The Lighthouse Bar & Grill

We stopped in to have a drink and a light bite. Our waitress was also the bartender, she told us to sit where we wish so we chose a table inside but by the patio area. There were two other couples dining there at the time as it was after lunch but before happy hour. After a few minutes she came by with a menu and asked us if we wanted to start with a drink. Since we just got the menu we asked for a few minutes to see what they had before making a decision. She came back 15 minutes later to take our order. We had the swamp balls (including fried gator bites) which were mushy and not particularly flavorful. It is a neat atmosphere, it wasn’t a great day but I imagine sitting on the patio on a nice day would be phenomenal. The price was very reasonable, for two drinks and an appetizer it was less than $25.

Went there before Katt Williams Comedy Show. Had a light snack before the show. Ordered Boudian Balls, Party Sandwiches, and Salad, for the table. The place is on the waterfront with great views & ample parking for everyone, especially handicapped. All was delicious. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly.

Very impressed with the bar! We stayed at the Rv resort and came first for some hurricanes! Delicious and very strong! Came back after the Saints game for some delicious dinner! Highly recommend this place!

Food was ok. Service was lousy. Shrimp in the poboy tasted like it was frozen. I expected fresher. Fish was fried real good.

Me and my partner are traveling to NOLA from Arkansas and this was the perect meal to start off our NOLA vacation. I decided to go with the shrimp po boy, and my boyfriend ordered the cold cut sandwich. The po boy was phenomenal. It was stuffed to the BRIM and that's how I heard every po boy should be. The only thing I wish about the sandwich was more seasoning, the shrimp at times tasted bland. The restaurant was right next to the water, so it was good view to see once we were finished. There was sports playing on every screen so it was great entertainment(the Pelicans won). We were the only ones dining besides another group so the restaurant wasn't too crowded. Great experience!

Good food and great service! That says it all. The gumbo had amazing flavor. They make it in house. I wasn't surprised. You can't can flavor like that. The turkey ham was like 6 inches tall. It was good too. Nice dinner in a pinch.

Waterfront Dining This is located at the New Orleans RV Resort and Marina, on a canal off of Lake Pontchartrain. Easy to get to by both car and boat with parking for both. The dining room and outdoor deck are on the second floor, accessed by a long winding ramp for handicapped folks. The dining room is comfortable, but we preferred to sit outside on the covered deck overlooking the small harbor and boats. We had a server that was just as friendly as you could get. Sitting near the water called for a tropical cocktail so I tried the Pontchartrain Punch per our servers recommendation for being less sweet as compared to a Hurricane. The drink menu has plenty of drinks to wet the whistle. My wife had her usual soda and lemon. My cocktail was quite tasty and electric pink/orange. For an appetizer we had the Swamp Balls ($7.95). Three alligator and 2 boudin balls that were made with rice, seasonings and the proteins, coated and deep fried, served with a spicy ranch sauce. Both were tasty. We split an order of Crab Cakes and Hush Puppies ($16.95) for our meal. The dish had two nice sized all crabmeat cakes and several hush puppies. Both piping hot and tasty. While the menu is not super huge, it has all the right things on it. As it was a little drizzly out, we had another drink and enjoyed sitting near the water. We would go back.

Nice to sit on the outside patio since the restaurant was very cold. Very good wings. Caesar salad was overdressed, lettuce warm. Would not order it again. Best thing on the dessert menu is the bread pudding. We like that it is not cake like but nice hunks of bread cooked in a pudding. Hurricane was ok.

Nice place right in the lake and near downtown. Two levels with live music often at the lower level. The oysters are good but the custom sauce from the dude that shucks them is the him! Fast service and reasonably priced.

There's nothing exquisite about the menu/food but it was a nice quiet and ducked off space on the water. The waitress was nice and let us know about karaoke night, live music they're trying to incorporate on Friday nights and random information since it was our first time there. I ate the shrimp quesadillas which were good and my friend had a chicken ceasar salad. I also had the Pontchartrain punch which was very good. I'd definitely come back and try something else. The smoked wings smelled good. I'll be back to try them.

