Let me start off by saying that the food was great, and with a name like HJ's I thought I was in for a good time. Unfortunately this review is going to burn a bit more than the "extra hot" n spicy seasoning.
When we first arrived we were given a wait time of 10 minutes. Cool. We stood and waited for 15 minutes...then I was able to check a month's worth of emails, check all social networking sites, and watch 3 other groups that arrived before us still waiting. 35 minutes later the host says "I'm sorry I worked at the Vegas location and didn't know how their wait times worked here." Oh thank you for telling us you had no idea what you're doing sir.
Apparently a party of 30 people decided to stick around doing absolutely nothing but talk and let their kids run around like pint sized tyrants having sword fights with crab crackers. I was in the sandbox corner it was a nightmare. Granted this is not their fault, but it wasn't helping. Our server was quick to greet us and take our order.
Ok, good. Things are getting better. 20 minutes pass and my boyfriend receives his bag of food. Our server quickly scuttled away like the crab legs I still hadn't received. I asked when the rest of the food will be out and he said "I'm sorry man the kitchen is really backed up right now."
*scuttles away*
Why the hell would you serve half of a tables food? I now had the pleasure of watching my boyfriend eat his crawfish for 15 minutes until I received my food.... And we were still missing our sides...10 minutes pass and I ask about them. The server acts as if he had no idea what I was talking about and scuttled back to grab our fries.
So for a grand total of 1 1/2 hours we finally BOTH had our food. It was great, but we won't ever be coming back. Every person who works here is just as baked and clueless as the bags of crawfish they're serving.
(Also noticed another girl mentioned this in her review, but they randomly decided to wheel a giant trash bin throughout the floor instead of taking it out back. Nothing better than looking at 30 pounds of half eaten food while eating.)
