I could go on forever but i won't The best appetizer to get the the Spinach and Artichoke dip. Served with warm tortilla chips, this makes an excellent starter. The rest of the appetizers are of the fried variety. They are good but could use one or two different types. the soups are good, as is the gumbo. Either of them would make a great starter.
The most popular dish at Cannon's is the Cajun Popcorn Salad. Cannon's is the originator of the fried popcorn shrimp placed on a bed of lettuce. This is served with Cannon's famous Honey Mustard Dressing. If you eat one of these, you will have no need for your next meal. All of the salads are good. Cannon's makes a wonderful Caesar Dressing. Any of the large Caesar Salads make a good choice.
The new dishes are 2 veal dishes, Veal Cheri & Veal Reginald, and Chicken Oysters Rockafella. The Veal Cheri is what is known as Veal Monica in other restaurants, Veal topped with Creamy Crawfish Sauce. The Veal Reginald is veal topped with sauteed mushrooms and Hollandaise Sauce. The Chicken is the same as the previous Florentine but with fried oysters added. I think that your best bet is to stick with the regular items.
The Baby Back Ribs, Grilled Chicken dishes, and the Pork Chops are a good bet if the grillman is capable. If not, then there is a good chance that your dinner will not be cooked correctly.
Cannon's used to have the best burgers on the westbank, Thay are still good but they seem to never be cooked right. The Canadian Bacon Burger, topped with hickory saucee, is the best.
Cannon's does a good job with seafood. They offer the usual fried Catfish, Oysters, and Shrimp. They do a good job of grilling fish. They always have Tuna or Salmon. But if you are there for lunch on Friday, I highly suggest that you get the Creole Catfish. This is a fried catfish fillett topped with a great shrimp creole sauce. I amy be partial since this is my creation.
The side items are Fries, Baked Potato, Sweet Poatao Fries, Vegetables, and Garlic Mashed Poataos. The last item is new. It is good the first time you try it, but I think it will grow old.
The dessert to get is the Fudge Nut Brownie. This Item is cooked in house and is served warm topped with ice cream.
The service is like night and day. If you go to lunch you will find some of the better wait personel on the westbank. At night, it is a gamble. It is the same way with the food quality. If you want to eat here, do it for lunch. Or try to find one of the good servers. Ask for Missy, Cheri, Kelly, Thersa, Jessica, Angela, or Jason D. These are some of the best around.
Cannon's used to be one of the best on the westbank. They have a long way to go to reclaim their place. I think their menu prices are outrageous. They need to do a major overhaul on the menu. The service needs to improve as well as the food consistancy. If you would line to discuss this further, drop me a line. We could talk for hours on this subject.
