Gone are the days of large slices of sausage and chunks of turkey. I used to live by this restaurant and couldn’t get enough, now it’s “not bad” it’s just middle of the road.

Good classic New Orleans comfort food at a 1950s styled restaurant. Great soups like Turkey Gumbo, split pea and vegetables. Italian dishes and seafood are very good. Poboys and most other traditional New Orleans dishes.

If you like delicious, home-cooked meals in a peaceful no-frills setting, then this is your place. Tessie’s never disappoints.

Nice friendly staff at this restaurant. We ordered drinks, of course, appetizers and the main dish. There were four of us. It took longer than normal for us to get our food. This did not bother us since we were able to just have a long conversation in the meantime. Once the food was out it was a very wonderful experience. I personally had and enjoyed the Alfredo noodles and shrimp.

This was so much fun I would likely come back to see the dark wood paneling and hear the waitress shout across the dining room she had a fresh pot of coffee on. Its like walking in to a time capsule from 1969.
Then there is the food. Its good, hot, home made, served quickly and reasonably priced. I could not possibly recommend this experience more highly…LOVED it!!!

Hamburger steak was excellent. Love the feel of this place, small and homely. Which are two things that lead to good food.

PLEASE season your chicken! I would rate lower if this wasn’t a family-run business but I hate to do that to small businesses. But it just isn’t fair to have unseasoned chicken with zero flavor whatsoever. C’mon now, this is New Orleans!
The service was good and the atmosphere was actually pretty nice. But the food could use major improvement. Bread wasn’t very fresh. Please try harder.

I love this place!!! I visit at least once a year when I’m in town visiting family. Tessie’s in a quite location/ neighborhood with friendly servers, cozy atmosphere. High recommended for those looking to leave the tourist traps in the city:)IYKYK;).

My goodness, I haven’t been there for years because they messed up the fried chicken, was the best around when Tessie had the place, she passed and the chicken went south. Well i looked on the website and saw some good reviews, so i ordered the fried chicken, it was not good. How can someone fry chicken without adding some kind of seasoning to the batter.
Had to salt it down to eat it. Sorry. Not good.
