Ive been coming to The Orange Store since I was a freshman at MCD#35 and its always been awesome. Auntie/Mommie always ran the showing the kitchen and she was the best. The new owners are totally different to say the least. Kitchen is extremely slow and attention to detail is definitely lacking. Good thing the original recipes came with the place.

The hot sausage sandwich on french bread dressed is absolutely my favorite item on the menu to get! If you havent checked them out, I suggest you try them.

Unsuspecting, but delicious. The hot sausage, egg & cheese on French bread is so tasty! I’d say it was a lil too salty, but I’d order it again, and I’d come back to try other menu items. Great prices too! The staff was friendly and I had a good experience here overall.

Cheeseburger poboy with grilled onions was pretty good. Other options may be just as good if not better because there were a lot of people getting lunch from there today.

The food wasnt really good & the place was dirty & with cardboard covering the broken floor wasnt any better. The area was super sketchy & had some homeless ppl hanging out right outside just watching people.

Ive been going to this store since the early 90s when it was owned by the owners whom longer been at this store for over two years I received that information this evening when I stopped in to get my favorite teriyaki chicken thats when the new owners told me the store has a few changes but they kept the old menue the food that the people in that area became accustomed to eat and changed the name from the Rampart food Store and name it The Orange Store the name we all called that store because of its color we used to say Im going to the Orange Store and we all knew what store it is the corner store on Rampart and Esplanade Ave the new owners understood that this is why we all keep coming back and this is why I give them FIVE STARS because they are keeping it in the family the previous owner the women who worked in the Kitchen we all called mama she is truly missed but the 7th Ward and surrounding areas Welcome the new owners and Greater Success for them they are in the family now😃😃😃😃

So this place is sketchy BUT youll notice from the continuous stream of people getting food here--the food is GOOD. Like, really good. Get the fried shrimp--it is seriously delicious. The people working here (the women in the back and the big guy running the show) are nice; the ladies English is pretty limited but they know what theyre doing in the kitchen. One of the best late night food options around. Try it, you wont be disappointed.

Review №21

I can’t stop eating the shrimp po boys! They are so good and far too big for any one person to consume, but that hasn’t stopped me from trying. The best part- it’s only 10$! Seriously I can’t even make it myself for that price. Sooo good. I gave it 4 stars because it is a hole in the wall and I’m not crazy about the building, but it won’t stop me from going back. Sooooo good! If they added more items to the shelves and made it a little nicer I think this place would be unstoppable.

Review №22

How this place has amazing reviews is beyond me. Their sweet and sour chicken looks like some mystery fried meat, their lo mein looks like ramen noodles thrown together with various meats and vegetables and also when I tried to swap my girlfriends sweet and sour chicken for wings which by the way is cheaper than the combo plate she initially got, they told me no they can’t change it. How do you refuse a paying customer a change to their order when they expressed they weren’t happy with their meal. I understand this is just a corner store that happens to serve food but y’all still need customers to remain in business right? Never coming here again. Throw together meals that don’t look like a college students struggle meal for a change.

This store NOT run by the same people (as of this year) and unfortunately the food and service quality of “The Orange Store” we all know and love IS NOT THE SAME. I went recently without being aware of the difference of food and quality of service and was highly disappointed. I don’t know if the previous owners have relocated but just a heads up to locals and tourists alike. Don’t be surprised like I was. R.I.P. to the real orange store.

This place should be shut down. I wouldn’t give this food to my dog. Every item we ordered tasted as if it had been made days ago and reheated. I felt sick after the first bite. Please, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Save yourself. Some of the worst food I have ever had. Threw 90% of it away.

I order a seafood platter and it was horrible .then they gave me rice when I ask for fries and a salad . And they gave me a burn egg roll and I dont know what the neck was inside that .A complete mess. And they had so much batter on the shrimp and fish all you could taste was the batter to see if the had any seafood in it. No oyster .

Review №92

An almost anonymous storefront on the bend of N. Rampart St where it turns into St. Claude Ave. The place is distinguishable by its once bright orange paint job thats now degenerated into a sunbaked rust color. Hence the name by which all locals call it, “The Orange Food Store. A Viet family from out East own and operate the place. Dont expect any Bah Me sandwiches or Pho though. Youre here for the Shrimp Poboy. Arguably the best in town. Why? Because Mama uses the anachronistic Jumbo Shrimp. That reason is so simple youd think any of its competitors could easily match them. But they dont. See, in 95% of this city youre gonna get dealt small, high-count critters which means youre paying for a lot of breading on your bread. The difference that these Jumbos make in mouth feel, satisfaction and most importantly, flavor is apparent the moment that you chomp on into one. The price is more than reasonable. $8 for a giant poboy that two can easily share. Shell also make you one “on a bun for $4.50! Its not on the menu but just ask for it, theyll make it for you. That leads me to the my other tip about the Orange Food Store. Use the provided phone number and call in your order ahead. If you just show up in person anytime between 10:30am and 2pm you are going to spend most of your lunch break waiting in line for your lunch. Im not the only one who knows about this place lol. Some folks rave about the Terri Wings. I agree that the teriyaki sauce is homemade and utterly AWESOME but for some reason Mama punks out on the wings themselves. Theyre so freaking skinny and small that the only thing theyre good for is providing a delivery system for that Teri Sauce.
