I live in the New Orleans area and have always heard people rave about Mothers. My mother was in town so I figured it would be a good place to let her eat some New Orleans food. We waited in line for twenty minutes which I did not mind waiting if we were going to get good food. Once inside I was able to order my food right away. We order our food and go to our table to wait for our order. The waiter or food runner never brought our sodas and after twenty minutes he finally brings my mothers Po Boy and fries. The fries were ice cold and the sandwich left much to be desired. After another twenty minutes my wife, son, and I still did not have our food and nobody had brought us our sodas. Three tables that came in twenty minutes after us had already gotten their food and after 45 minutes we had still not gotten our food or drinks. By this time my mother had finished half her sandwich and did not want to finish the rest because of the poor quality. I told the manager to refund the money for my wife's, son's, and my meal that we were going to leave. He told me I needed to see the owner.I talk to the owner, who never apologizes and rudely tells me that he will not refund my $42.00. After arguing with the guy for ten minutes, I finally got a refund. I waisted an hour and a half of my time and never ate any food or got a drink. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT MOTHERS!!!!!! THIS IS A TOURIST TRAP!!!!! Also the waiter looked like he had been recently released from prison, the place is dirty, and the staff is rude. Do yourself a favor and eat Cafe Maspero or get a Po Boy at one of the local shops on the North Shore or Kenner, etc....I actually think the wait is a gimmick like a club uses to bring people in . There is a door man who controls the door just like a club. I was surprised to see how many open tables there were once we were inside the place. So don't let the line fool you either!!!!
Pros: Can't say one good thing about the place.
Cons: Where do I start?
