I wan to help, so please listen to what I got to say. This is a new place and I want it to work and be successful. Me and my family went closer to 9pm so after a dinner rush. This is usually when a restaurant proves to be high quality or low quality. As of now it proved to be low quality to me and my family.
The food was simply bad for us, and I don't mean to harp or be mean but to help.
I'm a proud cook, I'm a good cook, I want everyone to be so also. The food here was left out in either hot water to keep warm, or heating lamps. The crawfish were over cooked. The shells got brittle and became hard to peel properly. Cook crawfish to order, they do not take long at all. The crawfish also definitely sat in seasoned vats because they were extremely salty. Couldn't suck the heads of the bugs at all, way too much salt. It was saltier than the gulf. And the seasoning was very inconsistent. Some were bland while others were way too spicy, and I love spice; like habaneros spice. The boiled shrimp were the opposite almost, still over cooked and hard to peel, but bland- super bland. The corn was rubber. Corn sat in hot water for way to long, lost the pop of the kernels and felt like a tire to eat. Potatoes were bland, that's it for the potatoes- nice size though. The grilled shrimp po boy was a bit small, almost no remoulade sauce- the best part- and had shell on some of the shrimp. Just simple quality control would fix that. The grilled shrimp ended up bland also, and the sandwich just fell apart. The bread was delicious though. The hush puppies were delicious, but way too small, and burnt. The onions rings were fried perfectly but the batter lacked flavor. There is one thing that was amazing, and it was the gumbo. I reckon this is true because it's one of the only things that can sit hot for hours and be better than it was before. Everything ordered could and should be made to order, never serve old cooked food. The service was extremely fast, too fast. That's how I'm pretty sure the food just sat around in hot water/heat lamps. Me and my family were barely there an hour.
Cook your food to order and I bet it would've been an amazing dinner, it just wasn't that though. For the price, which wasn't awful, i and anyone should expect freshly cooked product at any time of day. If what others say about how good it is, is true, then my food wasn't freshly made. I hope that's the case because then it's an easy fix. I hope the owner or whoever needs to see this sees it, I don't want another local business to fail. This place needs more local spots and less corporate chains. read more
