Kajun Seafood & Wings — Restaurant in Beaumont

A couple of weeks ago during my lunch break I stopped by here and ordered some salt and pepper chicken wings through this establishment's drive through. Unfortunately seeing as the little mic you speak through was probably built during the triassic period what the poor girl tending the window must have heard were the screeches of the damned. Either way, what i ended up with was not originally what i ordered at all but rather the Salt and Pepper shrimp, though mildly disappointed at the fact that life had denied me my poultry, i’m not the one to look a gift horse in the mouth and deemed seafood passable. (i was running late, there was no choice, thank the gods for my broad palate).

Soon enough I was faced with yet another hellish task..

eating the food.

As it was simply Scorching, pulled straight out of Satan's personal fryer, I had my work cut out for me as I gobbled down the food like a dragon scorned, steam flying wildly out of my mouth (I was running late, remember? i do have table manners when presented with enough time) ANYHOW, as soon as i could feel the taste through the scalded layer of my tongue i found myself in deep retrospection, much as Remy did in the movie Ratatouille when he decided to take a nibble of trash cheese and trash strawberry, thankfully i didn’t have to dig in the dumps for this, “a delightful taste sensation” is what i was pleasantly greeted with (kudos to you if you got this reference, but truly, I was quite surprised), the plate was full to the brim, so much so that i second guessed if i could eat the whole thing, eventually i did, but I had to divide it into two sittings, regardless of that, we were speaking about me chowing down while doing that open mouth thing like i was crunching on hot coals, and my goodness, the absolute CRUNCH.

In my rushed and quite grotesque eating (pls understand i had to get back to work) the first thing i did was try and stuff the shrimp into my mouth (yes you can laugh) and bite down (is it still funny?) between the absolute shock at the heat and the elated feeling at biting Into a good crunch, I hardly felt how it absolutely SHREDDED my palate, yes, the crunch was so absolute that it cut my upper palate, it's okay I'm not mad at this beautiful Primordial Crunchy shrimp, The cut on my palate was simply a prime example of an unstoppable force (shrimp fried by the gods) meets an immovable object (the rabid desperate munching of a desk worker who is trying to clock back in on time)

Anyway, after my rushed meal I could not help but think to myself once back at the safety of my desk and under the judgemental dead stare of my BTS Jin Funko Pop about the quiet serendipities of life, those random little absurd plays written by fate, did i get the wrong order? yes. (that's okay, mistakes happen) Did I absolutely undermine the shrimp crunch? also, yes. (“death by shrimp” would be pretty funny on a tombstone) But did I find my new favorite order?

Absolutely.

Sometimes we go through life with little to no patience, let's be kinder to our food workers, they're doing their best, and sometimes they might introduce you to new favorite foods (and textures!) that you may have overlooked in the past!

Anyway! Salt and pepper shrimp?...

Well I am visiting Beaumont and I was looking for some good seafood. So I Google seafood spots around my hotel and this place came up. I am ordered a 20 piece boiled shrimp with potatoes and sausage with fried rice. I got back to my room and I sat down to eat. I had eaten 8 shrimps and I wanted one on the bottom where all the juice located and I came across a unwelcome German Cockroach. So I tried calling the restaurant back last night and got no answer. So I called at 10:30 this morning to speak to a manager. She said there were no manager and to call back around 2. So I did. They answered and I told them the circumstance and they ask did I keep the food I said no but I took a picture. I am not keeping that in my room. They said text me the picture, so I said sure. I called back 5 minutes later to make sure he received it. He stated I ate all the shrimp and I told him no they are on the other side and I only ate 8 if them. They said we are not giving your money back and was very rude. I never raised my voice or yelled. I just wanted my money back They said it's policy to bring back food to get money back. The receipt doesn't have any policies on it, otherwise I would have. If you're a business owner please treat your customers with respect. This could have...

Its OK but not worthy to write home about..!! We thought it was a Hidden Gem The menu: Is pretty organized (See pics)and had plenty of selections for just about any craving. What I Ordered: I ordered the grilled fish and shrimp which was pretty good, shrimps a little over cooked while the fish was done just right, fries well let's say not everyone can do fries just right.. While my wife ordered 3lbs crawfish special, they aren't the worst flavor but not bad for quick stop either. She also ordered the 6 peice salt and pepper shrimp with fries, I wouldn't recommend this as the shrimp are way to chewy and lack seasonings, fries again not worthy to write home.. Also a stuffed crab to try it, lacked any flavor and definitely lack any seasonings at all all while being burnt way overcooked.(See Pics)

There isnt a bunch of space inside but convenient to eat and go as there isn't any public bathrooms... No lack of entertainment as a local radio station plays at a decent level while a smaller but viable TV plays a local news station. My only real complaint would be the stuffy atmosphere, probably do to a lack of proper ventilation in the back.. I'm 50/50 on...
