I know, I know, don't go to a chain place and expect it to knock you out of the park. But Landry's was open, and close to my hotel room.
And looking back - I'd choose it again even if it weren't! I was so pleasantly surprised by the meal I had at Landry's. From the flavor to the quality and value, everything was solid. Each of me and my plus one ordered the lunch special which turned out to be a heck of a lot of food for your dollar. Starting off with the zucchini fries and gumbo, both were great. The fries clearly just came out of the fryer and never having experienced them before, I am a FAN! Perfect texture and delicious accompanying sauce. The gumbo was pretty good, shrimp a little tough but what do you expect when they get boiled into a soup. Needed a touch of hot sauce, which I was able to add myself. The fried shrimp plate was great! Tender perfectly fried shrimp and a solid french fry, would definitely get it again. As for the etouffee, we enjoyed it, but it tasted very strongly of the "mustard" you find in the body of a crawfish - for me, a huge plus, but may be a turn off to others who prefer a less fishy/milder taste. In a pretty quite lunch service, our server was so attentive and quite the jokester which only added to the experience. What do you know? This chain is staying afloat (literally) for a reason! Definitely worth checking out.
