Since 1933 Ye Olde College Inn has served generations of New Orleanians. Come join us at a true New Orleans farm to table landmark. Our menu features our latest Creole specials and plenty of twists on traditional New Orleans standards. We have a farm located adjacent to the restaurant where we get a variety of fresh produce. Next door is another New Orleans landmark, the Rock’n'Bowl®. Ask for a $5 off voucher when you dine from the entree section of our menu. - visit www.rocknbowl.com for live music listings

    Seated for 15-20 minutes and not so much as a hello by the wait staff. Very disappointed. The owner seemed to not care at all that we were leaving.
