Tessie's Place — Restaurant in Louisiana

Called and ordered food from here when I was sick . It was so bad I had to write a review so others would know. I ordered $70 worth of food for takeout.

I had gotten some chicken noodle soup from the Hobbnober on West Metairie the day prior and it was outstanding. This day however they had a different soup of the day so I decided to try Tessie's.

Tessie's Place is a typical neighborhood joint. The exterior is rather plain, with a gravel parking area, and the interior is classic 1977. It is a clean restaurant.

This place has gone to the toilet! The last three times we placed to go orders,they totally screwed it up, no extra pork chop,waited 45 extra minutes for that, second time extra sauce paid for,did not receive,over hour wait on to go food when told 30 min!! Front of house does not have a clue what back of house is doing!!! The owner/ manager is rude & clueless as to what's going on.Such a shame because loved going there for years!!! Bye...
