Maybe I caught them on their worst night, but everything we tried was below standard.

Does Tom's have gar?

No, but they have frog legs and flounder.

Unlike Mambo they don't appear to use dirt in their roux for gumbo.

I usually only get calimari, gar, and fried rice from Mambo's, so I am not overly concerned with the quality of their gumbo.

I'm pretty sure the fried rice had originally been cooked on Easter.

So the fried shrimp/fried oysters today were good, but i still prefer the cormeal breading at Capt. Toms. The fried rice IS damn tasty, thumbs up for that. The micheladas are good, about on par with Toms, but still a slight edge going to Capt Toms.

Didnt seem as sh*tty as jj's experience, over pretty pleased. The crew of lolitas on waitstaff today was top notch and made me feel a little dirty. The Aria Giovanni lookalike was back too.

Correction. The Mambo on Long Point at at Witte and not Blalock but it's not far from Blalock...

Longpoint beez the one we hit
