HORRIBLE FOOD -- READ THIS!!!

by mwatson1

I HAD TO SIGN UP FOR CITY SEARCH JUST SO I COULD WRITE A REVIEW WHICH I HAVE NEVER DONE... THIS IS HOW COMPELLED I AM TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW CRAPPY THE FOOD IS HERE. I HAD THE BEEF SANDWICH -- WORST THING I HAVE EVER HAD,,, THE BEEF WAS SO DRY I COULDNT EAT IT -- WAS LIKE DRY POTROAST. ALSO HAD THE JALAPENO FRIED APPETIZER -- THEY SERVED IT WITH RANCH MADE FROM SAMS OR COSTCO -- TOTALLLY UNACEPPTABLE. THE WAITRESS WAS RUDE AS WELL. GREAT LOCATION AND INVITING ATMOSPHERE WHICH IS A SHAME.

THEY NEED TO TOTALLY RE-WORK THE MENUE AND FIRE THE COOK IN CHARGE OF THAT JUNK.

• Pros: LOCATION
• Cons: FOOD

Not the laidback Cajun place we were looking for

by tcatwoman

Coming from Houston, I guess we are spoiled because we're used to fresh, tasty cajun food in a relaxed, hole in the wall atmosphtere. That is what we were looking for when we saw Shoal Creek Saloon. This was defintely a hole in the wall atmosphere, but neither the staff nor the customers seemed to be kicked back or jovial, not to mention it was not very family friendly. Very few people in the place seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food tasted OK, but the portions for the price were quite small. We might have enjoyed ourselves more on the deck outside, but it was quite crowded, and unlike the Rajun Cajun where you have long tables with multiple groups sharing a table, you had one individual taking up a whole table and not sharing while other people are waiting to sit. Just not a fun place at all. Also, parking is a challenge. We definitely won't be back.

• Pros: Authentic cajun food, hole in the wall
• Cons: Uptight, small portions for price, not family friendly

Great place to catch an LSU game but food is just ok

by shaft28

Took 3 Cajun's to catch a game recently and got there plenty early so we could get a spot. Nice staff, very helpful and quick to take care of you - but the food was just so so. Might be authentic Cajun recipies but the overall quality just ok. We were not wowed by the gumbo, etouffee or po' boys - nothing to write home about (at all) but we wished they were better!

We'll go back but stick to beers and fries.
