If you're looking for a different type of restaurant experience -- this place is it.
I realized that as I stuck my hand (plastic gloves and bib provided) deep into the bag of tasty butter sauce to first pluck off a snow crab leg and then a boiled potato. I crackeded open the leg -- half-closing my eyes to avoid flying shell fragments -- and pulled out the yummy meat that had soake dup the butter it was cooked in. After doing that couple of more times I tossed the mangled leg into a basket and then took a bite out of the potato, sans knife and fork.
The meal was messy and primal but it was also perfectly cooked, errr, boiled, and lightly seasoned with Cayenne. I had ordered the 1 lb. of snow crab legs ($22) and a side of potatoes ($3) and they came out about 10-15 muinutes later in a steaming plastic bag that sat in a small bucket. But you can also order everything from shrimp to lobster tails and other sides like corn and sausage and they would all come the same way.
There are also other menu items for those not looking to get messy.
Now, Jeannene didn't enjoy it as much since (1) she thinks plain white toast is too spicey and at this restaurant everything seems to have at least a pinch of cayenne; and (2) she doesn't like to get messy eating her food and the messiness factor here is much higher than eating wings or ribs, even with plastic gloves and bib!
She had gone with the crab roll sandwich and Bombdiggity fries ($15), merely shaking her head at the mess I was making. And even the cayenne sprinkled on the sandwich and fries was too much for her (Thus learning why they are called Bombdiggity fries).
We just went with soft drinks but their drink menu looks like as much fun as the food and I will be back to try one of their mixed drinks in a "Booze Bag."
The ambiance here is very casual with large-screen TVs showing the Cavs game and the ceilings are high, the floor is cement and the music is loud so it's kind of hard to hear. But despite that, there were a lot of large groups here on a early Sunday evening enjoying a family meal.
