"Thank goodness Chad Barlow took over Marie’s Kitchen, which sat empty since the pandemic. Barlow’s Slap Burgers blend a quarter pound of 80/20 ground beef with three secret ingredients (ok, one is butter). It’s way juicy despite being cooked to medium well. Barlow dresses them with his secret sauce modeled after In-N-Out burgers, crispy Vlasic dills, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and yellow American cheese, all on a toasted brioche bun. Starting at $10, there’s a single Slap, a double, and the quad — four patties fully dressed. Best for: Eating a great burger in a great dive bar" - Beth D’Addono
"This longtime cash-only neighborhood bar is rife with colorful regulars. It’s the kind of place to throw back $3 beers and shoot some pool. You can add good grub to that list as well, in the form of the Slap Burger, hot sausage po’ boys, and chicken tenders." - Eater Staff
"Just about any amount of alcohol can be countered by a double-slap burger at Marie’s Bar and Kitchen. Chef and owner Chad Barlow grills the juiciest burgers, despite cooking them medium well, thanks to a secret ingredient. (Hint: butter). Dressed with special sauce inspired by In-N-Out Burger’s, these burgers take care of business." - Beth D'Addono
"This longtime divey corner bar is home to one of the best burgers in town, Chad Barlow’s slap burgers. He blends a quarter-pound of 80/20 ground beef with three secret ingredients, (one is butter), always juicy despite being cooked to medium well. Barlow dresses them with his secret sauce modeled after In-N-Out Burger’s, crispy Vlasic dills, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and yellow American cheese, all on a toasted brioche bun." - Beth D’Addono
"One of the best dive bars in the Marigny, Marie’s is a family-run spot that combines a great juke box with seriously bad ass bloody marys (or Maries as they call them here). Shoot a game or two of pool and mingle with the regulars. A great place to dip in on Lundi Gras or Mardi Gras Day." - Beth D’Addono
