Diners in New Orleans

New Orleans has been a long-time contender for the food capital of the country. The city's food culture is unlike any other, with dining considered the most important activity of the day for many. Known for Cajun, Creole, and traditional southern dishes, it's no wonder the city is home to many classic, southern diners.

Although diners' rich history began in Providence, RI and not in the south, it comes as no surprise that diner culture fits in nicely with the all-night, deep-fried, coffee-loving food culture that the south also embodies. A typical diner patron conundrum is: should I have breakfast or lunch? Often times, you can have both, as common diner fare includes southern breakfast staples like grits and biscuits as well as classic American lunch items like burgers and fries.

If you're looking for a cafeteria-style diner, Mother's is arguably the city's most famous and has been serving New Orleanians and visitors since 1938. Boasting the world's best baked ham, you can get your meat-and-three fix here. Or if you're a pancake and eggs person, you'll be satisfied with breakfast menu items, served all day.

For New Orleanians and visitors up all night and looking for their late night (or early morning) meal, the city has many diner options for you. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch (or maybe a mix of both), you'll have no trouble finding a restaurant that satiates your appetite.
