Neyow’s XL Steakhouse

This was our favorite restaurant the whole trip. Everything was delicious! The drinks were strong, the waiter/bartender was attentive and nice. The decor, ambiance, and murals were a nice touch. Ive been thinking about that salmon since I left.

Neyow’s XL Steakhouse delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was upscale yet inviting, with that signature New Orleans charm woven throughout. We came hungry and were not disappointed! I ordered the XL Burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and lived up to its name in size and taste. The pork belly bites were absolutely mouthwatering—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. We ended the meal with their bread pudding, and it was the perfect sweet finish—warm, rich, and indulgent. One of the standout moments of the night was when the chef came out personally to check on our table and make sure everything was to our liking. That level of hospitality really elevated the experience. If you’re looking for bold flavors, generous portions, and genuine Southern hospitality in NOLA, Neyow’s XL Steakhouse is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be returning!

The service and atmosphere are amazing. The restaurant is very intimate and the decore is sophisticated but fun. The food was really good, but the asparagus and bread pudding were spectacular. I will definitely come back.

Dinner last night was amazing, our server Windell was amazing and went above and beyond. The food was delicious and came out quick. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Windell for being so kind and accommodating

We went for brunch and everything was absolutely amazing! Our server, Faith, was very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. This place is DEFINITELY on our "must come back" list!

Let me start by saying THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD! We had the calamari to start which was breaded and fried to perfection however I wasn’t super impressed with the sauce that came with it. My husband had the gumbo and from the first bite all he could say was wow that’s good. I ordered the rib eye which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I also had the asparagus which was sooo good! The reason for my 3 stars is that our server was one of the worst I’ve ever had. I didn’t get her name but she had a short red fro. She only checked on us once during our meal, she brought my cocktail then we ordered food, but she never came back until the end of our meal and asked if we wanted any more water. Had calamari with no plate, bread with no plate, and steak without a steak knife for quite a while. This definitely could’ve been better.

We were able to get seated quickly. We did have a large party; so I expected some delay but the food and drinks were slow coming. Katrina our waitress was super great and accommodating. They had a singer who let us request songs so it was like a private show. I would go back. They also brought us oysters from mect door that were super good.

The food was very good and it had a great atmosphere. It's almost like we were at a club!

Made a dinner reservation for this place for an early birthday dinner and was not disappointed at all. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and is really quaint. The tables are decorated nicely and they have quite a few food options so that everyone can leave satisfied. Since we had eaten so much already in Nola I was not too hungry and opted for the salmon with fried shrimp on a bod of spinach and crawfish mac n cheese which was all so good. Our waitress was very nice and even brought me celebratory bread pudding for my birthday. At the end she even helped take our picture to commemorate this moment. Everything was great and I would definitely go back. My sisters enjoyed the beef medallions, the crab bisque and the sweet potatoes as well!!!

We had a party of 10 people & were able to get a room in the back. We ordered several things. The bow wow's, steak, salmon, burgers, chicken tenders & it all was good

Wouldn't visit when busy. The restaurant staff was completely overwhelmed on Mother's Day 2025. Waited 1hr 45min for our food to come after ordering. After food came, I repeatedly asked for missing food items, but never received them. Of course the items weren't missing on the bill lol. Fried trout was overcooked, so you may want to avoid that dish.

Took MZ there for the day before Fathers Day. It was rainy! The entrance to the restraint was flooded! You had no choice but to step in the 5 inch puddle unless you could jump over it-not!the owner needs to remedy this problem. We were greeted with a friendly smile and since it was early in the evening we were the first guest. Drinks were good. Good was good good! The atmosphere was amazing. It's a little snug, but we enjoyed the quiet time looking out the large bay window We'll go again, but not during the rain!

I made reservations for a group of 50 and I want to say thank you to Mrs.Tonya for making this happen.The food was delicious the service was excellent and the ambiance was awesome.I highly recommend everyone from Texas to go there and enjoy yourselves, it was truly down south comfort

Definitely not blown away or impressed; looks good tho! Party of 12 for birthday dinner. Only have round tables so we needed 2 tables which was in a tight space on the 2nd floor along with another birthday celebration of 20. The music was either barely there or at times, not at all. I did not get pictures of most of the food that was ordered. Everything looked appetizing. They also have a more laid back restaurant next door which has better food options and more laid back. We only had 2 waiters for 32 people. As you can imagine things were moving slow. Feel like if I have a good drink itll make it all better. I ordered Hurricane Neyow's which is $35; includes 7-shots Cane Rum Rum, pineapple juice, milgeo orange juice, cranberry. When i tell you it was just juice. They added more rum but i honestly feel like they didn't add it to begin with. The food was very bland. For the price this isn't worth it.

