The Camellia Grill located on South Carrolton near the river is a local treasure. The Camellia Grill doesn't fuss with heart health or cloth napkins. What it does do is offer delicious comfort food for a New Orleans soul running on 25 cents past empty.

I must have eaten at the Camellia Grill in New Orleans a hundred times. I have learned to always order dessert first, Pecan Pie Up Side Down on the Grill with Ice Cream. I order dessert first so I can finish it. Camellia Grill serves up generous portions, often more generous than the personal space offered by it's small stature.

I suggest taking the street car to or from Camellia Grill. You will not regret the line you will surely have to wait in. The food is good and bad for you. A New Orleans Tradition. Look at our Waistlines if you don't believe me!
