just paid my tab and had to hop on here to make a review. Ask for Cindy as a server, she was amazing. She's very attentive and caring but let us our enjoy our food at the same time. The food got out fast and very good portions, extra sauce and great atmosphere.
This was my first time at this location. I have always gone to the other one on Federal, but I prefer this one because it's a lot bigger and doesn't feel as crammed. Also less likely to have to wait for a table and great for large parties. Service was really good, as well as the food. I normally get the snow crab cluster but this time I ordered both the snow crab and Dungeness crab to compare. I prefer the Dungeness crab ($1 more than the snow crab per cluster) better because the legs are a bit thicker. I also had some shrimp (headless) and clams. The corn was extra sweet, and the sausage was flavorful. I haven't been out to eat at this type of seafood place in a while, so I was shocked at how high the prices are now. We came here for a birthday, and the server brought out complimentary churros with ice cream for the birthday lady. The churros were delicious, and it was a much appreciated gesture.
I had the pleasure of having Genesis as my server!! Phenomenal service and food!! She always made sure we had drinks and check on our tables in a timely matter and answered all of our questions. This is the perfect go-to spot of you're looking for a seafood boil.
I've been coming to the other location for a long time. The federal location is a lot smaller and there was always a wait but with this location, it's not as busy. This would be a dope place to gather with a group of friends to watch the playoffs if they have bigger TVs, they do have plenty of TVs but this place is huge and the TVs need to be bigger to enjoy. Because it's so big, they are able to accommodate for bigger parties. Because of the popularity this place has, their prices are a bit higher than other Cajun places. They don't offer combo or half pound options either- which is what I prefer to be able to enjoy a little bit of everything. On their menu the have three different spice level, mild medium and XXX- I am not sure why they skipped the hot. But the XXX is a good punch and not too crazy spicy. I love the all in flavor they have, but I haven't tried the other flavors they offer. I like that it's not as oily as other places. The wings and fries are good appetizers to start off with and to help fill you up. The services is always attentive when I visit at both locations. The last visit, I was disappointed that the crawfish was as big I had from other spots esp since it's in season.
My family and I are procrastinators so we didn't make any plans for Easter. We found this place just by looking online for restaurants open on Easter, glad we did. Our waitress was very tentative, she kept coming back and making sure we didn't need anything and made sure our drinks were full. As for the food my family is from Texas so crawfish is a big deal down there and the only complaint I have about the crawfish is that I wish they were alittle bigger, that I would have gotten medium instead of mild and ordered more then just a pound. Seasoning was on point for mild in my opinion, so I can image how they would have been for medium. The Crawling Crab was very clean, family friendly. We will be back!
Delicious and fresh seafood and the chicken wings surprisingly is so good! It's always nice to get a server who is all smiles, it makes it more welcoming! The place is huge and the seating is plenty! I love the hand wash station!
Yeah! This place is an experience. My CPA recommended it to me as a fun place with good crab & he's correct. Went with the all mix spice medium and it was delicious and hot. I thought the price was reasonable. The crab & lobster were fresh. The Sauvignon Blanc wine was good and only $6 a glass. The restaurant is super clean. I'll be back...
Overall, good experience! We got the spiciest level "XXX" but... it was not spicy at all lol. They brought out their secret sauce after we asked, called "double triple x" which still was not spicy. That's fine though because you can taste the freshness of the seafood more. We also asked for recommendations and was told that crawfish is in season and whole lobsters are served. The lobster was a GOOD size and super fresh and meaty. Price was right too ($23) A couple more things: - fresh crawfish was great! - good service - only whole pounds :/ so harder to mix and match to try if in a small party without $$$ - fried banana desert was yum!
