text: Went last night with a party of six, 4 adults and 2 children. We live within minutes of California Crab, and were happy to try this place out. Unfortunately, our family will make the drive to HnJ Crawfish for any future Cajun seafood needs. \n\nWe were greeted and seated quickly as they pushed two tables together to accommodate our party. (Although there is no mention of it on the menu, or anywhere else for that matter, a party of six adds an automatic 18% ). \n\nAfter being seated, we were offered menus and drinks. After the drinks were delivered, we attempted to order. While not a terribly complex order, our server had an abnormally difficult time taking our order and read back the order with several errors. After attempts to correct, we decided to just go with what he wrote and left it in fate's hands. \n\nThe food arrived about twenty minutes later in bags of tasty sauce, similar to other local Cajun style seafood places. We had a pound each of crawfish, snow crab, two pounds of shrimp, and three pounds of king crab:\n\nThe good: the sauces and the crab. \n\nThe bad: crawfish and shrimp that were extremely difficult to extract from their shell and had a mushy grainy consistency on the palate. The crawfish were the worst I have ever experienced. Drink service for alcohol was extremely slow (he forgot to bring them, in an almost-empty restaurant) and didn't deliver our $2 side of bread until we were ready to leave. As the server was clearing our table, I asked if the seafood was frozen. He stammered for a moment, saying everything was ..., and lost control of a bag spilling the spicy butter sauce all over the table and on to my wife's Christmas Coach purse. He never finished his sentence on the freshness of the seafood. \n\nAt payment time, this level of service is usually met with a tip reflecting our pleasure/displeasure with the staff. Not so in this case, as we had 18% tacked on automatically. \n\nThere is definite potential here, but the lack of fresh seafood combined with inept serve will likely a doom any chances at continued success. I can't fathom anyone returning, and can positively say that we will not.
