The Big Easy NC

"I try my best to be authentic with my reviews. I am not mad but just distraught. I came here for my sister bday party and I had ordered a a burger at the same time other ppl were ordering(also ordered alligator bites). Twenty minutes goes by and I get my alligator bites cool, ten minutes later my friend arrives and they start bringing peoples food out one by one. I wait 5 mins and everyone but two people including me did not get their food. Me and my friend were then approach by a grown man thats said it was his birthday and he said if we have some change. This guy showed us his Id to prove it too. Then my friend that arrived LATE got her food before me. At this point I see the waiter and ask her where is my food she said she will go check. My other friend gets her second order. She came back with another burger that I did not order and sat the plate down on my table then proceeds to say “sorry we mixed your order with some one else, but I told her canI just get the burger asked for and she said no problem. I got my burger and it was actually good. The service needs some improvement by far. Ravioli was bad"

"My wife and two best friends took me here after graduation! One of the best places to eat in Raleigh! Good Cajun food as well as other types! The music is a tad loud at times but that’s okay. We tried each other’s food and ordered dessert to share! It was an incredible experience! Our waitress was nice, responsive, and just very helpful! We tipped her very well and I took these pictures to tip the restaurant for doing a great job! We will hopefully be back!"

"The restaurant itself is gorgeous, but the food and service was lackluster. We made reservations, but not sure why they accepted them as it was seat yourself. There was no table reserved for us, which means we wouldn't have had a table in a rush. They may have been understaffed, but the service was insanely slow. Our server was also irritated with us when we had issues with the food. We ordered the alligator bites, the sampler entree, the salmon, the green tomato sandwich, and the she-crab soup. We really enjoyed most of the food, but the salmon had absolutely no flavor. The she-crab soup was so fishy that it made one of us sick. Overall, the place was a big hit and miss. Maybe they should change their name to The Big Uneasy."

"Amazing atmosphere, great music, and our waiter was okay. It was cool in Raleigh so we ordered soup- full of flavor but our food was cold which was disappointing. The shrimp were overcooked or recooked which made them taste like rubber. Plan to visit again but try something different."
