New Orleans Manor

I like the Manor alot, but I really like crab legs. If you don't like them, then don't go because thats the best part. The other things on the buffet are good, but not as good as the crab legs. I took my parents who live close to the beach and get alot of great seafood, and they LOVED it. It's worth going at least once.

Pros: Crab legs

Cons: Price

New Orleans Manor is the best place for a seafood buffet. The crab legs are incredible and the oyster rockefeller is fabulous. They also have really good prime rib. The service has been impeccable every time and the owner always comes out to say hi. A great place for a large party too. They have large rooms that can be shut off to the rest of the restaurant. Or you can sit at a table for 2 in front of one of the fireplaces. I would highly recommend this restaurant to locals or visitors from out of town. Hands down one of the best places to eat in Nashville!

$38.50 for some decent crab legs, and that is it. The rest of the food is mediocre, not very many choices, and ingredients are not fresh. The crab legs were good, but I could have had a really gourmet dinner elsewhere for less money. Do it once in your life anyway, so that you can complain like me!

Pros: Beautiful house

Cons: Lousy overpriced food...

I can't believe they even call this a seafood feast! The "hostess" was a bored teenager reading a magazine. I've seen better buffets at a chinese restaurant. Prime rib was overdone and swimming in a vat of water, lobster was so chewy it was not edible, the service was about as good as Subway and even after I commented on the $12.00 lobster I ordered was very tough, all the server said was "i'll pass that along". What? She didn't even offer to make it right, make it over, nothing... just like "tough luck".. I will NEVER EVER be back and I'm sorry I went in the first place. I could have spent the $100.00 on something really nice. As far as other people saying they were seated right away.... that's because there is NO ONE EATING THERE! It might have been great once, but obviously it is not run by anyone who knows how to cook.

Pros: none

Cons: horrible old food, No service

We take group vacations every year and we have a seafood Friday at every city we attend. This was the most satisfying so far. There was 10 in our party and a few are self proclaimed "seafood experts". We were seated right away and then we got busy for what we came for, our farewell to Nashville seafood night. We ate crab legs, frog legs, oysters, very very good orange roughy, seafood salad, seafood chowder, pasta alfredo with huge chunks of chicken, prime rib, bbq ribs, corn on the cob, cheese bread, homemade pecan pie...just a variety of good food and it was GREAT!!!! ...even the tossed salad was very good. The waiters were very nice and I love the fingers bowls they have on your tables. My one complaint is the smoke from the smoking section traveled over into the non - smoking section. Luckily it was near the end of our meal. But, the waiter mentioned that it will be a non smoking environment in August. That's even better.

Pros: Parking, Food, Ambience, Service

Cons: smoking section, buffet style

We dined at the Manor a couple of years back for our anniversary. We truley enjoyed everything from the service, atmosphere and the food. I cannot believe anyone would have not given a great review. We are planning on making a Nashville trip this weekend and we will be returning to the New Orleans Manor.

Pros: All Good

Cons: None

DEFINITELY 100% TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! We were told they had a delicious buffet and wanted to try it out. The Buffet was horrible! Cold Lasagna, chunky room temperature Seafood Chowder, and a very expensive price for the cheap stuff being served. 2 ppl for dinner, worst $85 I spent in my entire week in Nashville! Take that money & go get a a delicious steak @ Fleming's Steak House on West End Ave., or some yummmmmy bbq at Corky's in Brentwood instead!!! Trust me, don't waste a dime on this place!

Pros: Nice Watiers

Cons: Horrible Greeters/ Horrible Food!

We came here for our office party this year. Everything was great, the service was good, the food was great, Beautiful Christmas decorations, nice wine list. I can't complain about anything, except it was a little crowded, and we had to wait awhile at the buffet. I will be back soon.

Pros: food, parking, ambience

Cons: crowd

Although the oyster Rockerfeller was good, it had a lot of grit as though it was a cheap oyster. You can get better quality at the Aquarium at Opry Mills. They did not not have a large assortment of seafood as you might expect. The crablegs were mediocre at best, I have had better at some of the chinese restaurants in Nashville. As I took a tour of the restaurant by myself, I noticed a man sleeping in the hallway of one of the rooms meant for dining. Now I don't know if this was an employee or what but I wish I had his job. My opinion of this place, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This place is very dirty and the food just was just awfull!! For the price of 2 people you can eat at Red Lobster and have better quality food and a much nicer atmosphere.

Pros: none

Cons: very poor atmosphere

Wow, my Fiance' and I went here for my birthday, a few weeks back, and the service and food was great, we tried a little of everything they offered, and everything I tasted was to die for. we sat at a nice table by a window, and our waitress Rachel got us a great chardonay to go with our meal. She was very pleasant and attentive, the best service I have gotten anywhere in a long long time. We will be back soon. Keep up the good work! Mary

Pros: Great food

Cons: buffet was crowded
