Big Easy Saloon

I've been to Big Easy several times for lunch and once for dinner. I've never been impressed with the lunches (crab cake sandwich and Caesar shrimp wrap), but I was hoping the dinner entrees would have more to offer. My husband ordered a special--a plate of brisket, ribs, and sausage. The ribs were too sweet, the meat was fatty, and the sausage was cold, despite being served on a burning hot plate. I ordered the southern fired chicken with cheddar mashed potatoes and andouille gravy. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It ended up being a chicken patty--not what I was expecting for southern fried chicken. The mashed potatoes tasted an awful lot like instant, and the gravy was bland. Overall, eh. I wouldn't go back unless someone else was treating. Oh, and the waitress never brought more

My neighbor had suggested we try The Big Easy, which once used to be an Italian restaurant. He said the food was good and the prices were reasonable. He was right. It is a great place.\r The food is in the New Orleans Cajun theme, but they have a lot of variety. The Crab Cakes were some of the best I have ever eaten and the Caesar salad is phenomenal. The staff is very accomodating and friendly. You feel like you're in New Orleans because of the hospitality.\r As a bonus, they have live music playing every night. Great stuff. I can't wait to go back! Pros: Live music, eclectic paltes and glasses Cons: A bit loud at times more
