About
The sizzle of burgers pressed under a metal hubcap fills the air at Clover Grill, a 24-hour diner that's been a French Quarter fixture since 1939. This LGBTQ-owned spot on Bourbon Street draws a mixed crowd of locals and late-night revelers with its cheap, greasy comfort food and unpretentious vibe. The retro interior looks much as it did when it opened, with white-washed walls and a lively, no-holds-barred atmosphere that feels pure New Orleans.
You'll find burgers, breakfast served anytime, and just enough sass from the staff to keep things interesting. It's dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your pup along for the outdoor seating. The best time to go is after midnight when the quarter is winding down and the grittiest, most genuine moments happen. Reviews call it a must for anyone who's serious about absorbing a night out in the Quarter.
Located in the French Quarter on Bourbon Street near Dumaine St, Clover Grill is steps from the bars and clubs that make this area famous.

The customers were interesting and diverse, but the food wasn't very good.

“Drunk food at its finest”
This spot is right in the middle of the French Quarter, making it easy to visit when you need a bite after a rowdy evening on Bourbon Street. The interior still looks like it did when it opened in the 1930s, and the food is greasy, inexpensive, and tasty. It stays open around the clock, and the waitstaff have a perfect amount of attitude.

“comfort food par excellence”
After a late night in the French Quarter, this dependable spot with its welcoming servers and tasty, soak-it-up comfort food is the perfect stop. It's essential to eat here at least once when you're in New Orleans.

“Fun to be had!”
The Clover is a lot of fun! When I was there, people were singing and dancing between the tables. The food was excellent, and everyone was very friendly. Whether you're straight or gay, you can't go wrong at the Clover.

“LOVE IT!!!”
As a local, I absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, and the customers are wild, but it's a great spot to eat. They have everything from custom burgers to cereal or grits, any time of day. Whether you're sober or drunk, you'll eat well. Don't take life too seriously and join the fun at this 24-hour diner.
