Lakeside Shopping Center

I visited Lakeside Shopping Mall in New Orleans, Louisiana, just before Easter, and it was a great experience. The mall has just about every kind of store you could want. In the center area, they had a fun Easter-themed setup for kids, with Easter trains, large flowers, and playful decorations—it was really charming. They always seem to have something festive in the middle of the mall during the holidays, which is a nice touch. The mall itself is clean and well-maintained, with major department stores like Dillard’s, Macy’s, and JCPenney. There’s truly something for everyone here.

Very nice place. We went in a sunday and inside very beautiful and a lot of room to sit. I like it a love this placd

I absolutely love Lakeside Mall. The food hall has great options, everyone is friendly, great to shop or just walk around and get your steps in. Skip the French quarter and get your beignet fix here at Cafe de Monde. I tried Smash burgers 🍔 yesterday , left 😋!

Lots of choices in store of various offerings. We shopped at Torrid where the sales staff was helpful and upbeat. We also ate in the Food Court which has tasty food for all palates.

Lots of stores and restaurants all in one place. Parking was a little confusing just because it's not like our mall at home. We drove around trying to find food court parking, but it's kind of in the middle of the mall instead of on one side or the other.

Lakeside Shopping 🛍 Center Is a Definite Magnetic 🧲 Diamond 💎 Vibe with an Ultimate Shopping experience Great atmosphere

Wonderful staff at the food court. An immaculately clean mall with great stores. I recommend to park in the main lot rather than the inside parking structure. It’s just a short walk but lots more spaces.

The Cheesecake Factory at this location was great. Friendly host and waitress plus the carne asada which was recommended was on point! Thanks

Great variety of stores and selection. Awesome experience. Lots of parking. Everything a shopper could want

I am from Northern CA where our malls are dwindling away. Lakeside Shopping Center is a beautiful mall filled with shops and offerings. My grand children were born during the pandemic and this was their first time inside a mall! The loved the unique and artsy chairs near the entrance and made it a point to sit or crawl over or through them. Many of the popular and high end shops can be found there. There is a dancing water fountain and a food court with excellent chain style offerings. They have children's clothing specialty stores where my granddaughter picked out her birthday dress! She had never been able to shop in real time! Now we can't keep her out of stores. LOL! There is even a children's play and adventure park inside but you must make a reservation in advance. The play park is so clean! There is a handwashing station for the children that mimics a car wash so the kids need no encouragement to wash their hands at all. It's really a fun experience. Parents and guardians can enter with the children or sit and relax and watch them have an exciting playtime experience. There is something for everyone at this mall! The free parking was a breeze and an added bonus!

Pretty good! The selection of shops were plentiful. The food court looked great... ample parking!

This was the first and only mall we found during our trip to New Orleans. The mall is pretty large and has many different stores that interested me. There are also some annex stores in the mall's surrounding area. Overall I enjoyed the mall. They had a Zara and Cafe Du Monde just to name a few of places I wanted to visit while traveling. The mall was packed on a Sunday. I didn't get to visit all the wings of the mall. Hope next time I can explore more. Lakeside Shopping Center 3301 Veterans Memorial Blvd Metairie, LA 70002 ( Review 637 overall 181 in 2021)

Great mall easy access to everything been going there since I was a kid. And the food there is good too

For context, my family and I are black. We went to the mall today to purchase a pair of sunglasses for my husband and I. We approached the kiosk with our 4 year old son, which anyone that knows a child, knows they like to touch things...but was confronted by the owner in a rude and disrespectful manner once he saw our son reach for some of his (within reach of children) glasses. He talked directly to my son and not to his parents, threatening him telling him he had one more time to touch his shades and that they are not to hit the floor. Meanwhile, we were already cuing him to step back and EXPLAIN TO OUR SON how shades are fragile and we need to be careful. We tried to communicate to him that we were paying customers and returning customers at that but he continued to be disrespectful insinuating he didn't want our business. Also, as a side note, our son is holding a stuff bear and standing timidly at the time, just to let you know the type of kid he is..not one to be very rough and rowdy. Anyway, he begins talking to us more in a disrespectful manner, telling us to go to Oakwood and buy glasses. My guess, implying that black people are to go there and purchase shades? Then he threatens to call the mall security on us because we refused to let him speak to us in a condescending and a disrespectful matter, especially to our son. The only reason we went to the mall was to purchase some shades but he pissed all over that experience by being a racist butthole. Takeaway point, DO NOT BUY SHADES FROM THIS KIOSK. They are rude, disrespectful and among all things racists. Even a white man approached us as we were walking away and said this is not the first time the owner has been disrespectful to potential customers but yet Lakeside continues to let them do business in their mall. Smh.

