Not Worth it

This is a new restaurant in my area and me and my husband decided to give it a try. We were very disappointed. We went for lunch. All of the entrees…even lunch ones were over 10 dollars…and that isn’t the problem. They were not worth the 10-15 bucks. We got shrimp remoulade app which was mediocre at best. I got a burger w, grilled onion and mushrooms. I am not exaggerating when I say it tasted like nothing. The most flavorful thing on it was the bun. My husband got what he though was going to be pasta with a creamy wine sauce. The sauce was so thin and runny it would not even stick to the pasta. They brought hush puppies to our table before the meal as lagniape, and they were really good, but cold. The only good thing was the service. They need to get a new chef. They serve similar New Orleans cuisine to Coplands, which is right next door, only it taste much worse. We won’t be going back or encouraging anyone else to.

Dishes I tried:

Burger with grilled onion and mushroom

The only thing on the burger that had flavor was the bun.

Does the next Emeril Lagasse work at Mojo's?!?! No.

In the last 15 years since the internet has been around, seldomly have I found the motivation to right a review of a restaurant online. The few times I have, I didn’t actually go through with it. I can’t let this one slip by though. Yeah, that’s how bad this place is

We went on a Monday night, around 7:45pm. The place was empty. We were seated quickly…that’s the peak. It’s all downhill from here. First off, we were given the wrong menus. Well, some of us had the right menu, and some of us the wrong one…so they got that part like 50% right. So we ordered some drinks. One of our party members got a Manhattan…which pretty much consisted of room temperature bourbon with a cherry in it. Good try.
We skipped appetizers. We went ahead and ordered entrees…nothing real complicated. I think the hardest it got was a chicken sandwich.

IT TOOK OVER 35 MINUTES FOR US TO GET OUR FOOD! 4 EASY DISHES IN AN EMPTY RESTAURANT! Simple grilled chicken sandwich, some gumbo, some fettucini, and veggie sandwich.

We finally asked the waitress what the problem was, who responded “Oh, we need to cook the chicken. We don’t like to serve raw chicken to our customers.”

How considerate. “Hey Jim! That chicken done yet? It’s been on the grill for OVER A HALF AN HOUR!”

We did however get a glimpse into the kitchen, and noticed that all their chefs were stuffing their mouths! I wish I was kidding.

When we finally did get our food, the rice in the “seafood” gumbo WAS NOT COOKED! For the love of God could this get any worse? We didn’t let it. Check please! And folks, it wasn’t cheap.

For the love of all that is holy, spare yourself and your loved ones. Don’t eat here. If you’re going to open up a “taste of new orleans” restaurant in new orleans, you better be pretty damn good.

Just go to Zea’s or Copelands right across the street. Seriously.

Don't bother

I can’t say ANYTHING good about this restaurant.
From the time I walked in, until the time I left, it was a comedy of errors. When we told them we would have a party of 6, they looked overwhelmed. When we finally sat down for lunch, they didn’t have the lunch menu available. It was dinner only, with prices between 12 and 30 dollars. I should have left right then, but I guess I wanted to punish myself more. Every dish that was served was ice cold. I had shrimp alfredo, and I had about 3 shrimp in it. We ordered desert, and it didn’t come out until AFTER we got our check. As if this wasn’t enough, the waitress under-charged us, but she didn’t realize it until after we had paid with a credit card. It took another 20 minutes to reverse the credit card transaction an straighten everything out. We paid dinner prices for a terrible lunch that seemed to be a never-ending Keystone Cops movie.

Dishes I tried:

Shrimp Alfredo, Gumbo, Seafood Platter
