I've been meaning to write a review

by Asem at Citysearch

I have been there a few times and every time i go i tell myself i will write up a nice review for the place.

The food was great as usual, and the service was good too. Unless its crawfish season its never too busy, seems like this place is a well kept secret.

I am excited that crawfish should be in season soon so i will have to brave the crowds.

• Pros: Good Food, Great Crawfish
• Cons: The crowds during crawfish season, but worth the wait

• Pros: incredible food and drink specials!!
• Cons: not crawfish season yet :(

Prob the best crawfish I've ever had!

by Xtian at Citysearch

I consider my self a big crawfish fan. I don't mind driving far or paying a little extra to find a good crawfish boil. I've been to MGG seven times and I have to say it's probably the best crawfish I can find around town. The service is great too! I usually don't take the time to write a review but I have to recommend this place to all. Take care

• Pros: delicious
• Cons: parking

The real deal

by PongGod at Citysearch

After reading the mostly positive reviews on this restaurant, I thought I should give it a try since I was in the mood for some good Cajun cooking and I wanted to try a new place. It was everything I was hoping for: delicious food, unpretentious atmosphere, friendly service and all at a reasonable price. We will definitely be coming back!

• Pros: Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices
• Cons: none

Man, was this good!

by mojomania at Citysearch

My mouth is still watering... I Just got back from Mardi Gras where I had a pound of boiled crawfish and some amazing courbouillon. The gumbo roux sauce was fantastic. The crawfish was the most satisfying 5 dollars I've spent in the last year. They were cooked just perfect, nice zing on the spices, wonderfully tasteful, bold flavor yet fresh, I've had crawfish 5 different times this last month but nowhere NEAR as good as at this wonderful uptown dive. I'd go back tomorrow except I'm leaving for Boston for a week... I told them I'm coming back for even more crawfish the day I get back!

My wife enjoyed the stuffed shrimp as well... she's not a fish eater (usually) but liked the roux sauce with flakes of catfish and crawfish so much she's going to order that Courboillon the next time too!

I must admit, I'm really happy I finally tried Mardi Gras Grill....

by FabFoodCritic08 at Citysearch

After reading some of the comments made about this restaraunt, I'm really shocked. A friend of mine told me about this place, so we went, and I loved it! Starting with the Creole Crab Dip and a few other apps. I had a few #'s of Crawfish, which were excellent by the way. I know its not New Orleans, but pretty damn close. Service was great, management seemed to be on top of things. I can't think of one thing to complain about. I realize how expensive Crawfish is now days, but thats everywhere if you eat them. I've gone to places with good/cheap deals on boiled crawfish, you get what you pay for. Also, for the member "BWK", stop going if you dont like it so much. You sound like a total Ba Ba BIATCH to me!

insane!

by boychris83 at Citysearch

the food is simply rediculously good. I wish it was bit bigger but it is real good. I've never been to a place that embraces the Mardi gras spirit so well. I mean from the moment you walk in you can feel the cajun warmth. The bartenders are quick to refresh my favorite brew. Im going again after work...i love it!

• Pros: everything
• Cons: nothing

Great Service, Great Staff & Great Food

by Asem@n-ii.com at Citysearch

Wow! I was so surprised to hear the review on 4/9/2008. I had just the opposite impression of Mardi Gras Grill. The waitstaff and bartenders are friendly and very helpful. The management is great! I had them be more than helpful to myself, my family, my children and handicapped family member. They went out of their way when they really did not have to do so. The food was great, the serve fast and efficient: the drinks (water & soft drinks) were always full, food arrived on-time, warm, tasty, exactly as described and the portions were so huge we took half of our food home for leftovers. As for parking--that complainer must have been drunk or confused---Mardi Gras Grill pays to rent a whole parking lot for their restaurant across the street and it clearly marked. Unfortunately patrons too cheap to apy valet at new places like Soma, WE & Max's use the Mardi Gras lot---I wonder when Mardi Gras will start towing????? Mardi gras Grill is great authentic Cajun cuisine with fabulous staff!. Some people just cannot be happy with anything---maybe that person was really rude or drunk & the managers were simply short to avoid unpleasantries with a unreasonable person.
