MeMe’s Bar & Grille

We’ve eaten at Meme’s several times and always have a great experience and tonight was the even better. Food, service and company was great. We ordered chargrilled oysters, bbq shrimp and 2 surf & turf steak and lobsters. Don’t have a bad word to say about anything. The bbq shrimp is by far one of the best. What a great night!

Went to Me Me’s for the first time tonight and we were throughly impressed with the food, service, atmosphere and bar. Everything was spot on. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. It’s not the cheapest place to eat but I didn’t feel bad paying for what we got. Also, they are adding onto the restaurant so there will be two bars, two oyster bars and twice the amount of tables. We will defiantly be back for more and if you’re from chalmette you need to go here.

Love this place! Bangkok oyster sealed the deal for me! I got the lobster ! Can’t go wrong with lobster! Besides that it was fertilized so it had black eggs in it but good place to dine!

First time here. Right down the street from my house. I us the surf and turf and a few appetizers. Girlfriend said her margarita was the best she ever had. Service was great. My steak was a little less than hot, but still great. The lobster was huge and delicious. The place is small and quaint. Great place for a date or a quiet nice evening out.

Friday Dinner with my Daughter, first time here walked it was asked did I have reservation told Lady we didn’t she said place was full but if we wait few minutes she’d have table clean ready well it took less than 5 minutes we was seated.(Lobster Night)
We Started with Charbroiled Oysters with Fresh Garlic Bread oh my so delicious, order Seafood Plate was fresh delicious so much enough for 2 people, my Daughter had Lobster with mashed potatoes she says fresh & delicious, so full but we had dessert homemade Bread Pudding with White Chocolate Sauce yummy the best.
This is wonderful place Everyone was so nice friendly our waitress (Maggie) was Great when we was leaving the Owners ask us how was the food, did we enjoy ourselves and thanked us for coming I found that to be kind thoughtful, we’re definitely returning soon !!!

Called on a Friday around 4 PM to make a reservation for 7PM. A very polite gentleman answers the phone. I asked for the reservation, and he replied, «We don’t take reservations, but we will find room.» I said no problem, see you at 7. My wife, baby, father, and I arrived at about 6:30 and was greeted at the hostess podium by the owner. «Do you have a reservation?»… Not «Hey, How are you doing, Can I help you… nothing like that» I said, «No sir, I called earlier to make a reservation and was advised that ya’ll do not take reservations. He said «well that must have been the cook, and I don’t know why he said that. I can’t fit you in tonite» Ok, sir, so nothing later? «NO, NEXT TIME CALL AND MAKE A RESERVATION»…

I finally found oysters that rivaled Dragos. The Bangkok Thai oysters are to die for. I got to meet MeMe and she assured me I would come back before I even ate. Well, she was right. Seriously good oysters.

Not the best atmosphere for a good meal! Some staff is disrespectful and rude and confrontational for no good reason. Worst date night ever!

Friday night I called into Tom Fitzmorris’ radio show and asked him for a recommendation for a restaurant off the beaten path for someone who lives and plays in Orleans Parish. Without missing a beat, he told us to go to MeMe’s. I’m so glad he did because now we’re both big fans!

The Best Filet! Awesome Lobster! Fabulous Drinks! Friendly Casual yet Classy Atmosphere. Great for a girls night, date night, or a group. This is definitely our special event place. Have been for Filet Night, Lobster Night, and Prime Rib Night and All have been delicious!

A true gem in a smaller community, this establishment would easily fit into a major food market such as Atlanta. Food speaks for itself with freshness you can taste.
The staff only adds to the flavor of the Restaraunt… As do the lovely owners who were making sure everything was running smoothly. Made to order dishes are stars of the show and the menu is diverse enough to feed even the pickiest of eaters all the way to a true gourmand.
Giving this place 5 stars is like saying Michael Jordan played basketball, a true statement sure… But an understatement most certainly.
If your in the area and don’t eat here your tastebuds will surely murder you in your sleep.

I venture to Chalmette about once a week for dinner and MeMe’s is the «fanciest» restaurant in the Parish and one of the best. The chef, Lincoln Owens, came to MeMe’s via Emeril’s and Café B, so one can expect a level of cooking that you really can’t find elsewhere in St. Bernard. The menu is large and has everything from seafood and steaks to Italian dishes. They have different specials on different nights — Thursday is steak night and Friday is Lobster night. The stuffed artichoke soup is delicious if you like stuffed artichokes. They top it with crabmeat for a little lagniappe. The grilled oysters are excellent and the crabcakes are delicious as well. I don’t like a lot of bread in my crabcakes and these are light on the bread and full of crab. They bake them which is perfect for me. You can’t go wrong with any of the fish dishes. They are always on point.
One of my favorite parts about coming to MeMe’s is that the owners make you feel like part of the family. They are so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place I’d recommend.

