Although the food is still pretty good, the service had gone from bad to worst. When we arrived, about 5 employees were by the hostess area. No one greeted until I said hello. We were seated and a server came to get our drink order. A couple minutes later, another server came to ask for our drink order again. We mentioned that someone else took our drink order but we were told that the 1st person was not our server. For starters, my husband wanted a side garden salad with extra dressing and I wanted a "cup" of soup. When the salad came there was only 1 dressing and the soup was a "bowl". I asked the server if that was a cup, she responded: "no, you ordered a bowl". I didn't argue and just accepted the bowl since I liked that soup anyway. When the server brought our dinner, I asked for some lemons and when my server came back she brought us thin slices of lemons, the ones you put in your iced tea. Again, didn't make a big deal; I squeezed those thin lemons over my shrimp. After dinner, she handed us our bill. There were additional charges for the dirty rice and vegetables. We called our server over to ask her about those extra charges and she told us that they were for the dirty rice and vegetables. So I was explaining to her that those sides came with the meal, so why should we be charged extra for them. She called another server. I was explaining to the other server what I ordered when our server gestures her hand in front of me and cuts me off while I was talking. Wow, bad service is one thing but that was another. The other server apologized for the mistakes and apologized for our server; he said that she just got back, relearning everything and was a bit overhelmed. The manager came afterwards to apologize and she offered to take care of our dinner but that doesn't take away the bad experience we had. We can pay for our own meal; they need to fix the service.

My wife doesn't like spicy food, and this cajun place does not overdo it on the spices. Instead, the chefs let the richness of the flavor "do the talking" instead of overwhelming your taste buds with spices. My wife and I love seafood. When it's done right, it can be a great dining experience. But when it's done wrong, nothing can be worse. We've eaten at this place many times and we have NEVER been disappointed (and I will state that I do not know the owner or chef). We love a good seafood bisque. That is so hard to do that if a chef can get it right, then you know everthing else will be just fine. The crab and corn bisque here isn't just good, it is superb! Get a bowl and add the rice, and you've got a meal right there. The bisque is loaded with crab and has a rich, creamy flavor and always comes to the table hot. We've gotten the seafood pasta several times as well as the fried catfish and fried shrimp. The pasta is rich and loaded with shrimp. The shrimp are usually large to jumbo size. The portion is plenty to share. We usually have to add a little salt to bring out the flavor, but we prefer doing that ourselves to suit our own tastes rather than having the chef do that for us. The catfish and shrimp are corn-meal breaded (the only way to do it) and are fried to a light golden brown. Sometimes, the shrimp are large enough that they have to be butterflied. They have never been over cooked and always come out piping hot. They too have excellent flavor. The bar has a Texas Twist Margarita that is one of the best (strawberry and lime mixed and can be served frozen). You get your money's worth even with that as it arrives filled to the brim. You can also get a white zinfandel from Barefoot winery that is hard to find anyplace else. The decor is good - a little on the cheesy side with the fake crumbling plaster look. The music is appropriate New Orleans jazz and not too soft or too loud. The prices are very reasonable and the staff has always been very attentive and friendly. The only thing I wish they had was a non-smoking bar.

The food has always been really tasty and delicious, but unfortunately for me, very unhealthy! I would like to point out to restaurant managers and chefs everywhere: you DO NOT have to cook everything in tons of butter and grease to make it taste good! Likewise, you do not have to add loads of salt to a dish - leave that to the discretion and taste of the diner, who can use the salt shaker on the table. I ordered a catch special which was a redfish topped with a lemon caper sauce - scrumptious. But I could barely eat the side orders of sauteed vegetables which were way too salty, and the seasoned potatoes which were swimming in grease. Another comment - the specials and some items on the menu did not have prices. It's as if "if you have to ask, you can't afford it", and I don't like feeling that way in a restaurant. All items should show the price so customers don't have to ask. Thanks for letting me rant & rave!

The waiter was unattentive and rude. When we asked for a split bill he smirked as if to say "yeah, right"...then had to get the manager to help him with the split. She acted as if it was an inconveniece (when we were among about 4 other tables in the whole place). We went there because I had been on a Friday night the week before for happy hour with friends. The food and drinks were good and the bartender split our bills before we even asked. I figured since I had such great service on that Friday during lunchtime would be the same. Most places say "Have a nice day" or "Please come back" when you walk out...we received the silent treatment. We were all very nice and even went to the trouble of splitting the amounts ourselves. Take my advice and go elsewhere if you want to be treated as a valued customer!!!

