    We came here mainly for crawfish, and they did not disappoint! Everything was customizable and we felt that it was worth the amount that we ordered. We did the mix of all 3 sauces - it was really good once it marinaded, but first off was heavy on the lemon pepper. Our server was very diligent in the set up when the food came and we appreciated his thoroughness from setting up our table to packing up leftovers. Overall, the food and experience met our expectations, we only wish that our server checked up on us more outside of taking our order, serving and bringing us our check. We would definitely come here again but be mindful of the varying service! Additionally, we really liked the decor inside and the music was boppin (2000s rnb).
