It’s 700 degrees outside. The hell are you doing ordering etoufee and gumbo?
Whatever you are eating aside from that isn't hot?

You sound Insufferable and you tipped 11%. I’m glad you didn’t enjoy your meal.

The Buffalo chicken sandwich is the only thing worth ordering there.
Most of the sandwiches and wraps are solid enough for sports bar food. I usually get the Cobb salad.

I’m very surprised you aren’t getting absolutely destroyed for your $5 tip. That is quite embarrassing.

In his defense the tip amount is usually tied to the experience.

This post screams “my mother in law”. She goes to places like Walk Ons and set expectations way to high. Orders things like steak and pasta dishes and then whines about how it’s not great. It’s a fricking sports bar!

Your French Bread expectation at a sports bar in Arlington, TX is hilarious.

Why? Like I said this is a Louisiana Restaurant chain and they are serving (apparently crappy) gumbo and ettouffee. If you are playing that card you know French bread is as much of a staple with them as rice. You can get French bread at any HEB as easy as you can Texas toast so it’s not like their industrial food service supplier can’t get it.

Now expecting Leidenheimers would be a bit much.

Two things I don’t order at any restaurant…much less in Texas.


This


But I don’t go quite that far. Some fine dining establishments, certainly, walk ons, I’m not going past a burger.

Other general seafood rules I have

No “crabmeat” dishes unless it’s a find dining establishment I trust, also No softshell crabs at restaurants where they reside on a menu all yr, I don’t care to eat crabs that have been swimming in Chinese shite water.

Found your problem


Why is that a problem? Almost all sauces and soups and gumbos and stews that are served in restaurants are prepped in a commissary then reheated. The gumbo at Walk on’s in Arlington shouldn’t be any different than BR or Laffy or Knoxville. It’s not like T-neg is in the back making a roux in grandma’s magnalite pot at any restaurant

Ordering that at a chain restaurant anywhere is unwise.

I didn’t know that French bread was considered a de rigueur accompaniment to etouffee and gumbo. While I might serve French bread, I might also serve a dinner roll of some kind. No one has seemed surprised or disappointed.

But then my gumbo and etouffee are pretty good.

It's not a Cajun restaurant, it's a Sports Bar. You need to temper your expectations and get a burger.


My wife is the worst about this….. Goes to the pizza place, gets the burger. Goes to the Mediterranean place, gets the chicken fingers.
