Clover Grill

This is apparently a New Orleans fixture at least in this neighborhood. It's short-order style grill breakfast and burgers. For Southerners, think Waffle House with New Orleans attitude. (Message on menu: "If your order isn't ready in 5 minutes, wait another 5. This isn't New York City.") 24-hours hangover cure.

Don't let the outside of this place turn you away, the Clover Grill is truly a hidden gem! Inside seating for about 20 patrons in a true short-order diner setting in the heart of an older New Orleans neighborhood. The menu is simple and sprinkled with humor, and the staff are quick and friendly. The food was perfect, cooked to order, and well worth the short walk off the beaten tourist path. We will definitely visit again when we find ourselves in town next time!

It's just a grease-pit diner on the corner. That being said, it's wonderful! Great comfort food made with heart and friendly attentive staff. Quite charming, really. While it doesn't seem as picturesque as the area around it, supposedly several movie scenes were filmed here for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I can't figure out which, though. All I can tell you for sure is that this is a nice little southern diner.

I had an absolutely delicious breakfast burger from Clover Grill! The place is small and had a classic diner feel. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait at all. The reason for 4 stars is because 1) they don’t accept cash or allow you to split your bill and 2) I believe that we were incorrectly charged. Luckily I kept my receipt since I was traveling to NOLA for business and I noticed a discrepancy between what I was charged on my card and what I signed for on the receipt (including tip). Granted it was only a few dollars thankfully but I really feel like that defeats the purpose of not accepting cash… I would still recommend this place and I hope that it was just an accident.
