DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

by MoonRidr

NO question the WORST food I have EVER had in NOLA, or pretty much anywhere! I ordered hash and received a plateful of nondescript cubed potatoes along with sausage that tasted like it had been kept around WAY too long and some really dried out, OLD chicken. Topped off by slimy, undercooked fried eggs. I'd rather go hungry.

• Pros: ????
• Cons: Spoiled food

Crab night is Good!

by nolapearl

We've been there several times and have had varying experiences. Tuesday night all you can eat crabs and potatoes and hush puppies are good. We've done this several times, the seasoning is very good - the crabs are mostly "skinny" - I guess they get a good deal - no complaints. The place is a dump - but in a good way. Tuesday nights in crab season are usually packed and worth $10. Best meatball poboy around - so says my husband. I've only had the boiled crabs and I have no complaints. We've brought others on Tuesday nights and no complaints. I had a steak there one night and it wasn't steak night - so the steak was about $20 and was NOT a $20 steak - I said so to the waitress and they gave us a discount on the steak - which was acceptable to us.

• Pros: good value on crab night

I would rather be a prisoner of war than eat there again.

Probably the worst place to eat in New Orleans. Don't let the location on St. Charles Ave fool you, this place is a dump. My boyfriend & I had to suffer in that place last Sunday night since it was the only thing around open at 11 pm that wasn't too far. My napkin stuck to the table, only 5 other people in there with two servers yet it took 8 minutes to get a soda. The bread from the po-boy was soggy by the time it got to the table, the fries were good but greasy and don't order cheese on anything because it's poor quality shredded cheese that did not even melt when on a burger. The plus is they did have boca burgers. My boyfriend went to the bathroom which said should have been used for a horror film, on the way down the narrow path to the evil darkness which was the broken bathroom he was almost smacked in the face by someone leaving the kitchen, since the door swings out without any kind of sign warning to watch out. The bathroom was broken, seat & toilet tank were broken & for some horrible reason people instead of not using the rest room just wiped then threw it out in the trash. He came right back out and almost threw up it smelt so bad, we left right after that. The final thing happened days later after that horrible meal, we get a bank statement back only to find that what was charged was not the $25.0 with tip we left but $61.20, someone else is table. We had to call and argue to get the money they over charged us back. This place was worse then a Denny's in Trenton

• Pros: Boca Burger & the fries
• Cons: Everything & everyone else

This popular late-night hangout is decidedly low on frills, but delivers filling favorites.

The Scene
Low-key and unpretentious, the tavern is dominated by a cluster of unadorned wooden tables. Tourists, students and a varied assortment of regulars, including law-enforcement types who usually hold court near the back, jam the dining room often and at odd times.

The Food
Regular Joe staples--breakfast (try the Belgian waffle), steaks, sandwiches--are served. New Orleans' favorites include gumbo and slightly watery red beans and rice redeemed by savory smoked sausage. Fried appetizers do their job without much fanfare, though a chili starter is the flavorful exception. The Cajun grilled chicken breast arrives slightly overdone, but is still very tasty. Crawfish fettuccine and a heavily seasoned Cajun burger are also good bets. Steaks come thick and juicy, just the way they should.
