St Mary's Restaurant

Saint Mary’s Restaurant is a new restaurant that opened on West Metairie. Their business model helps those with developmental disabilities. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and inviting, and the staff couldn’t be nicer—genuinely friendly, attentive, and happy to make sure you’re taken care of. The food was outstanding. The Orange Julius was better than the ones they used to have a Lakeside. The grillades and grits were phenomenal. Tender, flavorful with perfectly cooked grits. Overall, Saint Mary’s is a gem—great people, great vibe, and incredible food. Highly recommended!

We came on a Friday evening after work. From the hostess to the waiter, the service was friendly and quick. We got the grits and grillades and the breakfast platter. Delicious! Love the mission behind this restaurant. We will be back for the food, experience and support for St. Mary’s!

First time coming here and the food didn’t disappoint. My table had the churro waffle with bacon, chicken sandwich with frys, the Cajun benny with a biscuit, along with a side of cheese grits. I would highly recommend the waffle it was crispy and delicious. The eggs benny was okay, the boudin came in a fried patty which was just okay but the biscuit is fantastic and the jam tasted homemade. The cheese grits were lack luster. The staff is friendly. I’m confused on the vibe this place is trying to give. As it looks very nice and a sit down place. But we sat ourselves and you go to the counter and order your food. And then handed a number card for your table. It’s reminiscent of a hotel because they have coffee out with cups but we asked if we are to pay for the coffee since it’s self serve a

I would like to give this place another shot. I had the Irish Breakfast and as someone who loves the traditional Irish Breakfast I was disappointed and did not finish my plate. The flavors were not there, and though traditional Irish Breakfast is bigger on quality ingredients than heavy seasoning there was still something missing. And as I’m typing this I’m realizing that most Irish Breakfasts include some sort of potato. The plating was very beautiful and neat. I would be interested in trying their fried green tomato poboy. The shining star of the whole establishment is the service which you will see highlighted in the reviews. That alone would make me come back and to try their lunch. This place has potential for sure and maybe my expectations were too high.
