Today is Independence Day, as you can guess. A lot of places close early.
Originally I had actually wanted to go to Rockin Crawfish or Boiling Crab for Crab Legs, but both locations closed at 7 today, I wasn't upset since it's a holiday. But it would have been nice. Than this place popped up on my map. It's significantly closer to my house and was open until 9, which is great because Jacob and I knew we wouldn't be able to eat till 7:30.
When we first walked in, we noticed it wasn't busy, except there was one server; Billy. Billy is super amazing, but it got busy fast. I was determined to have Crab, and I got my Crab, spicy with their recommended seasonings, super good. Looooots of garlic. Jacob ordered the shrimp fried rice because we mainly went there to satisfy my craving for seafood. We also ordered a side of bread, the Cajun fries and Billy recommended the baked oysters as well. He really sold us on it. So we ordered that too.
I loved my Crab. At one point I realized the sauce was being wasted on the gloves so I decided to ditch them (don't touch your eyes the same day), and digged into the deliciousness. I liked how they serve you the whole Crab. But in my opinion it's cheating. The top shell of the Crab is the heaviest, so you are losing a lot and paying for the same price, but my side of rice with the sauce filled me up. Jacob said he like the fried rice, but he said the shrimp was overdone and "shriveled up" as he liked to say. I know we are a bit picky since we have both worked in kitchens as cooks, but I think it would have been better if they used larger shrimps instead of the Bay shrimp.
This next part is why we are giving 4 instead of 5 stars. Billy was super busy, and we are sorta glad this turned out this way, but we didn't get our fries or the oysters (although they still sound good and we do love oysters). We weren't charged for it, but he did seem forgetful. For good reason. About 20 minutes in, he got a good 4 more tables in. For those who don't realize how difficult it is to handle 3 news tables at once, a large party of 8 and try and get everyone's food and drinks, it's difficult. But I can't not take away one star for forgetting both of our appetizers.
Billy is awesome. Be careful though. He is a little too good at upselling. I'm surprised he didn't try and sell me his car, he's pretty good at selling you things you didn't even think you wanted...
