Liuzza's Restaurant & Bar

Open since 1947, Liuzza's knows what they're doing. This family owned and operated favorite is the perfect casual spot to share appetizers with friends. Order a plate of their famous onion rings and enjoy the fresh ingredients that make all of their food reminiscent of home cooking. Wash it down with their claim to fame—the coldest beer in the city.

If you live in Mid City, it's likely that Luizza's is already your neighborhood favorite for its warm hospitality and welcoming atmosphere. But this month, crispy juicy onion rings are the star of the show! 3636 Bienville St., 504-482-9120, liuzzas.com.


Bayou Hot Wings

All New Orleanians know that Bayou Hot Wings provides some of the juiciest, most flavorful wings in the city. Born and raised in Louisiana, chefs Allen and Kyle understand the importance of great food. Order a side of onion rings to compliment any of the 15 wing flavors. Or order the onion rings alone and have them with a house made dip like honey mustard, buttermilk ranch, or zesty remoulade.

Located on S. Claiborne, Bayou Hot Wings is the go-to spot for a quick delicious bite. While you're there, ask about the specialty sauces available for purchase, and have the same delicious flavors at home! 6221 S. Claiborne Ave., 504-865-9464, bayouhotwings.com.

Mahony's Po-boys & Seafood
