Terrible and terribly overpriced.

I don't see the hype

I ordered a cup of etoufee, a regular shrimp poboy and a rootbeer. 27 dollars.

Never again

Since they've moved into the new facility/upgraded, it has gone to hell. It was always a little pricey but they have gone full ruhtard and the food is going down hill.

I didn't even bother looking at the prices

Apparently the cup was 8.50

And it's not like it was particularly good

Yeah and they're literally the cup sizes

Not like some places where the cup just means a smaller bowl

The shrimp poboy was 13.75 by itself. It wasn't very good either. It had some sort of dry slaw. No other dressing.

I've been once... had the famous poboy with the roast beef debris... totally agree with this thread, over hyped, over priced, not very good. Silly tourists.

I will say that the poboys were at least a generous size

I just can't wrap my head around the 8.50 cup of etoufee

There is no way what I ordered should have been 27 dollars

If it cost too much, why did you order it?

Here's what I don't understand. With a little investigation someone would know there are limited items worth ordering at Mother's. Primarily, it's breakfast and their sandwiches. The Ferdi is a damned good sandwich. I have no idea what it costs and I couldn't care less. It is what it is. The couple of things they do weel are worth avoiding the tourists and eating.

That sounds like a ripoff if they charge you $27 for a Barqs, po boy, and etouffee. Mother's is known for being a tourist trap though. At most other places your bill would've been around $15 for all of that.

Yeah I really can't figure out what exactly you're paying for there

It's not like the service is great either
