| - When you're going to eat at a place like this there are things to expect.First know what you're getting into and dress appropriately. Food here is served generally out of a bag and you eat with your hands so, you'll get upset if you're wearing some favorite article of clothing that could easily be stained and ruined forever. However they do have some options for side dishes and regular entree's that don't involve eating with your hands.
Now when I went there I ordered a LB of shrimp with the Cravin Cajun house sauce. I was a little saddened by the limited flavors they had to offer. If you've been to other places that serve the seafood out of the bag you know sauce makes all the difference. The sauce here wasn't as spicy as I was hoping for nor did it have as much flavor. I like to peel my shrimp then dip it into the "bag sauce" to add extra flavor, however the bottom of my bag had almost no sauce and was completely covered in chunks of garlic bits.
Also I ordered cajun fries, and one good thing they had is the seasonings they put on the cajun fries they gave you in a shaker at your table, that way you can add more. This is a good thing because when you order your cajun fries they sprinkle the seasoning on top and when you get to the middle you just have regular fries and all of the seasoning is gone.
Service, when it came to taking our order the girl who was supposed to wait on us, didn't know we were seated yet so that was a miscommunication, and when our food came people only stopped by for refills not to check how the food was, or ask us how we were doing They just grabbed our water cups and filled it up then left. However when it came time for the bill they brought it immediately and took it immediately, as if they were rushing us out or they just wanted their tip.
Lastly their portions are small, my 1lb bag of shrimp only has 15 pieces of shrimp in it, maybe the shrimp had a little bigger head, but the body of the shrimp was the same size as other restaurants. I'd rather have more for my dollar in quantity not just in the head size, and I think some of the weight of my bag went to all of the garlic bits I had.
I've been to this restaurant on the east coast in Florida, they can do better than this. The Las Vegas location needs to step it up, and bring the east cloast flavor to the west.
