It has been over 4 years since we've been to Mike Anderson's and we plan to never return based on our last visit. Seating has always taken a long time and wait staff have never been overly-helpful (unless you're someone "important" from LSU like Skip Bertman). Several times we've had to wait while his table was waited on hand and foot. Oh well, that's life, right? The food is good...not great or amazing. It's a bit dark, crowded and noisy but that's ok...if you like that sort of thing. The last time we visited this mediocre establishment our son was not even 1 yet. We waited for 20 minutes for a seat and finally got a table. The hostess plopped a high-chair on the outside of the table and we put our son in it and began the long wait for our server to arrive....only he/she never did. We waited 20 minutes and the only staff to visit our table came to complain about the placement of the high chair...calling it a fire hazard. We moved it (no one even hinted on helping us find a more suitable location) but were again told, 10 minutes later, that it had to be moved...again with no help at all. After all of that AND no one to even take our drink order after 20 minutes we called the manager over and announced our displeasure. He didn't seem to give a flip and said he'd try to find our waiter. NO THANKS. I can pay less money an other restaurants for MUCH better service and atmosphere AND better food. If you love it...great. This is just our experience with this restaurant. We've eaten there countless times over the past 10 years and it was never anything amazing but that last trip was the last straw. Besides, if you really like the food you can always buy the cook book and make it yourself without the crappy waitstaff.
Pros: Food is Ok.
Cons: Terrible service, crowded, noisy, long waits
