3 stars, maybe 3.5 but im rounding down for this joint.
We went here and to hot n juicy (competitor)--a few major difference that really made one enjoyable and one not so much, we went to HJ first then were told by a few people that boiling crab was a LOT better....well they were a LOT wrong.
Service was 10x better at the other place
Calamari was 100x better at boiling crab
Shrimp were 100x better at other place (all different small sizes at bc, exact opposite at hj)
Clams were 10x better at boiling crab
Mussels were 100x better at other place
We requested extra sauce on the side and we didnt mind paying, they said no they wont do it....REALLY? Pour some sauce in a styro cup and take our effing money!!! what the hell....other place offered to do it, we didnt even have to ask.
Other place sells bread to dip into the sauce, this place will tell u to bring ur own or go buy it from the market next door....REALLY? I am about to set up a bread van outside on the weekend and sell it by the loaf.
This place used to charge .25c for a cup of water....seriously? People go in there spending a minimum of $10/lb on multiple pounds, and you want to charge the people 25 fricken cents for water?!?!?!?! unbelievable.
overall the service was a big factor, it wasnt nearly as good as the other place. The food was ok, maybe even a better sauce, but not enough to sway me. Other place is 5 stars.
