Generous portions. Great lunch specials. Their fried catfish is crispy, flavorful and large filets. My favorite catfish in the city. Live music on Sundays is also a really fun way to wrap up the weekend!

Crystal was our server and she was amazing!! She recommended the seafood platter and the food was all fresh :) we came visiting from NJ and this is probably the best food and service we’ve had since we’ve been here, definitely ask for CRYSTAL ...

Great atmosphere, delicious food, good service. Bring your wallet, it is pricey! But worth it. Get the chargrilled oysters. You will thank me later!

Food, atmosphere and servers are amazing! Glad my 2nd visit wasn't my first,, because the older gentleman who seated us was so stand-offish I felt unwelcome or as if our visit was annoying him. Had I not already known from a previous visit how great they were, I would not have stayed that time. But I did and our server and food was great! I drive 4.5 hours from North Mississippi for their charbroiled oysters and it's worth every mile! It's laid back with some down home elegance. Decent restrooms and all servers ive seen/had were super friendly and helpful.

Put your phone down and go to jaegers. No photos this time but the ambience here seriously reminds me of a OG ruby tuesday. And if an original is good enough to be a chain it surprises me that Copelands is as popular as it is and this place remains a gem of Nola it always was. Get your self some of the best bang for the buck raw oysters out there and any combo you want. Can’t got wrong. Highlights: Anything stuffed : crabs, eggplants, peppers. Desserts are great but their bread pudding is the real deal. So get you a bucket of beers and a marg and savor this place.

Flew into New Orleans, this was our first stop to get some good food. It's an old bar type place. Very dim lighting, has a stage for a live band, and a great big gator at the front door. Don't worry, it doesn't bite. Our server was a kind lady and the food was delicious! Thank you!