We were there during the week and it was pretty quiet. It was seat yourself which was fine. One lady Kenicia was working behind the bar greeted us and was pleasant. We looked over the menu and returned to the bar to order. We ordered a Margarita and a Bloody Mary both drinks were awesome. I loved my Margarita it wasn't overbearing like some made with sweet mix. Instead it was light and had the right amount of tequila. I ordered two. My hubby had the Bloody Mary and joked with Kenicia that it was kicking his ass lol We also ordered fried pickles, boudin balls , and crab cakes. All the food was good. We would definitely recommend and go back. Kuddos to her for handling the bar and the service she did a great job

Great spot: food, views & service are tops! Who expects a great restaurant/bar in an RV park? Well...now you can! We found it because we were staying at the Marina RV Park on a cross country road trip. But locals & visitors will be very happy to make this a "go to" spot on its own.

Good food and great service! That says it all. The gumbo had amazing flavor. They make it in house. I wasn't surprised. You can't can flavor like that. The turkey ham was like 6 inches tall. It was good too. Nice dinner in a pinch.

Service suggestion...when you have someone sitting at the bar talking on their phone on speaker, talking at to level, and every other word is the F bomb, you handle asking them to keep it down or step outside. Ridiculous.

Pink Floyd amongst other greats on the sound system. Nice views of the water. The food was delicious. I had the Shrimp n Catfish Seafood Platter w/Garlic Fries and everything on the plate was delicious. A roll or slice of bread would have been perfection. My waitress was also the bartender and she was on both‼ My top-shelf margaritas were on point. I had 2. The joint was clean . Also... my garlic fries are now cold but friggin' delicious . OH, and the condiment tray has Blue Plate Mayo and a bottle of BBQ sauce, I'm . I may come back tonight for more margaritas .

Great choices, food tasted great. Very nice hidden gem in NOLA, safe, relaxing, great views.

food was bomb! server was waiting 7 tables and made sure everyone was taken care of and had everything on time. i'd definitely go back!

Visited for a few days at park and decided to try the restaurant. Atmosphere is nice . Tables were clean . The service is another story. I'll give the blonde female bartender a higher rating For actually having hustle and help on food reviews . But the other older blond with curly hair is absolutely Terrible. Needless to say didn't go back Light house bar and grill on property of rv and marina New Orleans

I'm big on customer service. The bar tenders weren't having it today. They seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today. The owner was dope and probably the only reason why I am giving 4 stars. Bathrooms were super clean. The place super cute. Drinks were delicious and the cook made food accordingly to my food allergies. So all around it was a good experience. I just personally don't like to hear the drama and upseti spaghetti drama of the bartenders.

Went here on a weekday afternoon with a friend, and there was barely anyone there besides us. View was great, but food was not. The spinach and artichoke dip was watery and the crab cakes and hush puppies were tasty, but dry. My friend did enjoy our food and took the leftovers home.But she eats anything lol

We've been her twice and that was one time too many. I should have read the reviews first because the service is terrible and the food is awful. The first time we stopped in for a cocktail. The girls behind the bar were not friendly, never smile and act like we are a bother to them. Seriously, if you don't like your job, find another one. The second time we ordered dinner to go. The tuna was so dry I choked on it. The buffalo wings tasted more like sweet and sour and were so overcooked that we threw them away. The rice and beans were very good and therefore earned them one star. The view is nice but save your money and find somewhere else. If you're staying at the RV Park, you can take your own drink to the balcony and enjoy the view.

With The Lighthouse Restaurant right on the property, it's nice that if you have a bit too much, you just have to walk back home. The restaurant menu is pretty limited. I wish there was breakfast or brunch on Sundays. There are only about 3 things I can eat on the menu. I was recommended the burger by a staff member and was actually impressed with how good it is. I wish there was a desert option with ice cream. There are so many classic Cajun/Creole dishes which cannot be found here. I constantly heard about dishes that were served under the old management which are no longer available. Kelly is the ideal bartender with her easy spirit, a smile on her face and her attention to detail. DeAnna amazed me as a server, never having to write an order down but getting everything right. John from the Kitchen makes the best Spinach and Artichoke Dip I've ever had.

