"All you can eat Boiled Shrimp" @ Boutins...............

One of the worst dining experiences of my life! Seven of us arrived at about 6:30 and ordered beer and everyone order the special for dinner. We received our first plate at about 7:15, and there were no more that 15 shrimp on the plate per person. We asked that since it took so long to get this order, if you could go ahead tell the cook that we will at least be getting two or three more servings. The waitress told us that they will not start cooking the shrimp until we are done with the first plate! As far as the shrimp go, they were not fresh shrimp and they didnt even have the heads on them. The waitress informed us that the owner was very cheap and he wanted to "wait people out" on delivering the shrimp plates. We finally received our second order at about 8:00, and my plate had exactly 8 shrimp on it, and they wouldn't even give us another potato. The owner had the nerve to walk over and ask us if we got enough to eat. We informed him that this was not an "All you can eat" but an "All you can Wait" Special.
That was my first and last time to ever eat there!

This place is terrible. We used to have our networking meeting there and the food gradually became worse over time, so we stopped going there.
I honestly can't understand how he is still in business.

Did he say anything or do anything to fix it? shite if the owner doesnt own up to somthing then the place is seriously screwed.

A lot of restaurants do this. I got the all you can eat catfish at Mike Anderson's, and my plate was the last to be brought out. Everyone else was done eating before I could finish my first plate, so I didn't get a second plate.
At Hooter's, if you get the all you can eat wings, they bring out the extra wings 5 at a time, and they take at least 20 minutes from the time you ordered them.

No he didnt fix shite, at 8:30 he told us he would get us more shrimp, and I told him I would go to Taco Bell on the way home.....He also had a smirk on his face the whole time. It was aweful.

We thought it would be like all you can eat crawfish, where they bring it out on a tray.

Reminds me of my days at Acadian Seafood where the owner told us to boil the crawfish with so much pepper that nobody would eat more than a few pounds on "All You Care to Eat" night.

I know Drusilla gets a bad rap on here, but I've gone for their all you can eat boiled shrimp and it was great. It's not very crowded, only 12.95, and our waitress was bringing them out so fast I couldn't keep up.

Mike Anderson's does a good job with the all u can eats in the bar area. I had the fried shrimp a while back, not bad. I couldnt' even finish my first plate there were so many.

I dont think Drusilla gets a bad rap its just that everyone here knows it has the ability to be better but fails in execution. We all want Drusilla to be great. My only issues I constantly have there is the service though not the food.

I really wish they would shut this place down.
I think it’s the tourists that keep them going.
I got talked into going there about a year ago and it was terrible.
Worst excuse for cajun food I have ever been served (well worst in the state of LA at least)
And this leaves the tourist type think that is true home style Cajun food.

That place was a restaurant hell-hole when it was Mulatte's too.

Do ya'll remember that place started out a Cock of the Walk? They were the first place to serve fried pickels in BR.

Yes but they charge soooo much for a pitcher of beer...the bill was a fortune....35 -40 dollars for the shrimp and like 150 for the draft beer...there is no free lunch

I remember my waiter would toss the cornbread between the ceiling fan blades while it was running...and never touched the blades....now that was dinner and a show
