| - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cheap drink specials and buckets/plastic baskets of seafood are A-OK, but the star of Vinnie's?
***THE LIVE LOBSTER CLAW GAME***
This game is cruel, and hilarious, and absurd, all at the same time. Think of those claw vending machine games you pay $1 or 50-cents for at the front of Wal-Mart stores. You move a metal claw and it picks up a stuffed Care Bear if you're lucky and got claw skillz.
INSTEAD OF STUFFED UNICORNS, YOU GET TO PICK UP LIVE LOBSTAHS. AHHHHHHHH!
How wrong is this? Imagine you're an animal, and a giggling teenager (or adult husband) is paying $2 to pluck you from your tank, and EAT YOU! I've seen lobsters help each other out. If a fellow crustacean friend is in the jaws of the metal claw, another lobster will reach out and save it, by latching on.
It's a sad, horrifying sight...but simply fascinating! I can't stop watching! My husband can't stop playing! It's like The Hunger Games....SEAFOOD STYLE! When you do get a lobster in your grips, Vinnie's will steam it for you, free.
Oh yeah. The rest of the food is okay. I grew up in New England, so I've had my share of good crab legs and clams and oysters. The boiled potatoes and corn are either mushy or rubbery and overdone. The food at Vinnie's is mediocre...but it's the lobster claw game that gives the restaurant 3 stars, not 2.
