I have not been here in a long while, it was pretty good a while back, not excellent, but pretty good. At night, how is the food?

Someone mentioned to me that when they went at night it was as ghetto as Chimes East, little kids running around, very loud.

the shrimp are a little better in the evening.

I wasn't a fan of how the shrimp tasted early in the day around lunch.

We like the one in Natchez. Really good gumbo and the menu reminds me of the old Sammy’s on Highland.

they don't do any sort of delivery. and if you want to order ahead for pick up, you have to pay IN ADVANCE!

Have only eaten at the Natchez location but it was very good. I wish Katy had a Roux 61.

I found this to be true.

I like the one in Natchez, though.

Look at their customer base.

The restaurant probably eats so much profit dealing with their shite

I only order 3 things from there. Asian glazed wings, steak bites, or fried cheese.

I never make it to the "main dishes."

That place sucks. I went there about a year ago and felt like it was way overpriced for the quality of the food. On top of that they charged me an 18% service fee. When I received my credit card bill I noticed the gratuity line on the copy I was supposed to sign did not say additional tip, just tip. On my way out the door I spoke with the manager about that bullshite practice then he kindly explained to me the 18% service fee was not a tip for the waitress but instead money for the kitchen personnel and that I was expected to leave a tip per normal practice on top of that service fee.

According to him this is common practice in the restaurant industry. I laughed at him and kindly explained to him why he will not see me at his restaurant again. I have not been back since.

It’s fine for what it is. I’d only go if invited. Food has been good.

Cheese logs are solid. But that reminds me of a meme.

“Can I interest you in 12 pieces of string cheese”

“Um. No thanks.”

“But what if we clumped them together, battered and fried them and gave you ranch and marinara?

“You have a deal!”

I don't understand receiving 4 downvotes for asking a simple question.

Only been a couple of times, but their peacemaker poboy is delicious. The couple of times I’ve had it the oysters were fried perfectly.

I pay no attention to up or down votes because they don’t mean anything for this site

Anyone who votes one way or the other is a loser lol

But yes, just a simple question that I don’t know why can’t be answered

had actually forgotten about this place. we went this past weekend.

seafood gumbo was horrible. i like dark roux but, this was actually black and tasted burnt.

The fried shrimp were really good.

we got there a little ahead of the dinner rush. when we left the waiting area was full of people and i didn't see many open parking spots. so, apparently the place is pretty popular.
