It was crowded as always. I expected the nearby restaurants to be good but we ate at Mad Dogs. The $13.95 burger was mediocre the fries were cold and terrible. The candied bacon was cold and floppy. Very disappointing. Then we walked over to Landry's for what we were sure would be a decadent dessert. We ordered the bananas foster and the bread pudding. Neither were even worth finishing. What a let down on food. I guess they think they have the traffic the food doesn't have to meet standards anymore.

They fill the boat until there's no more seats and everyone is practically sitting on each other's lap. Also they dont give refunds. Greedy!

A must-do... Boat Ride on Riverwalk. So beautiful to see the history and the beauty of the old buildings. The history is so fascinating.
