| - Ask for Mike. Prepare for launch!
This visit knocked it outa the park! I went with my Big Homie Brian... as a continuation of our Old-Basketball-Dads adventures.
I walked in and was immediately greeted by a smiley face that guided me to a table with an excellent view. B walked in shortly thereafter, making his smooth way over to the table. I wish I could carry that off, but I'm ethnically predisposed to mediocrity in that regard. Irritating. Anyway...
Mike, our server, came over... friendly, knowledgeable, extra-mile kinda guy and was that way through the whole night. Mike is awesome... and then some... yeah I said it.
Mike got a me a sample of the various heat levels of the seasonings. I went Crabshack Blend #3 (hot). It was tasty and the perfect intensity of spice. Loved it... although, word to the wise, know what your getting into: my wife gave me the stink-eye when I got home due to the garlic on my breath. Cast out from the bedroom. Banished to the couch. Worth it.
I got the Combo "B", that's 1lb. o'Snow Crab, 1lb. o'Shrimp, 2 lbs. o'Crawfish and 2 half corn cobs, 3 potatoes, and 4 sausages. Yowza! Oh, and I gots me a Dungeones crab too. They had to roll me out. And I was rollin' with a smile on my face.
The manager/owner came by several times to check on us. B and I were solving all the world's problems and basking in the glow of the experience.
So, friends and neighbors, the capstone of the evening, beyond the awesome food, family-style service, and good company, was the gloves. Gloves, you say? Yes gloves. LA Crab Shack gives you surgical-style gloves at the beginning of your meal. And, Baby, you're going to appreciate them.
Stellar night. Going back for sure. Thanks Mike, see you soon.
