Response
Mr. Walters. Thank you so much for responding to my husbands review. Since apparently the person that was your partner did not respond to any of the complaints or dissatisfaction that we had. We hope that you regain your restaurants soon and we would be happy to join you for dinner. It is such a shame what used to be a wonderful place to go for dinner is now being run by someone who is not in my opinion a professional business person. Once again, thank you for at least caring about something that was started and created by you. Best of luck and we hope that you regain what should be yours!

Bad, Bad, Bad
I shake my head when thinking of the dinner my Wife and I had earlier this week. All I can say is there must have been a cafeteria cook behind the line and no culinary trained individual. The food we recieved was bland at best. Furlong's had a reputation for authentic Louisiana cuisine...there was nothing authentic the night we spent there. A large sampler platter greeted us with overcooked sausage, dry stuffed mushrooms, and tasteless catfish bites. Only the crawfish tail tenders had any real taste. Next, the shrimp and grits might just be the worst I have ever had. Five inconsequental shrimp drowned in a very bland sauce and grits were almost comical. Entrees were slightly better. My Wife's boulibasse was no where authentic and the recipe must have just been "made up." I was not even sure the grouper I ordered was the fish that ended up on my plate. Certainly did not taste like grouper. All in all a very, very bad experience. I have worked almost twenty years in the food service industry and have seen alot, but never seen such an all encompassing disappointing experience. I will say this, the service was outstanding, the Gentleman rose well above the stature of his employer.
