Bartender Adam was friendly, excellent service & food was delish! Two cocktails, Wedge Salad, NY Strip (medium well), Baked Potato & Sautéed mushrooms = $91, we shared. I eat small portions so we share most meals, but this was enough for two full entrees! The sweet candied bacon & creamy chunky blue cheese dressing on the fresh crispy Wedge blended perfectly. I added slices of the NY Strip & I'd say it would be my absolute favorite salad ever, minus the grease from the steak. The NY Strip & mushrooms were cooked accordingly & full of flavor. Huge baked potato as well. However, it was all greasy. Dessert menu looked delicious & included Creme Brulee, but we were too full. We saved our appetite all day for this wonderful steak dinner, but afterwards & the next day, we were both sick to our stomach. If it was just my stomach that didn't agree, it would be different, but it was both of us. Either it was the blue cheese dressing, which tasted fine or the grease. I am disappointed to leave 3 stars, because of how shockingly surprised everything was versus the reviews. read more

Pricing is on the high end for the area but they did have several delicious options. My fiancé and I dined here for Valentine's Day dinner. We made reservations and showed up early but they were able to get us right in. We had an awesome server, Olivia. The bread and butter was fresh and delicious. We ordered the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. The shrimp was a little tough but the sauces were tasty. I ordered the French onion soup and my fiancé the lobster chowder. Both were delicious. For the entree, I had the salmon and my fiancé the New York strip. The salmon was average but the New York strip was amazing. It was the best steak I've ever had. For drinks, we had moscato and the hurricane. For dessert, we shared the delectable creme brûlée. I would have given 5 stars but something upset both of our stomachs later in the evening, I'm thinking the shrimp. read more

3.5 hours . You would think they would want you in and out so you could gamble . Got in at 5:30 and finished paying the bill at 8. Extremely expensive high class place with low walls to see the games . If you have picky eaters or are in any kinda hurry. Probably avoid. read more

This restaurant was closed and torn down a decade give or take ago. It is a parking lot now. What a shame to close one of the best restaurants in Charleston. read more

Service and atmosphere were great ... but I came for a good steak and at these prices I expected it to be good. The plate arrived looking nice .... But the steak was dry, tough and overcooked , the baked potato wasn't done. Sadly I won't go back read more

Went for the Wednesday prime rib special. Meat was cooked perfectly and served with great horseradish sauce. The baked potato was just ok, nothing spectacular. The special came with cheesecake, which I'm not a huge fan of. Hubby ate that and I had the creme brûlée which was yummy. Service was wonderful even with half the crew apparently calling in sick. I'll definitely head back to this place. read more

Great food, great service, the ambiance outstanding. A place where I always love to go back to with my wife.

We had the Thursday (Oct 5) Filet dinner for two $60, but with Casino promos it was $30. The hostess (did not get her name) was the greatest- friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable and helpful. Her job seemed more than seating people she would ask how things were during our meal and if dishes needed removed from the table she did that. Unfortunately the service from the server and cooks wasn't as attentive. The food took a while to cook and be delivered. So onto the second best thing- the food. The Filet was cooked beautifully and the taste was great. The baked potato was big and great. The salad was on the small side, but tasted good. The green beans should have been more dente. The desert was very good. So the next time we eat here I really hope that hostess is working and the food is as good or a little better than before read more

We asked a few employees of the casino where we would get the best food. All of them said French Quarter, so that's where we went! Service was not wonderful. It wasn't bad, but it felt a lil indifferent. Great draft beer selection at the restaurant. We started with the crispy shrimp and pork belly. The crispy shrimp came recommended, but they were outshone by the pork belly. Steak Frites was really good, with a very well cooked and seasoned steak. Fries were crisp and seasoned, but were not amazing. A side of Brussels sprouts roasted with cherry peppers was a great surprise. No room left for dessert, but the features weren't that exciting. The rolls were weird. They were bland and not delicious. The outside was hard. I think they are bought and warmed. I don't get that these days with all of the amazing frozen doughs available. read more

Weekend Breakfast Buffet: A bit of a mixed bag. The first time we went, the service was good and all the items on the buffet were reasonably fresh and hot. The most recent time, however, the service was poor, dishes and table were dirty, and some of the food was gross. The eggs were in the warming tray for so long that they developed a crusty skin. The potatoes were cold. Many of the brunch items were dried out. It was not a great experience. When we were nearly done eating, fresh food finally replaced the old food on the buffet. The dessert offerings have been stellar on all occasions. read more

