Their chicken fingers are the best I've ever had.

Very curious to me.
What kind of a psychopath orders a Bloody Mary at dinner?
Also, Houston’s makes its Bloody Mary mix from scratch. it’s likely that they didn’t have any on hand since it wasn’t a brunch or lunch shift.

They have a cocktail that they call the Kickstart. It's their version and it's served up. It's probably the most comped item they have. Even the servers will try and steer you away from ordering it.

Did you have the French Dip?
This thread inspired me to go there yesterday for lunch. Probably at least 20 years since I’ve been there. French dip was fantastic. Service/atmosphere were great as well. Chain or not, that place is consistently good.

I had dinner there tonight and when asked for my drink order I requested a Bloody Mary. The waitress said they do not serve Bloody Mary’s. I asked if it they were out of mix and she emphasized that they don’t serve them at all and it was restaurant policy. I asked why she said she did not know. Very curious to me. Anyone have any ideas why?
You could have started by looking at their menu which indicates they do not serve a Bloody Mary: LINK
Looking at their cocktail list indicates that Houston’s may not be the kind of restaurant that relies on mixers. You want ZingZang, go buy it. You can’t even order a Coors or Bud Light there.

Also they have a no cash policy. I had to go to my vehicle and get my wallet
Must be a problem with their staff “misplacing” cash. New Orleans…whoduhthunkit?
You bring your cash in, but leave your credit cards in your car … in a parking lot … in New Orleans…off St Charles?
Dude, start leaving a bottle of ZingZang in your car instead. Problem solved.

It's easy to shite on this restaurant for some reason, but I've been there many times and have always had quality food.
The French Dip is outstanding, among other things. The food is always consistent.
Just because its not a hipster joint run by a dude with shaggy hair and a porn stache, NOLA food snobs will shite on it.

I don't know, I grew up in NOLA and no one ever shite on Houston's when I was there.

It’s a pretty specific drink. If they don’t have tomato juice or some kind of mix they don’t have it.

Most places with full bars don't ONLY serve the specific drinks they list on the menu.
A bloody mary is not necessarily dependent on having a "mixer." It would seem it's not hard to keep a few little cans of tomato or V8 juice behind the bar (they probably last forever) and mix up one with other ingredients typically at hand for the rare bird that comes to Houstons and wants a bloody mary.
I also agree that it's not something I would see as a "deal killer" either, if they told me they didn't have the available ingredients. It's just a bit odd to me.
On second glance, I see they have one on their menu with a note of "weekends only," which makes the whole deal even odder that they wouldn't be able to accommodate a customer wanting one during the week.
