True. Or the reviewer could have given the restaurant more time to get their shite together before posting an unflattering review.


They've been open for a couple of months in a town that doesn't get that many new restaurants opening. The reviewer said they were disappointed they weren't serving boiled crawfish yet. Why is that bad? It's more of a heads up that "hey if you're going there for crawfish, might wanna confirm first." How are they in March, and not serving boiled crawfish yet?

I had a cup of gumbo up there, it wasn't nearly good enough to make up for the clusterfrick that is how that place is run and horrid service.

That's just it. It was a heads up three weeks ago, not today. The reviewer could have checked to see whether they are currently serving from the boil menu. The average reader is likely to miss that this review took place three weeks ago.

horrid service.


understatement.

I went there tuesday at lunch. not crowded at all. I had to sit myself then go find the waiter after 10 minutes of not having one.

The waiter I waved down took my drink order and then brought me my menu. after a good while, he came back and got my order. my food was brought to me a little longer than i expected it would, but nothing to worry me. The thing is, he forgot to bring me silverware with the meal. I asked for some and he said hed be right back. a little while later he walked back out and waited on another table. after my food sitting there for 10 minutes, I decided to get up go to the bar to get my own. The bartender looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if I could have some silverware. The waiter didnt come back out to check on me until after I had finished eating and brought me the check.

i wont go back.
