| - So excited to hear HnJ opened a location in AZ! Of course we had to try it out! We've been to one in Vegas and it was good (sorry we still prefer BC, but we'll take what we can get in AZ). We've been going to Angry Crab in Mesa since it opened a few months ago to get our seafood fix but their crawfish are so tiny that it's just not worth it (however, their shrimp is fantastic though).
Okay, back to the HnJ review. We waited over an hour for a party of 5 on FRIDAY NIGHT. Another party waiting for a table even went and got Jack in the Box to snack during their wait, hilarious! So be prepared for a long wait because the place is not very big, plus they haven't even had their grand opening yet. I'm sure it'll get even busier so just know it's going to be a while to get a table.
Food was AWESOME! At our table we got crawfish, shrimp, clams, snow crab, corn, sausage, and fries. All of them HnJ style and a variety of mild, spicy, and extra spicy. Crawfish were nice and juicy as well as the shrimp. They don't serve headless shrimp so be aware if you aren't accustomed to shrimp with heads on them. Snow crab was decent but the clams were a disappointment. Definitely add sausage and corn though and you'll be wanting more.
Service was pretty bad but we kept an open mind that they had just opened so I'm sure they're still working out the kinks and trying to keep up with the crowd. The table next to us (that was seated after us) was greeted, waited on, and ordered before anyone even came to take our drink order. When a server finally asked if we'd been helped we put in our drink order and food order altogether. It took forever to get our drinks and all of the food. The food came out staggered so not everyone in our party had their food at the same time. The clams took forever to come out and we had to ask the server about them 5-6 times. Finally we were done eating everything else and I decided to just cancel the clams because we were ready to go... Well that's when the clams magically appeared. The clams were definitely not worth the wait.
Overall it was really tasty and we'll be back for sure. Hopefully the service will be more on point next time. Just make sure you don't have any other plans because it'll take a long time! Oh and it's really loud in there and mostly Asian diners.
Timeline:
7:05pm - Put in our name for table of 5, was told it'd be about 30-35min wait. (We walked over to Slickables for pre-dinner dessert to kill some time)
8:30pm - Seated at a table
10:05pm - Paid the check (we didn't sit around chatting or anything either, we pretty much ate and paid. It's because service was so slow and the clams took forever).