Cold food. Very overpriced for the quality. I recommend going to mcdonalds or something else. I was not expecting anything that amazing however i got it even worse. The service was fine though. read more

Only go on Thursday night steak night. Seriously. $20 for a filet with salad and potato? And it's actually pretty good? Yep. I was just as surprised as you are reading this. Normally the steaks are $40 any other day. read more

This is the fancier of the two restaurants inside the Mardi Gras Casino and Resort. Usually it's best to call and get a reservation before hand, but we were lucky enough to get in without a wait on a Friday night when they have an all-you-can eat seafood buffet for $22.95. Sodas are just $1 more. For the most part, everything was great. They had a seafood lasagna with crab, Maine Lobster, clams, and tilapia. The Prime rib on the buffet was sub-par. It was dry for being prime rib. I'd say order it on a prime rib special night, but don't get it off the buffet. They have all you can eat crab legs, which is a plus. Definitely a must try. read more

The French Quarter - seafood buffet flyer - Seafood Near Me - Cross Lanes, West Virginia

I have eaten here several times when in town for work and it was quite good. My most recent visit, however, was disappointing. My steak was over cooked and a cheap cut which I paid $50 for. My guest's prime rib was the pre cooked kind and was not very good at all. Vegetables were okay but our baked potatoes came with cheap margarine on them. For the price per meal, you would think they could afford real butter. I definitely won't be spending my money here again. read more

Ordered filet. Cooked perfectly (we asked for medium). The waiter was super nice and the wine was good. It was busy because the had a seafood buffet but our waiter took good care of us. Filet was seasoned well and came with mixed roasted potatoes and asparagus. We left full and happy. Thank you! read more

The Friday seafood buffet is remarkable and Sunday brunch as well. Tremendous selection and quality ingredients. Return often....

I grant that I should have tempered my expectations since I was eating in WV, but my experience was mediocre, especially for the price. My sea bass ($30) was cooked pretty well but lacked flavor. I ended up swabbing it through the juice from my green beans ($6) to give it some flavor. Potatoes au gratin ($6) were mushy, not at all creamy. The sever was friendly but I waited around 45 minutes on a Monday to get my food after I ordered and she never checked in to see if my meal was okay. read more

Seafood night on Fridays is da bomb. Tons of "good" food to choose from. Always a good time at Tri-State. P.S. Make sure you have plenty of $$. read more

Had a Private dinner party that was set up on the "stage"...nice view from the top of the casino, but you have to go outside and go up the fire escape to get there, not a good idea in cold weather. The waitress' had to carry the food, drinks, everything up and down about 25 steps. Seems to me that a place that is making that much money, they could put in an elevator for the servers/customers. The dinner was good, all pasta dishes, the rolls are excellent. I expected something more elegant to be honest, and more "Mardi Gras". read more

Server, Crystal, was great. Pork chop was dry and the vegetables were indistinguishable from each other. Ordered a Southern Tier IPA to start. Brought it out and it wasn't a ST. Just not a good experience overall. Salad was the highlight. Plus the 80's music from casino spills over into the restaurant area. read more

A lot of the food is expensive, but the best bang for your buck is the chicken Rochambeau. It is fantastic.

Lobster bisque was great in flavor and presentation. Appetizer sampler: shrimp was very good BUT crab cake was inedible because it was too salty and too much filler, plus egg role was no such thing. Service was very pleasant. read more

