This was not my first visit. Food was excellent as usual but I was disappointed in the service this time. We were a party of 4 adults and a toddler. We ordered something very simple for the toddler (little preparation needed) and asked that it be brought before the adults' food so we could enjoy our...

I hate going into an established and dealing with staff that appears to hate their job. The young lady with the short blonde hair wasn't friendly at all. By the time we sat down our waiter.... Joseph came over right away to get our drink order. Joseph was quick, gave honest answers, made sure our gl...

Great local authentic Cajun Band for dancing and entertainment. Pretty good food reasonably priced we had great service.
If you're staying in the French Quarter take the riverfront train and it stops right across the street from Mulates.

Good food, but... The gumbo was tasty, but a "large" bowl at $16.50 was not very large at all [in fact, it looked exactly the same size as a medium bowl of etouffee we ordered] -- I was hungry an hour later! Also beware the drinks that are not priced on the menu -- a bottle of Abita was $7.50, and...

How dumb and customer unfriendly could this place be? Came on a Friday night at 9:30. The place was empty. We wanted to sit and have drinks near the band and the hostess wouldn t let us despite it being empty. Band was good. Management poor.

If you read about the original it sounds awesome. But the current location seems a shadow of it's former self. Almost like a plastic Cajun experience. The food was expensive given the visual appearance of the fries and gator that came out on the plate. It was also delivered in about 4 minutes after ...

I will never step foot back in this restaurant again. They need a negative star in customer service. I was there for a business convention and we all went to Mulate's for lunch after I had not been feeling well. I also have a shellfish allergy so I am limited to what I can eat at this type of restau...

I ate at the original Mulate's out in the middle of Louisiana when I was driving across the country 10 years ago. It was a memorable experience and the food was incredible! My husband couldn't wait to try it when we drove across the country this year. Unfortunately, Mulate's has moved to the middl...

Good food. Gave it 4 stars because I feel like you can get the same thing lots of places in NOLA. We enjoyed the band that played. That's something a little harder to find, for some reason... restaurants with good Cajun/zydeco music. My dad and his wife were in from out of state and really excited t...

It was just ok. I went there because my husband I visited there a long time ago and enjoyed the blacked alligator bites. Ordered them today with meatless red beans, which were just warm and my husband had the seafood gumbo. The shrimp was frozen. He said it was ok. Kinda wish I had just ordered ...

Excellent food, humdrum atmosphere. Of the places we ate at I would rank them as
K Paul - great mains, service, ambience and starters
Mulates - also felt more local, good service, not great ambience
Cochon - great food, a bit on the salty side
Commanders palace - confusing service, not very Loui...

We're visiting here from stl for the weekend so we Googled highly recommend restuarants and this came up ....we waited 30 min, the food came out cold as if it's been sitting in the back. When we told the manager he said "you want me to nuke it" how rude! On a lighter note, the server was very plea...

This establishment Do Not season their food. The chicken wings were bland. The stuffed shrimps were cooked in old grease. My jambalaya was cold, I sent it back and never received a replacement. The gumbo was horrible. Over heard the waiter ask for silverware and her coworker replied we do not have...

Appetizers were absolutely wonderful but we should've stopped there. Meals were just OK and my husband's crawfish augratin was so salty he couldn't eat it. Smoked oyster appetizer is absolutely delicious though and they've got good cold beer.

Went with a large group. Server was friendly but only mildly attentive. One member of our group received his meal nearly 45 minutes after the rest of the table. The manager didn t think it was a big deal because they were busy.

Food was a 2.5 but the experience was a 1. Won t return.

Our server was great. The music was good. However, the food was just not that good. Everything was way overcooked. Oysters were simply too small to be fried. Jambalaya tasted like it had been sitting on the back porch for days. There was an unfortunate experience with the manager when my father trie...

Curious restaurant of traditional food of New Orleans Where you can eat the main traditional dishes here you can try alligator frog legs and other types of local foods the truth is that often they do not distinguish one from another because it has a very strong type of flavoring and similar but it i...

Went for dinner with 6 people on a Saturday night. It took us about 15 minutes to get seated. Took another 10 minutes for anyone to get drink orders. Then another 15 minutes to get the drinks. 2 drinks were wrong. Ordered food and took a good while. Most of us got a cup or bowl of gumbo. Food was am...

At first my group thought this would be some type of tourist trap restaurant. It's not. We at here 4x during our convention stay. Great food. Can be busy just about anytime so try to get in early if you can. The service was fast on each of our visits. Would recommend to anyone. It's also right acro...

Usually good food and fun place...but
Was disappointed in our last visit in Aug 2015.
Waite staff not up to usual standards, and worst of all, neither my wife nor I thought food was up to what we have experienced during prior visits. I hope this was just a bad night and not a trend.
