    College Inn has been an old friend you never want to lose. The food and service are always great but the people, both the staff and diners, make it such a great dining experience. John Blancher and family are preserving New Orleans memories one meal at a time

    Quaint neighborhood gem! The Old Fashioned's are excellent and reasonably priced. The food is delicious and consistently good. I've eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. The wait staff are attentive and the service is excellent. I highly recommend a visit.