We had to come and see what the mall looked like on our recent trip. They have a bunch of stores to choose from. Really enjoyed Armani exchange and Sephora. Pottery barn or any mall that has it is exciting to me. No upstairs so smaller than Georgia malls, but it will definitely get the job done. Clean from what we could tell. They also had a very cute wine bar inside of the mall that I really enjoyed vine and tap . Would return again.

According to Google, Lakeside Shopping Center was built in 1960 and is the busiest shopping in the New Orleans area. It has gone through several renovations over the years to keep up with fashion and technology. This mall features 3 anchor stores such as Dillards, Macy's, and JCPenny. Other stores include (just to name a few) Williams-Sonoma, Disney, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Apple Store, Guess, Gap.......They do have a food court and other eateries such as Cafe Du Monde and a Godiva Chocolate store. Parking can be hard to find during peak hours, so be patient. There are two covered parking areas one next to Macy's and the other is JCPenny. There is something for everyone here, be sure to checkout the cool new waterfall from the ceiling addition. It's located on the wing closest to Pottery Barn.

Great stores. I wish they had more though. The restrooms are inconvenient, they are in the middle of food court.

There was a variety of stores to shop from. The mall was also clean. It's a small mall that has basic stores. There were no particular stores that caught my eye. However, it was better to shop there instead of walking through the French Quarters or Canal Street to shop.

This shopping center (mall) is about average in size, and they have quite a lot of options to choose from for both shopping and dining. They had many areas for the kids, and really nice, clean restrooms. One of the gentlemen that were clearing and cleaning tables in the food court was extremely friendly and helpful. I was very delighted by that! He is one of the primary reasons for a 5 star rating. Great visit!

Ok I have two family members that work at Dillard and I listen to them complain about this new manager that was hired first he fired my mother because of something very simple that shouldn't have even been looked at my other family member that works there asked for a day off one month in advance and didn't get it. I must add these two employees are never late work overtime and do everything they need to do but still one got fired and one doesn't get anything this manager is racist in my opinion and he doesn't need to be managing anyone. He's the one who needs to be fired, I should hope Dillards would do something about this very soon. If not, I will make sure I do. Thank you.

Malls are disappearing across the country and this location is no exception. There were empty stores but there are staples such as Dillard's, Macy's, and Apple. Overall I'm saddened by the disappearing mail, but I get it. I'm saddened because there are so many mail memories in my childhood and children's childhood and now, another piece is being erased. But, the parking is usually abysmal and too much is overpriced,

I love Lakeside Mall and my favorite stores is Hot Topic, Apple Store, Microsoft Store, GameStop, Go Games and Toys, and Victoria's Secret

Eh a mall's a mall. Were the employees the kindest, most professional around? No not really. But in my opinion - it's a mall. Whaddaya gonna do? Lol sure it could've made my shopping experience more delightful, but I'm here on a mission! I'll give ya 3 stars just because no one was blatantly rude but no one really went out of their was to show any kind of customer service. Except the lady who sold me the perfume inside Dillard's. She was a total doll!

The ladies were acting unprofessional whit me as a customer, they were laughing at me because my accent, also they were not wearing any gloves and mask to serve ice crean, very unprofessional, I definitely not recommend this place, also if I can give "0" stars i will.

