pie were amazing as well. There's sure to be a wait to get into this quirky place that seems to use all vintage 1980s era dish-ware. The line moves fast, but the flavors will last a lifetime.

Funky and fun sandwich shop in the Carrollton neighborhood. Nice people and delicious sandwiches. Hopping and lively at lunchtime on a December Monday.

If you're visiting NOLA, do yourself a favor and get out of the French Quarter. Yes, Bourbon Street has its charm ... kind of... but the real gems are beyond it. Turkey and the Wolf is the perfect excuse to head that way. I trekked here in the swampy heat for the famous collard greens melt, and it was absolutely worth it. Gotta say, it was a near-perfect sandwich: the greens were cooked perfectly, everything just ~worked~, and the flavors hit that sweet spot of salty, tangy, and comforting. The interior is peak eccentric-chic. Think retro diner meets Brooklyn warehouse living room. Just look at the plates! Prices are super reasonable, especially considering the hype. Service was also fast and friendly. There was no wait, but I also went on a weekday at like 2pm, so I would recommend off-hours. Make an afternoon of it: wander Magazine Street, pop into the cute local shops and antique mall, check out the stunning Garden District mansions, and end with one of the best sandwiches you'll find in New Orleans/USA.

We visit New Orleans often, but this was our first time at Turkey and the Wolf--and it definitely lived up to the hype! We'd seen it featured on Somebody Feed Phil and knew we had to make it one of our stops.. We ordered the Collard Green Melt, fries, and the Mama Tried Burger, and everything was a hit. The fries were cooked perfectly and the portion was huge--definitely more than enough to share around the table. My husband split the Collard Green Melt with me, and at first, he was a little skeptical when he realized it didn't have any meat. But one bite in, he was hooked--no meat needed. It was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. Our daughter and her boyfriend shared the burger and said it was perfectly cooked and really tasty. Great food, fun atmosphere, and definitely worth a stop if you're in New Orleans. We'll be back!

I had the fried bologna sandwich, while my husband opted for Momma Tried burger with a side of fries. The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious, leaving us eager to return and explore more of their menu. The ambiance was nostalgic, transporting us back in time. Although their ordering policy of waiting before sitting was a bit unusual, it was understandable.

Spectacularly tasty mix of food options on a deceptively sparse menu that tastes a-mazing. Recent (return) recipient of James Beard 'bib' award for its unique, quirky ambiance & welcoming service. The long line during nearly all hours of service is a clear signal; get on in:)

It took moving away from NOLA and coming back for work to finally try this spot. It didn't disappoint! I drove by with little hope of making it before the rush and low and behold no one in line! I got in and wanted to immediately stuff my face with all the fried goodness. I demonstrated restraint with one beer and a single sandwich. It was my first time eating fried bologna. I would recommend.

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.

Wow. Totally worth the hype. Plan to wait in line but it's absolutely worth the wait! Definitely recommend the fried bologna sandwich - quite literally in my top 3 favorite sandwiches I've ever had. I'm not even a fan of bologna but everything in the sandwich just complemented each other perfectly. They are also famous for their blue cheese wedge salad - absolutely 1000/10. No other words. Love supporting this place

So my good friend and I stopped here for lunch and had to wait in line! Ugh. I've been wanting to try this place for a while. Line wasn't too slow but there is very limited seating. Orders are placed at the counter then someone brings it out to you. The time it took to receive our food after ordering was FAST which was appreciated after waiting in line. We shared the fried bologna sandwich, fries and the fried pot pie. The sandwich was fine..I didn't really like the sauce on it...kind of masked the taste of the bologna. The fried pot pie was delish but didn't taste like a pot pie. I do wanna return to try a few things but not if there's a line.

You might have to wait, but it's worth the line! Turkey and the Wolf serves a delicious meal in an unpretentious dining room. The kitschy decor reminds me of my childhood in the 90s. For two people, I recommend ordering a salad, a sandwich, and an app to share. The bologna and fried collard green sandwiches were both exquisite!

Being a local I've wanted to try this place for years, and when they recently got Michelin love I knew I had to head straight there. We got there 15 minutes before opening on a gorgeous day, 1 couple ahead of us. I knew my order- the collard green melt and cabbage salad! My partner got the fried bologna massive sandwich. Service and ambience was wonderful. My sandwich was unique, delicious, and had the best meld of flavors with the perfect heat added! The salad was good, but needed some grilled shrimp, or chicken in my opinion. I took it home and doctored for dinner! My partner's sandwich was massive, I do feel like it needs a thick slice of bologna as opposed to the 2 thin ones you get, it's pretty much all bread. Overall, I'm glad I experienced, I would order the collard green melt every time I went bc I always get things I can't make at home and it's so unique! Def a must try

I love the vibe of this place and the food was delicious. We shared the signature bologna sandwich and it was enough for two. I do wish I had tried more dishes because the burger and collard greens looked so good, but I was too full, would definitely go back on another visit.

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.

Be aware that they already charge 15% tip to every bill, but will still flip the screen for you to add additional tip. And it doesn't say "additional tip". I just happened to notice the sign, but it wasn't mentioned by the person at the counter. Also, they didn't show me a screen with a breakdown of costs, so if I didn't see the sign, I wouldn't know that my bill already had tip added to it. Worth noting that they did post about this many years ago, but after reading other reviews about this same concern, doesn't seem like people remember or know about it. Still feels shady. Now onto the food... Fries were fries. It came with some type of mayo. 4/10. The wedge salad was not for me. 1/10. Everything was too much for me. Just not my preference but I can see how someone else may like it. Fried bologna sandwich was flavorful. Good size for the price. 8/10. Mama tried burger was 6/10. Nothing special. A double patty burger. Fried pot pie was tasty. Crispy and flaky. 8/10.

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!

The flavors coming out of this kitchen were fire and completely unexpected. I knew it was going to be good when I saw the consistent line of people when I pulled up and they did not disappoint. As you can see I tried the top sellers on the menu and all of them were packed with flavors that you wouldn't expect. Keep doing your thang chef. The staff worked their butts off and there are inside and outside seating options.

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.

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!

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.

Go get it right now. Bologna sandwich, burger, Princess pickle drink * skip the fries, add the cabbage salad. Add 4 Jell-O shots and hey, get drinks to go and some of their merch. Service is FAST compared to other sandwich shops (parkway ahem). Support this place. Also a nostalgia bomb

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.

My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch and shared the collard green sandwich. In his words, "life changing". Ooey gooey green goodness! Had a nice punch of acid too, which I loved. Would 1000% recommend and will be coming back next trip to get another and maybe try some of the other sandwiches!

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

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.

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.

My wife and I have been dying to try this place for over a year and finally made our way down to NOLA this weekend. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The line was well out the door, but it moved quickly and we were able to find seating outside. The decor was funky and quirky and it was fun to be able to eat off of the same plates I grew up eating off of in the 90s (crinkle cut fries served in a Kellog's cereal bowl and sandwich served on a 1993 McDonald's plate). The collard green melt: 10/10

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.

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

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.

The life-changing sandwich that will forever stay a part of my memories. this place was recommended and it did not this point nostalgic vibes all the way having a sandwich served on Ronald McDonald plate just hits a little different. Had the collard green sandwich and the chicken vegetarian sandwich both absolutely amazing but the collard green sandwich was definitely the life changing one will go back when I visit New Orleans again so happy I stopped by this place.

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!
