The Trace Neighborhood Bar & Grill

Great meal. Payton our server was super! Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Had the Bayou BBQ burger, my friend the gumbo bowl. Both were served hot and delicious. Also tried their spinach dip with tortilla chips. Chips were warm and crisp. Dip was better then one I had at an upscale place recently. Totally recommend going here. Service great, food delicious and affordable. I can see dropping in frequently for a meal or to go.

I've been to each iteration of this location's restaurants. I was eager to see the latest reinvention. I'll start this by saying that I think the guy who is the manager is actually trying to do a good job. He stayed busy helping staff, talking to guests, and doing his best. Unfortunately, as a lone person at the bar who was there to work, have some drinks, and eat, I didn't get the experience I'm sure he was working for. Although there was barely anyone sitting at the bar (no more than 6 people, including me) while I was there, my service was slow and inattentive. Like I didn't matter because I was just a one-person check total. When I got there, I had a male bartender. No clue what his name was but apparently it didn't matter because over an hour later, he left without letting me know and

Rode 35 miles!! and needed to go 6 more my tank was empty! Thank goodness for The Trace. Got fueled up for the last of the ride w a quick fries and man were they hot and good!!! Really helped and they got it for me so quickly!!!

What a great local restaurant that is family friendly. Today they had a crawfish boil on the patio. The crawfish were incredible, perfectly seasoned and cooked perfect. If you stop in here you have to try the Cajun spinach dip it is so much better then most places. They also have a great selection of draft beers and mixed brinks.

Stuffed catfish was outstanding, Red Beans & Rice with a piece of Fries Catfish was out of this world. Boudin egg rolls was superb but the service was subpar. Waitress seemed to be new and not sure of a few things. She also didnt make herself avalable to check with us on our meals. Rang up our order incorrectly which caused a upcharge for side dishes which should have been included. We wanted a flight of beers to taste them or even a sample and our server told us they don't do that and she didn't know about the beers other than the names. We talked to Ariel which she said she was the manager and to come back tomorrow to make it right but we are only in town for a few days so I do feel that they would make it right the next time. We would return on the quality of food.