As much as I prefer not to go into a mall I am glad we have Lakeside mall as an option in the Metairie area. Sometimes it's unavoidable that you have to run in and grab a gift or something for yourself. In the age of the declining malls Lakeside continues to grow and improve. Here in the Metairie and New Orleans areas we do not have many department stores, but it's nice to have the option of Macy's, Dillard's and JC Penny should the need arise. I prefer to shop local whenever possible, and honestly wish more locally owned shops could and would make their way into the mall. Maybe one day, a gal can dream. Until then when the need arises for a bigger department store shopping trip I'm glad this one is available.

Lakeside Shopping Center is definitely the nicest mall in the area and easily blows Oakwood, Esplanade, and Clearview Mall out of the water. The good thing about Lakeside is that they seem to keep up with the times. The stores are all very current and trendy and the mall is renovated pretty regularly and has a nice fresh look. Whenever I have to take a trip to Lakeside I try to go during the week because it's not as packed with young people (get off my lawn) and really the only people you have to deal with are retirees and mall walkers. They have nice shops that you aren't going to find at other malls and I'm a fan of the MAC store, Athleta, Macy's and Sephora. They also have MULTIPLE bra stores that aren't Victoria's Secret and I can't express enough how important something like that is, because sometimes you like to have options. The food court has a nice selection of eateries, although most are not-so-healthy fast food and if you're looking to eat healthy, Byblos Express is pretty much your only option. Outside of the mall itself they have P.F. Chang's, which has been there since I was in high school, and The Cheesecake Factory. The mall also regularly holds fun events here such as little performances during the holiday season and bridal shows. I don't get to the mall much, but if you're looking to do a day of indoor shopping, this is definitely the spot.

My Boyfriend decided to be romantic and take me to the mall. After all, it's every girl's dream to go shopping! I am giving this place two stars because while it is infinitely better than Esplanade mall, it could have been a better mall tbh. I really like the game store, we got too many board games in preparation for our quarter life crisis.

Nice mall out in NOLA, they have few regular stores I would shop at but also they have souvenir shops that were really affordable to buy gifts to take back home. Food court is actually quite big and have a wide selection to choose from too!

They have the stores I like for sure. As with most malls it's rampant with teenagers hanging out there not really shopping. :) I'm a fan of pottery barn, pottery barn kids and restoration hardware. They have the Apple store inside which is always packed!!! Vans was a great addition and love the A&F, Hollister, and Gap stores. The Disney store is awesome and I am a fan of JC penny and Macy's for general perusing. The Mignon Faget store and Sephora pull my teenage daughter in like a moth to a flame. I went into Zumiez a few days ago but because of the incessant cursing by the staff members I quickly departed. While I can appreciate their goods I don't care to hear the stuff that came with it. There's a Cheesecake Factory restaurant which I haven't tried here yet... and good old cafe du monde. Just sayin what's wrong with shopping and killin some beignets ???

While this is the best mall in the greater New Orleans metro area, it does leave something to be desired. It does have a variety of stores. The only Apple store in the area, Macy's, Pottery Barn, clothing stores, decent selection of options in the food court. To the reviewer complaining about all of the stores being the full price option, I say, of course, this is a mall, not an outlet mall, of course this is not going to be a deeply discounted mall, nothing in the advertising states that it will be. There are sales in the individual stores for back to school, holidays and the like. They also host a bridal show in the common areas in the spring, which I think is nice, and of course the usual holiday trappings for the more consumer holidays. The decorations can be over the top. I really enjoy coming here, people watch, mall walk, or just shopping. I tend to stay away during the holidays because of crowds, but that's all good. There are plenty of options for all sorts of fashion tastes. Parking can be hectic. There are three parking garages, and a large regular parking lot. There is a Cheesecake Factory and Red Lobster as stand alone buildings in the large regular parking lot in the north east corner (Causeway and 17th). Macy's, JC Penny and Dillard's are the major stores.

Lakeside Mall is conveniently located in the heart of Metairie. Thanks to 3 garages parking isn't an issue and you can stay dry in bad weather. The mall is clean, brightly lit, has lots of popular stores and a pretty decent food court. There are several full service restaurants in or around the mall - no farther than the parking lot. There's also a Starbucks inside - and one outside!