Food overpriced. Staff not attentive. Food selection minimum. Wine selection overpriced. Only 1 Bathroom for all genders. Service slow. Small plates. Staff compet for tips. Long wait for food service. Better off going to the reasonable priced, Neyow's Cafe(lower level) .

Celebrated my birthday with some friends on 10/3. The food, the service, and the ambiance were great. Will definitely make another visit.

The food was spectacular. Me and my sister got the red beans plate. 10/10. Our waitress was nice and the service its self was fast and the efficient. Ambience was 10/10 definitely recommend.

Everything was awesome. The best mimosas I ever had. I'm bringing my family back to experience this brunch vibe.

Wasn't prepared for the size of those dishes. Seriously y'all. They mean XL. Great space for a special occasion.

Food was definitely not worth the money. For it being a steakhouse my friend sent her steak back and still wasn't cook how she wanted. Will never go back. The other restaurant they have is way better!

Neyow's Sunday Brunch: Delicious food, excellent service, superb Ambiance! Wonderful experience!

Very nice and cozy, music great drinks. Gumbo was pretty good just wasn't warm enough. But very friendly and unique. But it's extremely expensive and our reason for going to this was They didn't have a table next-door and offered us 15% off, but even though it was 15% off, we paid over $100 for a handful of food . The gumbo was not even hot. It was full of lots of sausage more than seafood or chicken and the chicken head. A kind of spoiled taste to it so I didn't finish my gumbo, but I did finish my appetizer which was the crabcake.

Hands down the best food in the city. I've eaten everywhere pretty much and the consistency here speaks volumes. I recommend anyone and everyone to come here and they also have a steakhouse right next-door.

my entire family (20 ppl) ate there this evening and the service was mediocre to say the least. I had red snapper it was not seasoned, crawfish Mac in cheese flavorless, and lamb chops very dry. As we were getting ready to pay several cockroaches were crawling up the walls and beams. The manager never came out to address the party regarding the poor customer service, quality of food, or the roaches. Please reconsider supporting this establishment.

I love the combination of stuffed bell peppers, yams, cornbread stuffing, and or macaroni and cheese with baked chicken that feel like Grandma's. Must have the Gumbo and the succulent oysters. The desserts are delicious too.

I loved this place OMG had the best night ever. YES, I dropped a pretty penny but YES it was soooo much food and the pours were mighty heavy!! As I write this, I'm sitting here eating my leftover steak as a steak and eggs breakfast! There were not a ton of people there but there should have been bc the service was great and the vibes were perfect! The piano player did a great job and was so interactive! My only regret was the appetizer we got- which was the pork. But the waitress suggested another one and I should've listened to her!! But all the other food made up for it for sure! We got, tomahawk steak, filet Mignon, crawfish Mac n cheese, asparagus, and fries. All the sauces were great but the lemon butter was my fave! We will def def be back and more ppl should go here!

The Ambiance was pretty nice , the service was ok they forgot a few dishes.. the food was mid and very salty! The soup was very very tasteless!

Every time I am in NO I eat here. Love the food and the customer service. Chargrilled oysters are a must.

This was the perfect place for the girls and I to enjoy dinner!The Crawfish Mac&Cheese is a must have!!!

Food and service was amazing! Definitely an upscale experience. I absolutely loved my shrimp dish! A very different dining experience than the cafe next door. So if you want to dress up a lifer a nice date night then this place is for you.

I visited here for a happy hour mixer! The interior is cute. The service was ok. I started with the Neyow's 75 which was good. The bread is warm & delicious! I ordered the spicy shrimp which was good. I also ordered the crawfish Mac & cheese which was ok. I'd visit again!

Celebrated my fiance birthday the place was amazing they treated us like kings and queens everything was great will return

We had to wait almost an hour for a reservation that was set almost weeks prior to. We were made to wait in a stairwell. Tables, glasses and flatware were dirty upon being seated. Multiple guests in our party order were incorrect. Three guests never received their food. The restaurant was not properly staffed to accommodate the reservations that were set. The two serves tried their best to accommodate, but you could tell they just wanted the night to be over as much as those dining. This was a total disaster to experience moments after getting married in such a beautiful city.

THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. SERVER WAS 10/10 so was his service ! The ambience is perfect for a sensual yet classy date night ! Absolutely enjoyed and will return !

