The closest competition is the Bulldog... so if you really want bar food...

bar food = finger foods and burgers/ sandwiches.

Yeah. What you would get at the Bulldog.

The Chimes isn't bar food. Anyone who says so is a moron.

It's sad the dining public in BR allows even it's supposedly "fine" restaurants to be so damn lazy.

There's literally no excuse for a restaurant located anywhere in S. La. to not be able to procure good fresh gulf seafood on a daily basis. None whatsoever.

agreed. That's my problem with LL. Still go there frequently. LL is trying to price itself and sell itself for more than what it is. It's not fine dining. But it's started to price itself like it is.

And that's actually my problem with the rest of the "fine dining" restaurants that toot their own horn around town. Most of them are overpriced and most of them aren't that good.

Juban's was too rich and too salty.
Mansur's was okay but way too expensive.
Ruth's is just steaks, and the restaurant is getting old and feels a little business class.
Fleming's is paying out the nose for atmosphere, and the asian inspired dishes suck.

So that's kind of my frick you to the BR scene. Maybe the chimes is the best in town. It doesn't make pretention or presumption.
It always tastes the same. It always taste good. And I always have a good meal and good time when I go there.

When we get a real fine dining place in town maybe I'll like it.

actually, the bulldog's fare is above that of bar food, imo ..

I've only been to the one in NOLA. and it wasn't to eat.
I'm not opposed to going, just haven't ventured out that way yet.

yeah, calling the chimes bar food is like calling LSU football "something to do on saturday night" around here ... if you want to see what "bar food" is .. go to places like the end zone, ivar's, fred's, etc. ..

the end zone, ivar's, fred's, the caterie,

EGG ZACHARY.

and jeez, the second thing- calling it overpriced? What the frick?
I don't know many places serving non-ethnic fare that you can eat cheaper than the chimes.

even when i consume large quantities of beer, i have never had a complaint with the size of my tab relative to what i got at the chimes ..

quote:

the bulldog does what they cook really well and mainly based on taste i consider it above bar food ..

---

I've only eaten there once, and had a burger and fries. It was pretty damn good. I'd say it was better than George's and their 'best burger in BR' for sure.

So it was GOOD bar food... but still in essence, it was bar food.

---

but they do have some other stuff that is above the typical bar food.

---

yeah, this is what i am saying, this along with the actual quality of the food .. i'll just say i have always been pleased with the food i get there when i do eat ..

oh, the burger blows george's out of the water by a long shot ... then again, i can think of about 10 places that does that ... the george's "best burger" and "best po-boy" awards were in the top five of most laughable ... shite, how the hamburger at tramonte's on jefferson slipped through the cracks amazes me too ..
