Fairly new and deserving of the high ratings it's received so far. Smokin' Crawfish is not unlike your other seafood-boil-in-a-bag places such as Hot n Juicy or The Boiling Crab. In fact, some of the flavors are just as good or possibly better than their rivals and at reasonable prices (about a $1 less than the latter two for a lb. of shrimp).
When we arrived one night, we were the only customers there. It's kind of weird and unexpected but at other crawfish places you might have to wait to be seated. The positive to this is no waiting and food in front of you as quickly as you can order!
The downside is the missing amazing aroma in the air as you walk into a busy crawfish spot. I swear, with just one whiff of that garlicky, lemon peppery, amazing fragrance in the air and you'll have me salivating more puddles than Pavlov's dog. That sets the tone for the rest of the night and something I like when I go to a crawfish spot. Won't be the case here when you're the only diners at the time.
The two pounds of shrimp we ordered were nice-sized shrimp and there were plenty of shrimp in the bag. As a tip for new customers who have never ate at these types of joints, ask for plastic gloves if you don't want to get your hands dirty because you'll be peeling the shrimp and your hands will smell like the Smokin' Crawfish sauce the next day.
I also enjoyed their own take on fried rice made with shrimp and crawfish! It was yummy.
The service was fine but hard to rate because we were the only ones there. As this place gets popular, we'll have to see if their staff could keep up. I believe there was only one or maybe a second server there at that time.
To end on a cool note, they have the Lobster claw machine game here. If you manage to catch a lobster, they will cook it for you for free! Maybe this one instance I'll forget what my parents preached to me a long time ago while I play with my food for just a little bit.
