Liuzza's by the Track sits beside the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, close enough to the Jazz and Heritage Festival grounds that it turns into a spring fixture every year during the fest. The signature dish is the BBQ Shrimp Po Boy — shrimp sautéed in a New Orleans-style barbecue sauce, stuffed into French bread — alongside a menu built on Creole gumbo, fried seafood platters, and a well-known Bloody Mary.
Other standbys include the Breathtaking Beef po-boy with horseradish, a Reuben, and a run of po-boys, plates, and salads covering shrimp, oysters, catfish, and roast beef. It's a small, casual neighborhood spot that draws a mix of regulars and race-day or festival crowds.
The restaurant has been named to Eater's Essential 38 list for New Orleans and appears on both NOLA.com's and Where NOLA Eats' 2025 best-of roundups.
