Competent, uninspired seafood. If that's what you're looking for, flip a coin between here and Pappadeaux, or go to whichever one is closer.
What Landry's does, they do pretty well. It's your basic slightly-upscale seafood place. Service was generally quite attentive. The fried platter gives you a hefty amount of food for the price (it looks like they bought Moe's Army-sized deep fat fryer). They give you plenty of salad, pre-drenched in Italian dressing (which is actually fine by me). My blackened redfish with a side of crawfish etoufee was also fine, though not in the same league the blackened dishes at Pappadeaux.
In fact, that's pretty much my main complaint with Landry's as a whole. Though you may pay a few dollars more at Pappadeaux,, with the possible exception of the Uber-Sundae dessert three of us were unable to finish, the food is decidedly better. An adequate choice if you want seafood south of the river, but it's hard to work up a lot of enthusiasm for it.
I will say this for Rosie's: they have very nice servers. Ours even brought an entire pitcher of tea for the table (even though I was the only one drinking tea).
Sadly, though, I hated the food. The tamales were heavy and greasy, the fajitas were nothing to write home about, and my TexMex combo was standard issue plastic food. If you want tamales, you could throw a stone from here and hit Curra's Grill, home of the best tamales in town. If you want a TexMex combo plate, you could throw a stone from here and hit El Gallo, and get a much better combo plate and just as good service.
Sad. Very sad.
Yet Another TexMex Joint. Service was good, and the tamales were a slight bit better than average, but the nachos were nothing to write home about and the fajitas for two were on the skimpy side. There are a number of restaurants in the same general area who do a better job.
Note: Those suffering from Clownophobia are advised to skip this restaurant entirely, as the grease-painted ones are very much in evidence in the chandelier decor...
Armadillocon weekend.
Thanksgiving weekend. I know a two-week layoff for the conspiracy is unusual: it only happened this time around because Armadillocon wasn't on the regular date.
