In the very near future Feliciana will be the Gold Standard that all others will aspire to.

You must not have good taste. Those places are both fine, not revolutionary but solid.

that was perhaps libelous to rips on my part you’re right. It’s good fried seafood

Abita brew pub is terrible though

Lot of fighting in here about some mediocre restaurants

if one should find themselves in lovely abita springs, both mama d’s and abita cafe are far superior dining options. The brew pub is a cool place to hang and listen to music on the patio though and the beer is good. Food not so much. And Rosie’s is a great dive bar

Didn't Mantra just move out there from Metry? Some really solid Indian food if so.

Busters is good in a simple way.

Have not been to DiCristina's in a while, but they are very good.

Forget the politics about Del Porto. The food is worth it

Bumping this to see what’s the best steak spot? Is it Gallaghers? I am going Friday evening.

Never ever ever go to Del Porto’s. Why spend $$$ in a place that hates you?

I prefer 527 over Gallagher's Hwy 21 simply due to the acoustics of the buildings. I cannot hear myself think at the 21 location but frequent 527 a good bit.

Pat produces a better steak over KY IMO.

Numerous people have also told me that Sal n Judy's has the best steak on the Northshore by far. I have never had the steak when visiting Sal n Judy's however.

For an elevated experience, Tchefuncte’s in Madisonville has the “best” steaks on the Northshore. They have dry aged, wagyu, A5 etc

Tchefuncte is good but extremely swanky. Gallagher’s is more of an old school steakhouse. Their steaks are good but can be a little inconsistent. They are always better when Pat is there. The cowboy has gone downhill in recent years FWIW. Super thin now. My go to is the. boneless ribeye. If you like your steak rare or medium rare, ask them not to put it on a hot plate when it comes out. Their plates are super hot and will cook the steak more and make it uneven.

Agree with earlier poster that 527 is typically a better steak. Both 527 and Tyler locations have a better steak than Young’s IMO. Pat Gallagher also bought Annabelle’s and is opening a new restaurant there. I believe target is this month. It’s called River Saint.

had dinner at del Porto tonite for the first time in a while and it was phenomenal. Really enjoyed it and the waiter was fantastic which I appreciate. Less than $200 for four courses and a bottle of wine.

Sucks that the greyhound closed though, that was our favorite
