Camellia Grill
626 S. Carrollton Ave.
New Orleans LA United States
An old-time short-order diner, with cloth napkins, bowtied waiters and cooks, in a Greek Revival building located right at the riverbend where St. Charles Avenue meets Carrollton, Camellia Grill specializes in hamburgers, omlettes, and milkshakes. Pecan pie is served at all hours, warmed on the grill like everything else. Although chicken is available, this place is not for the cholesterol-conscious. Camellia Grill has developed a sort of cult following through the years due both to the impeccable service and the old-style food, to the point where some tourists schedule a stop on their visits. Whether a place like this can be called a time-warp or just timeless is a matter of opinion. Regardless, it's unique. Expect lines late at night and at breakfast, when local workers and students are out. Seating is strictly at the counter and thus rather limited.
