    Family Meal
    Simon C.

    We came in to celebrate our daughter's birthday on a Sunday afternoon. The place was quiet for the most part. The food was amazing! We have a party of 10 so I don't know if that played a roll but the only thing I could say is the waiter could have been more attentive with us since it was slow there. Had to ask multiple times for the same things and also had to ask for refills as well.

    Decent restaurant if you want crab legs. They have an all day special where you can either buy 2lbs of crab legs (about $60) and get a lb free, or buy a combo and get a side free. We started with 2 appetizers, the Mac and cheese balls and the lobster fries. We really enjoyed the Mac and cheese balls ($6.99). The lobster fries ($14.99)were okay, not very heavy on the lobster whatsoever. We decided to share the combo with the 1/2 lb snow crab legs, 1/2 lb shrimp, and lobster tail. Our included free side was a 1/2 lb sausage. It also came with a 1/4 corn on the cob and a few potato's as well. They didn't ask us what we wanted in terms of spice or flavors but it seemed they did a garlic butter which is what we would have chosen. For a Pepsi and sweet tea and the above the total came to about 75 dollars before tip. The ambiance was kind of like a joes a crab shack. The service was not great, but not terrible. I probably wouldn't return but glad I tried it out.

    Sunday for lunch

    When we came on Sunday for lunch and saw the place completely empty I was getting ready to run ‍ but since I was wearing my running should I decided to stay. And I am glad that I did ! It's been a while since I've had some creole food and It didn't disappoint ! Seasoning was good, portions were reasonable and the server did a good job in my opinion. I am glad to have this type of food as an option not too far from Wake Forest. The reason why I couldn't give the extra star is because I didn't find Crab du jour very affordable so I would have to save it for a special occasion. Furthermore the ambiance was not the best as this place was pretty empty. Will I come back? Yes but not too often.

    For good food and fun times , check out Crab Du Jour. I specifically went on a Thursday as I learned they had a DJ at 6pm but after 7pm it turned into karaoke night as well. Located in Plantation Point Shopping Center .. next to Red Bowl, you can find plenty of free parking spots in the parking lot. I arrived around 5:30pm and was able to get a spot out front. I chose to sit at the bar initially and ordered a Lemon Drop Martini made with Absolut Citron but if you have another vodka preference, the bartender will customize it for you. They offer $2 off certain cocktails as well and I took advantage of that special and got a Pirate Mule similar to a Moscow mule. I closed out my tab to go sit at table. * warning gratuity is already added to check even thought it doesn't say it on receipt At the table, Xavier provided great service despite the large crowd that started coming in after 7 for this special night. I ordered a crab boil bag with Snow Crab Legs with Du Jour sauce ( a combo of all the spices : Garlic Butter, Lemon Peppet, Old Bay). And asked for medium spice level. He explained it comes with one corn and two potatoes but can add more if you choose for additional costs. I thought the food was tasty and the 1 lb = 2 clusters was plenty for me.

    I'm from out of state, I feel that's important to note because maybe people that's from here like this, but I would give this definitely a three out of 10. Ordered my food to go in person, there were huge water bugs that were dead in the to go area, but since the bugs were very close to the front door, I just figured that's how they got in and it wasn't necessarily a representation of the food quality. The corn in my boil bag was extremely old, the potatoes were old as well and you could tell because they were discolored severely. The house sauce lacks erious seasoning. However, the restaurant was packed, it seemed like people were enjoying themselves. All reviews you see that are mentioning the staff members not delivering great customer service is true. When I walked into place my order, the young lady was on her personal cell phone, giggling, and smiling. I had to tell her, although I was standing there with the menu in my hand, that I was ready to order, and she told me to wait a minute. There was also a guy, no uniform, but he came from the back and asked us did we need any additional help when we declined he pulled out his cell phone and started talking on the phone giving someone directions to get to the restaurant. Lastly, in the to go area, there were at least a dozen orders ready And someone's order got mixed up, you could hear the associates talking smack about the customer although the restaurant is the one that messed up the order. I don't think employees should visibly be on their phones, and if you are, you do need to acknowledge the customer the moment they walk in, we also should not speak ill on anyone within earshot of anyone else.

    Make your Own - Crab Legs and Shrimp (head-off) with boiled eggs, potatoes, and Corn on the Cob with De Jour Special on Medium Spice Level
    Kaylaa A.

