    We searched for food on the map app on my iPhone and found Tarpon Joe's.  Great little dive bar!  I had the grilled shrimp sandwich and my husband had the fried shrimp sandwich.  Both were great.  The bartender had a great demeanor, and the other customers were very welcoming.  All around great experience.

    Yes, I actually got a $25 <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> gift card for $0.37 plus $2.19 handling fees & from the list of restaurants provided on the site, I chose one I have passed 100 times:  Tarpon Joe's Bar & Grill.  I was hoping for the true dark, wallow-in-mellow DIVE experience...Tarpon Joe's comes PDC to ideal !  The ambience is dark and mellow and the people were extremely cool.  There are not many establishments in contemporary society where an unescorted female can enter, learn she and the manager/bartender are the only gals in the place, and not feel visually and/or verbally "pawed".  The guys at the various tables smiled and/or waved pleasantly when I entered and I immediately got the feeling that Tarpon Joe's has very cool "regulars".  Diane, the main gal of the place, is a darling.  She approached me immediately and made sure I had a beer and a menu.  When I told her about my $0.37 bid and how it got me into her establishment, she pointed out that I probably could not eat $35 (the coupon minimum) worth of food all by myself...Diane was totally correct.  At their extremely reasonable prices, it will be take my honey AND me to eat to the minimum...and we will enjoy every bite!  So, I stuck to beer and cheese fries, the very fare that saw me through university and law school at all of the finer late-night NOLA establishments like Cooter Brown's, Fat Harry's and F&M's Patio Bar !!  I am going to attempt to post photos on this site for the very first time...if successful, you will see the HUGE plate of cheese fries Diane set before me!  Quelle somptueux!!  And, yes, I realize it is probably very difficult to screw up a plate of cheese fries--however, these were made with cheddar cheese (not that plastic vomissement someone had the absolute GALL to label "American" cheese...as an American citizen, I know I feel truly insulted!!!) and the thicker type of fries and, paired with ice cold BudLight, how could a girl go wrong?  I am cracking up with laughter, reading and commiserating with Naomi P.'s review of the "shittingly bad top 40" on the jukebox-- but, then, why did I find myself singing along with some of the songs as I ate?  Quelle mystere!  I am getting old and I don't care!  Anyway, Diane saved me a couple of squares on the Saints-Atlanta football massacre...I mean, pool...and she made me feel like a regular.  Even in and around New Orleans, where hospitality and charm is our middle name, that takes skill!  So, all in all, around $10 later (I know, it was very reasonable and I could not eat HALF of the food, it was so huge!) I walked out to meet the humidity, somewhat enriched by the experience and eager to share the new discovery with my honey.  So, now we have a new venue in which to really and truly wallow in shamelessly dark, mellow "DIVE" :  i.e., enjoy cold brew, make new friends, eat the yummiest of pub fare, shoot pool, shoot the shit, shoot into a cab and go home to sleep it off and see another day !

    I just hosted an event there and the owner is pretty awesome. Great drink specials and we even got into flip cup. The vibe is wonderful.
