| - Before my rant begins I want to make it clear that I love keeping local businesses open and the 4 star should really be maybe a 3.5 solely on food..
It was our anniversary Friday, so the bf decided that we should try somewhere new, his co-worker had told him about this Cajun place that was delicious and asked how I felt about Cajun for dinner. ..
We had a little bit of a hard time finding the place since it is tucked away and if you just look at the map it almost looks as if it's in the same shopping center as Basha's, but it's behind CVS.
We walked in and get seated right away with menu's, we decided on appetizers and our main course 5 to 10 minutes later... but we haven't been greeted yet. Finally our server comes by and drops off some waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink.. we let her know we were ready to put in appetizers, hush puppies jalapeño style and cajun onion strings please...
15 minutes has gone by and the bf's sprite was gone and water was half emptied and left on the side of the table... where's our server.. there's only 4 tables of couples and 1 larger party who were finished..
Our server finally comes by tells us our apps should be out shortly and asks if we were ready to order our meal.. Gumbo and the Jambalaya please!
Our appetizers finally come out 20 minutes later.. bf absolutely loved the hush puppies! But the onion strings on the other hand were shaved wayyyy too thin.. it was all batter, like the onion disintegrated while it was fried.. 10 minutes later our server checked on us, we asked for a box for the remaining hush puppies but not the onions strings, she asked if there was something wrong, we told her, she agreed and that was that.. then I had to ask her to refill our cups since they've been sitting there empty for quite some time now. Patiently waiting for our meal, I watched as another table after us get their food first, hmm they must have not gotten appetizers as I thought to myself.. then our server walks up and shows us a blank check book and tells us our order got lost... and asked for us to repeat it.. umm funny thing is I don't believe it got lost, because I don't recall her ever writing it down and what the heck took her so long to realize our order was missing?! As irritated as I was I politely answered her...
Our food finally came out 15 to 20 minutes later..
Bf's Gumbo was excellent! Tasty! DELICIOUS! NOW onto my Jambalaya! Yummy as well but a tad spicy for my wimpy butt.. but the chicken chunks in it were perfectly cooked, juicy and tender, definitely fresh and not over cooked at all! I asked for a box so I could save room for beignets, waited a good 10 to 15 minutes before I finally got up and asked for the check and our dessert to be to go... we really didn't want to wait any longer but I also really wanted these beignets... never got the check til I asked a second time.. no bag for our left overs were given either until I asked.. looked at the check and the onion strings were still on which was fine, whatever.. but I had to ask if their onion strings were always that thin she said no and remembered how we disliked it and offered to see if it could be taken off.. Finally 10 minutes later our dessert was brought out, and I guess the owner decided to give us a few extra for me and the little one in my tummy.. thanks that was a nice gesture... ate my beignets on the way home while listening to my bf tell me how that was the worst service compared to all the other crappy servers we get.. but yet the beignets were so amazingly delicious I couldn't stay mad..
So over all our server was super nice and friendly, but just not server material at all, sorry, not sorry.. we were so irritated with the little things that it ruined our dinner and made us just want to get the hell out of there, but then the food was so delicious that it was like a rollercoaster of emotions..
If we decide to eat there again I think we would just do a to go order.. so then we don't have to deal with bad service along with an almost 2 hour dinner time and still tip 20%...
Oh PS their Sausage is amazingly delicious! ;]
