| - Ok, ok, so I didn't think this place would live up to all hype and I did not think that they could back up everything that all the people were saying. But I am gracious in defeat (especially when it comes to food).
I still haven't been to Hot n Juicy (I know, right, what kind if Yelper am I?) so I don't have anything to compare it to that i have been to recently, but I love seafood and I am from the South so any place boasting Southern cuisine I already have to give the benefit of the doubt.
We walked into the restaurant and were immediately greeted by the hostess (very hospitable, very southern, haha), and the rest of the staff was warm and friendly as well, made me feel like I was in a restaurant at home. The space was very large, almost warehouse feeling, we had a seat in the middle of the place since we had a large party. Jennifer was our server and she was a gem! She talked us through the menu and gave us our options, I ended up going with a pound of shrimp with the whole shabang and some fried catfish. The shrimp came out fast and piping hot! The catfish was cooked very well, tender and flakey, not overcooked and very succulent. Like I said in the beginning I had to eat my words and I'll gladly do it again!
I do have to warn you though, if you do the shrimp with the garlic and all the seasoning, you will smell like GARLIC for a day or so, no matter how much you shower, haha, so make sure you and yours are eating the same thing, then she can't complain if you both smell the same, haha
