I go to Chimes East much more often than the original, but I haven't noticed any issues with the food at the original the few times I've been there in the past couple years. Both places provide solid casual food IMO and an atmosphere that suits me just right.
This.



No, that!


I used to be there two times a week in college, it's just not as good. Especially the appetizers, the Chimes Club is still good.

I agree that the atmosphere is great, but between the beer list complacency and decline in food quality... I'll typically go somewhere else.

My staple dishes there are blackened alligator, red beans and rice, crawfish mac'n'cheese, and crab cakes. I haven't noticed any decline in quality in those dishes. My wife usually gets salads or some type of sandwich... haven't heard a complaint. What is bullshite is the fairly recent policy change which requires you to get fries with a sandwich, no substitutions.

The beer list may be complacent but it is still leaps and bounds better than most causal dining places that I consider competitors ( i.e. Dempsey's, Sammy's, etc.). I know I can go there and at least get SN Pale Ale or Anchor Steam. If you look at the menu right now for the original location, it isn't too shabby.