This place is GREAT ... Service was straight and to the point, no messing around. I'm 56 and never had pork chops like this in my life. I'm NOT kidding you have to go to this place. Food, Price and Atmosphere was great. All our food was fresh and hot. The staff was nice. We went to a lot of places while we were in town, but this place is on another LEVEL. DON'T NEVER MISS THIS PLACE !!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

The food was okay but, I feel that the regular Neyows is better than the steakhouse . I feel that the steakhouse is over price due to them categorizing it as a steak house . My favorite was the crab cake but ,one crab cake was $22 and I was it came with two instead of one . The drinks was good , the music set the tone , and the restaurant was clean . My favorite was the bread.

Where is Sylvester the cat? There were several RATS running around under out table around our feet as we were eating. The food was ok until then afterward my wife got sick from the thought of eating the food.

When we arrived we were told they only take reservations, so I proceeded to make an reservation online. There was like a 1 hr wait. So we walked down the street and enjoyed a cocktail at a local bar. Once it got close to our reservation, we headed back. When I approached the hostess she tells me we're no longer accepting reservations. I respond by saying then you should state that online. She then goes and speaks to someone and they said they would accept our reservation. We should have taken the signal and left when they said no online reservations , because what we experienced was horrific. After being seated our waitress took another 20 to 30 mins to get our drink order. When she finally arrived we were ready to order. I ordered the charbroiled oysters; my sister and I shared the red fish and crawfish cornbread. My cousin had the steak burger and his wife had the steak. I can't tell you about the oysters because I'm still waiting on them. They never came and nor were we informed that there was a delay. The red fish was dry and not seasoned. The crawfish cornbread was over cooked. My cousins burger was hard. I mean hard like a rack. You could literally throw the bun as a frisbee. He asked for another bun, that took 20 mins too. Remember still no oysters. He did say the meat was seasoned and cooked well. His wife had the steak and she said it was gummy and no seasoned at all. She said the only thing saving the steak was the butter sauce on top. Again still no oysters. After all this we decided to get the check and leave. I then informed the waitress that my oysters never came and she then starts looking for them on the table... lol. Um ma'am they never arrived. She then says oh there's a delay but they are on the way. That's okay.. you can remove them from the ticket. She did. Overall.. this may be our last time going to Neyow's NOLA.

I went here for my 30th birthday & the food was not worth the money. Like every dish that we ordered was salty. I had the surf and turf & The pasta had a weird taste. The steak was really good tho! My friend had the lobster. Salty! My mama had to send her crab dip back because it was too salty to eat. For those prices I could've went to Fleming's and got my money's worth. The music was not it either, Jazz and funeral music. I guess they want to be classy or whatever but we could've settled for the regular Neyows. I love to support my black people but this is one that I'll never come back to! The upstairs was decorated nice tho!

We celebrated my cousins 42nd birthday here and were well taken care of and the food was BOMB! The sides are generous! The food is flavorful. Our server, Wendell was polite and always on time. Highly recommend.

Went here recently and I must say I truly enjoyed my food. I got the fried snapper and the seafood cornbread and had enough to take home. From the outside it looks so small but once you get in there is tons of space. The waiter and waitress we had was so accommodating I would go back.

Deeply disappointed. I can get over not enjoying the food. But the rude service was out of line & disheartening. rude remarks and sarcastic comments from our server. Constant reminding of basic things like refills & our sides to come out and when asked to repeat order she said we didn't let her finish telling us what she wrote down we accepted that answer but yet so many items were missing. Maybe with a different server people will have a different experience service wise but that was enough for me to never go to another neyows location again.

Eh. "Fine Dining" is a bit of a reach. We ended up here because we couldn't get a table next door at Neyow's Creole Café. Our server, Salvatore, which wasn't really his name but it's something similar - he was really nice. Their bread is served warm and is sooooo good. The entrees and sides were just okay though. The lamb chops are really small. The restaurant is narrow. There's a single bathroom so we tried to enjoy our "fine dining" at our wobbly table placed up against a wall all while a line was forming just behind us for the restroom where we could hear the toilet flushing. To top it off, we dodged a family of big a** rats living in the alley right next to the restaurant as we were waiting for our Uber. The alley looked to be filled with junk/restaurant equipment possibly from Neyow's. If they cleared that alley way then maybe it'd help get rid of the rats. I wouldn't go back here because it wasn't worth what we spent. The service nor the food meet the standard of fine dining. Sad to say.

Wow! So glad we went with this recommendation. Everything was excellent. Also met the Exec chef- Broussard and complimented him on the food. Ari our server was awesome. The lamb chops were perfect. The spinach was my alternative as I don't eat asparagus. It was wonderful. The bartender didn't have all of my drink ingredients and attempted to make something else for me. The piano player is PHENOMENAL. SERVICE HERE IS IMPECCABLE. For my 1st time to NOLA, the food made my trip memorable.

Our server Nidija T. was beyond AMAZING! Being from Nashville, she really welcomed us with open arms and took the best care of us. Will definitely be back every time I visit NOLA!

