Pleasant surprise - My manager came into town to do some work and asked if I wanted to grab dinner…read more He said he wanted a good steak and I heard Gallagher's was a solid meal. So we popped in last night about 7 and we were slightly underdressed but the staff didn't seem to mind. We ordered some drinks and they were quick to the table. We pondered over the menu but there was a chef's special with a soup, entree, and dessert. We both went with the seafood gumbo, the beef tenderloin, and small dessert (something à la mode). Everything including the side salad we ordered extra was delicious. Really great atmosphere, service, and food. I would absolutely recommend.

MAY 2026 Anniversary Vacation Part 4A: NOLA Southern Grill…read morein Slidell, LA. We were in Oyster Heaven last night at NOLA Southern Grill. It's a Hidden Gem nestled in Slidell, LA. We like to sit at the bar in restaurants and chat with people. Last night, we enjoyed chatting with the bartender Carol and her friend who is another local. I started off with a killer dirty martini! Carol knows how to make a good one! She, the cooks and entire staff are so appreciated! They were a lot of fun. Carol was so nice, very attentive and saw to every need of her customers. They offer Happy Hour 3-6:00 which included OYSTERS, raw or chargrilled! So I had both...raw and chargrilled. Terry stuck with the grilled. The raw oysters were amazing! Plumper, meatier, creamy and mild and less briny than East Coast NC and VA oysters. These are the kind of oysters you also want to fry! They were so perfect and so delicious! Next came out the Chargrilled Oysters...drenched and grilled with a melted Parmesan, Garlic, Herb Butter Sauce and served with slices of warm, garlic French bread to sop up the hot butter sauce that pooled at the bottom of the tray. Oh my oh my oh my! Shut the front door OUTSTANDING! Terry and I relished every single bite, I may have been moaning as I kept saying how delicious they were. Perfection on an oyster shell. We shared 2 doz chargrilled plus I had a doz raw with cocktail sauce and freshly grated horseradish. I seriously think I could have had more oysters! Terry also ordered their fried mushrooms, best we ever had! We ate like Kings and Queens. Dragos is on our list to go to but if we don't make it there this time, I'm so happy with NOLA Southern Grill's chargrilled oysters, I'm good, I don't need to go. I would like to compare the chargrilled oysters though, we shall see. But in the meantime....move over Dragos! NOLA Southern Grill has entered the building! Let's what we can get into trouble with later today in NOLA. I have my list!

Highly Recommend Bridget and Her Amazing Soups at the Wine Market!…read more If you haven't been to the Wine Market yet, do yourself a favor and go -- and when you do, make sure to see Bridget! She is not only welcoming and knowledgeable but the food she serves, especially the soups, is next-level delicious. Every single soup I've tried has been a hit -- absolutely flavorful and comforting, with the crawfish pepper jack being a standout favorite. It's rich, perfectly spiced, and completely addictive. The chef at this location is clearly talented -- the steaks are amazing, and I honestly don't think I've had a single item I didn't love. Whether it's red beans, fish specials, or her daily creations, everything has been consistently delicious. Bottom line: don't sleep on Bridget's soups. Go often, try the specials, and let her take care of you -- you won't regret it!

Sat at the bar and the bartenders were quite friendly and knowledgeable. Appetizers and flatbreads were perfect. And the wine choices complemented the meal. Talked to the owner and enjoyed hearing the history of the restaurant. Needless to say, we will be stopping again on the return trip to Florida. Definitely try it out.

Trivia nights on Tuesday!…read more What a cool event, especially with the company of very long-time friends. We didn't win, but we felt pretty good about our effort. :D FYI, Mrs. Silence Dogood is a pseudonym of Mr. Benjamin Franklin himself. Oh yeah, the bar - great beer on tap, some of the best bartenders around, and absolutely wonderful pub food. It's been a while since I've ordered it here, but I still have fond memories of the wings and burgers from previous visits. Judging by the number of repeat customers with food on their tables this past Tuesday, I'd say nothing's changed. If you're coming at me on trivia night, bring your best game - I'm reading books on the outside just to keep up. (who remembers that line, 5 points if you guess the movie and the actor who said it) Come catch up with us at the Tap Room, or be sad you missed out...it's your choice!

Although the scenery is breathtaking, the actual dining experience at Phil's Marina Cafe leaves…read moremuch to be desired. We had to wait over 30 minutes for a table and another 20 minutes just to be served food. This place seems to be really popular among the locals but I was so unimpressed with the taste and portion sizes of the meals. I ordered the fried snapper as my entree but the sides were bigger than the main dish. Thankfully, one of those sides was the mac-and-cheese--a creamy and delicious bowl of goodness topped with that extra layer of golden brown cheese. The gouda grits was a close second with its buttery and simple execution of a classic Southern staple. But the actual fish itself was dry and unseasoned, and had to be aided by the accompanying tartar sauce. Not bad but not too good either and for the price point, I could probably just fry up my own fish at home!

Not sure what I was expecting to find, but I was pleasantly surprised and I had a nice time. I have…read morelived in Slidell for years and never managed to eat here until recently. It is tucked into a little strip shopping center with a Pizza Hut and a Jujitsu school. The parking lot is very dark and there is no signage out by the road so it's difficult to see until you are right on top of it. I was watching for it and still missed the first parking lot entrance in the dark and almost went into the ditch. Crisis averted. I made it OK. Inside, the restaurant was spacious and open and it felt a lot bigger than it is. It was not busy, so there was no wait for a table. Wood paneling on the walls, county music playing, it was comfortable inside. The servers were friendly and took my order right away. My food came out quickly and everything was correct. I had an oyster po-boy and it was as good as any I have had around here. It was a little pricey for what I got, but it wasn't overpriced either. The price of oysters fluctuates wildly, so there's no way to really know the price ahead of time unless you call. They had a number of daily specials advertised on various boards around the restaurant. I need to go back sometime to try some of those. Overall, no complaints. Food was good, the place was comfortable, the servers were friendly. Highly recommended. Solid four stars.

We were there in May for a celebration of several birthdays that had taken place in the past months. Over 50 people were seated at tables joined together, spanning the length of the restaurant and there were other people seated in the booths and surrounding tables and they still had room for walk-ins. The staff was unbelievable. They were tremendously patient and very efficient. The food was outstanding, especially the pasta and seafood dishes. This place is always a favorite. And we look forward to celebrating the next batch of family birthdays soon.
