Mardi Gras Grill

Rude Management

by BWK at Citysearch

Mardi Gras Grill was the happening place in years past. Since the new owners and management, I have seen nothing good come out the restuarant. The service is the only thing that remains the same. The portions are a lot smaller and the prices are higher. That makes no sense to me and others that I have talked to. I had a manager come up and seat people that were not on the small waiting list and when she was asked why they were seated before others, she said that she did not care about that.. When we finally got seated, I saw the manger sitting at the table with the ones she took in front of everyone else eating with them. That is a good way to lose business. I still go ocassionally, but i am looking forward to the newest place opening down the street, 1400 is the name.

• Pros: Great waitstaff and bartenders
• Cons: Lousy parking, rude management

Disappointing crawfish

by nemo13 at Citysearch

It looked to me that 2007 would be a good year for crawfish. Had some nice sized crawfish in March right here at Mardi Gras. Came back for the MG 3lbs for $10 crawfish in mid April and they sure seemed smaller. Just to be sure I went right over to Rajin Cajun on Richmond and had some mudbugs nearly three times the size of the ones I had just left. The only conclusion I can make is that Mardi Gras Grill buys mediums in order to offer a "deal". Very discouraging. I know I paid a lot more at Rajin Cajun but they were worth it.

Food overall averaged, prices are above normal range. Boiled crawfish was not my taste.

• Cons: hard to get parking