Lame customer service, but good food. I was all prepared to eat leftover pizza and my daughter cereal, but my wife and son weren't having it. So I pulled up the Uber Eats app and placed an order based on the reviews. Overall, the food was good, but the experience could have been better. We ordered the rib platter with baked beans, citrus glazed wings, shrimp platter with garlic fries and asian spicy shrimp platter with garlic fries. They forgot to include barbecue sauce for the ribs, ranch dip for the wings, and most importantly, the asian spicy shrimp was not tossed in the asian spicy sauce; it was just a regular shrimp platter. I actually paid $1.00 more for the spicy sauce. I called to complain, but the person who put the order in (the person who answered the phone said she was the one who put the order in) gave me some lame excuse that I was supposed to type in the notes section of the app that I wanted the spicy sauce version. She kept saying that no one ever orders the asian version in the restaurant. So because no one ever orders it, you just assume I didn't want it? She also blamed a couple servers who she said were assisting her for the missing barbecue sauce and ranch dip. Oh, and she blamed Uber for the $1.00 up charge for the sauce because they don't charge a fee for it in the restaurant. Like I said, the food was good, but maybe follow up with a call or provide additional instructions in the notes section to increase the likelihood they get your order right. I only took pictures of the wings, because I was over this place after the phone call.

I love this setting. It is on a marina, there was a band playing. It was SO nice to have a full service restaurant and bar at our RV park. I wish they were open later and the band played longer! The food was average, but they weren't skimpy on the drinks!

Service just to start was AMAZING. Our girl Deanna showed us the ropes on what bomb food to get. The alligator fried curds were BOMB. And the wings are gourmet as shiz. The recommendations were amazing. This girl knows what she's talking about. Definitely ask for Deanna when you come. Much love and thanks for showing us a little taste of New Orleans!

How in the world this place got 4 stars is beyond me. Was not really busy but could not get any service. When we finally did, we tried their drink special hurricane. YUCK ! It tasted like cherry flavored rubbing alcohol. They had to of used the most rot gut rum ever made. We tried to order something different but the waitress NEVER came back until she brought our food. Food wasn't too bad but over priced for what it was and the quality. However, do NOT order the ribeye! Ordered medium, came out well done, was paper thin and horribly dry. Asparagus was good. Will NOT be back!!!!

I've eaten at The Lighthouse Bar & Grill once before today and left completely satisfied. I remember thinking how perfect this place was and bookmarking it in my mind for another time; living close by I wanted to return. Today, we visited for a late lunch/early dinner. Upon arriving my boyfriend and I were the only customers. We were greeted and told we could sit wherever we wanted. Our drinks came quickly, bottled beer and a daiquiri. Our food came out at a reasonable time; pulled pork sandwich and fried catfish. While my bf enjoyed the sandwich, he gave it a 7 out of 10. I was a little disappointed with my fish. I remember it being a lot better months ago. The fish itself was fresh but the batter was heavy and thick. The service was a bit slow towards the end but it seemed like our waitress/bartender (the only employee I saw) was training two new employees. With all this being said, we plan to go back.

We stayed at the RV park located next to restaurant. We ate Sunday brunch. I ordered the Crab Cakes Egg Benedict, hubby ordered a regular breakfast. The service as well as the food was great. I ordered the seafood gumbo to go, it is very favorable, my only complaint is there is only one to go size, and with it tasting so good I was left wanting more.

