Thoughts on Rum House?

Wife and I went to the one in Baton Rouge and had a very nice meal.
We split the curried mussels which were very good and I got the 4 taco plate with the duck, lamb vinadloo, seared scallops, and calypso beef tacos.
All were loaded with meat and fresh toppings. It came with a meat pie which was spiced nicely and some fried plantains. Also had a side of the black beans with chorizo relish and crema.
The atmosphere was a little too lively as the acoustics of the restaurant are kind of bad and the interior is so loud you have to yell at the person 3 feet away from you to talk.
But I'll be back. The food was different, fun, and casual.

New Orleans one has great drinks, exceptional atmosphere and meh food.
I would never wait in their ridiculously long lines. Place stays as busy as every 5-star restaurant in the city.

I went last week for the first time. The tacos sounded way better on the menu than they ended up tasting. The tortillas weren't very fresh and the other ingredients didn't seem of the best quality.
Very happening atmosphere though. Lots of talent all around.

The Rum House of Baton Rouge proves the old adage, "In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king."

I've been 3-4 times in BR. Fun atmosphere and good drinks, there's not really any other places in BR like it (beach/Caribbean).
All the food I've had has been pretty good, except the tacos are just ok at best. Nachos are legit.
Have never had to wait but we usually go mid-afternoon. I would never wait more than 15mins though, unless the ole lady was dead set on it.
ETA:
I agree with this

I think the drinks are great, but Torchy's tacos are head and shoulders better.

I enjoy the tacos at Rum House and I'm not afraid to admit it.

3/10 because the parking fricking blows.
Great location but I hate it when businesses open and don't consider parking accommodations. I had to park across the street and cross perkins last time I went on a Tuesday afternoon.

When we went there I got the Trinidad Chicken Roti and it was very good. Also you need to try their macaroni and cheese it's the best I've had in a long time.
We went for lunch and there wasn't a wait but I would never wait the insane wait times there is on a Friday or Saturday night.
