| - Experience: I was in the neighborhood, hungry, and checked YELP for what I had bookmarked. My friend thought she had a Groupon, so that settled it...Boiling Crab for lunch.
Facility: this is kinda tucked away in the inside of a shopping centers facing away from the street. It is a fairly good size place with some booths and chairs and tables for seating. It had some cool artwork on the wall created from bottle caps.
Service: One the waitresses was nice enough, but was a little irritating when we asked for XXX on the scale. She said are you sure? And both of us said yes...then she continued to tell us this is like "blazing" at BWW. Ok? I think we already told you twice what we wanted. So we then said yes again, we are sure. Funny thing is, it actually wasn't even that hot. Other than that the service was pretty good.
Food: I ordered fried oysters and a bowl of Gumbo. My friend got the pound of shrimp with the everything favors and XXX heat. I tasted her shrimps and they were cooked good, but it was just too sweet for me.
My Fried Oysters [3.5/5] were cooked pretty good. They came with a Sriacha type sauce that was waaaaayyy too sweet, but luckily I ordered the tarter sauce on the side already.
Then I tried the Gumbo [4/5] which was surprisingly tasty. It had a little bit too much of a spice I could not place, but it was still good. Glad it actually had okra in it, and they served it popping hot!
Overall: the food was decent, so I'm not sure how to explain this, but there's just nothing that makes me want to go back. It was better to me than Hot and Juicy, but again, maybe it's a Louisiana thang, where I'm just not being fair to anyone claiming Creole or Cajun food. You better bring it. Anyway, might come back if friends are coming, but probably not on my own.
