My first thought upon opening the door of the Wild Horse on a Saturday mid-afternoon was, "Run away." As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I saw every head at the bar turn to see who had darkened the doorway. The crowd was sparse, and obviously local. Everyone knew everyone else. Ambiance? Forget about it. It's a dark, charmless space.... More

The atmosphere is not ideal, the people working there are not the friendliest, but the food is flat out outstanding. We have been there several time and, as strange as it sounds, the food is getting better. We have been to the gormet burger shops in the French Quarter and they are not as good as those at the Wildhorse.... More

I hate to give three stars when there food is so good but we have been a few times and there never fails to be a few overserved. I'm all for having a good time but slamming a chair up and down when your football team doesn't make a play is a bit extreme. If you're good with a rowdy,... More

Listen its a shot and a beer joint. We stumbled in one night for a burger and some wings and they both were really good. Same with the fries. I don't have kids but I probably wouldn't bring them in if I did. On the plus side though they got a couple nice tv's with high def so a beer,... More

A delicious greasy burger hidden in a bar!! Luckily I knew some locals otherwise would never have thought to get food here. I will definitely return when I go back this spring.

Hard to review this place. Compared to normal bar & grills this place is the bottom of the barrel. Compared to some of the other dives in the area this may well be one if the better ones. The still allow smoking in the bar.

Been here a few times, and have never been impressed. Food was mediocre at best, and had to wait forever to be waited on, all 4 times I've been here. Every bartender seems more interested in chatting with others, and at times, doing shots instead of doing "job". I've given it a few chances, no more.

My Wife and I had Bacon Cheeseburgers which were the best we've had in many years! They were cooked exactly the way we ordered and the taste was fantastic. The peanut shells on the floor did not bother us - in fact we contributed to that.

Order a burger medium rare and they cook it that way. Great burgers, great prices. Don't be in a hurry here. Also, it's a bar. If you can't stand smokers (I don't smoke), bar drama on occasion and peanut shells on the floor, you might be happier somewhere else. BUT, when you want a great burger and an ice cold... More

We found this place based on recommendations of others and heard they received many awards for best BBQ. The place is huge and there are statues of goofy looking horses everywhere. Feel free to take a picture next to them.....or on them:) They have a big stage and a dance floor with dining tables surrounding it. The night we were... More
