| - I have only been to New Orleans once...but I loved the food, so I was really excited to try this place out. The service was very attentive, but they weren't that busy.
Dave and my aunt got the prime rib, Austin got the baby back ribs and I went for the Bayou Country Creole. Luckily we read all the reviews and they ordered their prime rib without the gravy.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the prime rib and Austin really liked the baby back ribs. Of course I had a bite of everything. Good flavor on the ribs, not to spicy for a kid. My aunt tried the Sweet Potato Souffle, which is absolutely horrible, it had been reheated so many times is was like cement in a cup. And while their food was ok/good; I came here for New Orleans fare, not the same stuff I could get anywhere in town, which was why I was disappointed. The country creole was just ok. It was a bit bland and it really didn't take me back to New Orleans. It seemed like I could do better pulling a recipe of the internet.
I also didn't realize they were somewhat of a chain with a handful of locations around the county. I understand the food needs to be somewhat bland because they are serving so many people; but on the other hand I would have been much more impressed if they took the bold step to prepare and serve the food more like they do in New Orleans, that is what people are expecting, or at least that was what I was expecting.
I doubt we will be back because I can get the same fare any place else in the city.
Also, we went here on a coupon from restaurant.com...don't waste your money on these coupons, you have to spend so much to save a few bucks, the bill would be the same or cheaper without the coupon!
