Best Thing I Ever Ate, Season 11, Episode 6

Marjie's Grill is a wood-fire Southern restaurant at 320 South Broad Avenue in New Orleans's Mid-City area; OpenTable lists it as a barbecue-style restaurant taking reservations. Sources have differed on its status: Yelp's page for the business carries a closed-business marker dated January 2026, while OpenTable's 2026 listing and the business's Instagram account both show a Monday-Saturday 5-10pm dinner schedule posted in 2026. In a September 2026 check, Google's listing for the restaurant marked it permanently closed, matching Yelp's closure marker.
