3 1/2 stars. Some time ago when my friend Angela moved here I took her to one of my favorite places to eat in Vegas. The Hot N Spicy Crawfish. She loved it. Well, this night we were driving around deciding where to eat and drive by Cravin' Crajun's billboard. She mentions that this place opened up and is the prior's competition though she's never been. So we decide to give it a try.
Place is pretty spacious and clean. We get seated and order the fried calamari, a pound of shrimp and a pound of snow crab legs. We go mild on the spices and get the lemon flavor for the shrimp and their specialty sauce for the crab legs.
The calamari comes out 1st and it's honestly, pretty terrible. Like a 1-2. Definitely would never order this again. Seriously disappointing. Batter is too thick and the calamari is overcooked.
The main food comes in big plastic bags and we share the shrimp and crab legs. They're pretty damn good. Both the lemon and their house sauce are really tasty. They flavor is less intense than what you get at the Hot N Spicy and Angela actually liked the sauce here better because it's not as spicy. Lots of garlic bits in both, actually tons of garlic bits in both and I found myself wishing I had some bread to sop up the left over sauces.
So overall definitely a good experience and would definitely come back here. There's no doubt in my mind that given some more time and experience, this place will (hopefully) step up and really be a great eating experience that will definitely rival the Hot N Spicy.
