Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x I think they taste better at Cafe Orleans, but that may be because it's cheaper there. In all seriousness, though, it was a little on the soggy side at BB.

Originally Posted By sjdimon Only had it at the BB - so I cannot say however keep in mind that it is served ala-carte at the Cafe Orleans; while at the BB you get starters (Salad or Gumbo) plus side dishes (vegetables and potatoes). So - while it costs $6 less at the Cafe, in reality you get more at the BB (plus - since it's SO HUGE, if you do the split plate at the BB, EACH person gets the starter and the side dishes - so both of you can eat for under $30).
