Went down again this past Saturday and my experience was much different than before. Our server informed us that they were very short staffed that evening. It took 45 minutes to get seated, 15 minutes to get our order in, half an hour to get our appetizers and another 40 minutes to get our entrees. Our waiter apologized saying their level of service is never like that, and ended up comping our entire meal and dessert (although I never openly complained). The experience left a sour taste in my mouth, but I think I will return since I've never had a bad experience previously, and if this did happen often at the restaurant, I doubt they would comp our meal.

Started off with beignets and crawfish gravy and hush puppies. The beignets really are a great appetizer, and the gravy makes everything taste better. I tried the deep fried beef brisket po'boy in brown gravy. It came out very dry and seemed like a lackluster effort, with just shredded brisket in bread (nothing else inside), then lightly deep fried, and a weak gravy on top. My girlfriend had the crawfish etoufee, and as always it was fantastic. Ended with a sweet potato pecan pie and its one of the best desserts they have.
