Big Al’s is a must when we come to The Orleans! Sometimes more than once during our stay! We have been coming for years and are never disappointed. Laura the assistant food and beverage director is a hands on manager. She takes care of everyone and pays attention to details. Many times I have ordered the crawfish boil to take back to Arizona and she has it packed specifically to be transported. Miss Saba has been there for years and we always request her. Her service is exceptional. Her bright smile and personality will make anyone feel special! Thank you for your years of excellent service. Highly recommend everything on the menu. Great job to all the team involved!!!!

This is the go-to place in Las Vegas. Great oysters and other delights! Forget Palace Station--the two hour wait is NOT worth it. (Plus selection of oysters was minimal).

Their Clam Chowder is to die for. The bread they serve with it is perfect. Everytime we go to Vegas we always go there.

We were a bit worried since the reviews online weren’t that great. The food is different than it used to be, but still tastes pretty good. Our only disappointment was that they used to make fresh mojitos, now it comes in a can.
