After over a decade of living in Greensboro, North Carolina, I tried one popular restaurant for the first time on a recent Friday evening. New Orleans Bar and Grill is popular and often crowded restaurant located across the street from a Hilton Garden Inn hotel and a CVS pharmacy.
Every time we have driven past this restaurant, the colorful purple building has seemed to beckon, promising to be very festive inside and offering enjoyable meal options. We finally heeded the call and decided to visit this restaurant. It was just me and my two sons at a spacious table, ready to take a look at what’s on the menu at New Orleans Bar and Grill and see what foods we could delight in. We went to the New Orleans Bar and Grill restaurant with an $11 restaurant coupon in hand from the “Attractions” restaurant coupon book. The coupon was for buy one dinner entrée get one dinner entrée free, up to an $11 value at New Orleans Bar and Grill restaurant. We knew that we were going to utilize this coupon for sure and were taking a look at menu options to see what we would get.
That Friday evening, we were seeing an advertised food special for “All-You-Can-Eat” crab legs for $49.95 per person at New Orleans Bar and Grill restaurant. While some of the people at tables nearby were indulging in this option, we knew that it was beyond our budget for that particular night. What we decided to get was:
• the fried calamari appetizer for $8.95 plus two adult sized dinner entrees.
• I purchased the rib-eye steak dinner entrée, prepared medium with two sides – french fries and macaroni and cheese for $14.95.
• I also purchased the chicken tenders dinner entrée for $13.95. This entrée was also served with two side dishes and french fries and macaroni and cheese were selected again. (Among several other choices for side dishes was dirty rice, common in Louisiana style cooking.) There were an abundant number of chicken tenders in this adult sized entrée, a generous portion and my two little sons shared it. I also gave them some extra fries and macaroni and cheese from my own entrée.
The mac and cheese was rich, creamy and delicious and the fries were hot and tasty.
All of the food arrived to the table piping hot and delicious. The calamari appetizer was served several minutes before the rest of the food and my older son and I shared that. My younger son did not want to try it. The calamari was very fresh tasting and delicious and the marinara sauce was good.
Warm garlic bread was also served and replenished with a second helping before the dinner entrees of rib-eye steak and chicken tenders arrived to the table.
The waiter was very polite and helpful. We did not purchase any dessert and drank only water as our beverages. We spent $35 including tip on this enjoyable night out to dinner.
There was some pouring rain when we arrived at the restaurant, with the rain dissipating by the time we were ready to leave the restaurant and go home. The front entryway of the New Orleans Bar and Grill restaurant has two long black leather like seating benches for those who might like to sit down. Several of the walls are adorned with mirrors and photos of some of the dishes that are served at the New Orleans Bar and Grill restaurant. Interesting and eye catching is also a wall hanging discussing various types of alligators. Yes, alligator is on the menu at New Orleans Bar and Grill Restaurant but we had no plans to partake of it and we stuck to the plan. I have never eaten alligator in my life. Have you?!
The restaurant is large. The dining table tops are unique and pretty as can be seen in some of the photo.
The steak was really good and tasty A-1 steak sauce was offered for the steak upon request.