It has been at least 10 years or longer since I've eaten at the French Quarter restaurant inside Mardi Gras Casinos in Cross Lanes. I don't remember much about that last experience so I was excited when my boyfriend suggested we stop there for a late dinner this past Saturday night. Since the smoking ban went in place, it was a pleasant experience to walk inside the busy casino and not be hit by that offensive odor of days past. We found the restaurant at nearly 10:00 p.m. to still be somewhat busy and there was a slight delay in getting the party in front of us seated, so we elected to sit at the bar for our meal. The bartender greeted us right away and offered menus as she took our drink order. We had a few questions and asked for some recommendations and it became clear that she wasn't exactly a "foodie". I asked about the halibut -- she doesn't like fish. He asked about the pork tenderloin -- she doesn't like the mustard sauce it comes with. We asked about the veal pot stickers -- she finds them salty. So we forged ahead on our own, and I ordered baked halibut, while my boyfriend chose the Berkshire pork chop. We did order an appetizer as well, the crispy shrimp. If not exactly crispy, it was very flavorful. The shrimp were huge and covered in a spicy orange sauce which obviously negated some of the crispiness, but they were really good. The dinner rolls were somewhat institutional. (I really, really love bread, but when they're not worth the carbs, let them go. I let these go.) We didn't have to wait long for our entrees. My halibut was baked with a pistachio crust, and while the flavor was good, it was a bit dry. It was served with a very disappointing sweet corn risotto, which was mushy and somewhat bland. To be fair, the restaurant closed at 11:00, and we arrived around 10:00. I like to think that my risotto would have fared a little better at 7:00. I did enjoy the accompanying hericot vert, which were tender crisp without seeming to have been hanging around all evening waiting for the last diners of the night. While my dinner was merely average, my partner was enjoying quite a different experience. His Berkshire pork chop was enormous and expertly grilled. It was done to perfection and it looked beautiful atop his dish of brussel sprouts and heirloom potatoes. The brussel sprouts had a delicious mustard sauce (although a little bit went a very long way, so perhaps the non-foodie bartender had a point after all), and roasted potatoes were a treat. (This is the second time in recent weeks when I've seen a tri-color potato dish, so if this is becoming a thing, I'm all for it.) His dish was so large that he couldn't finish it (in spite of my stealing bites here and there), and it was a lucky accident that the side of mac and cheese he had originally ordered was left, forgotten, in the kitchen. No one "needs" an additional side of mac and cheese, obviously....but sometimes you just have to feed that craving. As it turns out, neither of us had room for it, and it was graciously removed from our check. A few craft beers and a glass of wine later, our check totaled around $83.00. A bit spendy for the experience, and probably not one that will be repeated terribly often. But we had an enjoyable evening, a few cocktails, good service, some really great (and a bit of merely average) food, and lost $20 in the penny slots. Not a bad night overall. read more

Great Seafood buffet and the service was excellent. Everything on the buffet was good, but my favorite was the crab cakes.

This was by far the worst sea food buffet I have ever been too! The service was just above par. I can't stop thinking about the salad I got when I couldn't eat any of the food on the line because I was afraid of getting sick. My salad was very warm I took one bite and was done. This was not worth $1.00 out of the $25.00 I paid. read more

I have never ever complained about a place I ate before. But this is the worst place I have EVER been in my life !!!!!! Food was ok but not for the price the service was the worst I have ever seen 1st I ask for a booth we couldn't set there they were closing that side down because they were "slow" then said we will comp your desserts for the inconvenience. Once our salads and appetizer came out then a hour after we were done our steaks came out then she kept apologizing they were "busy" but you just told me you were "slow" then the manager come over and ask how everything was? I told her what happened she said we can comp your desserts I told her they had already done that and we didn't want desert and she kept making all these excuses and ever one around us that got there after us got food desert and was done or had left. I told her just make it right so they took 10% off which was about 13 dollars well one dessert was about $13 and it was 3 of us. I told them I thought that was ridiculous then they sent the cook out and he says we had a 3 course meal being a appetizer, salad, and a steak and that's what took so long but that's normal "well why do yall keep apologizing if everything is normal?" and then ask what I thought was fair? I said 20 % then he said WELL we offered yall dessert and I don't know what more we can do I left my kitchen to come out here and talk to you ! He got really loud and rude !!!! I responded you are being very disrespectful just let me pay and leave I'm not arguing with you on my vacation !!!! Then i see manger walk back in the restaurant soooooo that's why you sent the cook out because she left after she had talked to us!! Worst experience I have ever received in my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Don't get me wrong this place has some delicious food, but my problem was these two horrible people. So we made reservations. Then it was set for 8:30. We came 30 minutes early. So the these to snobby stuck girls were there and they took people to their tables. The way they talked to us and treated us and other people was just rude. There were tons of tables open. They didn't even try to fit us in and other people. Then after we say down they were talking about us!!! Not only are they rude but the securities are also rude. The way the staff talks to you is unbelievable. This world if filled with cruel people like that. I don't get how they got their jobs in the first place. Unless you want to be talkin about or be treated horribly. Don't come to this restaurant. The food was amazing so are the waiters there too. The first turn and bayou buffet are one of the best restaurants there is there. 2 stars it the best after that experience for the food read more
