I saw the 4.7 rating so was excited to get a good taste of Louisiana food. I walked there from the Hilton for early dinner. There was no atmosphere to speak of. I was nicely greeted at the door but I was alone so sat at the bar. Bartender was attentive “once” She knew I was there. She was nice enough, however kept talking over me. I got the Cajun sampler.. and paid extra to add a piece of cornbread. It was all average, at best. The gumbo was a cup full of white rice with a couple pieces of shrimp and a little soup stock which may have been tasty if there was not so much rice in it, which came before the meal, the étouffée was the exact same dish but in a different shaped bowl on the plate with the meal. There was an overcooked piece of PAPER-THIN blackened catfish, which actually was the only flavorful thing of the dish. I chose fried okra as an option.. which was tasteless but it was what you could expect from fried okra with no spices in the coating. There was supposedly a pile of “fried crawfish tails” which was a pile of fried coating with an occasional tiny piece of mystery meat, gave the impression of “tiny popcorn shrimp?” again flavorless, and tough with a sweet sauce on the side that did nothing for it. There was a small cob of corn that was battered and deep fried which was... well the batter came off in one piece it looked dried out and unappetizing and under it there was a little 1/4 of regular corn on the cob. Flavorless. Oh, and the meat pies, they were puffed up and mostly hollow with a small amount of meat pie mixture on one side which I think wasn’t bad if there would have been enough to taste it. The cornbread I added because it was recommended, was not the worst cornbread I have ever had, but it was heavy and not very flavorful. I took it with me, to go, and handed it to a homeless man on my way back to the Hilton. I hope he enjoyed it. I will have to say I did enjoy a beer they offered on draft, it was a dark lager called “reasonably corrupt” from a local brewery “Great Raft Brewing” so kudos to the local brewery for giving me something to enjoy with my otherwise mediocre dinner at the Blind Tiger. I hope you have better luck, trying a different dish!!! Oh and the dish on the menu said it was $21 but I spent $60 including the cornbread, 2 beers and a tip. Being nice giving 2 stars.
