| - This edition of Excited about Eating takes us to a new place in Cabarrus County and to Full Moon Oyster Bar. Now I can truly say, I have never been to an oyster bar and was not sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find a friendly, welcoming restaurant offering a wide variety of seafood entrees along with some beef and chicken specialties.
Dora here. Cozy up to the bar and prepare to know your neighbors. For being a new place in town, this oyster bar filled up fast! If you don't like eating on bar stools, this probably wouldn't be your cup of tea. But we enjoyed the change of pace, and the friendly servers tag team, so your drink never runs out and the food came out fast.
While waiting for our meal, they offered complimentary steamed seasoned potatoes and cole slaw. The potatoes were great, cut into rectangle chunks with skin on, seasoned perfectly with great flavor. The slaw was creamy with just the right amount of sweetness.
For my lunch, I chose the Alaskan Snow Crab, 1-1/3 pounds of steamd snow crab seasoned in Old Bay spice. The crabs were steamed to perfection, tender, very fresh and came with four huge clusters, plenty for a lunch meal. Dora here. To all our male readers. Just in case you were wondering...this much Old Bay changes your facial hair color. lol.
Dora here. Usually I sit across from hubby when he eats crabs. I joke that I'm the one who needs a bibb, not him. Kinda nice sitting next to him this time.
Still Dora. Ernie admitted that, although these crabs were lip-smacking tender and incredibly fresh, the portion doesn't quite compare to Hannah Flanagan's's all-you-can-eat crabs on Sunday evenings. But for those times he's craving crabs and we can't spare the four-hour round trip and the three hours to eat...
Dora again. Check out the Crab Cake sandwich! Ginormous, isn't it? Trust me, there wasn't a crumb left from this sandwich on my plate. Smooth and not too seafoody, which was great because I'm not a huge seafood fan and this was one of a handful of menu items that called out to me. I only took a bite of the creamy potato salad because I scooped up all of that complimentary slaw. Oops.
Still Dora. This place reminds me of Cheers, a local hangout where everybody knows your name. Even though I'm not a seafood fan, hubby is, so we'll be back. ~Ernie & Dora Hiers, Fiction Faith & Foodies Blog
