Lakeview Harbor

First time coming here after finding another foodies review. The corn and crab bisque is delicious. They were making a fresh batch when we showed up. The burgers were spot on for "delicious," and the baked potato was great, too. My husband had the "Spicy Burger" and it was very tasty. They make their own hot sausage to add in, and it was full of flavor.

The food was positively outstanding, however, the service was awful. We received our salad after our entree, and our appetizer came without plates. The server did eventually give us plates for it, though, kind of as an afterthought. Not once did she offer to refill our drinks, and only once did she check on us to see how things were. Her attitude was definitely off, and she handed stuff to me, or put them on the table opposite where we were seated, and slid them towards us. We asked for more napkins and she gave us exactly two - one more paper napkin each. If the food hadn't been spectacular, I would have left, but it was so well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. I don't know if I want to return. I definitely do for the food, but I don't want to be treated like a bother. The server definitely needs a lot more training.

Best burgers in New Orleans. All are fresh and cooked to order which is a rare feat. The fried mushrooms and artichokes are simply incredible, but all the sides are super yummy--the grilled asparagus is a favorite. Surprisingly, the grilled chicken sandwich is perhaps one of the better ones around--large and moist. For a great nautical/beach drink, try the massive (or smaller) "Life Jacket" (on the rocks is best), and it comes with a huge cup with the crest and logo of the restaurant on it! My only gripe is that the stamped concrete floors could use a coverup. Luxury vinyl light-colored wood-like flooring would make the restaurant more comfortable and nudge it to be that little bit nicer, which would go a long way. Not to mention the less dense flooring would be easier on the staff's feet and knees! A refresh & update was recently done that was much needed, but the iron gray paint choice is a little unfortunate--light color makes spaces feel clean and open, so an off-white, cream, or straight-up white would brighten it up and make the space bigger and feel cleaner. Just make sure you use high gloss for easy cleanability. But at the end of the day, the burger, which is the heart of the house, is top-notch and what you should be there for. Last but not least, the restaurant always has great staff who are friendly and do a great job!

Love it. It's a go-to for locals. TV, nice bar and sports bar tables or restaurant style with separate dining. I usually sit at the bar and get average service. The food is fantastic. Hot honey buffalo chicken on a bun with fries, hamburger comes with a baked potato, and shrimp and catfish platter with fries. A little expensive but worth it. Make sure you ask the prices of wine before you go paying $15 for an average glass. Highly recommend the place of course I drink Miller lite. LOL

Not much decor involved here. However, it is a typical eatery. We had the boiled shrimp 🍤 with a side of potatoes 🥔 and corn on the cob 🌽 which was far better than some of the other similar restaurants we have eaten at. Also had their hot sausage po-boy which seemed to be a homemade sausage pattie that was very tasty that came on what was a french bread roll. Kudos 👏 to them for providing far better quality food. Service was great as well.

The food is really good and there’s a great selection. They’ll even accommodate you if you want to tweak one of their menu items. We come here because their Buffalo Wings are the closest we can find to the original at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. Plus, the burgers are the BEST!

My husband and I visited Lakeview Harbor after hearing some good reviews from the locals. Well, they were absolutely right! It is the best burger ever! We frequented Lakeview during our visit and tried a variety of meals, all of which were fantastic! Service was fast and very friendly and we were made to feel as welcome as any local resident. We still frequent this restaurant whenever in NOLA. A must try!

Asked for a table for eight and our party was on the way, hostess said they just needed to clear a table. Went to the bar and received the weakest drink and was never asked for brand preference. Asked hostess if table was ready and told our party had to be present."Nice to have known up front." Ordered a BBQ burger, and description was a burger stuffed with cheddar and topped with Monterey Jack, so much for the stuffed burger. Service was spoty at best, ordered a beer, and received different than ordered. Gumbo, don't bother. BBQ ribs dry.

Good food and great service! Typical N. O. LA atmosphere! We will be back! Thank you Sondra!

