Manning's

It's no accident that Manning's is followed by the subtitle Eat Drink Cheer. This is one of the best sports bar/restaurants in New Orleans, a Harrah's New Orleans restaurant partner owned by former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning, who spent 12 years playing at the Superdome. The restaurant is heaven for any fan of the Manning family, with all kinds of memorabilia from Archie Manning's playing career, and that of his sons, Peyton and Eli. The sports theme at the 210 seat restaurant is driven home by 30 flat screens always tuned to one game or another. There's even a giant screen in a section called the End Zone where cushy leather recliners await. As for the menu, it's an intersection between Mississippi Delta and Creole, with specialties like shrimp and grits and local red fish.