Growing up I used to take piano lessons here at Werlein's when I was in elementary school so I've been coming to this mall for 20+ years. I am not a big fan of malls (or shopping) but Lakeside is as good as it gets for us in the NOLA area. There are plenty of trendy and useful stores at this mall. The food court was just recently renovated within the past 2 years and looks great now. I heard many years ago that Lakeside was one of the busiest malls in the region and their parking lot kind of backs that claim up. The parking lot is always packed even with 3 parking garages. Would I choose Lakeside over other malls in the area to do my shopping? Yes. It has an Apple store, Michael Kors, Macy's, Banana Republic, Disney, Jean Therapy, Hollister, Brookstone, Forever XXI, and many other great stores. Lakeside is and probably always will be the place where New Orleanians go to shop.

So I ordered a cookie cake the week that there was a Groupon at the end of July. I ordered the cake on a Friday for pickup on Saturday. My wife went in at about 8:45 pm to get the cake. It was a 16" round for the youth at church to celebrate their academic achievement this past school year. The cake was for the following Sunday. Well, when she arrived there was no cake. They searched and searched and my wife (bless her) kept the pressure on until they agreed to bake it Sunday morning for pickup at 10:00 am. I give them five stars for accommodating us and creating a scrumptious cake. It was the best cookie cake I've had in a very long time. Maybe cause it was fresh. They allowed us to come in before they opened to get the cake. I took one star off for losing the order in the first place and for almost giving me a heart attack.

this mall needs to get under control!! i went here a few weeks ago with my friends to hang out and it was a normal day. one of my friends and i were seated in the food court eating lunch while our other friend was using the bathroom when all of a sudden there were 2 loud pops and flashes of light. someone screamed "they're shooting!" and the mall went into complete havoc. i grabbed my friend's arm and we ran into the gap store because it was the nearest to us to escape. i have to give gap props, they were very quick in leading us into the back and taking us to a back exit. when we were there, everyone was pushing and shoving each other and i almost twisted my ankle trying to walk out. me and my friend were standing out in the pouring rain for nearing 45 minutes trying to find our friend who got lost while she was in the bathroom when come to find out, there never was a shooting at all! it was a lighting strike from the storm and since people were screaming "they're shooting theyre shooting!" everyone in the mall thought that there was an actual active shooter and it was so chaotic. i even saw on twitter where someone who was also at lakeside that day said many old people were trampled unnecessarily in all of the chaos :(( lakeside needs to get better procedures in hand in case of events like this repeating themselves (because apparently there was a false alarm shooting just like this one back in december as well!)

The Mall that defies the odds! What I love about this location is that fact that it is timelessly defying the trends of indoor malls shutting down left and right. The Northshore Mall in Slidell recently died when they shut down the entire interior. The Esplanade Mall in Kenner is grasping at its final years more than likely. But the Lakeside Mall just keeps on keeping on and I love that! They're packed on weekday afternoons and on weekends you'll struggle to find parking. While this is usually a complaint for most folks, nostalgic Gen-X types like me see it as a sign that the world hasn't totally moved on quite yet. The Lakeside was the place to be back when I was a kid and apparently that much is still true today. I give 4 stars instead of 5 for the simple reason that most of the stores inside aren't casual type establishments. Most are higher end locations. You won't find an arcade or a used video game store here. I suppose this complaint is the same reason that the mall is doing so well in today's climate, so the missing star is more related to the fact that there isn't much there for me as a shopper, but that doesn't really matter so long as they are serving the larger public need. I'm just glad to know there is still something out there holding back the slow takeover of internet shopping.

Lakeside was always my go to mall since I lived nearby. Traffic is usually a pain since it's in a busy area of Metairie. Don't let that stop you. It's worth going to Lakeside since they have a good selection of stores and restaurants nearby the mall.

This mall honestly gives me a headache, but the store variety is so much better than the literal Mall of Louisiana. There's just a weird smell all over the mall- it's like good and bad at the same time. Not a fan of that, but the stores are nice!

Highly recommend this mall for serious shoppers. Very large mall with amazing selection of stores and food. Great place for families to spend time and money.