Lakeview Harbor is in a great location near the lakefront and the restaurant and bar area have a relaxed and casual vibe. Ordered the spinach dip and it's tasty. However, it comes with chips that resemble and taste like Tostitos. I would order this appetizer again though! For my entree, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. This sandwich is juicy, tastes good, and comes with a baked potato. One of my main critiques of Lakeview Harbor is that everything is a charge. To sub fries instead of the baked potato is over two dollars and if you do get the baked potato, every topping is a charge. I will continue to go to Lakeview Harbor because I enjoy the chicken sandwich and the vibes!

By far, the best crawfish I have ever eaten!!! Believe me, I have eaten A LOT of places!! Crawfish were perfectly seasoned, easy to peal and the price were very reasonable!!!

Super friendly and accommodating staff and servers. Food is not something I would come back for, however. This is a great place for a big group to come and hangout. I would only return if there was an event there with friends, not for the food.

Can't say enough good things about this lakeview neighborhood staple! The wings are amazing! The steaks are consistent. The smoked beans are absolute ! Even their chili is respectable! No beans in that though... Probably the most consistent, yet unassuming restaurant in lakeview/lakeside. Always my go to. Never had a bad meal or experience here.

Great cheeseburger and baked potato. Also tried the fried pickles and they were delicious- lightly breaded and with a nice dipping sauce. The burger is huge and it's cooked to perfection. Added bacon and cheddar. It's a good 1/2 pound, so you'll leave full. Atmosphere is good, very casual. If you're looking for a great burger, add this to your just visit places.

Got the burger and onion rings, both were very tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. Great casual vibe. If you're looking for a little dive spot for watching sports and eating some pub food, it's a great place to hit up.

What a great New Orleans restaurant, I got the shrimp platter, with potato salad and fries. Half onion rings. It was so delicious I forgot to take a picture. Definitely be coming back.

Food ( burgers & potatoes) good . Service left a lot to be desired. Waitress acted like she was doing us a favor . It was not busy so thats not an excuse. Very , very noisy though. But overall will definitely give it another try . We visit just about every time we are in town . Miss Harrison place .

I really wanted a nice crisp Caesar salad before work so I planned enough time for a normal restaurant lunch. But apparently not enough for Lakeview Harbor. When I arrived, there was no hostess in sight and one couple was already waiting at the counter. Not having an abundance of time, I took a few steps into the dining room. There were no customers, but the staff (all the staff) had pushed 3 4-tops together and were carefully setting them up. I told the server that I had limited time and that there were already others waiting for the hostess. The server looked at me as though I was totally inappropriate and said "we're setting a table." Again, no one except all of the employees was in the dining room. (And BTW, that critically important table that they were setting had only seated 2 people by the time I left.) My bad. I know better, I should've left then. Eventually a young man came out and said that I could seat myself. I wasn't given a menu, but ordered what I could remember from a previous visit so that I wouldn't miss an opportunity to order. The nice, crisp Caesar salad may have been crisp a day or two ago, but not today, and the dressing was so salty that I couldn't eat it. My drink was not what I had ordered. I also ordered some cheese sticks, they were passable, but a long way from good. I took those with me because I was hungry and running out of time. That would have been enough for a crappy experience but, they added something extra! A football game on the large screen TVs -- normally no problem, until they cranked up the volume so high that dining chairs were vibrating with the sound. (At this point there were still only 7 adults in the dining room -- 5 of them trying to hold conversations plus 2 toddlers who couldn't yell loud enough to be heard over the tv.) In summary: $27+ for some somewhat edible cheese sticks in a completely inhospitable environment.

Hamburgers, baked potato's, and wings are delicious. Don't ever order the steak special.

Walked in ,went to the Bar . 10 minutes later bartender never turned around. Walked out apparently they don't need the money.

Not going to say much other than Don't bother with this place. Pricing / food quality/ just forget it. But it's open so someone likes it.

It's filled properly fried chicken and a good Caesar dressing. If you're looking for a light meal to share, this would work. The beans are amazing. They got plenty of meat and just enough heat to make you want some more. In the top ten beans I've had. The service has been great for a weekday. The weekends it can get kinda crowded, but the staff is great. It's got that dive bar feeling kinda like port-o-call, so don't expect a quiet environment--but don't fret--The food is great. Deff worth coming by.

The burger was not cooked to our lining. The service was mediocre. Food mediocre. Nothing was bad but nothing was good either. With so many other spots nearby, no need to go back.