Delicious!!! They were packed when we got there, but they put a couple tables together for our group of 6. The owner came by several times to talk with us and make sure the food was good. Our waitress was also great! We got incredible garlic bread before our meal and my shrimp scampi was rockin! My coworker got oysters and she ate them faster than I could say oyster.
Will be back next time I’m in New Orelans!!!

it’s the best restaurant in St. Bernard parish! it’s a little pricier than most places in the area but definitely worth it.

Came here with some family for a nice dinner. The free garlic bread is a huge plus.
We started with chargrilled oysters as well. They were very good, but I think they had a bit too much Worcestershire on them.
I had the Pasta Pakenham — Sauteed Fresh Gulf Shrimp with Fresh Artichoke Hearts, thinly shaved Prosciutto & Parmesan in a White Wine Garlic Sauce over Linguini. It was DELICIOUS. And oh so filling!
My SO had the baked potato soup special, which was not good at all (we went to Wendy’s to get her some nuggets after). My mom had the veal parm, but originally was served chicken parm. They swapped it out, but I don’t think they gave her anything in addition for the screwup. My grandparents had oysters and fried seafood, and my brother also had the pasta Pakenham.
All in all, I was very satisfied with my meal, but there were a couple screw-​ups that cost MeMe’s that 4^th star. I’d like to go back and give them another chance though.

You HAVE to order garlic bread, the first order is free, which is awesome, plus it’s really good. I had the Pasta Pakenham with chicken. The sauce was just right, it wasn’t too heavy. Also had charbroiled oysters, they were also delicious. The service was great, friendly wait staff. They accidentally delivered a wrong order, and promptly corrected it without hastle. The price wasn’t bad at all, especially for the quality of food and service. I would definitely go again, with family or large groups. Everyone in my party enjoyed the food, except for the potato soup. The veal parm was good, the shrimp on the shrimp and grits were huge and delicious. It has a very mellow atmisphere, it is an upper scale place, but they’re very laid back and friendly. If you’re looking for a nice place to eat in Chalmette with great people and a friendly wait staff, Meme’s is the place to go.

Great little restaurant, with plans to expand. I’m hooked on the Red Fish special item. They change up the dish frequently which always keeps me ordering it. Friendly wait staff and the owner is typically onsite asking how the experience was, which is great to see.

Wasn’t sure what to expect in Chalmette with «Bar & Grill» on the outside, but this was fantastic. We had the fried chicken livers, which may have been ground, and were very crisp and coated with a spicy site made «pepper jelly», which I think contained jalapeño, over stone ground grits. The widens not a big dan of chicken livers, and she loved it.
We also shared the Pasta Lafitte, which was again fantabulous. Pasta was cooked to perfection, not rubbery at all, and the sauce was perfectly balanced. Very spicy, but didn’t hammer you, no where near delicate, but not too heavy.
We’ll be back for the BBQ shrimp PoBoy!

Phenomenal food, phenomenal service. My boyfriend and I actually had a debate about whether or not our waitress was on cocaine or not because of how energetic, excited and helpful she was. This chick really likes her job and it shows. The food is impeccable and worth every cent. My only regret was not ordering the lobster. We will be back ASAP! Best place I have been in a bit. Excellent ambiance and lighting, perfect temperature, clean and tidy place, fully stocked and clean bathrooms, full bar with an Experienced bartender, not a complaint in Sight!

I have lived in Da Parish for the past 5 years and worked here the past 10. With that being said, I rarely go out here for dinner, lunch, drinks, or anything. I guess primarily because my kids live in Metairie and I live so close to the city. The other reason being every place was basically the same fried everything. Meme’s has that too but a lot more ambitious options as well.
I went here for the 1^st time today for lunch with my boss since he came in to see me from Houston. I ordered the BBQ Shrimp poboy with garlic fries. The flavor of the sauce was really good as were the garlic fries. The shrimp had a strange batter that left me a little suspicious as to whether or not they were fresh or frozen. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since everyone in Da Parish has shrimp boots, surely they have fresh shrimp. The only other issue is that they put mayo on the sandwich. Why would anyone do that on bbq shrimp? I HATE MAYO!
The place is small like Cracker Jack box small but very nice on the inside. THey had real table cloths and cloth napkins! That’s huge in Chalmette! They had a decent sized wine list (how good it is I have 0 idea because I am no expert) They are always running specials like steak night, lobster night, etc. I definitely want to go back and try some other things and write a better review. For now though 3 stars is a good start.
