Tracey's

Stumbled on this place and loved the wings and sweet potato fries so much we made a detour and came back a couple days later. The chef at the back whips up simple tasty fresh pub fare with a smile. Prices are super reasonable and refreshing after spending days in the French quarter tourist traps. On your visit through Garden City district, make this a stop on magazine street.

The Ruben and shrimp plate were good. My experience was disappointing though. You had to order your food at the counter and your drinks at the bar which was fine but could have been more clearly instructed. I had my mouth all set for crawfish but when I went to the counter to order, was told I had to go out front to order them. I went out front and no one was there. I found someone to ask and was told they quit serving crawfish at 7 (we got there at 730). There was nothing posted at the restaurant or online stating that. I asked about oysters and was told you had to go to the opposite corner of the restaurant/bar to order those but that the guy who does them wasn't there today. They had run out of Blue Moon beer. If not for the atmosphere, this would have been worth 2 maybe 3 stars. Tuesday is apparently trivia night and the fun atmosphere made me wish I was a regular. I think it would be a blast to go there weekly.
