Leroy's Kitchen review

Get the 3 piece meal w/ cornbread and sweet potato bread pudding side.

I'll buy it for you if you don't agree.

Seriously - lsumba_phd@att.net

Are you serious?? I thought their chicken was on the level of Golden Corral. Nowhere near the level of Delpit's or Jacque-Imo's. Only thing I really cared for was the sweet potato bread pudding.

I've only heard bad things about this place! They use gravy out of a can! Everyone I know who has been have said they won't be back.......

they were almost TOO big, and didn't pair well with the ranch.

I honestly don't understand these Yelpers or Urbanspooners who post a review on everything. He reviews Domino's, GOlden Corral, Hibachi joints. Breaking down the intricacies of crust to cheese on a cheese stick and discussing it's pairing ability with ranch. Dude, it's a cheese stick and ranch. I just don't understand the gratification a "discriminating palate" gets in blogging about such things.

It's reasons like that I take most reviews on those sites with a grain of salt.

I've had the chicken twice. It's as good as Frikkin Chicken and Delpits. I've had nothing else.

And Jacque Imos chicken was only good when Austin Leslie was there fifteen years ago. It's not a top five in New Orleans by any stretch and ole Leroy is much better as is Delpits.

All I'm gonna say is that if you don't like my reviews, then don't read 'em.

Sorry, but I thought Leroy's sucked, plain and simple. My wife and son agreed.

No way would I put it on the same level as Delpit's (Chicken Shack). Delpit's is made fresh when you order; this stuff tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. It was bland and not seasoned well. The meat was dry, as was the cornbread. It simply was not good. I'd put it on the same level as Church's, and that's being very generous.

As for the cheesesticks, if the waitress tells me that she recommends them, I expect them to be good. They weren't. They didn't taste go well with ranch and would have been better with marinara, which they didn't have.

You don't have to agree with me, but apparently some others in this thread felt the same way. So deal with it.

All I gotta say is, if a restaurant review really upsets you that much, I really feel bad for you.

Many here are very easily upset. I wouldn't sweat it. Just keep bringing the honest reviews. They're refreshing, and I'd say pretty well thought out, and although I may not agree with every single thing, I do appreciate you putting thought and reason into what you critiqued. Most don't elaborate because I don't think they know what to look for or should be looking for, or even that there is something they should be looking for in order to be descriptive in a quality review of a restaurant or dish, except for service. That's certainly not everyone, but enough to make it juvenile at times.
