Deanie's On Hayne

This place has a great atmosphere, good food and a very courteous staff. There's always something new on the menu at least every week. I really like this place.

Deanie's Restaurant & Bar in New Orleans East is often confused with the other Deanie's Restaurant group that currently has locations in Bucktown, The French Quarter and The Garden District but there is zero connection between these restaurants. So we have to emphasize again that this Deanie's Restaurant & Bar has no relation to the other Deanie’s Seafood Restaurants (other than a shared name) which the confusion seems so strong that many have just started calling this joint "Deanie's on Hayne" to differentiate it from the better known and larger restaurant group. So "Deanie's on Hayne" or Deanie's Restaurant & Bar traces its history back to the mid-1960s in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Deanie’s on Hayne opened in its current location the 1970s, when the fishing camps on Lake Pontchartrain along Hayne to Little Woods were beginning to disappear. The bad news is that Deanie's on Hayne has very limited serving hours being open 11AM to 4PM Monday to Thursday and on Friday from 11AM until 8PM so most folks are mainly going to get lunch here and maybe an early dinner on a Friday. The good news is that Deanie's on Hayne has rotating daily specials and they have a HUGE selection of different items everyday. You really get an amazing variety of so many things which are prepared in many different ways. They have a large bar here if you are a solo diner and then they also have plenty of table seating options as well. They really pack a HUGE amount of great stuff into what looks like a relatively modest building from the outside. You get good food, great service and a nice environment along with most other things you would want in a dining experience all wrapped up into a nice package here. Overall this place is a definite place to put on your list for a future visit and once you experience it you will likely return for more.

Shrimp 1/2, Catfish 1/2 plates...a very nice dining room clean and well lit. Not pompous, homey and friendly efficient staff. A pleasant experience Ya'll.

Yummy foods and awesome workers! I came here two days in a row cuz I love it!

Deanie's is a family oriented restaurant. The staff is always friendly including the owner Phyllis. The food never disappoint and it gives you a feeling of comfort. A great neighborhood getaway.

Their fried seafood is always good. I didn't care for the seafood gumbo or shrimp and tomato bisque. The cabbage was ok, it had bacon and smoked sausage in it. I prefer to stick with them for the occasional fried seafood platters. I'm not a fan of their home cooking dishes. I will always visit them now and then.
