| - First visit and I wanted to give myself a day to really think about this, before giving a two star review. They use MSG, and they use a lot of it!
The food was good (while we were eating) but by the time my party got to the car--two of us were suffering immediate allergic reactions. By the time we got home, all of us didn't feel good. It's been 24 hours since we ate and I'm still sick. Massive headache, dehydration, itchy, red skin etc. Every symptom I get, when I'm exposed to high levels of MSG.
Besides that, The restaurant in general is really odd. It has a plank wood interior (cool idea, you feel like you should be eating fish when you're in there) but most of it is covered in graffiti. There are signs everywhere that they're doing a renovation. There are warnings on paper signs saying that if you write on the "clean wood", you will be fined or in trouble etc. There's also a big sign that says you will be prosecuted if you "dine and dash". There are security cameras facing every table and hired security at the door. What am I at nightclub? Am I missing something here? Very unusual thing to see at a restaurant like that. They obviously have issues with something. Not going to revisit to find out what.
We had to wait a while to sit even though the place wasn't crowded by any means.
The only food issue we had was with the clams, there was one clam to every 3 shells in the bag. Weird. Don't rip people off, it's not cool.
The only other crawfish restaurant I've been to, is hot and juicy. I think we are definitely going to stick to what we know and not return to the boiling crab. Sorry guys, it's not worth getting sick over.
It's petty but I have to mention because I am a woman that spends a lot of money on my nails.... They don't carry gloves. I know it might be traditional to eat with your bare hands, but not everybody want to get that dirty.
The reason why I gave two stars instead of one was because the food was pretty good, we just was nice but other than that.... big no. Maybe take the food to go if you like MSG... if not, go elsewhere!
