Po'Boy Genes
Wish I had read this before I went yesterday! Five of us went to eat, what used to be a really solid roast beef poboy-what we got was not the roast beef. We ordered out rbp and went to get a drink out of the the soda fountain, no soda was working... 45 minutes after we ordered out roast beef the gentleman came and told us that they were in fact out of gravy???? At that point I had to leave b/c I was with children and couldn't wait another 45 minutes for a sandwich. My brother and his wife stayed, not sure what they ordered, but they had been given a gift card a month ago to Gene's. When he went to redeem the gift card, the woman behind the register told him that they do not sell those, and hadn't since it was under new management, so my brother ended up having to pay the bill. I HATE writing bad posts about restaurants, but the "New" management of Gene's is giving the original Gene a BAD name!
Best Smoked Turkey?
I eat turkey at Rudy's every time we eat there. I have never had a bad experience with it, the number one reason being it is always tender.
Fun Restaurant
Thank y'all for the ideas.
Anyone ever been to Primizie? Good for groups?
Fun Restaurant
I am looking for everyone's opinion on fun restaurants in Austin-to go with a group to? Not really thinking about cost, but decent food is a must.
Ideas???
Wait time at Uchi
I would like to bring my parents to Uchi on Friday and could not get a reservation at a decent time. Can anyone advise me on how long a typical wait is if I get there around 6 on Friday?
Thanks a lot.
Best Salsa in Austin
So, el regio's green salsa huh? I have never been to El Regio's, can someone please tell me where they are located?
Uptown/Garden District Ideas?
My mom will be turning 60 in August and is originally from NOLA-but we don't live there now. We are trying to think of places to have a birthday party for her, a room we can rent out? can fit 50ish people (maybe smaller)? food is not the main issue, light apps is fine. drinks, of course. and somewhere in the uptown/garden district area.
Any ideas are much appreciated!
Cheers.
Best Salsa in Austin
I love a good salsa and was wondering other people opinions on where to be served the best in Austin. Oh, my favs are Maudies, Casa Chapala and Trudy's. Yours?
Best Chai Tea
So, I went to Yoga Yoga the other day and had the best chai tea after class. Anyone have recommendations around Austin for great chai tea's from coffee shops?
Thanks!
Bachelor party dinner recs
I think Commander's is a great idea for the "complete" experience. Also, Jacque Imo's is also something you might want to think about. Being that you all are pretty inexperienced with NOLA, this restaurant has wonderful food and a loud, fun atmosphere. One more recommendation, Brigtsen's-make your reservation now, small house, but never disappoints! Let us know how it turns out.
Cheers