I am from Southwest Louisiana and this place is the closest it gets to tasting like home. Incredible food, excellent service! You never leave hungry - just happy! Being at French Quarter is like being back at home (Lafayette or New Iberia)!!

Dirty rice, gumbo, and gator tails were excellent. Friends said red beans and rice were very good. As mentioned previously we had Carl for our waiter and he was great. We are a tough table - substitutions and several to-go orders. They never missed a beat. Overall service was very good. The staff worked well together rather than just caring about only their tables and it made a big difference. I think I like this place better than P*appadeaux, will definitely be trying a few more times.

We recommended this place many times; took friends and out of town families there-spoke very highly of the place and Reagan was the best server. It was our favorite place to eat at however, to our disappointment, the store closed last month. Since we like French Quarter we decided to try the store on Hwy 6. It was not a pleasant experience. We walked in at around 9:20 and the hostess barely acknowledged us; she was wiping some boosters down. She looked very unhappy and not very friendly. I asked for a booth and the hostess told us that they didn't have any; she didn't bother to ask if we wanted to wait for one, she took a couple of menus and proceeded to walk towards a table. She flopped the menus and walked away. Most places you go to, the hostess would at least say "enjoy your meal", "can I get you a drink" or "your server will be right with you". We were so upset, we just walked out. I called and spoke with the manager Stacy, she apologized but it's too late. We are never going back.

I had red beans and rice for an appetizer, it was delicious! The food comes in such large portions but also very well prepared. Our waiter Kevin was sharp and attentive to make sure our drinks stayed full. We had a fantistic time and I will surely go back.

The service is excellent especially Reagan and Brad. The food is wonderful was well. The portions are great and the taste is mouth watering. The ambiance is very relaxing and laid back. My husband is a restaurant manager so he is very particular with service and taste of food but he enjoys eating at French Quarter. We just wish that they are open on Sundays!

We were seated promptly and got our drinks quickly. After that the waiter would not come to our table to take our order. I waved at him a couple of times and he did not come to our table. On our way out, I was telling the hostess what happened and she shrugged her shoulders and did not say anything. This is the first and last time I visit this restaurant.

Was very knowledgeable on the offerings and specials. We ordered the night's special, mahi mahi, and a chef feature, blackened shrimp. Food was well prepared and very good. Portions were more than enough, and I'm a big guy. Atmosphere was nice, place was busy - but not overly so. All tables I could see seemed to get the same quality service that we did. We'll definitely go back!!! NAME: Dave SUBMITTED: 6/11/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 6/2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once 12266 FM 1960 Rd W, Houston, Texas    MY REVIEW: I was in the mood for some seafood and a little bit of the cajun stuff so my boyfriend and I decided to come here to see what they offered. We lived close by and some friends had recommended it, so we thought we would try it out. To our dissapointment the staff was not very happy and the seafood gumbo could of been better. The crawfish did not seem fresh but I guess this could be a result of the restaurant using frozen "crawl dads". But overall the restaurant gave huge portions enough to feed a whole village, and we would probably come back to see if the service has changed. I ordered one of the "Chief specials" so my food was better than what my boyfriend had ordered, but in the end everyone deserves a second chance and after that if the service sucks don't come back.

The food was much smaller and the service has completely gone south. It's a shame - they need better help - too much socializing going on here between the staff and not enough attention to the customers. My pet peeve - salad was served and not 3 minutes later the entree...and of course - waiting on the bill was forever. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Called back within five minutes to request an order "to go" and the woman who answered the phone screamed "No!" and hung up on me. Rude!!! I've written this place off. Customer service totally sucks and outweighs the decent food. I certainly will spend my money elsewhere if shrugged off!

And the seafood filet is excellent for it's price. Most importantly the service is fast and friendly. Every time we go we have a delightful experience. Would suggest everyone to try at least once.

The food is great (during crawfish season you'll find me there quite often). I have never had anything I didn't like and they go out of their way to make me feel at home and to change the way they cook something so I can eat it.

I was SO mad when spending $30 for lunch, getting home with it and realizing the food containers were half full! If you are paying $6 for gumbo, I would think you would get a full container. The same thing with the red beans and rice. It was a small container to begin with. I did call the restaurant, the manager got on the phone, when I told her the problem she said please hold and stuck the cook on the phone. I could not believe it! I will NEVER make the mistake of ordering from this location again. The Hwy 6 location is much better.

There's too many places to go in this price range - not this place for my family again.