We came for my husbands birthday but have been before and they're consistently good. Burgers cooked nicely with fresh meat, good apps and service. My husband got a burger that was a special and said it was different but really good. I got a regular cheese burger, delicious! Comes with a huge baked potato, you can load it. It's about $21 for a cheeseburger and a loaded baked potato which is steep but you're on the lake it's to be expected. We got an order of fried mushroom, it was only a half order but you got a lot for $6.50. The wings are good, but the buffalo sauce is what pulls it together for me. My son got fried shrimp and it was a nice amount and they were good I tried one. Our server Bailey was really sweet and helpful. Overall a great place. They also have a bar attached that looked really fun!

It took 15mins just to get a hostess to help and put us in the list. Then, we was sat down and it took another 20mins for a server to come take our drink order. After that we sat another hour and still no food so we laid for the drinks and left. Came back the next day to Try their food and the burger was dry. Imma give it zero stars but I have to give 1

So, another wonderful comfort meal at Lakeview Harbor. I'm telling you, you need to come to this place and give it a try; the food is delicious, and it just a comfortable relaxing place. The hostess, waitress, and cooks are all fantastic. I didn't know what I wanted, and I loved their diverse menu of comfort food. I ordered the chicken alfredo with fried chicken (I mean, if you're going to do it, let's do it). That selection comes with a side salad. The food was delicious, and the portions were enormous; I had enough to take home. Thanks again to Lynn and Christine for making my dining experience top-notch!

We love Lakeview Harbor and tonight was no exception. I had the chicken bacon ranch wrap with crispy fried chicken (Christine our favorite waitress suggested the fried chicken) it was delicious. I told her to tell Shawn N. who made it he did a fantastic job. The service and overall vibe of the restaurant makes you feel right at home. Thank you Team Harbor for another fantastic meal!

Went today for lunch. We had the chicken caesar and the filet sandwich. They have really upped their game! Food was great and the service was even better!

This is my first time here in many years, and my first time going to this location. I'll preface this review by saying that the burger is the only thing I've ever gotten at LH. The last time I went at the old location the burger was small and sad and over cooked. My husband and I really wanted Port of Call but they were packed so we decided to give LH another try. So glad we did! We got the pork belly burnt end app which was very good. Then we both got the burger, medium rare, with mushrooms and cheese, and a salad with bleu cheese dressing as the side. The burger was perfectly cooked, tasted incredibly fresh. The salad was big for a side salad and the dressing was delicious! If you haven't been in a while, you should give them a try.

I wish I could give this restaurant zero stars. I went with my family and had my support animal with me. It is a bengal cat - very smart cat with proper tags. I walked in, sat down, no problems. My support cat sat on my lap, quiet and content. We were both happy. Then a woman came over with the waitress, never identified herself and asked me over and over it my cat was a support animal and had proper identity. I kept telling her yes, she has her tags. I showed them to her. She then told me to put the cat in her carrier. I was upset and did what she said. I have my support animal for stress and anxiety which leads to migraines. I got so stressed I had to leave. I will never go there again.

I love this place. I do miss the old location because this place does not have that divey vibe, but this location is good and it is HUGE. Good for Saints games or any group you wanna bring. The staff is always on point. They are knowledgeable and fast. I was with some sour peeps, unfortunately. And I hesitated to answer the question on what I recommend they order since it only results in negativity, but I said of course everything is good here, but they are known for their burgers and delicious fully loaded baked potatoes. I was actually torn between ordering those yummy jumbo fried shrimp poboys they have here. I ended up ordering the cheese burger and the fully loaded baked potato. And of course the complaints of my unfortunate company, began. They were irritated that they had to pay extra for every topping on the burger and the potato, and sadly inflation is affecting EVERYTHING, they just wanted to complain though of course. The glistening burger arrives with that sweet, fully loaded baked potato just as I remember it. It took up the entire plate. I freaking love this burger. And I never used to eat burgers with the white raw onion. Now I do all the time! I also can never get my baked potatoes to taste as melty good as these potatoes are. What are you people doing?! How do you do make them so fluffy?! I bit into that glistening burger and that meat just melts. It tastes almost like it's ground up filet mignon or beef tongue, something super tender. It was amazing and I heard angles sing! Then, the singing angles were ripped from my peaceful ear drums in sort of a scratched record sound to the tone of barking from the complaints of my sour co-diner. Her burger was too pink for her liking, she didn't approve of her burger falling apart either, and she made sure - I knew - she should have ordered the fried shrimp poboy. Knowing my only flaw was mentioning what this place is known for, I closed my eyes in response to her misery she was trying to suck me into and took another bite of that glorious, melting, fliet mignon type burger and the angels returned! I finished that entire plate in like 2.5 minutes. Although, this particular dining experience was not as wonderful as past ones, that was not the restaurants' fault. I give this place 5 stars all day, every day. And that burger and potato - 1 million stars!

