Ray's Uptown

Went here with some friends because we keep hearing about it. We waited 2 hours to get our food. When we first arrived they forgot that we were waiting to be seated. They stated that they " thought we left". We were a party of 6. Once we actually receieved the food, it was very good. We got the soulfood platter with collard greens and macoroni and cheese. The shrimp and fried chicken was amazing ( im allergic to fish). They did forget our yams, bt it wasnt a problem. Overaĺl I just think we came on a bad day.

The atmosphere was fantastic! The service was impeccable! Ray was very friendly he was taking pictures asking if everything was ok. The food was absolutely delicious. The best fried fish in New Orleans. The Chef Ray’s Famous Soul platter has enough food to feed three people. We’re definitely coming back!

We circled the shopping center a couple of times till we parked and I went and peaked in the window to see if the address was correct. It’s a very limited menu right now after they recently reopened. Crawfish meat pies were the best!! The catfish plates were delicious also. Great service from them, they were friendly, place was clean. We have them on a list to revisit next trip into NOLA.

I took my best friend . I call mom to this restaurant for the first time visit here. It wasn’t too bad to get a seat, but it took forever to get your food. I receive my appetizer which was meat pies. Oh my gosh, hard as a brick . It was my waiters first day he had it seemed all the tables in my area. I felt sorry for him. He did his best, but when I receive my Shrimp Poboy I was very disappointed, frozen shrimps who does that in Louisiana who does that in New Orleans? I I was given a complementary drink because of the long weight which I thought was very nice. Not sure if I’ll return. I may give it another try but with a different order. 😟

Very Lively and super friendly. Dancing and excellent gumbo. A great New Orleans neighborhood experiencr.
