| - Okay guys, I know it's been a hot minute since I have done a review, sorry :(
Where do I start? I love trying out a new place, especially if its local. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and I hear crickets. Not a good start. The set up is pretty simple, tables chairs, minimalist? Yes!
The Guy tells us to sit wherever. Sitting down, I had a not so good gut feeling about this place but decided that I'm going to brave it and give it a shot. The server was very nice and did his best to provide us with answers. Here's what's on the menu...
Shrimp 10.99/lb lemon pepper, medium.
Add sausage
Sweet potato fries
Parmesan garlic fries
The shrimps came out in this ridiculously thick and heavy duty plastic bag. Are you going to vacuum deal my leftovers? All I could smell at this point is melting plastic, not my favorite. Inside the bag, a think layer of oil and garlic. I tried one shrimp and it was flavorless but oily. It looks to me like they tried to make it spicy by using chili oil instead of a good blend of spices. I'm not sure where the "pepper" part of the seasoning was but it was garlic infested. I had to send my shrimps back because it was not appetizing to me at all.
It really disappoints me to think that someone can open a crab shack and compete with hot and juicy. If you want to compete, you have to be at least just as good, if not, BETTER. You're wasting food and time doing a half ass job by using cheap and useless ingredients.
The only thing I can recommend to anyone who wants to give this place a shot is order the sweet potato fries. Service is good, food is terrible. Please just go to Hot n' Juicy. Even though they don't know how to be good servers, at least you're going to pay for great food.
Happy eating everyone :) ciao
