| - We had the level two trifecta on shrimp, dungeness crab, and "red bugs" (crawfish). We also had red potato, corn, sausage pieces, wine, and a cocktail.
My dish (the shrimp, corn, potato, and sausage) was so delicious. I will definitely return for this dish. My boyfriend enjoyed his crab and sausage. We both thought the crawfish was seasoned and cooked well, but it sure was a lot of work for so little meat. This is not a complaint about the quality of the food, merely a first-timers' observation about this type of seafood. Btw, after trying my potato and corn, my boyfriend really wished he ordered some of his own! :)
The wine was reasonably priced, only $4; but it was clearly cheap wine. This blind test was confirmed when I ordered a second glass (I know, funny; I still like the taste of Pinot Grigio, albeit watered downed, with my seafood) and the server brought the refill in the bottle with the Gallo label showing. My boyfriend's cocktail was a generous portion of a unique-tasting drink with a clear yet complex, nice, intentional flavor. It was $8, an average price for a generous portion of a fancy drink; and we both thought it was worth it.
Wearing old clothes is a good idea because it is definitely messy. Everything is served in the bag. You pluck heads off shrimp and remove insides from juicy seafood. Juice squirts. It is fun environment and experience.
At the end, they made a funny bullhorn style announcement about my birthday and brought chocolate cake. The cake was pretty meh, but the usual cost of $2 is more than fair.
We will definitely be back for shrimp, sausage, corn, and potato. I will probably want to try the gumbo.
Oh yes! We arrived by about 6 pm on a Friday night and they were sold out of soft shell crab for sandwiches, clams, and one other thing that we weren't planning on ordering anyway. It wasn't a big deal to us, but I can see some customers being disappointed. It also made me wonder why they didn't have these items so early on a Friday night.
