  1. Queen Deva I must say Neyow’s is not he just lace my husband and I visited the place and it’s amazing, celebrating our 44th Anniversary, I viewed your video about your favorite restaurants, we had to try it 👍🏾 enjoyed it thank you so much!🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

  2. I love you big Freedia
    You have such a wonderful beautiful spirit and perso🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏nality
    Keep Keep pushing forward I'm so proud of you.

  3. Our girls trip to NOLA was great UNTIL time to eat…Neyows was very disappointing we just knew it was going to be good. The chargrilled oysters were delicious everything else was not that great…

  4. I could watch Big Freedia talking about pretty much anything! They are such an upbeat, positive, fun person who deserves to be a hell of a lot more famous than they are!

  5. Me and my family went to New Orleans for the first time last month and completely fell in love with everything especially the food omgg lol. We went to Neyow’s and it was incredible.. I wish I knew about the other ones while we we’re there but me and my boyfriend are planning another trip for January lol and will definitely go to all of the other ones

  6. Big Freedia made me visit Neyow’s today. The food was amazing. The cornbread dressing. Omg. And the bread pudding was the bomb!!!!!! North Carolina in da house. Trying all the spots he spoke of!

  7. Next time I am in NOLA I am trying all of these places. I love NOLA and Big Freedia. I can taste the food through the screen!🥰🤗

  8. Thanks for sharing. Mr. Freda NO SHADE! You are not a queen diva. You are a King. Embrace your manhood King.

  9. Okay, I am back from New Orleans. I went to Neyows, and the food was delicious. I had fried oysters, macaroni and cheese, and hush puppies. I also had the drink that is on the table, it is called the Bow Wow. If you have two Bow Wow's you will be barking like a dog! I didn't get a chance to go to Morrow's or Lorretta, but I did go to Dooky Chase's and their food as delicious too. Thanks for the tips Big Freedia.

  10. I love 💕 Big Freda from Sacramento CA, come see us, when I come back to NOLA 😊 I will look you up I will be back for ESSENCE FESTIVAL in 2023 Let the good times roll!!!!!

  11. Big Freedia IS New Orleans, so I watched this video. I really loved it, because I learned a few new spots.

  12. I looooooveeee BIG FREDA!!!!!!!!!! HE MAKES YOU KNOW THAT, " GAY PEOPLE ARE, OKAY PEOPLE, TOO!!!!!" 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😇🎉🎉🍑💥🍓🍋🤩😘😘😘😘💯💋💋💯💯💯😘😘🥰🥰❤️🍊❤️❤️❤️❤️🍊💋💯😘🥰❤️💋💋💯💯💯🍍🎊🎊😍😎🥳🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒😎😍🍎🍍🍷🍷🍸🍍🎊😍🍓🔥😇😇😇🎊🍊🥭❤️🥭🤓😇

  13. I’m here in NO! I’ve tried all 3 of the places Big Freedia has recommended! My favorite of the 3 is Neyow’s! We are finishing up as I’m typing this! Gr8 service & food! However, the best that I’ve tasted is Loretta’s beignets w/ crab meat then the praline beignets (I also got the beignets w/ PnJ but haven’t trued them yet). Good food at Marrows as well! Thanks Big Freedia for recommendations!

  14. I’m going for Christmas and looking for great food places on YouTube when I saw Big Freedia…YESSSSS, thank u for making it easy🤗🤗

  15. OMG I FOUND GOD WHEN I FOUND THIS CHANNEL. LOVE YOU MUCH FOR THIS. MY FIRST TIME WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL. VIRGIN. LOL LIVE IN BROOKLYN

  16. Good job on the video. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to Loretta’s. We did make it to Neow’s and the food was ok not what we thought it would be. It didn’t have the wow factor, however; THEM CHARGRILLED OYSTERS WITH THE FRENCH BREAD FOR DIPPING WAS THE HIGHLIGHT! I would go back just for the oysters, but when you have to add salt to their red beans and rice, there’s a problem. Thanks Big Freedia!

  17. I used to eat at a lot of black owned businesses but then I realized that I was culture appropriating. So now I take my money elsewhere. I’m glad for these black owned businesses, hope they do well.

  18. My New Orleans family please don't allow these Carribeans and Africans to take ownership of your culture, cultural foods & music and traditions.
    Do not trust those people, they are here to erase and replace our people through being "black."
