Joe Dreyfus' store-anyone been recently? Update in OP

I am going tonight on someone else's dime. Has anyone been recently? What is good to order there? I went about 2 years ago and was not impressed at all.

*Update- It was four of us that went last Thursday night. No one had alcohol and the total bill before tip was $107.00. Arrived at 7:30 and did not leave until 9:45 or so because service was very slow. Everyone looked at the buffet and opted not to go with that. We ordered the following items:

2 appetizers:
Boudin balls (4 to a serving)- hubby said they were slightly greasy
Fried alligator-(probably 8 small pieces)I had one piece and found it very chewy. Also consensus at the table was tartar sauce contained entirely too much mayo.

4 entrees: *note the entrees are not served with salad but they do bring a bread basket to the table. Rolls were soft but not much flavor.

Mini crab cake appetizer- I ordered this as an entree and also had the steamed veggies that my male friend does not eat. Crabcake portion was good but lacked flavor, contained too much breading, and looked like it was pan fried in old oil or not properly cleaned skillet. Had black specks in a few places. Steamed veggies were green beans, wax beans and baby carrots.

Hamburger steak- hubby ordered this because he is not a big seafood eater and does not order steak out. He said it was good, gravy consistency was thick. This came with a side of fries on the same plate that were swimming in the gravy. He is a fan of Acme oyster boo fries so this was not an issue for him.

Fried catfish covered in etoufee- male friend ordered. Not sure of the exact name. He said he was happy with the dish. He also ordered a stuffed baked potato and the only comment was it was the temperature of lava when served.

Shrimp in garlic butter sauce- female friend ordered. It was served with three crustini type toast circles and she opted for a stuffed baked potato as her side as well. She did not comment that there was anything remarkable about her shrimp but I did not really comment anything negative on my dish as well.

Upon leaving female friend (who had the gift certificate responsible for this night out) stated that she would not drive from BR to eat there again but she would stop if in the area. She is a big fan of old buildings and rustic atmosphere though.

My husband and I dined at not your mamas cafe a few times when in the area and found that food preferable. I also am not very tolerant of the wait.

Final observation: I can have better food with the same or better prices ten minutes from my house with half the wait just by eating at sammys.