This place terrible! This was the worst meal and the worst service I have ever had in NOLA. It is definitely not worth the drive for mediocre food and beyond awful customer service. We had reservations for a large party. They did not have our tables ready, so we had to push our tables together ourselves. Our drinks had bugs in them, and it took them over 30 minutes to replace them. Our server was completely rude and unhelpful. He made snide and unprofessional remarks about how "he was supposed to be there at 1pm but whatever" (It was 2pm and we had been at the restaurant since 12:30pm) and he even yelled at people to "be quiet so he concentrate" while he was taking our orders. By the time our food came out, it was cold and wasn't properly seasoned...everything had either too much salt or too little salt and the fried food looked like it had been sitting out. Then we had to wait almost an hour for our checks, and when they came out, they were wrong but the waitstaff treated us like common criminals because they messed up the checks. They might be able to get away with this awful food and shoddy service with visitors, but locals know better. Trust me...STAY AWAY!!!!

I cannot say enough about this restaurant I thought I had reviewed it in March I went to this restaurant for my birthday and when I say I was thoroughly impressed with the food and the atmosphere and your weight staff is awesome I can't remember the name of my waitress because it's been so long since I went but I love her keep doing what you do when your food is awesome

Nice and laid back place; kids enjoy looking at the boats. Food was pretty good, I had the club, wife had the poy boy, kids had burgers, inlaws had the seafood nachos. Which looked real good and the garlic fries where really good. The only thing was parking was a little confusing. When you pull in, you want to drive to your left to park. Everywhere else's you can't park because it's for the RV tenants.

This was a nice place to eat. The scenary was beautiful and the service was very efficient. The prices of the food are a tad high in my opinion. I had what was basically a club sandwich and paid an inordinate amount for it. If you have money to burn then you may enjoy it, if not, pick a place in New Orleans and you will get better food at a better price. Another bummer is that they include gratuity in you check if your party is 6 or larger, which is fine, except you do not have a choice but to pay 20%.

I've been coming out to this place for the last 3 years and it never disappoints, it's a true gem!! Kelly the bartender was a complete bad ass, she's great at what she does and makes some very nice drinks as well. The food was great, great atmosphere and always fun people to meet and shoot the bull with. Anytime you're in the area this is definitely without a doubt a place to come check out!!!

Such a cute, fun place! A complete gem. We had the swamp balls, crab cakes, and burger and they were delish! Lots of yummy, strong drinks too. Most definitely recommend.

Food is decent, atmosphere is lovely. We've been here many times and have always had friendly service. The French fries are the best and my absolute favorite.

The food and drink is just OK. Kinda pricey for what you get. We split the NOLA appetizer consisting of a bowl of Gumbo, Jambalaya, and Red Beans 'n rice. This was the best part of the meal. DW had the pork ribs and they were tender and sweet but not a lot of smoke flavor. I had the Seafood Nachos since they was out of oysters and had trouble finding any seafood. It was all chips, cheese, veggies and the sauce. Key lime pie for desert just wasn't that tasty. Anastasia was our waitress and she was super. This is a nice place for a drink and maybe a munch but look elsewhere for dinner.

I had fried catfish and asparagus, and both were superb. In face went back for lunch next day. I as very impressed. Golden fried catfish fingers, lightly breaded. Juicy asparagus. Compliment a to the chef!

this place deserves a 0 star!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible service!! arrived at the restaurant at 12:30, ended up leaving at 3:00 without being fed! Slow service, 20-25 minute wait for drinks, & when we started getting aggravated the serving staff caught an attitude with us! would not recommend

I will never patronize this establishment again! I ordered a creole club sandwich through the Uber App for a pick up. On the menu, it displayed a picture of the club sandwich along with verbally stating the ingredients and condiments included on it. Upon receiving my food(while at work) I observed the sandwich was completely saturated with mayonnaise( that wasn't supposed to be on the sandwich) and missing the creole mustard that was clearly listed(according to the menu) as the only condiment on the sandwich. I immediately called the establishment and advised the cashier my order was incorrect at which time she told me I should've requested no mayonnaise in the notes section when I ordered from the Uber App. Once I advised her that there was never supposed to be mayonnaise on the sandwich in the first place according to their menu, she proceeded to hang up in my face! I notified Uber via the App and am still awaiting my refund due to my incorrect order and inconvenience.

