I just read the thread about the guys plans for NOLA this weekend. And he was asking for some recommendations.

What does the OT think is the most over-rated rastaurant?

My vote is Mothers. Its a tourist trap and has mediocre food at best.

Nah, it is a little over priced and not worth the wait, but the food is actually not bad. I ain't going, but people can do much worse in the city.

By far the winner of this award is Brennans. It has been hot garbage for at least 5 years now. Damn near bankrupt from what I hear.
It saddens me that tourist come to down and spend $150 per couple or more for dinner and around $100 per couple for breakfast here. Sucks.

Runner up is
Court of Two Sisters

There's a whole board on this website that lives for giving people NOLA restaurant recommendations, to say nothing to the N.O. Restaurant Guide linked to on the TD homepage.

generally agree - if you take mothers for what it is, which is a downtown spot to have casual new orleans food when visiting the city you can definitely do a lot worse. you can do better too, and its certainly not a locals destination... but for a tourist restaurant, it is what it is....

the other two are criminally overrated.
