| - I'm all for a little competition in the crawfish world - but Cajun Crawfish is definitely not up for the challenge. I was super hesitant with all the negative reviews, but still kept in open mind.
It's a large restaurant space with additional seating in the back around the corner with TVs abound However, it's a pretty sterile environment, blame it on the high ceilings.
We started out with two pounds of Crawfish ($9.99/lb) with their House Special seasoning and Medium spice level. (They have a warning that says their "spicy level is two levels higher than normal".) The Husband did ask ahead of time if the crawfish was big and fresh, and the waitress said it was. She also pointed out the tank in the back so we could have a look. (I did walk over there to take a peek and noticed they had lobster and clams in the tanks too.) You also get one side of corn and potato for order two pounds or more of crawfish.
When our order arrived in a silver bowl, we noticed a difference right away. This wasn't the way we wanted our crawfish, and that was our mistake. The Husband asked for some lime, salt and pepper to make a dipping sauce, but that couldn't help this crawfish. Sure, they were large, but they were also dried out. There was no head juice to suck out at all. When you break the head off, you can tell there's something wrong immediately. And the sauce in the bottom of the bowl is this watered down concoction of something or other. I don't think it's as fresh as they say it is, the ones in the tank are just for show I think!
The staff were friendly, and really anxious to refill our beverages. But it couldn't make up for the sad crawfish. We left after our two pounds and headed up Spring Mountain for Hot N Juicy Crawfish instead.
We didn't order the famous shrimp that gets all the ravings, but did see some on someone else's table, and they were large indeed. But then again, this restaurant is called Cajun Crawfish, not Cajun Shrimp.
I did ask if they had any grand opening specials (especially since other yelpers mentioned it), but we were told they weren't offering them anymore. However, I did notice an ad offering a discount on beverages just the other day. Oh well.
Overall, Cajun Crawfish doesn't measure up for good crawfish the way I like it. Sorry.
06.07.10 Update! In a recent magazine article, they are changing their name from Cajun Crawfish to The Crawdaddy Crab House. Hope that helps with business!
