    Always a fun time eating at Ye Olde College Employee. As a former server there, it's nice to go back and feel instantly a part of the family once again. Glad I got to bring my friend who has never been there before! We had a great time!

    We came with our service dog. We were told that we could not sit inside the restaurant with our service dog but had to sit outside dining. We informed the manager this was against the law but he refused to accommodate. We were with our grandson who was hungry so had to sit outside. Every other place in NOLA accommodated us. Some of the best spots in the city.
