I haven't eaten here in years. My associate took me to lunch. I still find the whole ordering process beyond confusing but at least the menus are at prominent places now. Anyway, 2 iced teas, 2 cups of soup and 2 sandwiches came to $32.50. So much for what I always thought of as a cheap ass date place in law school.
That being said, it was really quite good. But surprisingly expensive.

by #7 throw away to do list.
the lower end chains have really bumped up prices the last few years. basically a sticky fuel upcharge. at houstons a cheeseburger ($13) and a glass of the prisioner ($14) will set you back $40 per person w/tax and tip. one has a much better value prop at places like mat&naddies, dante's kitchen, atchafalaya etal.

I just returned from Village Inn on Jeff. Hwy. in River Ridge where they will deliver freshly shucked oysters to your table for $3/dozen (Tuesday and Wednesday) and you can eat all the freshly fried shrimp and white beans you want for $9.95 on Tuesdays.
The quality is good. The place is very dated and worn. The owners are local, they source local and they work their a$$es off.
