| - Came here after a movie yesterday because my boyfriend has been wanting to try it, and we were in the area. Decor was nice, warm and inviting and very clean. Our service was prompt and friendly, and our food came out promptly. I knocked off two stars because I wasn't enamored with the food at all, but it wasn't terrible. I ordered the Jean Lafitte Bowl complete with corn, black beans, voodoo chicken over top of white rice and topped with sour cream, cheese, and scallions. I have a few complaints about this dish. Firstly, it was way too sweet. Not just a hint of sweet...sickeningly sweet for a savory dish. The ratio of sauce to rice was approximately 1 part sauce to 2 part rice...barely any black beans or chicken. Also, rice was unseasoned and bland.
Boyfriend got gumbo and jambalaya. To me they were lacking spice and flavor. Again, both were incredibly underwhelming.
Drunken chicken po boy was decent. Needed something else than just chicken on an open faced bun. Perhaps coleslaw for texture and interest?
I wanted to like this place, but I probably won't come back because to me, the food was simply not memorable enough.
