Came here after a parade to put something in our stomachs before heading to bed. Small wait considering a lot of people had the same idea. I got a hot sausage on bun with tater tots and a chocolate shake. My partner got the shrimp po boy on bun with fries. Overall the food was good and did its good.

Love it! Camellia grill is a quintessential NOLA breakfast spot! Classy Waffle House!? The waiters in chef coats and perfectly cooked and served breakfast hits the spot! Everything runs smoothly from seating to paying! Perfect!

Camellia Grill came highly recommended by a friend, and the place did not disappoint. I love the vibe and tradition of the place, and definitely enjoyed sitting round the counter top. The service was great, and everyone was very friendly and talkative. I had the ham and eggs and it hit the spot. I like honey with my coffee, and got my own jar for use. All in all had a great breakfast here and definitely would recommend if you're coming through New Orleans. Thanks for having me!

I've been coming here for over 50 years and nothing changes, ever. And in some cases that's good, as it is at this NOLA institution. It's absolutely a 'greasy spoon' type establishment, but indeed a cherished one. There's only counter seating and at times it gets tight between seats, creating an often communal atmosphere with fellow diners. It's not unusual for conversation to strike up which adds to the enjoyment. The place looks like something out of the 1930s or 40s. Service is friendly and attentive and they do keep it moving along. In my experience there may be a blip here or there, but when it happens they get on it. Today I had the Chef's special omelet with chili. It's a massive thing with many of the usual "everything" breakfast ingredients plus a huge amount of delicious chili on top They ask if you want the chili. It's enough of a meal to last the day. Along with it I had a side order of the absolutely creamy and delicious grits. My dining partner had the waffle and bacon that were apparently "OK", nothing special. Accompanying my meal I had piping hot coffee... and, overall the meal was very satisfying, matching the classic atmosphere.

Great place conveniently located at the end of the St. Charles line in a beautiful part of town near the Garden District. The food is totally casual and seating is at the counter only on stools giving it a real down home feel. The place has been around forever because they make everything perfectly whether an omelette or Po Boy and the staff are superb. I love watching them put together each dish. If you have the time to go, it's definitely worth the trip.

We passed by and realized this was the spot featured in Somebody Feed Phil. Pulled a U-turn and popped in for a late lunch. Definitely greasy spoon diner with history, and you definitely don't want to watch how your food is cooked, but it was good and hit the spot. Lol. We ordered the Camellia's special sandwich, which i misread and thought it would be grilled (especially after seeing how the lunchmeat was handled with same gloves grabbing things from the counter and pressing buttons) and the Chef's Special omelet. They forgot the chili on the omelet so it ended up getting served on the side, but that worked out nicely. We really wanted to try the freezes but we needed to save room for dinner. We loved the decor and vibe of this place, just wish it was a tad bit more food safe. This is a must visit, for the history and for the fun employees!

Food, Service, Ambiance Just what I wanted just when I wanted it food was heavily flavored with years of my memories. I can't remember New Orleans without remembering the Camellia Grill

A local recommended I try this restaurant for breakfast. It could not have been a better place to kick off my first trip to New Orleans. It has a classic NOLA front with the white pillars, porch, and large trees. Inside it's quite small with only counter style seating. (I'm not sure if there is anymore to it.) It is true to diner style eating. We were greeted by the friendly staff working the counters and were surrounded mostly by locals it seems and a few tourists like myself. It wasn't too busy since it was a mid morning weekday and found 2 spots right away. We ordered the pecan waffle, bacon, and chili omelette. Everything was so good but that waffle - omg I love that it's on the thinner side and you only get one. Most places serve such big portions. Another fun part was pouring the butter. I've never seen that at any restaurant. It was magic. Please try this place whenever you're in town.

Saw this on Somebody Feed Phil and had to try them. Cheeseburger and fries were great! Service was good, counter made for a great conversation area.
