Your Trusted Family-Owned Grocery Store in New Orleans Since 1922
Since 1922, Langenstein's has stood as New Orleans' oldest family-owned grocery store, evolving from a small corner market into a fifth-generation institution. Our commitment to quality began with Michael Langenstein and his sons, who sought to provide the finest meat and seafood in the city. Over decades, we've expanded to three full-service locations while maintaining our core values of exceptional customer service and community connection. Our prepared foods, crafted from time-tested family recipes, have become local favorites, including Crawfish touffe and Le Popeye Dip.We pride ourselves on sourcing the highest-quality ingredients, from fresh local seafood to USDA Choice beef, ensuring every product meets our rigorous standards. As a neighborhood staple, we continue to adapt to customer needs, introducing online ordering and catering services while preserving the personal touch that defines our family legacy. With over 95 years of service, Langenstein's remains dedicated to delivering authentic New Orleans flavors and unparalleled service to both residents and visitors.