Missed the brunch but tried their steaks, big mistake I can only explain it as the rough and tough ribeye. I guess they were more to into the ambiance that the food they were serving. I saw the cooks in the dining area more than they were in the kitchen. I try to patronize my black businesses but we need to step it up, and I can say that I've been here often on many occasions but this visit missed badly .

Hubby,Brother in law , Sister in Law and I completed our double Date with this Extraordinary Saturday Night. Hostess was extremely inviting and kind . Our Server Iree was on point and on top of her Steps of Service. Food was succulent. We are Regulars at the Neyows next door. This was our first time Dining at the Neyows Xl . Romantic and Live Music ( Michelle) . We Love the Vibe , Music, Beautiful People and the Restaurant. Thank you so very much. We already booked a future night . You are welcome to do your reservation on their Web Site !

Delicious food and drinks but please make a reservation. The vibe and music is on point. You won't be disappointed. Thank

I had the lobster, Yukon mashed potatoes and asparagus. My friend had the red snapper and everything is so delicious! Definitely a restaurant that you can dress up and go to.

Best food and service I've had in a long time. We had a group of 15 and everyone's food/drink experience was stellar. 10/10 recommend

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED! This was my first time to New Orleans. All I've ever heard about it was that the food and the people are great! This restaurant came highly recommended by friends who had visited NOLA, so I had high expectations for my wife's birthday dinner. I was told there was a private dining area for our party of 10, which turned out to be not private at all. We were seated in this small area in the back with 5 other people at two extra tables that they put in this small area. Very uncomfortable. We met our server when we sat down and never saw him again. :-| After waiting for 30 minutes with no water, I had get up and tell someone at the front that we would like water. They apologized and after another 10 minutes they brought us water in glasses that didn't match. (fine dining?) When they took our drink order, I ordered a Vodka Martini. The EASIEST drink a bartender can make. I was served about 3 ounces of room temperature vodka in what looked like a dessert glass. I sent it back to be re-made, it never came back. After 15 mins I went to check on my drink and the bartender had it in the same dessert glass SOAKING in Ice. Basically watering it down. When I pointed this out the bartender she was rude and yelled at me and her manager saying "Let Me Do My Job!"...wow, just wow. We almost walked out then but did not want to ruin the birthday celebration so I let that slide and walked away. We are over an hour now without food. When the food came, I ordered the lamb chops. They tasted bland like they have been thawed in cold water and microwaved. The worst meal I ever had. The best thing we had at this restaurant was the Oysters from the Café next door. This restaurant is NOT worth the price, the food was disappointing and the service for lack of a better word was trash. Shout out to the manager for trying to make it better in the end but that staff did not listen to or respect her either. I think my friends who recommended this place were talking about the Café next door. People over there seemed to be happy and enjoying their dinner. I wish I could have said the same for the XL Steak House.

Our Queen's night out was an epic disappointment! When I say epic, I mean monumental..to the point that I'm NEVER, EVER returning to Neyow's XL (even if the meal was comp'd, that's how terrible the experience was). #hatedit! I'm even warning everybody I know NOT to patronize the business. I've visited the original Neyow's several times...with 100% satisfaction, but the XL joint left much to be desired! A major disappointment. Never, Ever Again! Take my word & save yourself the hassle, disappointment, headache & money. I wasn't prepared for the level of failure that I experienced. Lesson learned! Never again!!! The food was lackluster (at best), the wait time was unacceptable & the taste was that of a fast food establishment. Not sure how Neyow's XL is considered fine dining. They're delusional even thinking they can consider themselves a fine dining establishment. Majorly disappointed! Save yourself the disappointment. DO NOT GO TO NEYOW'S XL! TRUST ME!!! Thank me later!

The Seafood cornbread was amazing and the white chocolate bread pudding was delectable!

What I love about Neyow's XL is it's not another Ruth's Chris it's so special it has has all the ambiance that you love about New Orleans but a fine dining experience. The service was amazing and I will definitely be back! The food has so much flavor. I wish that I could pick one thing that I like from the menu but everything I had was amazing!!!

When a restaurant advertise as fine dining and set their pricing as such, it's vey disappointing when the service and and quality of the food does not match. The place is very small, I don't feel like I was served a Steakhouse steak and the servicer said "I'll be right back" 5 time for things he forgot or didn't bring and we had to ask for. Definitely not fine dining service...It really did put a damper on our Mother's Day.

Food was good. A lot quieter and calmer than their counterpart next door (Neyow's Creole Cafe). Our waitress was very nice too

The wait is long a overwhelming i do not recommend food is good but they are un organized
