| - OK, now i'm sure for those who've never lived in the south, maybe you like Baby Kays. I had a friend from college in town and we were both craving crawfish like the good little southern girls we've become (we lived in New Orleans for four years).
We got to the restaurant and it reminded me of Acme Oyster House. I thought it a good sign. We were seating outside and saw the boilers! We almost screamed we were so excited. We ordered two Abitas (mmmmmm!) but they were tapped out (dirty bitches!) so we had bloody marys instead. The bloody marys needed major tweakage; we added tabasco, pepper, and more pepper! Already, kind of a disappointment.
All around us, people were ordering the crawfish and we couldn't wait for it. We got the "5 pound" special which came with two pieces of corn, no potatoes, sausage (which my friend was craving!), or garlic (WTF?). The crawfish were decent size but the taste was awful! I think they only spiced it with tabasco sauce! our lips were burning and not in that delicious crab boil way. I mean, i know what crawfish tastes like and this was an amateur attempt. They didn't even use the proper spices or anything.
For $29.50, that's ridiculous. And for those of us that know what crawfish are supposed to cost, i'm embarrassed to have even paid over $10.
If you go, don't get the crawfish...it's a rip off. Two stars for the service.
