Eddie, our server was friendly, with just the right amount of humor and very attentive. He described dishes and offered a hot sauce that was HOT! The Shrimp Bourbon Street was tasty, lots 'o shrimp, yummy dipping sauce, a perfect combo with Seafood Gumbo, to finish off my meal. The Seafood Bisque-appetizer and the Shrimp and Grits meal seemed to satisfy my husband. Our friends ordered Crawfish Etouffee and the Cajun Jambalaya, which were a hit. We commented that there might be some take-home, but it was not to be, the food was consumed on the premises. Our finishing touch of Beignets covered in the powdered sugar and coulis sauce was the perfect finale to our very enjoyable meal. We ate in the dining room, which was busy, but not noisy, and as mentioned , the service was excellent (Eddie) , and patio seating is available. Parking is convenient, so there is every reason to visit Bud's as soon as possible. See ya soon!

It was cold and hard. I barely ate any before I called it quits. For my main, I got the shrimp and grits. The flavor was absolutely amazing but why did it come lukewarm?

It was great to come to this location to celebrate my Bestie's birthday. She chose this place and…read morewe all love it, so it was perfect. There were five of us ladies, and it was really nice to be able to enjoy crab legs, adult chicken tenders, mocktails, and some people got cocktails. When we arrived, we had to wait for the whole party to get there and so it was only about a five minute wait while the others parked. NOTE: Parking is a challenge in this shopping center. I highly recommend parking on the side streets. Luckily my friend that I rode with was able to get a parking spot within the first three minutes of us arriving. The place was not packed, which was good. There were only about 20 people dining when we got there. As soon as we were seated, it was great because we were seated next to family members that we didn't know we're going to be there. That was really cool. Overall, the visit was perfect. The service was great. Brian was our server. For five people we ordered: 2 crab leg combos bags with House sauce mild, 1 order a sweet potato fries as the appetizer, 1 adult chicken tenders meal with a side of House sauce, and 4 bowl sides of rice. They give you so much rice that I would recommend two people sharing the bowl. The rice is made perfect perfectly with perfect sticky level and perfect tender consistency. Our crab legs were delicious and very filling as well as the corn and potatoes that comes in the bag. The house mild seasoning was perfect. I have to say that the sweet potato fries were a bit spicy and peppery. Overall, we had excellent customer service, a good time, and the place was clean, which makes it extra special. I will definitely come back to this location again.

Small small world! This story gets better and better. So it just so happens that I was telling a…read morefriend about my incident, the bad food, and catty energy I received from Mr. Richard at the Taste of New Orleans festival, and she said (hol' up, let me add the disclaimer that this is NOT MY encounter, but I'm retelling a story I was told because you seem like the type to try and finagle a libel or defamation suit just because you're mad because somebody doesn't like your food) she just so happens to know Chef Boots, who used to cook for you when you had 4 C Square in Downtown San Diego back in the 90's. They said you had the Juke Joint too, allegedly. Now your Poboy shop done closed down too, so now you're stuck moonlighting as "The Gumbo Pot" at festivals that probably cost you more in booth rental than you actually made. Why is it you've have ALL of these different restaurants (allegedly) that NEVER stayed open though? Denny's ain't NEVER had to close down and reopen under different names. Anyways though, Richard T. I heard you and Chef Boots used to get into about recipes (allegedly) and y'all almost came to blows about it (allegedly). AGAIN, just hearsay, but I'm just retelling a story I was told, verbatim. Anyways, if you scroll down to the "10 reviews for Poboy Shop that are not currently recommended" section and look at the reviews, Sally T. is the daughter (the one Chef Boots' sister Eboni used to babysit in the 90's) and Nina T. is really the wife. For her to lie and say this food was "Michelin Bib Gourmand (sic) quality" is diabolical! I think maybe she was trying to say "gourmet" but regardless, she's delusional. NOTHING about that food is gourmet or Michelin. Maybe Michelin tires come to mind as you want to run the food over with your car, but this place ain't even a Michelin napkin, let alone a star. Furthermore, to have your family write reviews because you can't get enough honest reviews about your food is sad. You're one of those people who LOVE to say you HAVE a BUSINESS but ain't really DOING business. People are LITERALLY telling you where you need to improve, and instead of implementing the changes, no, you'd rather argue with people and lie about what actually happened. I was cool, polite, and respectful, and I didn't even make a scene like I could have. I ate ONE of those THREE yucky sides (jambalaya) and brought the rest of that swill back to you, and your wife gave me a $10 refund of the $20 I spent. I could've EASILY got loud and went off about how bad the food was, and disrupted your business, and drove away your customers, but I didn't. I made SURE I was respectful. As a matter-of-fact, I was so cool and quiet about it, YOU didn't even realize what happened until AFTER I had already left. To me, it just looks like you've been janky and slangin' subpar food for 30-years, and you STILL apparently don't get it. What's even sadder is to be able to get this type of feedback about you from somebody who remembers you from 30+ years ago, ESPECIALLY considering the Taste of New Orleans festival was the FIRST (and LAST by the way) time I had EVER seen you or had your gross food in my LIFE! Energy doesn't lie though.
