Tibby’s New Orleans Kitchen serves a variety of Cajun and New Orleans style foods, including jambalaya, creole, gumbo, and po’ boys. I’ve have the blackened chicken po’ boy and the Andouille sausage po’ boy. Honestly, I wasn’t really impressed with either sandwich. Both had more of a charred flavor from the grill than any flavor from the meat. Their fried pickles are good, as are their regular and sweet potato fries.

Their beer is served in giant goblets, that look and feel a lot biggger than they are. I believe they’re only a pint, but feel like they are 20oz or more. My first time here, I placed a to-go order, and the bartender offered my fiance and I 2 free beers while we wait because one of them had poured extra by mistake. It was a great gesture, and won me over. Free beer is one of the quickest ways to my heart.

There’s a nice atmosphere with New Orleans style decorations and pictures of the area. It is family friendly. I had expected it to be more of a bar-restaurant type atmosphere, but it is not. I’d like to see live music here given the style of the place, and since New Orleans is known for live music, but I’m not sure if they have the room.

Fat Fish Blue, located in Pointe Orlando, offers New Orleans style food, but not necessarily authentic New Orleans cuisine (not that this is a bad thing). Start off with some appetizers because they have some excellent options. I tried the fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, and corn bread, they were all great. I was surprised that the fried pickles were spears rather than slices. I have to say I like slices more, but these were still good. I enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, but it was my first time ever having them, so I don’t have anything to draw for comparison. The corn bread was like a cake, and I could just as easily have had it for dessert.

Their burgers and sandwiches are pretty good. They come with sweet potato chips, sprinkled with brown sugar, a much welcomed change compared to the french fries or potato chips you get at most places. The chips were sweet, and a great compliment to the sandwiches.

Fat Fish Blue is attached to the new Orlando Improv, which makes it a great place to have dinner and a show. They have a full bar, so you can have dinner, a couple drinks, and a show, making a full night of it. Prices are slightly higher than what you would pay at similar establishments, but that’s mainly because of it being in Pointe Orlando. This is still a great place to eat, and an easy place to make an event of the night.
