Hey, I like the Big Easy Grille folks. Okay, it's not a great, magnificent, game changer like Kurt Cobain, Madonna, Elvis, Michael Jackson or a U2. However, it is a cozy, respectable, everyday grind it out, enjoyable place to eat some good New Orleans food and have some good New Orleans drinks. Like I said, it is not a game changer but it seems to just keep trucking like a  Mary J. Blige, Usher or a Dave Matthews Band.

I have been to the Big Easy Grille twice and the first time I  had a Shrimp Po-boy, Gumbo and a few specialty drinks and the second time, I just endulged myself on the alcohol!! I am a Food Critic as well as a Specialty Drink Critic. The Foodie can vouch for me on that claim. lol!!!  Anyhow, the layout is very cluttered and impersonal just like a local New Orleans establishment. Also, the place was decorated with all kinds of  paraphernalia of some local Louisiana items and sports teams that many people outside of Lousiana would not know off the top of their heads. I suspected that the owner was from New Orleans. Consequently, I made my way over to him and met him and he is a nice guy. As it turns out, he is from Slidell, Louisiana. For those of you who do not know where Slidell, Louisiana is in regards to New Orleans, see below:

So, as you can tell by the map, it is pretty close so let's just call it New Orleans. I had a brief but productive conversation with the owner and we had a lot of things in common..... Oh yes, finally, he was a bigger guy so that should tell that he can cook!!!  lol!!!! Anyhow, I give The Big Easy Grille the following Grade:

B - Good Food, Nice Owner and Laid Back New Orleans Atmosphere
