Fiorella's Chicken?

I%26#39;ve found scattered and mixed reports from the last couple years here and elsewhere but I thought I%26#39;d check in for an up-to-the-minute update. What%26#39;s the current state of fried chicken at Fiorella%26#39;s. Is it back to it%26#39;s old heavenly self? Is it merely a pleasant memory to hang onto and move on? Has it become simply hit-or-miss and therefore maybe worth a roll of the dice? Just looking for anyone who has eaten there recently. I haven%26#39;t been back to the Easy since Katrina and I know things have been in a state of flux the last couple years so what was so a year ago may not be so today. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I%26#39;d recommend that you ';move on'; to another place. Fiorella%26#39;s is still dirty and has terrible service most of the time. It%26#39;s just not a pleasant experience any longer...and this coming from a guy who LOVED their fried chicken for years.

Fiorella's Chicken?

I returned from NOLA Sunday night, Jan 11/09. I haven鈥檛 been there for almost 20 years. I stumbled on Fiorella鈥檚 on Decateur. The service from my particular server was wonderful 鈥?very personable. I simply couldn鈥檛 comment on the other staff, just don鈥檛 know. I had the Red Beans and Rice (and sausage). I was stunned at how much flavour there was. It was absolutely excellent. I was so impressed that when I left I strongly recommended the dish to a lady looking at the menu outside the restaurant. I cannot comment on any other menu item though. Sorry, I don%26#39;t know how the fried chicken is. The dish was only $8.75....hardly a risk to try that one.

Sorry to vehemently disagree with the last poster-the place has become a %26#39;pit%26#39; and the rustic atmosphere at one time has become run down decrepit and dirty and that includes the kitchen. It would take an extreme makeover to ever make me try it again and I loved their fried chicken and baby backed ribs and macaroni and cheese.

Yup, I have to agree with the above. The days of Fiorella%26#39;s have long past, and they are in major need of a makeover. If you want good fried chicken, just go to Coop%26#39;s Place, which is nearby.

We just visited New Orleans again for Mardi Gras, and it looked like Fiorella%26#39;s got a little bit of a facelift. The inside looked cleaner, and maybe had some fresh paint. I noticed there were more people eating inside than the last time we visited in March 2008. I hope, for their sake, that they%26#39;ve improved the food and service since March 08, because they had taken a real dive in quality back then compared to how it was when we visited a few years earlier.

Fiorella%26#39;s just opened a new, smaller place on Conti between Royal and Chartres. We%26#39;ve eaten there a handful of times and the chicken was spot-on. Tasted like the Fiorela%26#39;s chicken of old.
