Ralph's Market — Local services in Prairieville

I had quit going here 3 years back. I received horrible service nearly every single time I shopped there. The service at the deli was so bad it had just become funny to me. It was ridiculous. I timed my last visit there and I waited at the deli to get a half a pound of prosciutto and a quarter pound of either provolone or swiss. I waited 13 minutes. I didn't go back until today.

Today I was running errands early and needed to find something quick to eat for lunch, but it was 9:45am. Years ago I would frequently eat Ralphs smoked meats, which were actually really good. Since it was so early their smoked meats were not ready yet. So I found some precooked dirty rice instead. At first glance it looked good and had a good meat to rice ratio. So I grabbed it and headed home.

I got home and heated the dirty rice up. It was the worst dirty rice I had ever eaten. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that. It was actually, I'll say it again, the worst dirty rice I have ever eaten.

The rice was crunchy and not cooked all of the way. There was absolutely no salt and only very little spice to it. It was horrible.

I am not going to waste my time to return it. My time and money has already been wasted. The dirty rice is in the garbage and I will not be back unless it is a dire situation.

UPDATE: It is November and I am back shopping here because Rouses ruined what used to be Leblancs. Im keeping it 3 stars for now and I will just be cautious about...

I love this grocery store so much. They serve breakfast and lunch, self serve, and its really good quality food. They start putting out the lunch food at 10am. Usually have fried catfish, red beans and rice, bread pudding, baked chicken. There is pizza cooked in a ceramic oven that's really good and cheap 2$ per slice. Great prices too, I'd say you can get a big plate for under 8 dollars no problem. There's always seafood gumbo made in this little gumbo section and corn and crab soup which is delicious. They also grill steaks outside. Produce is always fresh and well stocked. Good coffee in the back. Really I can't say anything bad about this place. The lines move really quickly, it's a grocery store I wish there...

Ordered from them on waitr. Driver said they hadn't even made the order by the time they got there. On the app for the plate lunch, they have you choose 2 proteins, 2 sides, and 1 of the desserts. Both my boyfriend and I chose this option. He chose his 2 sides and I chose my 2 sides. Both of us only got one side order, and my fries were close to inedible they were so stale. There was also a hair in my bread pudding. We also ordered a pound of fried fish and there was no way that it was a pound, it almost felt like it weighed nothing. Very unlikely to...
