"This Uptown sports dive is a win/win all around. Cooter Brown’s delivers tons of TVs and even more beers on tap, and the game is always on. This is a good place to check out if you’re trying to find your alma mater’s team from far away. Fried food heaven (although there are a few salads) and raw oysters mean you just can’t go wrong here." - Eater Staff
"For parade-goers staying Uptown, Cooter Brown’s is a sports bar with darn good eats. The limited Mardi Gras menu puts the emphasis on fried seafood, burgers, po’ boys, and local comfort fare, including red beans and jambalaya. There’s a veggie burger and cheese fries for the meat-averse. Open ‘til 8 instead of the usual 1 a.m." - Beth D’Addono
"If everybody heading to the end of the line landed at Cooter Brown’s, it would be a much more welcome experience. Steps from the end of the St. Charles Avenue street car line, this divey sports bar is known for its endless beer selection, chargrilled oysters, and ample portions of elevated bar bites. The Foodie burger arrives with sharp cheddar, caramelized onions, house cured pickles and housemade ketchup, not too shabby." - Beth D’Addono
"If there’s a beer you’re dying to try, you’ll probably find it at Cooter Brown’s in Carrollton. For decades, this has been the place to wrangle up some friends to watch the game, with beer, shots, cocktails, bar food, and raw oysters. And in recent years, it’s gotten a slight facelift with even better food and drink menus. Head to the back bar to drink a local experimental beer, shoot a Shucker’s Sampler at the oyster bar, or drink a dreamsicle-esque Push Pop Disco Lemonade from the front bar while snacking on some boudin balls." - Megan Braden-Perry
"Cooter Brown’s kitchen is open until 1 a.m. every damn night. Indulge in a truly impressive array of sandwiches, po’ boys, and burgers, as well as boudin and salads — and, of course raw oysters on the half shell. Try the Irish Channel special with homemade corned beef, coleslaw, and Crystal remoulade on brioche." - Beth D’Addono
