I would order the hamburger and fries ($5.95) and a side salad ($1.95)


Yeah, those are cheaper than most places.

I'd sub the soft drink and get a beer for maybe a dollar more.

If that damn thing taste like a johnny's pizza I want $16.50 back.

And if they are betting on my lovely old blue haired Bocage hen friends to arrive and pay those prices I can assure you it won't happen.

I fail to understand the popularity of the batter barns. Even if Pat's is judged to be excellent by the FDB, it is unlikely I will ever dine there. Sammy's, Mike Anderson's, R&K etc might as well be a chain. The menu choices are almost identical.

Boring.

A cold beer and a decent burger or fish at Sammy's is enough for me. They have a serviceable enough fry menu which I can partake in every now and then and watch a few minutes of a game.

I have no need for any others.

Sammys has Dinner items like Bayou Catfish and other things that are not on every menu in BR. Sammy's also cooks everything correctly. But, I do agree with you on R&K, Mike Anderson's and throw in Drusilla Seafood.

Pats in LC use to be a staple

went last year for first time in ages and it has gone downhill

price too high for what you get. got the stuffed flounder and I swear it was the size of my palm with a baked potato about 3 inches long.

I haven't been, and have no desire to go after what I've read on this board. I wonder if they're staying busy?

You are correct. Baton Rouge has GOOD FOOD and they banked everything on zero market research. If they did do research then they should fire the researchers and close down and reopen.


not sure why they think they are real cajun food.... that place hasn't been "real" in over 15-20 yrs. The one in henderson is terrible and caters to tourist, the old man's food has long been gone. I spent a lot of time in henderson growing up. My grandma and aunt lived there. The food was good back in the day, but shite so was the landrys there as well.
I wouldn't expect them to think they needed to do anything b/c they think they are superior.... meaning the family.

A previous thread bashed the shite out of it. A poster said they told their server to tell the chef the food was bad. The server replied that the chef didn't like it when people insulted his cooking.

Pretty much sums up your point.

in Henderson, they are a big fish in a small pond. They are a destination restaurant. People travel there out of nostalgia to eat. If the food sucks, oh well it was still fun going there.

when they entered the baton rouge market, they are a small fish in a big pond. with their current menu, there is no way they can compete. Parrains blows that place out of the water (in price and in quality).

in reference to the other poster.... when you get told your food is great by buses of northerners, mexicans, asians and europeans on a daily basis you tend to think your shite doesn't stink.... problem is none of those people know what the food is supposed to taste like.
