Anyone been?

Saw on Yelp the Redfish Ryn that I might like. Don't know how as many time's I've been to Chimes, but have never noticed Willie's.

Yep. Go try it, everything I've had there has been good.

It's good but I prefer the old location on Cloverdale (now Blue Rose which is incredible).
The Redfish Ryn is very good - I've gotten it a few times. They used to have a "Mardi Gras poboy" which was delicious although I do not see it on the menu anymore. I would give Willie's a try if you have never been.

I've been a handful of times and nothing has impressed me, nothing has been bad either but with other options in the area that I enjoy more I skip over it.

I’ve been several times for lunch
Once I tried the Smokehouse sandwich I didn’t get anything else

Yep... the old location was much better. The curly fries used to be awesome. Do they still not have honey mustard? How hard is it for a restaurant to mix honey and mustard together to make their own honey mustard?

Dude yes to all of this. Getting rid of the delicious curley fries was the beginning of the end

I had the Redfish Ryn with a side of onion rings.

The RR was okay good. Didn't really wow me enough to make me want to come back for it.

I think they should add a piece of very good bread to go with it.

Restaurant appear slow for sure.

Went for the first time on Wednesday, and I was really impressed. First off, the portions are gigantic. But the food was very good.

We had the pork egg rolls, the cheesesteak poboy, and the seared yellowfin salad. All really great.

they went at least a year without having it... they used to have a honey mustard chicken sandwich... never even bothered to update the menu. I don't get that level of laziness.

I've been a few times. I'd rate is as "OK." Didn't care for their boiled crawfish - very gritty and dirty.

Some things aren't very good, as someone just posted, their boiled crawfish are gross and the BBQ shrimp have way too much L&P. But overall, most of the menu is pretty good.