One of the worst steaks I've ever had wasn't worth 26 for shit waste of money and food

I ordered from Uber eats to try this restaurant. The food was okay. I got a hamburger with cheese and garlic fries with the bread pudding. Honestly, it serves its purpose. I ate everything and would order again. I've never been to the restaurant but I would be interested in going and eating there again.

Right in the RVpark great salty pig sandwich And Abita beer. Wednesday is ribeye night. Hard to beat taco Tuesday!

I had a fish "po boy" with what was supposed to be Cole slaw. The sandwich was on a pistolet sized bread that was soft and cheery there was a dab of something that may have been mayo but, the sandwiches were so dry we both had to add mayo. There was NO romalade sauce anywhere, although they claim the po boys come with it. The Cole slaw was plain chopped cabbage and shredded carrots. There was no salt, pepper, mayo or seasoning of any kind. I usually order Cole slaw because it's something that's hard to screw up. Well, they did! My dinner was a JOKE. Unfortunately, the joke was on me. NEVER AGAIN!!

The Lighthouse Grill restaurant on the property has the VERY BEST Gulf shrimp, oysters and fried chicken on the planet consistently, and the Hurricane cocktail is as good as Pat O'Brien's. Staff is excellent. Balcony seating is very comfortable.

Outstanding. Friendly, charming staff, upbeat atmosphere, surrounded by water, cold bear and we'll prepared, beautifully delivered, and tasty food. I had the salty pig and it is very tasty.

It is rare as hell for me to have such a strange experience at a restaurant that I don't leave at least a four-star review. The Lighthouse Bar & Grill, conveniently located at Pontchartrain Landing if you're a guest there and inconveniently located at Pontchartrain Landing if you're not a guest there, is an exception to that rule. The keyword is "strange," not "bad." I went there with three friends on a Tuesday night. We were the only people there other than the (minimal) staff. We went for dinner, not necessarily for drinks, though we got both. The drink options were limited, but they were pretty cheap, which was nice. The food options were more diverse, but they were somewhat more expensive. And everything that we ate was at most average. Two of us ordered the same thing: the steak with the potatoes and something else that comes with it, steak medium-rare. Somehow, in both cases, the steak came out well-done. Where that got lost in translation, I couldn't tell you--our waitress was nice enough, though I sensed that she sometimes failed to understand what we were requesting to eat or drink, even though we were reading from a menu. Maybe she was new. She was nice. Okay. Anyway. I just remembered that the "something else that comes with it" was a gumbo that my friend took one bite of and said he would've returned it if we weren't his company (two of us were NOLA visitors, two longtime residents). I don't remember what the other non-local person got, but I know that I got a) spinach and artichoke dip b) Caesar salad, no meat. a) You know how spinach and artichoke dip just can't be bad? Because it's literally spinach, artichoke, a bunch of dairy products, and chips? Aka a bunch of amazing things melted in an oven and mixed together? The chips were the best part, and they were nothing special. To be clear, the dip wasn't bad. It was just melted cheese with spinach in it. It was ordinary, which by proxy and in this context is bad. Frankly, Lighthouse Bar & Grill should be fucking ashamed. b) Caesar dressing isn't supposed to be sour, right? I'm not high, I think? Because this Caesar dressing was SOUR. Not bad, again, just sour, which was unexpected. It was still okay enough to eat, but like...no. Just no. No one wants a sour gosh dang mix of lettuce, parmesan, and croutons. The word you're looking for is "creamy." It was bizarre, not bad, which is why this isn't a one-star review. Lighthouse provided me the most ordinary, inexplicable, verging-on-bad meal I've ever had. Since we were staying in the motorhome camp, we went back another night or two for frozen margaritas, which were actually pretty good, another reason this isn't a one-star review. Though it really should be a one-star review since the only news channel playing is Fox News, which was a way-too-right-wing TV channel even before the current "president" made it his propaganda arm littered with fake news and, when the news isn't fake, incredibly biased with bigoted takes and the most misguided views possible. I just got off-topic, sorry, but yeah, when you're in New Orleans go eat at a French Quarter classic like Cafe Du Monde (for beignets not meals), Mr. B's Bistro, Cane and Table, Killer Po Boys, Domenico's, Clover Grill, just not this. Unless you're staying at the RV camp, in which case, just go in with measured expectations and don't look at the TV that has the news on, the one with Weather Channel will give you a more realistic take on the world.

