I have been eating at camellia grill since I was a child. I know many of the employees and the manager from having friendly conversations with the nice people who truly love working at the historic landmark. The food is amazing, and always comes out quickly. The staff has been trained by former staff, some of whom were legendary fixtures of the place, working entire careers there and taking a lot of pride in it. The majority of the staff is African American, management positions included, as it has been for a hundred years. And the manager is certainly not racist, as his life choices have made one hundred percent clear. I hate when people who get the slightest bit offended try to smear a restaurant, shop, store, or any other small business with the race card. It is completely unjustified and absolutely ridiculous in this case specifically. This is a hundred year old family friendly icon, and I'm calling bs. That is all.

I came here while visiting New Orleans in 1999. I had an omelette and a coffee and it was the greatest I've ever had. To this very day I order the same omelette every time. Turkey and Swiss with hash browns and a side of sausage. The staff are incredibly friendly and cool and the atmosphere is just right. Now that I live in New Orleans, Anytime I have Friends coming to visit I make sure I take them here!
Thank you Leon, Will, Michael and all the rest. And continue to Rest In Peace, dear Marvin. WORD!
