When u go to an oyster bar get oysters! It amazes me the people disappointed in a meal when they don't get what a place does best. You go here if you want oysters. Period. I had chargrilled oysters and my husband had raw. They were great. I highly recommend chargrilled oysters here. This is a bourbon st place so... More

This was my first try at Oysters, so I don't have much to compare to, but I was a fan after trying them at Felix's! The food and service were great! The interior was a little smokey but we didn't seem to smell after leaving. We also waited in a bit of a line to get in, but it seemed... More

We were disappointed with our lunch. My Caesar salad was pretty good but the fried oysters on top were not quite cooked. My husband's gumbo was bland. Some people would enjoy the "vibe" but for us it was too loud. More

This place was recommended by a New Orleans native. She told me that Felix's is just as good as the popular place across the street, the one with the huge line waiting to get in! And it certainly was good, very busy, very basic but good food and excellent service. The only negative was an extremely loud table of drunken... More

Rolled into NOLA and within 45 minutes of touchdown was at the oyster bar at Felix's. Was back again a couple of evenings later for many more HUGE oysters. Just standing there talking to Thomas, eating these incredible fresh oysters, (and the BEST chargrilled in town) sipping an Abita and watching the people stand in line for hours across the... More

I've never been a huge oyster fan but the woman behind the counter told us that char-grilled oysters were their specialty. Sitting at the counter, we could see the dish being prepared and decided to give it a try. Check it out - you won't be disappointed. More

Liked this place for good food and reasonable priced drinks. Not fancy - good place for oysters and it was non smoking which was a plus for me. Sit a counter and get a table. It stays busy but if you want something basic, it's a great place. More

My boyfriend and I have both been to NO numerous times, being from the south and having family in the area. So we've had our fair share of po-boys. Felix has some of the better ones in the quarter. It comes dressed and they don't charge you extra for it, as some places do. And the fried shrimp had flavor,... More