I ordered food from the Lighthouse grill through uber eats. I ordered the spinach artichoke dip and the brownie. The artichoke was a good temperature and had a pleasant taste. It was a good portion for the price. The brownie on the other hand was not so great. The brownie was burnt in parts making it hard enough I couldn't bite through it. This left a burnt taste even in the parts that were edible. Overall I would order the artichoke dip again and would give it a 4 star rating and the brownie a 1 star rating.

Stayed 500 feet from this place for a few nights. We were excited to have a go-to place for breakfasts and dinners. What a total disappointment. $6. for a small salad ... smallest salad I've ever received; like seriously? $9. for a bowl of gumbo...barely quarter full, maybe: a drink with a quarter jigger, if that. Anyway, ate there our first night and found other places that were actually respectable.

I've come here a couple times with my SO and a couple friends, and was thoroughly satisfied both times. So far, I've had the spinach dip, southwest egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, smoked sampler (ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken wings), the club sandwich, garlic fries, and mac and cheese. The only item I was not impressed with was the spinach dip. It just had an odd taste to me (and my SO). Not sure why. The mozz sticks are good, the southwest egg rolls are amazing, and the dipping sauce they come with is like a spicy/chipotle-ish ranch, I think. And it's also amazing. The club sandwich is good, pretty typical. The garlic fries are, well, garlic-y, and delicious. The mac and cheese is pretty good. And the smoked meats are pretty good for a place like this. Wouldn't expect it, but they are. The ribs fell off the bone, and the wings were flavorful and juicy. The smoked brisket and pulled pork were as good as you could ask for. This will be a frequent stop for us in the future.

Service was great, food was delicious. We had a party of 5 and got the boudin ball and gator ball as an appetizer, jambalaya, wings, pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. All cooked and flavored amazingly. The bloody Mary's are delish too!

This place is a late night super star! They have amazing desserts and great local food

This an out of way bar and restaurant. Good food; BBQ, New Orleans classics like Gumbo, Jambalaya, and crab cakes. The crab cakes are very good and generously sized. You also get one side, quite good sized. The Mac and cheese is great! Live music on weekends, early at 6pm! Locals and folks like us staying at the RV park. It is packed tonight. Use your mapping function to find!

Good atmosphere. Great service. Food was tasty. Servers really nice. Tonight a good band.

Found this place strictly by accident. It was bingo night and the place was hopping! Waitress was super cute and bubbly. Food was really good and good prices. Great service

This place totally took me by surprise. My husband and I were driving along lakeshore drive on Sunday evening and ended up here for dinner. It was a little off the beaten path (our path at least) but I'm so happy we found it. It's located on the water with glass all around to see out. They had a great band playing and people even got up and started dancing. It was a great way to end the weekend! Perfect place for a large group. Food, service and drinks were all good!

We stayed in one of the houses at Pontchartrain Landing and were pleasantly surprised by the Lighthouse Grill. Groups of us would stop in 1-2 times a day. One waitress couldn't be bothered, but the rest were nice and helpful. The food was good. You don't expect that at a place where there is a captive audience, but it was really good. We always knew we had a place to walk to if our cooking didn't turn out or if we just needed cocktails int he morning.

This is the bar at Pontchartrain Landing and it actually does have a rotating light above the bar like a lighthouse. This is a patio bar so its all outside and there are a lot of tables and chairs along with the bar stool seating. There is also a pool and hot tub adjacent to this space so you can enjoy those amnesties as well. There is always an interesting mix of people in this space and its definitely a change of pace from the usual New Orleans bar scene.