It has Apple store so I come. The crowd is always rough with lots of kids hanging around being loud. But again it has the Apple Store. I hope they move.

Went to the food court yesterday and had a bite to eat. The spaced out table we sat at was dirty with crumbs and grease. I'm assuming bacteria and bodily fluids too. They just really need staff hovering after each guest to immediately clean and sanitize tables and back of chairs. Unless they have good insurance. All the stores seem to be doing the best they can to prevent the spread of any virus.

I always have the best experiences here. Great shopping, great food, festive atmosphere. Plenty of parking and covered garages are an everyday option. Definitely the place to shop for everything.

The best shopping center in the area. Although I've grown to stay away from the mall unless there's a huge sale that truly needs my attendance, Lakeside has always been the nicer one to go to. Usually kept clean and always busy- it's the one to go to when you want to shop at Macy's, JcPenney, Apple, Victoria's Secret, or just walk around to blow some time and enjoy some coffee and beignets. Let me tell you a secret about the busy parking- just go straight to the 3rd floor of the garage. There will always be a spot and all you have to do is walk a little- but you'll save so much time compared to waiting around with a blinker to only find that the person is going back inside.

Lakeside Shopping Center as a whole is great ...... but ...... DO NOT BUY SUNGLASSES AT THE BIG EASY SHADES KIOSK BY THE FOOD COURT They'll lie and tell you you can make exchanges as a way to coax you into making a purchase under false pretenses because as soon as you try to make an exchange you will be assumed to be a liar for claiming you were told that and then insulted for not being able to read a non-existent "All sales are final" sign and insulted again for "it isn't that hard" to purchase the sunglasses you want the first time. When, by the way, you're indoors with no windows in sight. Terrible experience. Lots of places sell sunglasses. Don't shop somewhere that lies to and insults customers. And this is the first time in my life I've ever left a bad review anywhere, so take that as a cue that my experience was indeed THAT bad.

*heavy sigh* I love shopping malls. There's just something about having all the stores in one building that gets me! But, Lakeside is such a let down. It seems it's impossible to find good service anywhere but Buckle. It's like they pull all the employees that other retail workers don't want and put them here. Disappointing.

Loved the experience of this mall clean and great workers especially kenya did not expect anybody to gst door for me but she was mord than happy to open door for everybody i saw come in and out keep up the good work.... GIVE HER A RAISE!!! :)

Is always clean and decent. Nice parking area and I always see the guard around the mall.

Decent mall especially if you know what your looking for in a store. Has the major anchors of Macy's, Dilliards and JCPenny. Not incredibly large but packed with some upscale stores.

As many times as I go to this mall I am shocked I haven't reviewed it before! Well, Quite frankly this is THE mall in NOLA. It has all of my favorite stores in order of proximity to parking at Macy's ie, Fossil (love their watches and leather goods), Banana republic (they have a petite section), Metry chick kiosk for local goods (Sarah Ott's NOLA Necklace), Williams Sonoma (for my Mom and chef friend that used to work at Emeril's), Sephora (I'm a cardholder), Disney store (for nieces and nephews), Mignon Faget (adding to my charm bracelet, have her rings, pendants etc), Francesca's (cute for accessories and clothes), Apricot Lane (right next door to Francesca's), Godiva (great for presents, love their truffles), Nine West, Apple Store, Michael Kors (Courtney is fantastic!), Lee Michaels (my favorite jewelry store!), and Dillard's! And they have renovated the food court and restrooms so it looks light, modern and bright! Love the skylights and bright furniture! And the ladies restroom is gorgeous with a huge family restroom. Happy shopping!

