Okay but the chargrilled oysters at The Chimes?? Yeah... they ate DOWN ‍…read more They came out hot, buttery, and loaded with that garlicky goodness. The cheese was melted perfectly on top and the oysters themselves were super fresh -- not fishy at all. I was literally scraping the plate for the extra sauce because it was THAT good. Service was quick and the vibe was chill, which made the whole experience even better. If you go to The Chimes and don't order the chargrilled oysters... what are you even doing?? Definitely coming back for another round.

The taste was still good! I ordered the seafood pasta too but wasn't fond of the fishy smell and taste. The sauce was thin and runny as well. The little French bread that comes with the meal is delicious and I'm not a bread eater! The packaging and service is very safe and clean! Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

We just wanted a late night spot for greasy food and chill vibes but unfortunately the service at…read morethis location was less than desirable. It took the waitress five minutes just to get to our table and another ten minutes to place the order. When the food did arrive, she initially forgot to give us utensils and by the end of the meal, wasted no time in handing us the check without bothering to ask us if we wanted anything else. At first I thought she was just having an off day, but when her friends came in, she made sure to immediately place an order for them. It also should be noted that the seats are low and uncomfortable so I don't recommend dining here if you are wheelchair-bound. All that said, the food at Fat Pat's was exceptional --from the well-seasoned crispy onion rings to the homemade queso dip. I also really loved the loaded nachos as it was laced with savory hamburger meat and not the grainy taco meat that usually ruins a proper nacho dish. The fried pickles and boneless wings were also well-done and exactly what you would expect from a greasy spoon. I was expecting more of a restaurant and less of a bar but this particular location is essentially a bar that serves decent food. 5/10 decent quality food but I probably wouldn't return!

It's a very social vibe, much better for friend/family gatherings than intimate dates. The service was good. Our server was thorough, answered questions, and was prompt. The food was fresh and good. I ordered the Zydeco salad. I feel that all the ingredients weren't necessarily there, like the candied pecans and bell peppers. Everything else seemed present, and the pepperjelly sauce was yummy, although I do feel like it's missing a separate dressing. I don't think the pepperjelly ties it all together as the sole dressing. My brother and his girlfriend ordered voodoo shrimp and grits as well as the Louisiana platter. I took a couple bites of theirs, and it was delicious! Everything was fresh and the perfect texture, nothing fried too hard! The zydeco voodoo shrimp and grits could definitely be plated better or have some kind of garnish, but the taste was good! I found the prices to be reasonable as well!

Responding to Chelsa K.'s 1* review. As I am someone who was in the restaurant when it happened…read more I just think it's funny how you aren't mentioning y'all came in as 6 people and then wanted accommodations for 30 people during one of the busiest times of the night. Or that they argued with the amazing manager for nearly an hour total after being told they couldn't accommodate that size party. They're also leaving out the part where people from their group marched in and seated themselves, stood over occupied tables waiting for guests to leave, insisting the hosts clean the tables, and made the entire restaurant uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with behavior. Any group acting like that would've gotten the exact same response. In short, do better. Y'all came in and ruined everyone's dinner because y'all don't know how to plan ahead. Stop blaming people for your mistakes and take accountability.

Of all the places to come to for Mardi Gras, I picked this place…read more When I was in college, this was THE place to be. Great music, good greasy food and a fun atmosphere. 30 years later, I felt like I had entered a nightmare...minus my teeth falling out. First of all, there was a line to get in. It WAS Mardi-Gras, after all. But, there were only 6 or 7 people ahead of me. They were only letting people in as people were leaving and from what I could hear of the door man's conversation, the rest room was to the right. Literally everyone in front of me lined up only to use the bathroom. It's true! I saw the same people coming back out that had already been let in. Holy crap, Batman! I might be in the wrong line! So I finally asked the doorman if I was in the correct line but he was so robotic and only asked me for my id then there was a girl who unhooked a rope at the door opening. I went inside. I was so shocked to find virtually no one in the place. Okay...there were maybe 10 people sitting at the bar and dining tables COMBINED. in addition. I could only see two people behind the bar and I had previously noticed the outside walk up window had been painted shut years before. I got the courage to ask one of the patrons drinking a daiquiri(?) from a pitcher sized pail. He looked back at me and said they had had a visit from the fire department and were told the had to curb their customers from going inside because of the lack of bar tenders and waitstaff. So they stopped cooking food and were only serving mostly melted drinks because of the lack of help. Oh. I completely forgot the lack of AC that night!
