I think its getting there what with the burger proliferation these past few years. Throw up a "best burger in nola" thread and mention POC and you'll get 10 people agreeing with you and 10 people telling you its not even in the top 10.

Pretty much any restaurant that is popular in New Orleans, if it is somewhat popular to tourist you get this from locals "oh no that place sucks, you'd need to go to this other place on the other side of town"

Without fail

That's because sometimes cliches are true.

Places like Mother's and Brennan's are garbage with infinitely better options out there.

I'm going to start a fued here I guess. La Pizzeria is the worst pizza in Lafayette. The. Worst. I'd rather eat CiCi's. How this place gets any kind of love at all is beyond me.

And you didn't even mention Pizza Village, which is the best pizza anywhere on the planet. And yes it's better than that pizza you ate one time in Napoli where the guy grows his own wheat and has had 5 generations pass down their pizza knowledge to be instilled into his one pizzeria that's only open on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 11:30 and the wait for a table is five hours.

Zippy's

Only because I am not a fan, but everyone else seems to be. I like the atmosphere, but the quality of ingredients is lacking.

I love all locations outside of BR.

I took the family to fleur de lis last night. The pizza was excellent and the beer was cold.

I can't think of FDL getting any hate on here. Anyone seen this?

Canes - isn't the chicken tasty? does everyone call it a shithole simply based on the constantly increasing prices and shrinking portions?

Absolutely kills my stomach. And I eat like shite so that's saying something.

The hate for that place is much less rare than a black chick using a push mower.

honestly I've only had it once and the crust was too cooked ie burned for my liking. but seriously that is a lame review because that was at least 25-30 years ago.
