I am giving this place a bad review because the hours say they are open until 10. Which is what the website says. The website DOES NOT say that they close the kitchen at 8:30 making my arrival at 8:50 futile. Only the bar remains open until ten. By the way, except for one table the place was completely empty. Obviously, I don't have any comments on the food because I couldn't order any. read more

Don't waste your time. We arrived around 6 pm for dinner. In my opinion this is the prime time at a restaurant. We were the only table there! We decided to order fried pickles as an appetizer. They were out of pickles! How can this be? You're in the same parking lot as Winn-Dixie! Walk next door and buy a jar of pickles! My wife ordered a Roast Beef po-boy. She took one bite and almost threw up. The meat was tainted! I tried a bite and it was disgusting. I ordered fried catfish. The filets were 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. I've never seen such a huge filet! They were fried until dark, but otherwise weren't too bad. I was finished with my plate before the waitress ever came back to check on us. My wife had 2 bites out of her po-boy. They took her sandwich off the ticket (which we didn't request.) All in all it was a bad experience. Luckily we had purchased a Groupon to this place so we weren't out much money. We were there for about 45 minutes and only 1 other table came in. The waitress was friendly, but seemed to forget us a lot. I guess when you're never busy it's hard to remember when someone actually comes in. We won't be back. That's very unfortunate considering we live 2 miles away! read more

first visit we were the only table and the service was slow but friendly. the food was good. based on this i planned a business luncheon, 3 people. we ordered 3 gumbos 2 salads and a crabcakes. we were servered our drinks immediately. an hour and 15 minutes later and after 3 promises our order was almost ready we walked out, leaving payment for the tea. the staff did not inquire as to why we were leaving. apparently there is no management or ownership present during lunch. looks like it would be a good sports bar but not for fine dining of up-scale lunches. i may try again in a few weeks but i'm not in a hurry or very optimistic. the staff was friendly, scarce and very apologetic. i feel the problem is in the kitchen. read more

In an experience that mimics my previous review, but this time with the eye rolling Dymond S. who would not utter a word to me despite my attempt at pleasantries - yet she would stop the transaction to say hello and see how someone (who was obviously a friend) was doing whilst the friend was walking out the door. Then immediately back to ignoring me. She then proceeded to throw my Veuve Clicquot into the same bag as the Tiger Sauce - with nothing but a small paper bag to contain the shards should they have busted against one another. And then without a word or even eye contact, held my receipt out for me to take. What is wrong with this location that their cashiers can't just be decent human beings and employ basic kindness to customers? We're not asking for a parade or to be fawned over, a simple response to a kind hello would suffice. But you choose to be nasty, without provocation, and I just cannot understand why.

I recently started stopping by here often, once I found it! This is another one of the "hidden in a…read morestrip mall" businesses. Native North Shore folks might disagree on that point, I'm not sure. Being a native New Orleanian from Orleans parish & spending almost my entire life in New Orleans (Orleans parish proper) strip malls are a foreign concept.( At least the very large strip malls are. ) Metairie, jefferson, Kenner & the West Bank areas all have some larger strip malls. In uptown New Orleans the closest thing to a strip mall was Riverbend restaurant(1974-1987) (which became an Eckerd's then a Walgreens), Gennaro's Cleaners(before it became Gennaro Luke & Son) & Hibernia bank on Carrollton ave. In any case, I really do feel like driving into (hidden from view/ no signage on the street) strip malls is fun! You never know what little gem you might find. I discovered the North Shore Mandina's this way! What was I talking about? AAH yes, the whole reason I'm typing: Back to reviewing a liquor & smokes store: Town Crier on Hwy. 22 in the strip mall where Walgreen's & Rouse's are located. I like this place for the following reasons: - Ample parking in front - great if your in a hurry & just need a bottle of wine &/or alcohol - Competitive prices - Staff at all locations I've stopped in have been friendly ( hwy 59/ 190 by little Wal-Mart This is what it is.

All of the selections are sealed, not damaged, and brand new. They offer wine, liquor, beer, and mixers. You never know what you are going to find because they never know what is coming in. Wine is offered by the bottle or case. You cannot beat the prices. Most bottles of wine are between $3 to $10. I have found some gems in the rough here but most selections are average. This is a great place to go if you are stocking up for a party. Cheers!

I had been in a parmigiana mood for a few weeks and went with their veal version.... My wife LOVED her steak, she had a stuffed baked potato along with it and I didn't get to taste it but it looked very well put together. My Veal was lukewarm and in pieces - battered, pan-fried, and perched up on the overcooked capellini and drowned in a tasteless (Sysco?) marinara with unremarkable semi-molten mozzarella. Our waitress did her job, but not much beyond it. The ambiance was very nice - I have always loved the low light/dark wood of this place. 6.4/10
