another thumbs up!
 
Another great evening!! Thats about 5 times of great food and fun! The burger was GREAT! The prime rib sandwich was delicious. The music was fine, service was attentive with a smile, and Al even gave us a song from the stage. Next time I have to try a pasta dish! The steak at the next table looked GREAT, too!! Hank, thanks for the hello! I hope we have Bourbon Street for a long time! :beer3:

With the change of menu, does Bourbon Street still offer Louisiana Cajun food?

Rokinronda 10-26-2008 06:32 PM

Bourbon Street
 
Yes, Bright, they still have Jambalaya, etouffe, fried green tomatoes and many others. I will be patronizing them often!

chelsea24 10-26-2008 06:36 PM

Me too!
 
I'm a Bourbon St. fan too! We've always had good service and good food. Last time Hyacinth even talked the manager into free appetizers! She's a nut! Fried Green Tomatoes. And they were wonderful. Yum! :icon_hungry: :laugh:

Out of Everything!
 
Everytime we go to B Street they are out of most food items I want and last week only had 1 beer on tap, with many taps displayed.....what's up with that? Then it took us 20 minutes to get something to drink with only 2 servers to be seen, finally getting our rock solid-COLD pasta. New pool tables but no beer and limited food????

Pulling out of a terrible economy and long off season.
 
Yes I am so sorry that we do not have the money to stock up with two to three weeks of inventory. We are running with inventory less than three days old and sometimes run out before next delivery arrives. This will not be the norm as your support increases and season approches. On the positive side it makes for very very fresh meals and an appreciation by our staff to protect the inventory we do have and not waist things (a problem we did have in the past, funny how God trains his people). The new "Game Room" is sponsored by a local Vending company that has supplied us with the equipment at no cost and splits any proceeds with us, they believe in what we are doing, and are Thrilled to be in The Villages. More classic "Board Walk" style Games are coming!! The Dream of a Venue that Villagers can come to and unwind, have a drink, show off a little culture to there guest and let there grandkids play some classic games, and later, dance the night away is almost a reality. Thank you, sooo much for your continued and educated support!!!!!

We went to Bourbon Street when we were up a few weeks ago and it was great....I had my first etouffe and Bill has Shrimp with pasta....both dishes were delicious and the server was excellent....We'll be back.

Bstreetboss,

I'll be relocating to TV in about a week and a half. After I get the truck unloaded I'll try to convince Rokinrobin and Ed to share an evening there with me. I'm not sure that Ed wants to be exposed to any "culture" (as you noted), though! :laugh:

BritParrothead 10-29-2008 07:44 AM

We will be in for a meal in 2 weeks time :laugh: Can't wait to try the Cajun food. We do not get a lot of it here in England!
And if Hank worked for Jimmy Buffett, he'll do for me :coolsmiley:
Can someone tell me what 'Etouffe' is please ?

Helene2008 10-29-2008 10:05 AM

Hi BritParrotHead, I think this will explain it better than I can

Had it a few weeks ago for the first time and really liked it:laugh:

Bstreet boss 10-30-2008 12:22 AM

You Make me Proud.
 
It is such a PLEASURE to be surrounded by so many good people who are GENUINELY interested in helping out!!!!!
God Bless ALL of You.

Hint
 
Bstreet Boss...

FYI..We stopped by one night a while ago to try your place and the music was so loud we couldn't carry on a conversation with the staff at the front door.
I love music but I will not patronize a restaurant for dinner where I must shout at my companion. We moved on to a quieter venue..sorry.

In the bistro, OK, in the main restaurant, NO.

Hello captain 1202

I've always wondered why the music has to be THAT loud in some restaurants. Perhaps, it's because the band, DJ, or restaurant management believe that what they have to "say" is more important than the customers.
