The Rib Room is located at 621 Saint Louis Street in the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the French Quarter New Orleans.
The Rib Room harks of the old Camelot era when people dressed for dinner and ate red meat and drink lots of alcohol. The oversized windows embrace the bustling Royal Street and red meat is still a mainstay at this establishment. However the chef has found a way to make this restaurant take off with creative and innovative takes on hearty foods such as fried green tomatoes, crab cakes and prime rib. The andouille macaroni and cheese is a perfect comfort food. Hours are from 6:30 AM through 10PM daily.
