The Camellia Grill has been a beloved fixture in Uptown New Orleans since 1946, offering a unique dining experience with classic diner fare served by bow-tied servers. The restaurant takes pride in using only the finest ingredients, crafting hand-made burgers, world-famous omelets, and towering sandwiches.
Not only celebrated for its delicious food, The Camellia Grill has a rich history of inclusivity, having hired African American workers for front-of-house positions during a time of racial tension in the segregated South. This progressive approach to staffing has created a welcoming and diverse environment cherished by both patrons and employees.
Founded by a New Orleans family, The Camellia Grill has upheld its tradition of serving quality food with style and grace for three generations. It remains a fabled landmark diner where guests can taste the essence of New Orleans culture while enjoying exceptional service and a menu that has stood the test of time.
