Anywhere there are oysters, I am in. Anywhere there are specials, I am in. Big Daddy's Bourbon St Bistro has been on my 'go to' list for awhile. Also ever since I saw on my friend's twitter feed about their seafood fondue and oysters, I knew I had to check it out.
If you know me well enough, you know I like to do some research on the restaurant before my visit (like any other food blogger). Well thanks to my sometimes not-so-healthy obession with eating, I found out that if you sign up for their newsletter online- they give you a free appetizer! So I signed up and they sent me an email with necessary information for my free appetizer. I gotta admit this post is a little outdated but this free appetizer deal is still valid.
My friend and I dropped by for dinner on a friday and we found the restaurant pretty much packed. We waited for about 10 minutes or so before we were seated in a corner booth.
Ordered: Chef's Choice Oysters 5/5
* Dozen chef selected oysters served with horseradish for $21
* We were given around 5~6 differet types of sauce
* My favorite is always fresh horseradish and some type of vinegrette
* Fresh oysters for less than $2 each is a pretty good deal
Ordered: Seafood Fondue 5/5
* With shrimp, bay scallops, blue crab meat and mushrooms for $14
* This was my favorite dish out of all
* Basically a creamy dip that is served with some bread an pita chips
* It was seasoned just right and went well with our wine
* I almost licked the bottom of the plate, need to go back for this!
Ordered: Bourbon Street Crab Cakes 3/5
* Made in house with blue crab meat topped with roasted red pepper cream sauce for $12
* This was the appetizer we got for free
* Crab cakes were mostly crab meat but for some reason it was kind of mushy
* I prefer crab cakes to be slightly fried outside since the filling is already very soft in texture
* Red pepper cream sauce was a little bland
If you are planning to drop by Big Daddy's, keep in mind that they have 'Voodoo hour' on Monday (4pm to close), Tuesday - Friday (3pm~6pm & 10pm ~ close) and Sunday (4pm to close). Available in the bar area only, you get $2 off from their small plates menu which varies from $6 to $12.
Summary: Overall I really enjoyed my meal at Big Daddy's Bourbon St Bistro. Our server was friendly and I liked the laid back atmosphere of the restaurant. I would def go back and get the seafood fondue and maybe this time I will try to drop by during their Voodoo hour!
