Imperial Garden, Kenner, LA Report #581

We had some business to take care of today in Kenner, LA., and got the hankering for Chinese food. After a quick internet search we discovered this place was on the way home, so we popped in for dinner. The store front in the strip mall gave me the impression the place was going to…

Stingray’s Grill & Bar, Kenner, LA Report #575

I’ve been seeing TV commercials for this place and wanting to try it forever. One thing they’re famous for is their Crabby Mary (last picture above). I saw a few of them being delivered to tables tonight. It’s a Bloody Mary with a fried soft-shelled crab, fried shrimp, and some other stuff on top. I…

Bubbie’s Sno-balls & Ice Cream, Kenner, LA Report #548

It gets hot in New Orleans, so snowball stands are very popular. For some reason most of them close over the winter. I’ve never understood that because we can have hot days down here year-round. In fact, driving around today we have the air conditioner on in the car because the temperature was in the…

Don Jose’s Grill, Kenner, LA Report #546

This place is located at the corner of a major intersection in Kenner. Catty-cornered from it is a great Italian place called the Brick Oven Cafe. I’ve been there several times, and every time I went I looked at this place thinking, “I’ve got to try that Mexican joint one day”. Besides that, I’ve driven…

Pho Sunrise, Kenner, LA Report #534

Even though this place is on a main street, the way it’s tucked back in a little strip mall you can probably drive by it without noticing it. I first noticed it because it’s right across the street from Daisy Dukes. I’ve dined there several times, and while waiting for my food I looked out…

Redfish Pizza, Kenner, LA Report #465

For being on a main street, this place is really off the beaten path. If you look at the maps above in the 3rd and 4th pictures, it’s about the last thing you find before you hit Lake Pontchartrain and can’t go any further. So why even come this way? There is a Riverboat Casino…

La Chilanga Bar & Grill, Kenner, LA Report #318

A coworker told me this was a good place for authentic Mexican food.  I typed “La Chilanga” into my Spanish to English translator and it says it means “woman from Mexico city”.  Ok.  Let’s just get to the food. We decided on a small cheese dip to go with the complimentary chips and salsa, a…

Pollo Campero, Kenner, LA Report #307

I normally don’t report on chain restaurants unless they’re something special.  But it’s hard to consider this a chain since this is the only one in the entire state of Louisiana!  The next nearest one is in Houston, TX., which is about a 5 1/2 hour drive. This place started out in 1971 as a…

Daisy Dukes Diner, Kenner, LA Report #296

Back in March of 2019 I discovered this place called the American Pie Diner.  Loved the place!  I was going to be a regular.  So of course it promptly went out of business. At least the building didn’t stay vacant long.  Daisy Dukes opened another location there. I knew about their French Quarter location, but…

Gerald’s Famous Burgers & Donuts, Arabi, LA Report #291

We had just finished lunch at this Brazilian place called Quitutes, and were hankering something sweet for dessert.  I rarely get into St. Bernard Parish but had heard good things about this donut places, so we headed over for a dozen to bring home. Now, it was about 2:00 PM when we walked in the…
