Lane A.Lane Ao: I love their crawfish here! Get "The Mix" flavor, which is garlic butter and lemon pepper.

Joel S.Joel Siegel: If you're still able to, LEAVE NOW! It's not worth it at all. The crab was overcooked...TWICE! The crawfish weren't cleaned well at all, and the food seemed flash steamed instead of boiled.