Lakeside mall is the best mall within (a reasonable) driving distance from my home. It's easy to find and if you get there early enough parking isn't a pain in the rear. They have the BEST stores to spend all of your hard earned moola in... For my fellow domestic friends: --------------------------- Macy's Pottery Barn Williams Sonoma (SWOON) Restoration Hardware For my fellow girlie girls: --------------------------- MAC L'Occitane Bare Minerals Bath and Body Works Sephora (hello lover) Victoria's Secret Earthsavers For my fellow parents: ---------------------------- Pottery Barn Kids Disney Store Gap Kids Gymboree It's always really crowded. The food court choices really aren't great. But still. I love this mall. Oh. There's a Whole Foods practically right across the street, too. :)

This is the modern day jungle or maybe the Savanna. This mall is filled will all different types of people on the hunt. They are hunting for bargains or the chance to be the first to snag whatever the coveted prize of the week is. You can see all kinds of people in their native habitats from hoochies to hipsters and even the ever increasing numbers of pajama walkers blended in among the aging mall walkers who will blow past you so fast you will feel like a pokey slob. To be successful on your hunt you have to navigate the crowds of teenagers walking in groups and the gaggle of girls whispering and taking up the whole side of the mall travel lane, all this while avoiding the cloud of invisible A&F stench at one end of the mall and the Hollister/ Aero cloud at the other. Smack in between is a strategically placed food court filled with some of the most enticing smells known to mankind. This mall has some of the most well-known stores. Apple, Macy's , Dillard's, and more. There are lots of little carts in the center that expand into full size stores after Thanksgiving. The selection is wonderful, and there is very little you can't find here. You should be able to take down quite a few sales quite easily. The patrons here are unlike the crowds in the French Quarter. There are women with outfits and jewelry that cost more than my car, and at Christmas, image is everything. If you want to be seen by the social elite without having to pay for a plate or a cover charge, this is the place to do it. Everyone from movie stars to rap royalty to local celebrities and politicians have been spotted at Lakeside Mall in Metairie.

I love going here. The food court is amazing. So much to choose from. Also a lot of my favorite stores. So I don't need to drive around.

It's a mall. It has national chain stores...but also a few local ones (Mignon Faget, Adler's, Jean Therapy). It's actually really well kept up and clean. The food court is a zoo but again it's usually pretty clean and has a good variety of foods (but it's always loud). It's the only location left in the city with a William-Sonoma and Macy's. So I go when I need that sort of thing. They've actually improved the parking over the years so props for that. Now if the Causeway construction would just finish...

Nice improvements to a dated mall. The much needed expansion on the restrooms won't be disappointing. The staff actually stand by in the food court to receive or clean your trays. The best expansion is parking! I was sad to see Great American Cookies were still remodeling. I miss my cheese cake brownies.

Today I went to Dillard's Mac cosmetics in Lakeside mall! I was greeted by Thuy Trinh. I explained to her my goals in makeup and what I was in need of help with ! She was very helpful with matching my colors suggesting things I didn't have as well as went over and beyond to show me the technique of how to apply! When a make up artist truly has a interest in their job it is such a wonderful experience !Thuy truly enjoys making women feel And look their best and I left there feeling like a model with out a cake over face! She kept it real to what type of look I wanted! I will For sure go back to see her soon and recomend her to all my friends !

It's a mall. Food court is way too small and dirty. Get away from the food court and it's a clean mall with offerings for about anything you need. Parking is hot or miss.

Lakeside has really become quite a premier shopping area. It has most major moderate priced stores. Large retailers including Dillard's, Macy's, and JC Penney. It also has several other stores like Banana Republic, Gymboree, J Crew, Cache, Restoration Hardware, Crabtree & Evelyn, Aveda, Express, Gap, Old Navy and Victoria Secret. The food court has everything too. Popeyes, Sbarro, a cookie company, McDonald's, Chik fil A, a Philly Cheesesteak place, Smoothie King and a ice cream company. I enjoy coming to this mall.

Eh. This place was okay. It did go through a remodeling session since my friend's last visit here. It's not the largest mall either, but it was fairly large with some decent department and those hipster stores: Macy's, BR, Sephora, AX, Guess, Express. From what my friend gathers, it seems like the bathrooms and food court went through some changes and upgrades as well. Definitely things are for the better for this shopping center. It's not the most awesome pick for a place to shop, but it's the better of the options. Parking was okay. With any mall during the holiday season, spaces are limited but can still be found as people leave.
