| - I love New Orleans. I love the food in New Orleans. I hate it that Rachel B. posted about this place because I'm plenty fat already, thank you! But, it was actually a place I didn't have to drive 20 miles to get to, so I scooped up Rosebud and a pal and we went to try it out. It's in the location of the old Poppa Gar's, but changed mightily inside, with a décor of deep purple walls, Mardi Gras beads, and metallic red booths, which somehow works and is pretty darn comfortable
. Great service. All the staff were friendly and sweet, and no one was judging us for ordering the big sized sandwiches ($2 more for twice as much- how can you not?) The only problem was, we were all so worried that one of us would get something better than the others, that we all went with the fried shrimp. So, we didn't get to sample any other flavors. We all agreed that they were good but the shrimp was on the tough, overcooked side. Nothing a little extra mayo couldn't fix, and it might be an isolated incident.
In addition to the Cajun chips and cole slaw that came with our po'boys, we also got sides to share of sweet potato fries (OK), fried mac and cheese bites (tasty but probably frozen from a restaurant supply), and our favorite, the corn fritters (yummy no matter where they came from).
Even after this deep-fried gorge fest, we would have ordered dessert (did I mention we were fat?), but were going elsewhere later. Next time for sure.
