The Felix’s story is that of the New Orleans oyster bar. Ask any New Orleanian where their dad or grandpa took them for their first oysters. The answer is always Felix’s.. Back in the 1940’s, Felix’s put the New Orleans oyster bar on the map, creating a place where oyster-lovers could ‘belly up to the bar’ and have the freshest oysters shucked right in front of them. Felix’s fast became a New Orleans’ institution that drew a devoted local, national and international following which has inspired generations of oyster fans.
Local seafood platters, fresh-shucked oysters & Creole staples in a casual barroom setting.

Reviews
First off the manager, “Ty will get you by” was so friendly and helpful. We were celebrating our honeymoon so they gave us a beautiful private table on the balcony overlooking the parades and people partying (Halloween). Then to make things even better he sent us the best waitress in the joint “Sweets”. She was fantastic and we had so much fun talking with her, she was a delight for sure. Even the others who helped her Paul the manager and Austin the waiter were great too.
And now for the food and drinks! We ordered the following: Iberville hurricane, pineapple express, French 75, Whiskey Tree Bourbon (award winning whiskey), Chargrilled oysters, Grilled oysters, Rockefeller oysters, Alligator sauted, Turtle soup, Seafood Gumbo, Crab tips, red beans and rice, Fried shrimp platter with hush hush puppies, shrimp Felix special poboy. Let me say everything here was good, but those chargrilled oysters were EVERYTHING!!! No one in the city had oysters like these! I also really enjoyed the crab tips and the hurricane drink was so sweet just like I like it. This place really left a mark on my heart and I can’t wait to visit again soon.
We’re from east North Carolina, where we practically have oysters in our backyard so I was a little hesitant to try some and be disappointed because they’re not like ours at home, but I am so glad that I did. Hands-down, I could say that the oysters on the half shell or some of the best I’ve ever had.
Including the oysters, we also tried the fried alligator bites, the fish and shrimp plate with the brussels sprouts, which were also amazing. I tried the gumbo and turtle soup, which I was Also great and flavorful.
All around this was a great experience and we will definitely put it on our must visit list the next time we are in town 10/10
What really made the visit special was our server, Mai. She was exceptional — an absolute bundle of joy. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely upbeat, she made us feel welcome from start to finish and elevated the whole experience. Service like hers is the reason you come back. Highly recommend!
The combo grilled oysters lacked consistency — some overcooked, others undercooked — and the overall seasoning didn’t stand out compared to other oyster houses in the city. The seafood gumbo was surprisingly mild and noticeably light on seafood, with okra being the dominant flavor. The crawfish étouffée had an unusually doughy texture and contained very little crawfish, which was disappointing.
That said, the pickle chips were excellent — perfectly crisp and well-seasoned. The jambalaya and red beans and rice were also well executed and delivered the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Service from Heaven was warm, attentive, and professional throughout the meal.
The dirty martini was good. I
Not mad about the meal at all. Great value and atmosphere.

Amazing experience at Felix’s! The chargrilled oysters were absolutely incredible – perfectly cooked with that smoky, buttery, garlicky goodness. Some of the best I’ve ever had!
The service and hospitality were fantastic. Big shoutout to Darrin, who took exceptional care of us and made the whole experience memorable. His recommendations were spot-on and his service was top-notch.
If you’re craving phenomenal chargrilled oysters with great service, Felix’s is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!
