Editorial Review for Crazy Johnnie's Steak House – by Maura York
The Scene
Family-style dining with enough harmless adult diversion to still fit into Fat City. A showcase of merchandise bearing a sun-glassed cow sits near the door and sets the spot's laid-back mood. A dimly lit dining room offers little fanfare; thrill-seeking guests head to the bar for video poker and libations. The front deck fills up when the restaurant is on a wait.
The Food
Good steaks and seafood. Outrageous specials like the weeknight early bird dinner--a respectable eight-ounce filet, served with a side of garlic-buttery mashed potatoes for under $10--have made Crazy Johnnie's famous with Metairie diners. Other worthy bargains include Monday's red beans and rice, Tuesday's half-price bottled wine and, particularly if you dine with a group, the generous and always-available house salad. The stuffed mushroom caps and Crazy Johnnie's special coffee bookend meals perfectly.

Most menu items are good, but not great. Stick with the steaks. I've had good experiences there, Would rate them 3 stars, but past 2 experiences I'll give them 2(lucky they don't get 1). My last visit was horrible. 8:00pm on a Saturday night and they ran out of steak. Had the grilled tunna (terrible). If they seat you at a table that seems awkward(near the kitchen or in a positiion where you have heavy traffic), request elsewhere. You will be miserable during dinner as the waitresses place their hands next to your dinner as they "squeeze" by. All in all, I would pick Outback over Crazy Johnnie's regardless of the bad experiences. I also advise to drive around and find a place to park before trying to park in their so called lot.
Pros: steaks. diping bread.
Cons: sevice. seating. parking.

When my husband and I were dating we lived in Metearie ("Fat City") 13 years ago, we always ate at Crazy Johnnies. It was our very favorite place to eat. It has a romantic memory for us because we ate their together and loved it. The food was always exceptional for such a reasonable price. We have moved around to different states since then with his job, but whenever we are with a group of friends talking about our wonderful times in New Orleans, we always mention that if your ever in Metearie, you must eat at Crazy Johnnies. It was very small back then and you had to be sure to get there before the crowd. We haven't been back in such a long time, but when we get the chance we will be sure to go to Crazy Johnnies to see how wonderfully it has grown.
