Not bad at all, I was satisfied when I left so what more can you ask for.
Okay, so I was on a super oyster craving that brought me to Big Al's. They have reasonably priced oysters and wanted to give them a chance, even though they are considerably away from the strip.
I saw the menu and ordered a bowl of clam chowder. Good stuff, would totally get it again, not too fishy, clams not too chewy. A stuff. Now for the good stuff.
I ordered the russian roulette, which is any 5 oyster shooters and one extra chilled shot of stolichnaya vodka just for good measure. These were my shooters:
-Big Al's Belvedere shooter(belvedere and an oyster, simple)- 4 out of 5- didn't need much, the belvedere was nice going down, smooth. good one to start with.
-Kamikaze(vodka, lime and triple sec)-4 out of 5-good but not amazing.
-Lemon drop(citrus vodka and lime juice)- 3 out of 50- similar to the Kamikaze but lacking somewhere.
-Cajun ole(tequila, cocktail sauce and hot sauce)- 5 out of 5-delicious cocktail sauce and hot sauce went together perfect with the oyster, topped off with black pepper but the tequila was a bit of a change after 3 shots of vodka in. Nonetheless the best shooter in the bunch.
-Bayou Bloody Mary Shooter(Vodka, tomato juice and tabasco)- 4.5 out of 5- good stuff but would have put some more tabasco in next time.
** took down that last shot of Stoli and vacated the building**
Left the Orleans buzzing it and feeling mighty frisky
