| - Great crawfish but the other food options are rather mediocre as is the service. I've been here numerous times and the service is always painfully slow even on low traffic evenings. I'm inclined to believe staffing isn't the issue since I always see at least 5 employees working front end. We tend to average about a 5min wait to be seated, 5-10 min wait for drinks and a 20-40 min wait for food to show up, again even at off-peak times.
Regardless, the crawfish is truly great and I say this as someone with pretty high crawfish standards. I go for the Louisiana style because I love the spicy flavorful broth. Not a big fan of the other spices. The Hot N Juicy, for example, is a bit too thick for my tastes. Speaking of spice, I'd avoid anything above mild unless you have a really high spice tolerance. My buddy loves spice and his eyes were watering when he tried the Medium.
I'll add that sometimes they use corn and potato to count toward your per pound cost. Or at least it seems that way. My buddy and I did a side by side comparison of our crawfish and his was definitely considerably higher. The only difference is I ordered corn and potato and he did not.
I've also had the catfish, wings, fries, shrimp and crab, all of which were rather bland/one note. The catfish was underseasoned, the shrimp was severely overcooked and the crab was pretty thin. The cajun fries are pretty good (I'd avoid the regular fries at all costs...they lack even salt).
If you like Louisiana style crawfish, I recommend Hot N Juicy Crawfish. Just make sure you dont mind spending $13 a pound (not unreasonable for crawfish in the desert) and have a lot of time to wait. Otherwise, I'd avoid it. Frankly, nothing else on their menu is worth the time.