Sadly disappointed with our dinner. This will be a one and done for us. Over priced and good quality was not good. $11.00 for potato skins that you could tell were out of the freezer. The fried pickles were okay but the bottom layer were soaked in grease. We were excited for the roast beef poboy until it came out looking like dog food on a pistolet. See pics.

A fabulous place to get a great meal! From their 5 star burgers to poboys to salads-- just check them out!! So yummy!!

Went here one day when Port of Call was closed for repairs and I was craving a monsoon. Came here because of the overlap in menus, and was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger the menu was. The pricing is about the same, but it feels less comfortable here. Just hard wooden chairs in a more corporate feeling type atmosphere. Ordered my typical burger, potato, and typhoon. I was really annoyed that all the toppings were extra, so I had to go sparingly. Service was okay, can't really complain, but it wasn't the experience that I was looking for. The food was okay. The price was fine, except for adding all the toppings in separately. Overall? Just okay. Would I go back? Probably not, but for what it was worth, it was fine.

This was the worst dining experience that I have ever had. 63$ without tip. Food was under cooked waited 45 minutes for it to come out. Immediately asked for a box to take the food home that way I can attempt to salvage what I regret paying for. Staff looked overwhelmed, so there didn't seem to be any reason to even attempt to rectify this situation. I will never ever ever go back or recommend this place.

Food was terrible, server left us sitting without checking in and then would drop plates in front of us and leave. It took an hour to get food and it wasn't cooked. They charge extra for fries but give maybe a handful, maybe. Do not recommend! $70 meal that was not worth it.

So my co-worker and I were talking about places to get a good hamburger and he recommended this restaurant. The service was the highlight of the night. We had just come from Cafe Du Monde in City Park and wanted to get something more substantial than beignets. Overall, the food was underwhelming. Everything needed seasoning. My wife and I split the original burger, which came with a baked potato. We also ordered a side of onion rings. My son got the chicken tenders and my daughter shared a shrimp platter with her friend, which came with fries and corn and shrimp bisque. As I stated earlier, everything was under seasoned. The onion rings were ok; the baked potato, while cheesy and bacony, was just ok; the burger was ok. When asked how was your shrimp, my daughter responded by saying "I've had better." Something was off with the bisque. Can't explain it, but I took one sip and was turned off. My wife didn't care for it either. So maybe this isn't the place to get seafood. As for the chicken tenders, they looked and smelled great. Honestly, everything looked and smelled great. So when my son said he was full after eating four and didn't want to take the rest home, I was suspicious. This boy can put away some food. Maybe it was an off night. The restaurant was clean and they have great looking tv screens throughout the place. It might be off the chain if you're drunk. But if that's the case, you could save yourself some money and go to Waffle House.

My first time at Lakeview Harbor. Great local Place with the locals still enjoying the ambiance and great Louisiana cuisine. Service was great, food hot and enjoyed my meal.

Awesome Red Beens and Rice. Drinks too. Plus gambling. Definitely a recommendation. Try it out.

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews! I know this is a seafood place but honestly they've got the best steak game in the neighborhood.

