Go early to get one of the few seats, there are a couple places to stand. Capacity is about 50 people. Do NOT video record or take pictures, or they stop playing. Do NOT ask them to play "When the Saints Come Marching In". No food or drink permitted, no smoking permitted (yay!), no pets, and no noisy people. They don't serve anything inside (not even water), but great jazz music (and CDs and T-shirts).
With all that said...Absolutely worth the $5 and the hour wait to get in!

Be forewarned, though: it's "cash only." Wish I knew that ahead of time, as it was very embarrassing trying to sort this out AFTER the meal.

I lived in New Orleans for 4 years and avoided this place almost the whole time because I figured it had to be all hype. Nope, it's not. The burgers really are that good. Don't be a fool like I was...check it out!

I attended late 70 to early 80's. I have visited this site thru the years and the stories came more and more as time would reveal. The school was separated by a tree line and private-public ruined sport field, which both areas belonging to the school. The school was private but owned by the catholic church.
The tree line and ditch was the last land mark left visible from the war. The school was above others for studies and development and a bit home school but it
had a history with child abuse with a couple of the instructors (the idea of loose lips sinks ships haunted contracted persons livelihoods, kept the seen quite). In time the money would not support increasing cost to run the school, including that special public schools offering west bank families of higher means, approval to apply to their magnet teaching with some higher help and contributions; new school planning at that time and less costly to the parents which last school high billing made way for some change.
The school closed and the roman head quarters left time to push the final act
for the late 90's. The property came for sale very cheap and members of the
next door tennis membership with the right city council board approval including quite dealings
forced the deal to level all land including the yearly youth sports park and history to start a pyramid scheme for development of a privet suburb development.
One of the interesting after stories, think in 1988 or 87; there a warehouse
between the two places near the ditch. The oldest grounds keeper had kept active, seen living or thought to been living free in the place for the school for many years(truck seem to come and go everyday from that place).
One day i got into that warehouse due to a open door and found during a event. A lot of private girls
schools storage from the European ruined church(a lot of Latin and Italian writings and books lying about). The church had the warehouse filled with things that where left from both sides of the world; strange list of finds.
One of the strangest was a room hidden behind those relics and boxes. You had to search to find this living cove. It was totally chain linked even the door with boxes hiding all views. It had a single bed, one hanging lamp, one chair and a water bowl with a towel. I found books of porno and a lot of underground Satan magazines and written materials stuffed between the bed and springs. The Satan stuff was heavily depicted with occult practice with illustrations and writings. The area looked very out of date but currently used. The bed well made and tight like a military bunk. Every part in the room look as nothing was out of place.
Me and some mates reported some of this with our friends and some of this got to some elders, but no interest was shown (like some over imagined gossip).
Three days had passed and some wandering adults came the place but the whole warehouse was found empty and the grounds keeper was never seen again( if you live N.O. you know you will always come across people you once knew or someone who has ruin across them at least once or two times every ten years).
I have more stories and memories of that place and I will add more at a later time.
