Best WLM Reviews
Not a bad stop if you have time to kill. My shrimp po' boy and bloody Mary were delicious and came out fast (there were only 3 other people there, though). The service was not exceptional. The bartender had air pods in and seemed to be annoyed to have to help his handful of customers. He did, however, make a wicked bloody, though. The prices aren't great, but neither is anywhere else in the airport.
Excellent fresh food and quick friendly service!
We stopped at Ye Olde College Inn in November 2023 to grab a quick dinner before our flight home. Despite so many negative reviews our experience was excellent.
We were sited right away and our waitress Denise was very friendly and attentive. The drinks and food were served fast which was important as we didn’t have much time. The food was surprisingly delicious for what seemed to be just an average airport eatery. We got Crawfish Mac & Cheese, Slow Roasted Beef Po’Boy, and grits on the side. All were excellent and tasted great and fresh. The portions were generous. Denise was checking on us for drinks refills and she brought extra butter for grits and even some butter substitute though we didn’t ask for it. It felt she really cared for us to enjoy the meal, relax, and be comfortable. And we were:) Thank you!
We highly recommend this place if you’re in that terminal and looking for good food with quick service.
Stopped to grab a quick bite to eat here after my flight, they had a good breakfast menu, good size portions for the prices which were pretty fair considering it was in the airport. Clean area to eat and the staff was nice and attentive. Convenient location heading out towards the baggage claim. I would recommend giving it a try if you are ever in the New Orleans airport and have a few extra minutes.
This looked like it could be a decent spot for food at the airport. There were plenty of seats and it was clean. Service can be a little slow between ordering and receiving the food. If you're in a rush before your flight, I wouldn't recommend. Waited 20 mins to get the check and it wasn't busy.
The fried shrimp Po'Boy was loaded shrimp. It overall tasted okay, I am not sure what to expect and didn't have a chance to grab one in the city. The price doesn't seem outrageous for the airport for the amount of food you get.
There was one cook, one waitress, and one bartender/hostess for a busy airport terminal... service was NOT going to be efficient or effective.
Bypassing all of that - and the incredibly long wait just to get our drink orders of a cup of ice and ice water - was pretty good food. We ordered the American breakfast: two pancakes, bacon, cheese grits, two scrambled eggs, and a biscuit. My daughter's biscuit was burnt and I didn't really enjoy mine. Everything else was really good. The grits were too thick for my liking but still tasty.
I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews…
Perhaps it’s a disappointment compared to the original location, but in terms of airport food, it FAR exceeds expectations.
My wife and I were here before a morning flight, so their menu was limited compared to usual.
I ordered a breakfast po’ boy, which was pretty good. It’s basically just a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a baguette. The baguette is what made the sandwich good — it was crisp, well-buttered, and with just the right amount of crunch.
My wife ordered shrimp & grits, however, which proved to be the better choice. I was skeptical that shrimp & grits in an airport could be very good at all, but it was phenomenal. So much better than any airport food has business being.
The service was quick and friendly. The vibe? Well, about what you would expect from an airport restaurant.
The next time we’re at MSY with time to kill, we know where we’re going. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you off.
We had an early morning breakfast here before catching our flight. Our waitress Brittney was just super, she saw that we were in a hurry and she made sure to take our order quickly and delivered the food in to-go containers just in case we had to run. Brittney was very energetic and had a great attitude, she checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was very good too, I was impressed with the quality of the scrambled egg in our sandwiches- it was soft and silky kind of like a French omelette and it was delicious on the crispy baguette. All in all, the whole team did great and we had a good experience!
We waited an hour for our food, and I watched several people served their order. The crawfish mac and cheese was frozen, and why we were intially told 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the poor waitress was running around solo, and could not provide an update. In the end, I canceled our order with pure disappointment and frustration. At that time, we had 20 minutes to eat, maybe enjoy our food, and make our flight. Terrible way to wrap up an otherwise great trip.