My husband told me about this little place after he had a delicious and affordable filet mignon one day for a lunch break. Obviously I had to Yelp it first. And seeing that it had low reviews, I was naturally hesitant. BUT I always like to try places for myself and give them the benefit of the doubt...and I'm so glad I did! It was brunch time when we came so I was leaning more towards something breakfasty so I got the chicken and waffles instead of the filet mignon that the hubs so desperately wanted me to try. Also, they offered breakfast and lunch menu so we had a lot to choose from! We ordered a half order of onion rings as an app and chicken and waffles and a ribeye with eggs for entree. Let me just say, they do not skimp on the portion sizes. And we like a good bang for your buck. The half order of onion rings was larger than we thought and it was pretty good! They're huge in size and the batter was very crispy and flavorful. The chicken and waffles was soo delicious! The chicken tenders were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The waffles had a slight crisp on the outside, but fluffy on the inside. Paired with syrup on the side..my mouth is watering! I can be picky with my home fries but these were soft and also packed with flavor-not just potatoey like some other home fries can be. My husband's steak was delicious as well. Cooked perfectly, paired with some sunny side up eggs and home fries as well. He couldn't complain! The steak was nicely seasoned and the eggs add a nice breakfasty touch. Since I didn't get the filet mignon that we actually came here for, we're definitely coming back! Also can't wait to try other items on the menu. Definitely recommend!

This is the worst $30 I have ever spent in my life. I ordered the roast beef debries, fries and a typhoon. The roast beef was very average no seasoning what's go ever. The drink was horrible. I won't ever be back. First time and last time

Great casual restaurant. Burger and baked potato is my Go To and it never disappoints. Fried catfish and jambalaya meal is a real deal and they do it right!

Honestly, never disappointed when we come here. The staff is so nice. The food soooo good! Definitely deserves all 5 stars!!!

Amazing! The fact that this place has 2 and a half stars is devastating I am appalled. Great burgers. Great baked potatoes. Great everything. This should be a 5 star joint.

Went here for a birthday dinner so we had a large group. We had the tables to the front of the restaurant and only one waitress. The food took a while to come out. The food was okay. Not sure if the menu says it but there's no substitutions. Overall it was fine but as we were getting ready to leave a small roach crawled across one of the tables. The waitress didn't seem to shocked at the roach nor was she in a rush to clear the table. There's was nothing great about this restaurant so I probably wouldn't go back.

The owner of this establishment didn't pay this employees at another business for a least a months worth of pay if not more. (Muchomasnola) Now that business is closed and he's trying to open a new one in the same space. Summer is the slowest season in New Orleans and people depend on their paychecks to live. You should be ashamed of yourself !!

Nice restaurant good food,but $$$$ you are charged for everything!!! Baked potato? Yes please. Cheese $, sour cream $, butter $ bacon $ wow!!! Beer? Yes please miller lite $4.50 wow!!! That's a 400% markup injoy

Pleasantly surprised! We love a Port of Call burger but have to say that this burger was better. They missed on the baked potato because it was room temperature & with the sour cream & cheese was downright cold. Will definitely return but will ask for the potato fixings on the side. Place was a bit rundown and wasn't very busy but it was a Thursday night.

This was my first trip to the new-ish location. They've been here for a while now, so I'm kind of late to the party. This is the old Wasabi location, and it looks very similar inside. The decor is very dark, very basic, but the dining areas and bar are pretty spacious. Today I had the same thing I've always ordered and it was still as tasty as ever. I'm a sucker for their baked potato. I know they serve a mean burger as well, but today it was just the spud for me. I had it stuffed with cheese, sour cream, chives, and drumroll please.......marinated mushrooms. Their potatoes put any others I've had to shame. They're large, fluffy, they definitely don't skimp on the toppings, and those mushrooms - goodness gracious! - they're delicious. My server today was a very attentive, warm, lady who was so on top of things. This place has a laid back, very casual vibe. Their drinks have always been good, as well, although I didn't imbibe today. Maybe next time.

What do you do when hunger pains hit at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night, with a party of 12, and realize you are about eat at a restaurant that has two 2 & a 1/2 Yelp stars? Well...... My brother called a few restaurants to check the wait times and if they could accommadate a large party at the last minute. Luckily Lakeview Harbor was the only one who had availability. We were greeted, seated immediately, and the server took our drink order. We all were hungry and did not take long to review the menu. I played it safe and ordered a cheese burger well done with a baked potato. I prefer my burgers cooked between medium and medium well but the server stated that would have blood in the middle. Ok no need to second guess on this one because I don't do blood!!!! Impression of the burger: 1. I prefer sliced cheese than shredded. 2. It was a bit on the dry side and hard on the ends however; the vegetables and bread were fresh. All in All: It was edible and satisfied my hunger. The baked potato was pretty good. Lakeview Harbor is a relatively small restaurant with decent food and service. Parking is limited in the front so take advantage of the street or neutral ground.

