| - Admittedly, we only came here because HnJ had a line 45 minutes long, we were hungry, and Cajun Crawfish (CC) could seat us right away. We had been to HnJ several times in the past, driving right past Cajun Crawfish (CC), due to previous poor Yelp reviews. We're glad that we took the chance, and would definitely come again.
12 of us rolled in around 9 p.m. (this place is open until midnight on a Sunday night). We were seated right away in the back area, near the Karaoke and the dart boards. A fish tank was present, storing live crabs and crawfish. The kiddies got a kick out of watching them swim about.
We ordered what we would normally order at HnJ--2 lbs crawfish each, medium or spicy, house special sauce. I changed it up a bit, getting a fresh dungeness crab. I was surprised and pleased to see that they grabbed a crab from the tank--nothing like fresh seafood.
The wait time was short, and the food piping hot. The broth used to season/spice up the offerings was more souplike, rather than pasty like HnJ, and very flavorful. Dipping the Cajun fries in the soup is a must, as is dipping the corn and potatoes into the broth. We asked for separate bowls of just broth, and ended up pouring most of it into the bag of leftovers that accompanied us home.
Complaints:
The chicken wings and chicken tenders did NOT come with fries.
The darts are pretty beat up, and lost their fins midflight.
Pretty minor complaints, i know, but thought i'd throw it out there.
We initially went in with HnJ on our minds. If you seek to compare the two, there is no comparison--they are just different, with different flavors. If you go with an open mind, and just expect good, flavorful seafood, you'll get it at Cajun Crawfish.
