If you don't know, I review a bunch of shite for the F&DB. I'm a season ticket holder for the past 7-8 yrs.

Last night I attempted to see if anything was new. It was my first game this year. I was impressed with the renovations, and the white walls make the space look larger.

The free beer location was improved, and I was shocked to discover you could bring one beer in. The Happy Hour special was also nice, but it didn't apply to me since I drink the doubles.

I walked around and wanted to first try Geaux Mac (different macs and cheese) and Nola Libre (tacos and burritos). As par for the course, both were closed during a mid-week game. I'll review these later.

I decided to try BBQ. I got the wings and nachos. The wings were "smoked" and the nachos came with pulled pork.




The wings were big and tasty. I wouldn't call them smoked though, since they were covered in a bbq flavor sauce. The were filling, and I'll order them again.

The nachos were mediocre. The pork was good, but they only came with shredded cheese on top. I asked them to put some queso on it, since they were using queso for something else in the booth.

Both products were not hot. The queso became very cold as soon as I sat down. It could have been due to the air conditioning I mentioned in my previous thread.

If I want nachos again, I'll stick to the traditional ones.

If I'm not mistaken, they normally put the queso under those chips instead of on top.

Did not know about the mac and cheese place.


Thise pulled pork nachos are alright. Sometimes I find that they have not pulled the pork enough so has large chuncks which blow on nachos.

Wings look good. Will have to try

The a/c is sometimes ridiclious in there.
