I don't know who the people are who gave only a few stars, but it made me hesitant to go to Mannings. We did and I anticipated poor service. Quite the opposite! Our server Bree, the hostess, and the guy who sat us were all very friendly and welcoming. Bree made sure the TV was on the right channel and recommended the beef nachos and they were fabulous! Prices are reasonable considering the brand name and location. We enjoyed this visit to watch the Steelers game, although obviously most of the guests were here for the saints. They have awesome recliners and theater seating and a big screen but it wasn't for our game so we sat at a table. We will visit again next time we're in the Big Easy!
Our server was good but I'd have to say management was average.
First off we got there 20minutes before kickoffs on Saturday morning and stood outside till 5min after 11am which is both after supposed opening and after all kickoffs.
Then every single TV was on the oklahoma game and it took 25min to change them to random games.
This should be done a hour earlier and it's not as if they were busy as I looked through the windows and everyone was standing around.
Also, NEVER let a group standing outside to potentially go somewhere else. Just open the doors, let them sit and tell them you'll be with them asap even if it's at opening time. Read your crowd, I was with 2 guys that were 350lbs and love beer and food (lol).
They could have missed out on our $1000 tab!
Food was good, atmosphere is good though.
Would revisit.
So good!!! Everything hot and at good temperature. Everything tastes really good. Wish there was more on the menu but overall will be back. 10/10. I normally had mixed drinks too but they def fit their thing. Tasted so good !!
Classic sports bar, but with the ability to actually watch and listen to the game, this is a good place for sports fans. They have multiple TVs going and an audio stream of the main screen is going as well. Such a nice change from other "sports" bars that are just dance clubs with a TV screen.
Staff for helpful and quick, and the food was pretty darn good, they have legit good gumbo here and the beignets were also incredibly tasty and fresh.
Good sports bar in the Quarter. Bartender was friendly, drinks came fast and plenty of TVs. We held our fantasy football draft here and didn't have any regrets. Great private room in the back. Definitely worth a visit.
Stopped in for a quick bite, never disappointed with Mannings Sports Bar & Grill. The poboy was very tasty, fries were fresh and the crowd wasn’t bad. Very laid back, cool, nice vibes. Service was great, staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back here again!
Food was excellent, we had the chicken nachos, the most chicken we've ever received on any chicken nachos anywhere. Service was acceptable. TV / screen were all messed up. They looked like cartoon characters.
Visited New Orleans for Essence Fest weekend. For a sports bar, Mannings was a bit quiet. With so many people in town, I was expecting long lines and loud music. Glad that wasn't the case. We popped in just before closing and grabbed a seat at the bar. We ordered a shrimp po boy, wings, and a few other items. The food was good food. The staff was cool and helpful. I recommend this place.
The food was delicious! It was not busy at all when we visited. We got seated almost immediately. We were notified that with our larger party (11 people) that there is an automatic gratuity for a party of 6 or more. So that was nice to be informed of prior to sitting down. I would visit again.
Place was pretty understaffed but food was good. Nachos were awesome. Staff was probably the most polite I had in all of new orleans and they were working very hard. Absolutely would go back again.
