I shake my head when thinking of the dinner my Wife and I had earlier this week. All I can say is there must have been a cafeteria cook behind the line and no culinary trained individual. The food we recieved was bland at best. Furlong's had a reputation for authentic Louisiana cuisine...there was nothing authentic the night we spent there. A large sampler platter greeted us with overcooked sausage, dry stuffed mushrooms, and tasteless catfish bites. Only the crawfish tail tenders had any real taste. Next, the shrimp and grits might just be the worst I have ever had. Five inconsequental shrimp drowned in a very bland sauce and grits were almost comical. Entrees were slightly better. My Wife's boulibasse was no where authentic and the recipe must have just been "made up." I was not even sure the grouper I ordered was the fish that ended up on my plate. Certainly did not taste like grouper. All in all a very, very bad experience. I have worked almost twenty years in the food service industry and have seen alot, but never seen such an all encompassing disappointing experience. I will say this, the service was outstanding, the Gentleman rose well above the stature of his employer.
The northwest corner of East Main Street and Ashland Avenue has been home to many restaurants since the 1930s. I can go back that far because before redevelopment (yes, it occurred back then, too), it was where the home of my great-grandparents stood. After my great-grandmother died in 1936, the house was sold, torn down and the Stirrup Cup was built. The three other corners at Main and Ashland became gas stations. This address has been the Stirrup Cup twice, Hall's on Main, a succession of dreadful restaurants, Furlongs from the 1996 until 2004, and then a few more short-lived restaurants and now, Furlongs is back. The parking lot has been packed ever since. (Full review)
