Boo Ray's of New Orleans — Restaurant in Fort Worth

We were seated as soon as we stepped through the door, our waitress was great, food came out hot and ready, drinks were kept filled and place was nice and clean.

$14.49 $2.00 extra bread The 🍤 🦐 shrimp & 🦞crawfish 🫕fondue w/slices of toasted garlic bread🧄🥖 was out of this world! Even my grandson that "HATyrES" Cajun food! we had to move the bowl away from him when the bread ran out. If it had not had 🍤🦐 and 🦞 his 🥄would have been out and he would have been going to town. 😆 🤣 We did have about 1/3 of a bowl to take home with us. The % of 🍤🦐 and 🦞 compared to the % of 🫕 fondue was a bit ⚖️ tipping today! 🤣🤣 We did have to order extra toasted to bring home though. It would not have been the same w/out it!

Me.. $21.99 8 shrimp, stuffed with shrimp & crabmeat stuffing. Topped with crawfish hollandaise & served over white rice with green beans. I traded the rice for salad and I was charged $7. It was a very nice salad. Not worth $7 for a side salad though!! Menu said substitution allowed. Might want to let customers know you're going to charge them full price and not credit for what they leave off!! Stuffed shrimp was ok. The stuffing was really close to a puree almost. If they would add some of their wonderful garlic and herb bread(that they have made into crumbs) or use some of their croutons (which are really darn good too) the stuffing would be good. It was a bit offensive/off putting/like baby food. Just flat out didn't like the green beans. Not sure what type of sauce they were in.

Hubbies... $16.99 chicken breast grilled & topped with shrimp & crabmeat stuffing. Topped with homemade crawfish hollandaise. Served with dirty rice & green beans. Substituted green beans for a salad and was charged $7 too.

Hubby said chicken was dry and over cooked. He also was not crazy about the stuffing and it not having anything in it was almost pureed shrimp and crab meat.

Grandsons... Cheeseburger with fries and was very good!! Popcorn shrimp with fries. The seasoned breading on the shrimp was very tasty. When we go back it will be fried shrimp for me!!

I had previously heard really good things about Boo Ray's & finally decided to give them a try today, which also means I had to drive 50 mins just to get there - ultimately wasted every gallon of gas if you ask me.

Bowl of Gumbo: It definitely was not the best I've had but it was still good for the most part. The pricing for a cup vs a bowl is not appropriate by any means (Cup $8.50 Bowl $9.50).

Lunch Stuffed Chicken: The chicken itself was very flavorful & delicious - the only good part of the meal. The shrimp & crabmeat stuffing was absolutely disgusting & I rarely use that term in reviews. I took two bites of the mushy mess & left it untouched. The green beans were edible but they need to throw those out immediately. The kitchen needs to get fresh green beans & properly cook them with flavor. I've had better green beans straight out the can. The dirty rice - JUST NO! I took one bite & left it untouched. No flavor, no texture, NOTHING. They are better off using the Zatarain's box dirty rice because that was not it.

The mess that was served on that plate was disappointing. I am glad I got the lunch order because I would've sent the plate back. In my case, it wasn't worth sending back seeing as almost every meal comes with the same horrible green beans & dirty rice & I would NEVER pay $5 for a small side to replace those.

The fact this place has New Orleans in its name is sad because it is nothing compared to true NOLA creole food. People who haven't had good New Orleans food would say this place is top notch but in reality it is not. Believe the reviews that say the quality of food has went down while the pricing has went up. The pricing is a joke honestly. Just go to Razzoo's or Pappadeaux, so you don't waste your time, money or gas coming here.

Furthermore, the decor is trash. The bar area vs the dining area is so unmatched they need to renovate or shut down all together. The service however was amazing! I was seated quickly & my waitress was nice & very attentive hence the 2 stars. 1 star for the chicken & 1 star for...

Went here for my birthday and it was, without a doubt, the WORST food I've had since moving to FW. THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST. Ordered charbroiled oysters and had to send them back after only half the plate was actually charbroiled... Or even fully cooked. Sent them back and I got back a plate half charbroiled and half BURNT. I was worried about sending it back again so I kept my mouth shut the second time. The ones that aren't burnt were not bad. Then we got our main dishes: two kids meals, a lunch order of shrimp fettuccine, etouffee and jambalaya dinner, and a chicken sandwich dinner. To start with the positive... The kids were super happy with their corny dog and grilled cheese - that's all the good there was. The shrimp fettuccine - the shrimp was WAY overcooked to the point it didn't really resemble shrimp anymore. The pasta was also overcooked into almost mush. The sauce was so fishy, salty, under seasoned, and thick with cheap cheese that hours later a still can't get that taste out of my mouth. The etouffee with the substituted jambalaya tasted like something was starting to turn or maybe had be left out too long. I think it was the tomato paste that had been lumped in. We sent it back because it was completely inedible and ordered fried shrimp... It came with fries that were not bad and green beans that were barely recognizable and tasted worse than they looked. The last meal was a chicken sandwich - the chicken was under seasoned and drowning in melted cheese. My daughter was hungry and tried to eat the whole thing... Until she ran into a big tendon making the rest of the mediocre sandwich inedible. We were pleased with the service from our waiter so we were sure to tip, but he was the only one there that wasn't mouthy or rude. The female in the kitchen... I heard you running your mouth and I didn't appreciate that at all. The restaurant itself seems to be in a slight disrepair. Tables need to be fixed, the walls are cracked and plaster is missing in large...
