Why would their success be a mystery to you if you realize that most people don't value the same things you do
What do people that love Rum House value?
I said, it is disappointing that NOLA would support the Rum House as strongly as it does.

It's far from alone in being a mediocre restaurant that does well in New Orleans.
True, but it's easily the most successful.

I'm not any kind of BR homer, FWIW. As soon as I can find something in New Orleans that wouldn't require too much of a pay cut I'll be there
You will be welcomed. New Orleans has too many options for people to settle for Rum House. I think people who enjoy trying new restaurants are rewarded in NOLA.
You don't have to be a foodie to understand the Rum House is overratted.

People go to places for more than just the quality of the food. When you are at a restaurant with everyone having a good time, drinks flowing, that has real value.
You seem to judge a place by how the food tastes only. And their food isn't so bad it's not worth going. Homemade salsa is great and I got their mandarin salad last time which was fantastic.

Did the owners of Rum House rape you or something. I think at least half of your post history is you bitching about this place.

I'm from BR and have lived in NO for a few years. I've been to many restaurants. Rum house is good. I like their brisket taco's. It's a different feel from the standard mexican restaurants. The food is geared towards a more mexican/caribbean infusion of cultures. I find it good, and me and my fiancee' go there whenever we are in town and are just touring around the city.
I love the pretentiousness of you NO die hards here.
Is it the best place to eat in NOLA? No.
Is it a good place to eat in NOLA? Yes
They do what they do very well, and are rewarded for it. Yes some of it is atmosphere, but isn't that what about 75% of sales from a restaurant comes from? The draw of a nice atmosphere? You're not going to go eat good food in a rusted out, moldy crackhouse.
Their food is good and the atmosphere is good. If either of the 2 were not good, then they wouldn't get business. Plenty of restaurants sprout up and die because they only had 1 or the other. You have to have both to stay successful in the Restaurant biz, which is a business that has one of the worst success rates.
