Mona Lisa Bar and Grill

"A must stop! Amazing dive bar with killer food. Get the grilled oysters and ask for Magic Mike!! That garlic sauce is to die for!!"

"Wow!!!! If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! My husband and I are staying in Louisiana for the night before going on a cruise for our honeymoon. We asked the hotel concierge for recommendations on where to go for good food and drinks. They directed us to another place and when we walked in, I knew it wasn’t what I was looking for. I went to google maps and stumbled upon this gem and I AM SOOOOOO GLAD THAT I DID! As soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted and felt at home! I ordered a drink and asked for a menu, the bartender pointed to a man and told me that he handles all of the food. I went over to him and he was soooooo sweet and kind and glad to make me whatever I desired. Mike is his name. We ordered the crawfish egg rolls and a sausage po’ boy—OMG SOME OF THE BEST FOOD IVE EVER HAD!!!! Mike makes everything from scratch and KNOWS what he is doing in the kitchen. We were lucky enough to meet the owners as well and they were the literal best and so kind and welcoming! Of course I can’t finish this review without mentioning Lisa, our wonderful bartender! The kindest, sweetest, best person that makes great drinks and will never let you go thirsty. Seriously, this is THE BEST bar I’ve ever been to in Louisiana, and I frequent here often. I cannot stress enough, the way that everyone makes you feel at home. The hospitality that we received was superb. I really cannot even say enough good things about this place. It is an experience like no other and there is something so special about it that YOU MUST experience yourself. Do yourself a favor and give it a try, the authenticity of the people, food, and atmosphere is, bar none! The headache that I have today is 100% worth it. The time we had here was probably in my top 3 best experiences at a bar/restaurant and that is saying a lot coming from a long time food industry worker and self proclaimed foodie. Check them out, you will NOT be disappointed."

"Been going to the Seafood vendors next door since 1998 but never stopped here for a cold one. Today I was at the Westwego DMV and cruised over to checkout the markets and ended up at Mona Lisa's hanging with the regulars and eating some tasty crawfish egg rolls. Read the reviews about how friendly the locals were and how good the food was and wasn't disappointed! Ray was the official greeter and Kathy was pouring smiles behind the bar at Noon! Looked for the message on the dollar bill by the clock that was left by the Bachelorette girls too! Words to live by? Beer was cold, jukebox was bouncing, kitchen was cooking and this Westbank dive bar will see me again! Thanks for letting us hangout y'all!"

"Love the place. Nice atmosphere and good foods and drinks. Mike is a good cook. The food was great. I just want to say that, in addition to a nice meal, we had a delightful bartender, Masha. She had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. Service was awesome. Will be back definitely!"
