Industry Grill in Prairieville

They are

are they even open? seems like they've been working on the place for years. been having "now hiring" sign for months.

ETA: it's in a building that used to be a Chinese restaurant next to Tire Engineers.

ETA:ETA: Looks like grand opening was Monday 11/13.

Pics look good.

I hope they stay open longer than it took to remodel. I can't tell if they have any prior restaurant experience based on the names I found associated with it. Building needed major exterior renovations. Slapping new paint on that ugly box isn't helping the curb appeal.

Gumbo has a film on it and all the microgreens are wilted. Not the prettiest pictures. Pork chop looks good.

They have a lot to overcome being in the same building that was Die-Nasty. Menu looks about the same as Sammy's, On the Half Shell, Dempsey's, etc.

Passed this place the other day and the parking lot was packed. Of course that's usually the case with a new place.

Took some clients for lunch this week. Bambi bites and pesto cauliflower apps were delicious, although very tiny portions.

I had a cup of chicken/sausage gumbo and it was really good. It's a thicker gumbo which I prefer.

For my entree I had the grilled pork chop with creamed spinach and it was a winner. Everyone else was happy with their food as well.

I'll be back to bring clients there for sure, but they need to up the portion sizes on the apps. The Bambi bites were very good, but basically an amuse bouche

well, this place was a disappointment.

Blackened catfish was okay but,

Mushy frozen crab cakes with almost zero detectable crab meat.

Tomatoey gumbo

bland flavorless etouffee


Service was horrible

only half of the tables in the front dining area were occupied yet, still took 15 minutes to seat a table of 4 because the 2 young women working up front were busy with their own conversation and barely even acknowledged us.

Server brought gumbo with no spoon, had to ask twice before actually getting one.

Drinks with no straws, again had to ask for them.

They seem to be going for some type of hybrid grill/sports bar kind of place. Huge bar with 8 or so tvs takes up most of the front dining area.yet, not a single bar stool was occupied.

Overheard a guy i am assuming was the owner describing to friends how nasty the last owners left the place. Saying that's why it took so long to open.
