Fayrays

Recommended to us, Fayrays was amazing. Definitely coming back on our next visit to El Dorado. The food and atmosphere were amazing. We sat at the bar and had the meatloaf and the snapper with crab meat. Opted for the Brussel sprouts and Andouille sausage for the side while the creamy mash potatoes were amazing. The surprise was the cabbage side dish. Reminded us of onion soup with a kick.

Supremely disappointed, from the reviews of “fine dining” I was certainly underwhelmed by the very loud music combined with the tv on in the bar…sound overload. The service was satisfactory. The waitress was somewhat confused by my request for two separate checks, once I broke it down for her it finally rang a bell. The food was ok. I was really wanting a steak but the $55 price tag was a little more than I was prepared for, especially considering I’ve eaten at some fabulous steak houses for less with much better atmosphere. I guess the white table clothes justify the overpriced food and subpar ambiance.

We ate here tonight and it did NOT disappoint AT ALL! My husband had the meatloaf with the cabbage. He said they were both EXCELLENT! I had the chicken Alfredo and it was the best I have ever had! Of course we had to get the bread pudding to go! Just here for the week. Live in southeast Texas close to the La border, so we like well seasoned food. This is it! Ask for Mike when you go in and tell him his patrons from Texas recommended his place!

The homemade sauce. Is actually tomato gravy. In your ettoufee , your shrimp & n grits, no rue just a tomato sauce in gravy. The grits were solidified in a cake like puck under the gravy.

Crab cakes were similar to salmon patties. Very thin. Menu’s were paper and had greasy finger prints. This place used to be so good. I was so disappointed 😭 Posting in hope quality will go back up. Loved FayRay’s..
