I have been dying to go there since seeing it on Food Network's, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I took a friend, who usually eats out at chain restaurants, to broaden her horizons. It was everything and more of what I was expecting. Artsie and non-pretentious. The decor was real and true and the service was wonderful and refreshing. The food tasted so fresh and delicious I was sad when we ate it all. My friend absolutely loved it and she asked when can I take her back. We will definitely be going back very soon!

I have been several times but usually order the same thing. I like the loaded mushrooms, southwest eggrolls, and the smokehouse chicken sandwich I've had...but I love the potroast sliders. I was skeptical at first but was told they were really good so I tried them. They have mashed potatoes, pot roast and brown gravy on them and it's hard for me to order anything else because they are so tasty.
They have a bunch of pool tables, and dart boards...a couple foosball tables, shuffle board, and a ping pong table which I thought was pretty cool. Service is about average...i've had awesome service sometimes and other times sub par which is about the same thing I get everywhere else I go. It's also very big...we were able to get my girlfriends birthday party reservation of 30 on fairly short notice.

Our party had a wonderful lunch and the service was great!
The only minor disappointment was my ceaser salad, a tad too much dressing, soupy by the end of the meal.
The restaurant decor is beautiful, a great addition to the neighborhood.Very family friendly - my 2-year old grandaughter and 3 week old granddaughter joined us and they were treated royally!
Thanks for a very nice dining experience...I'll be back, there are so many entrees to choose from, want to try more.

My wife and I have visited Shield's Manor a half dozen times. This elegant, out of the way, bisto is great! The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is super. Food? Every meal we've had there is outstanding. With DeDe cooking and Max running the dining room, it is a great experience . . . and yes, you'll get to know them by their first names.
I highly recommend it if you're looking for an elegant experience and great food!

My wife and I have visited Shield's Manor about a half dozen times. This little, out of the way, bistro is really great! Service is impeccable, atmosphere is quiet and elegant. The owners are very visible, with DeDe doing the cooking and Max running the dining room. Yes, you'll all get to know them by their first names . . . it's that kind of place. Did I mention the food is excellent?
I recommend it for any occasion, but especially when you want an elegant, romantic dining experience.

Suprisingly good. I had heard from a couple of friends that they loved it but I never ordered anything but papajohns til now. Wheat state's wheat crust was much more flavorful and fresh. I also got a small white crust for my daughter and it was better too. It took 5 or 10 more minutes than papa johns usually does but i noticed the differnce in quality.

The Radiators were born during a transitional decade in the history of New Orleans music. The Meters, the premier funk band, had disbanded, the Neville Brothers formed, and in 1980 Professor Longhair, the father of New Orleans R&B and spiritual embodiment of Crescent City Soul had passed on. This decade would prove to be the fertile period of development when a unique blend of rhythms and sounds came together and "Fish Head" music was born. The Radiators, an extremely eclectic group of musicians, rely on a myriad of musical influences to create their own sound - "Fish Head Music". At a Radiators show it is not uncommon to hear blues, R&B, jazz, country, Zydeco, soul, swing, and even gospel filtering through their original New Orleans Rock N' Roll.
This group could only come from New Orleans. Since its earliest settlement, the city developed a rich musical heritage that gave birth to 20th century American music. Musicians from this region were the first to incorporate African rhythms with Western melody. Beginning with culture-blending jam sessions at Congo Square, this musical tableau unfurled in the hands of artists such as JellyRoll Morton, Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Earl King, The Meters, Dr. John and others too numerous to mention. These acts provided great inspiration for the Radiators.
During their early years, the band members were able to watch and even play live with many of these local heroes. They combined these influences with the rising spirit of sixties rock and R&B to form a new, rhythm-intensive blend of rock and roll. After all, if you're going to the party, you might as well bring something new, right?
The Radiators are in their 30th year of providing some of the most intense live performances (over 3600 thus far!) of any band on the road today. Their intuitive grasp of each other's moves, coupled with a repertoire of nearly 1300 songs provides a basis for a fresh and spontaneous approach to their music.
The band formed in January 1978 in Keyboardist Ed Volker's garage. Ed, Frank Bua, and Camille Baudoin were performing in one band together, with Dave Malone and Reggie Scanlan in another. "Ed invited us to come over to his house and jam; Dave and I figured we'd have a few beers together and play a couple of blues tunes," remembers Scanlan, "instead, we jammed for five hours straight, then all quit our old bands the next day."
Since that legendary first jam session, the Radiators have developed into a strong national act, a result of their marathon length live shows and a relentless touring schedule. The Radiators quickly became one of New Orleans' hottest musical acts, then rose to national prominence as their fans spread the word across the country. In New York City, for example, crowds that started with transplanted Tulane University graduates dancing at the Lone Star Cafe steadily grew. This story has been echoed by similar ground swells rippling across the country.
Their reputation has been further augmented by a sizable body of recorded work - eleven albums released on labels including Epic/C.B.S. and Croaker Records. Aside from backing up such New Orleans legends as Dr. John, Professor Longhair and Earl King, the Radiators have appeared with the Allman Brothers, Little Feat, B.B. King, Robert Cray, The Band, Los Lobos and Taj Mahal to name a few. They are also a featured mainstay of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival every year, owning the coveted closing spot on one of the main stages and playing to an audience approaching 30,000.
The Radiators' instinctive musicianship catalyzes the festive spirit of their shows. Set list... who's following it? This band's legacy rests not only on their extensive repertoire, but also on an uncanny ability to choose the proper song for any given moment. This synergistic pas des deux between artists and audience makes the crowd a part of the music. This intuitive interaction is the hard earned result of 25+ years of live performances.
The Radiators are a true rock n' roll band, loyal to the concept of ensemble playing. They rely solely on the spirit of the music and lyrics (coupled with the band members' natural rapport) to create "the show". It is this musical marriage that has created the Radiators legend and secured the fantastic loyalty of fans known as "fish-heads". Some describe a Rads show as a contest between the band and the audience to see who can have the most fun (and everyone WINS!). Their music is a living & breathing entity, and one never knows what will happen at a Radiators show... not even the Rads!

The best of all. The atmosphere is nice for families or for a date-night. They have the best pollo picante, salad, bread and pasta. I highly recommend you order their seafood ravioli or seafood stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer if you like seafood. It is scrumptious!! I have not had my best food there. What you get for your money is a lot of food, well worth what you pay for it. Get there early on a weekend night because it is so good that everyone goes there.

Re: “Art of Pizza”
I tried it for the first time in Dec 08 and have ben back several times since. I live in Overland Park, so it is not real conveniently located for me. I am from NJ and struggle to find good NY Style Pizza in the mid-west. I think this is better than Original, D'Bronx, or any other place I have tried. The crust is thin, slightly crisp on bottom, lots of bubbles, and the sauce is exceptional.