    First time trying this place, also first time ever tasting a southern cajun broil. The place was spacious and nice, and cozy. There's a nice bar area, booth area and space for larger parties. I was impressed by the space and use of decor. I ordered "Make your Own" with Snow Crab Legs and Shrimp (head-off), along with potatoes and corn. I also ordered some boiled eggs to go in my bag. The sauce I chose was the De Jour Special (which is all the sauces mixed) and Medium Spice Level. It was good! I'm typically a picky person, but the food was clean, hot and delicious! Next time I will order some more sides and try the Hot Spice Level. Other than that, me and my party were satisfied!!! My friends ordered: "Make Your Own" crab legs and shrimp (head-on) plus two boiled eggs in Mild, "Make Your Own" crab legs and black mussels with sausage and boiled eggs on mild de jour special, and "Make Your Own" green mussels and crab legs with boiled eggs and Hot De jour special. The service was good, very helpful. He made sure that we had everything we needed and more, I have no complaints at all. I will definitely order from here again. (I only have videos, no pictures but I will screenshot).

    Unfortunately, not a great experience here. We were celebrating a milestone and we chose Crab Du Jour, it was a letdown. Service was the biggest issue. Took quite a while to even get our drink order placed, we were waiting on our server to show up. The food was meh. The fried mac and cheese was pretty bad. It actually tasted like it was from a package from the frozen section of the grocery store. My fried shrimp were average. I chose the Cajun fries, only had a few. Undercooked and basically zero seasoning. My dinner guest chose the crab legs with shrimp boil, with lemon butter seasoning. She enjoyed her meal. We were given no silverware, no plates, no crab cracking utensils. I asked for silverware, our server looked surprised. She brought us each one fork... I asked for the crab cracking utensil - she said, "oh! We were cleaning them." Hmmm $70 before tip for a completely lackluster meal with pretty poor service. One and done. Tons of parking, if you want to give them a try.

    Crab legs. Scallops. Shrimp. Corn on the cob. Red potatoes. In a lemon pepper and Cajun mild sauce.

    Shrimp broils with the signature sauce can't be beat. Lots of flavor. I once bought it for a camping trip. We devoured it of course.

    The food is decent. It's certainly place where you'll get a bit messy. The plastic forks and styrofoam plates cheapen the experience.

    This is absolutely a hidden gem amongst bars. It's in an inconspicuous abandoned looking shopping…read morecenter off the beaten path, but they make some of the best cocktails in the city. They have a very extensive inventory of bourbons including all the high-end ones you would want. The bartenders making amazing recipes including my partners favorite, Tom Yum, taste just like the soup. I can often enjoy a whiskey sour with no issue and use the menu to try something different. They don't serve food, so it's a good place to come after dinner. The ambiance is simple, a wooden bar and now that they have expanded, they have some tables as well. This past trip was the most crowded I've ever seen it in there, but the service was still quick and attentive. This bar is a staple for me.

    Style, perfection, grace, uniqueness - and well, I'll just say it - what fine establishment this is…read moreand what a treat to visit. For those that follow me on Yelp for brewery reviews, cocktail bar reviews are few and far between. So if I make a point of making a visit, it really is special. Great selection of product (I guess) but what I appreciate is the care and attention each glass is prepared by the bar keep. They are very friendly and knowledgeable - which is good for me, b/c I ask a lot of questions! Service is careful, but does crawl if the house is full, it really is tiny inside - did you know there was a back door, patio area? I particularly like the absence of having to yell at my table mates - it makes this barbour more sophisticated in this respect.Everything, right down to the outside marquee is subtle - and we like leaving the madding crowd far away...

    What a cool spot! I found this off a Reddit thread and I honestly would have never known otherwise…read more It's located in a tucked away strip mall off Litchford, it has a big patio but inside it has walls of whisky (the largest collection in the southeast apparently). We grabbed a few spots at the bar and live music was playing outside on this beautiful evening, lots of families buzzing around. The bartenders were really good, knowledgeable, and on it. I had the cocktail of the week which was a gin and Prosecco concoction and hubby had draft pumpkinhead, it's the season. Both good choices! They have TVs if you want to watch the game and big tables to just chill. I'm assuming you can bring in food too from the nearby spots. Overall loved this hidden gem! We will be back!

I'll admit, seeing it next to a Food Lion didn't exactly set the bar high, but the moment I walked in and saw the massive wall of bottles stretching to the ceiling, I knew I'd misjudged it. The bartender with the blue hair was outstanding. (Did her job so well I cannot remember her name for the life of me). She explained how everything worked, pointed us toward great beer options in the back cooler, and then really impressed us by taking time to understand both my taste and my friend's despite us having totally different bourbon preferences. She gave thoughtful recommendations at multiple price points and tailored each suggestion specifically to what we liked. Knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely fun to talk to. The regulars were friendly, the atmosphere felt welcoming, and the whole place has that hidden-gem neighborhood vibe you hope to find when traveling. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town and I'll be on the lookout for a few bottles thanks to her recommendations.

I say this because Northside Bistro never disappoints on service and also with food. Thank you Chef John Scarangella!

I even went with 7 ladies last year and we were in the same area, bigger table. It would be nice to sit inside of the main dining room one of these days. last night we had great service as usual and the food was amazing.
