Mortimer's Restaurant

Serves a wide variety of home-cooked style food. Dated interior with wood-paneled walls and various local memorabilia present a cozy atmosphere making it an ideal place to meet and catch up with a friend, or host a gathering in one of their rooms. Large food portions of good tasting food make it a worthwhile place to check out. Service was fast and friendly - - - and patient (we held up ordering until the last of our group arrived some 20 minutes late). I've been there a couple of times and this has always been my experience.

The atmosphere says whites only. It was hot where my party sat, no music like the rest of the restaurant. We asked the waitress about it and she said let me see what is going on with it and she never came back. Then we asked about the TV she said there was no remote for it and never came back. My party was a total of 9 people and our bill was $340.00 I think we could have had a little better service. All of the pictures on the walls were of white people. What's wrong with this picture. We stayed and tried to make the best out of it.

My friend and I were shopping at Lowe’s and decided to try Mortimer’s for dinner. I ordered the seafood gumbo as appetizer and Snapper Pontchartrain for my main course, along with a house salad and Italian spinach. The gumbo was excellent. I like a soupy gumbo as opposed to a thick one and this one was all that. The only thing that bothered me was the first bite of the snapper. I got a piece of the skin on the bottom of my first bite. It was tough. Otherwise, the fish was really good. The spinach was really a treat. I love the way it was prepared. I texted my daughter and asked if I could bring her home something and she asked for the french dip. She said it was the best she has ever had. Our server’s name was Anastasia and she was top notch. So overall, a very pleasant experience.

Been here many times and never disappoints. Southern comfort food, oysters, sandwiches, salads, they got you covered at a reasonable price. Plenty of local beer on tap, full bar, which is comfortable, and seating all around. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. The only somewhat drawback that can't be helped is the parking, though there is room on the street and a lot across the street (not sure if that is legal though).