Called in to this place to place a to go order because it's still- covid. Bartenders are rude as hell & mask less lol Where is mayor Cantrell when ya need her? You ask for market prices you don't get an answer. You don't even get a total before they hang up the phone in your face. You can have all the shitty service you want when your prices match the shitty service but BABYYYYY, if you're going to charge a fried seafood platter at $26.00 a MF plate I better get FIVE STAR SERVICE. The place is ran and serviced like a trashy bar off a service road in Kenner. For a $72.00 tab you can go to Mid city yacht club and get 2 roads of drinks for that. For a $72.00 to go tab with no alcohol you can get a fuck ton more food AND ALCOHOL for less money AND BETTER SERVICE. That's the principle in all this. Fuck this place and the white superiority complex that surrounds it don't waste your time or money. Ya SOBS lucky I could afford my tab and not make a scene on you snobby asses. Also to add THE CORN AND CRAB BISQUE TASTES 4 DAYS TOO OLD. Mozzarella sticks weren't cooked enough. Seafood might be on steroids but the fry batter itself is trash. Oh!! Add an extra $ to this price point for this joint. Only thing decent about this $72 tab was the half order of onion rings. The food was so bad it's in my trash bag and now I have to drink away the pain of the $72 we wasted. Say it with me everybody "Ripppppo offfffffff."

Haven't been here in a while and I remember why. Way overpriced!! 2.00 extra for a small portion of burnt fries instead of baked potato?!?! My son got the spaghetti and meatballs and the flavor was horrible. Don't get it! The burger...ZERO flavor and $15. Wish this restaurant was as good as it was when it was on Harrison. If you are looking for the old lake view harbor, it just doesn't exist anymore. Last, the service was great though.

Terrible pizza! Do not order if you have any appreciation for pizza. The taste is somewhere between Jeno's frozen and high school cafeteria.

A GREAT BURGER!!! I have found only *three old school char-burger places left in the city. They all serve 1/2 pounds of quality beef, topped with shredded cheddar, on undersized buns with a baked potato side. Lakeview Harbor is one of the three. THE PICTURE IS A CLASSIC You should be able to tell by my photo that this thick medium rare juicy burger is a satisfying rare delicacy. BUT OTHERWISE THIS IS A SHODDY RESTAURANT It's reminiscent of a college town bar that happens to have a restaurant buried between the video arcade and foosball table. * Trolley Stop, D'Mac's.

Lakeview Harbor now does breakfast. Went with my best friend and had mixed reviews. I had the biscuit and gravy and scrambled eggs and she had the breakfast burger. My biscuit was grilled on the flattop first and soaked up way too much grease and I just didn't like it and sent it back. My eggs were good. My friend's breakfast burger made of a combination of hamburger and breakfast sausage topped with cheese, bacon and a fried egg was excellent: super juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. We will definitely be back, despite the one misfire.

Pictures do no justice but definitely give you an idea of what kinda burger you can expect here. Its damn good. Even better if you like EVERYTHING on your burger and baked potato. Starting with the staff, Christine B. is the bomb. She is the best. We seem to get her more often than the other servers. She gets the order right EVERYTIME. She is obviously overqualified for this job but I hope she never quits because she is half the reason we come here. Next, the Typhoon. Dangerous but yummy. Similar to a Monsoon, it has the same kick to it. If you drink two of these, you are in trouble or you have a problem. Time to soak that second drink up with a big ass burger and potato. They make the burger how you like them every time. Never over or undercooked. Also the burger meats are something else. There is a hot sausage mixed version too if you want a little nip to your day. I find the prices are inline with other places and not over the top. If you are heading out to the lakefront , stop in here for that burger, grab a Typhoon for the road and hang out by the seawall and enjoy that drink.
