"Mr. U's eighty-year-old lunch-only culinary mecca [is] a Garden District monument to New Orleans eating, where the sublime renditions of Cajun-Creole staples beat the pants off the competition; disciples dream of being spoon-fed shrimp Uggie 24 hours a day and would fight Mike Tyson for the BBQ oysters, which is why limos regularly pull up outside this ramshackle, decrepit seafooder and the wait is mind-numbing."

--Zagat 2004 New Orleans Restaurants & Nightlife Guide
