Felix's Oyster Bar

Anybody know whats going on there? I work nearby and they have been closing on random days and now it looks like they have been shut down all week. Rumor has it that ownership is tanking the business but its just servers talking. Place has been around for a long time and recently expanded, would be a shame if rumors are true.

Haven't been in a while, but it's usually my families go to oyster bar in the quarter before Saints games, etc. My dad did say the past few times he's gone they were serving pre-shucked oysters that you could tell had just been sitting in the fridge for a while.

only thing good at Felix's is the FRESH shucked oysters. The rest of menu has been sub par for years. I dont think I have ever walked more than 15 feet inside the place. The goodies are at the oyster bar. would be shame if they close. Acme is way to crowded/touristy for me.

I know that they lost their liquor license a couple of months back.

Filed for bankruptcy. No one in town would sell to them. He was running back and forth to Restaurant Depot.

I'm not sure if they were still there after Katrina, but some of the shuckers have been there for decades. One older guy's name was Paul, and he said that he'd been shucking oysters there since the 1940s.
You could always depend on the size of the oysters there too. Another thing you could depend on was the standoffish nature of the manager with the foreign accent who roamed behind the bar like a disgruntled pit boss.

Yep. That's why it had become our go-to place. I distinctly remember leaving Felix's with my dad as he yelled,"THE OYSTERS ARE MUCH BETTER AT FELIX'S, YALL ARE AT THE WRONG PLACE!", to the people waiting in line at ACME
Hopefully they get their sh*t together.
