Stinkin Crawfish was delicious, the service was great when we went to go pick up and they are very careful with COVID during the pickup. They provide papers for the table, make sure to tell them how many pieces you need, they will give you multiple sheets if needed. They provide bibs to make sure the sauce doesn’t get all over your white shirt. We got 2 catfish combos, 2 shrimp combos (1 garlic butter - no spice, 1 stinkin special - mild) 3 sets of park chicken wings, gumbo and 1 Mac and cheese. The Mac and Cheese was really good, it tasted really cheesy without being super thick. Chicken wings were delicious and crunchy. The coleslaw that comes with the catfish combo was so good. They include raisins and pineapples in it and they end up tasting sweet and refreshing. The sauce for the shrimp combo with Garlic Butter was great for the kids that didn’t like spice. Super flavorful, I can imagine taking that sauce and putting it over sauce. I would definitely go back and purchase more...

We came here with another family for a bite to eat before a show. The place was empty at 4pm on a Saturday. We were greeted warmly and sat at long bench. The restaurant provided plastic bibs and gloves if you request it. Everything is very similar to boiling crab, but without the 2 hour wait.

We ordered a pound of head on shrimp with sausage and corn in the stinkin special sauce to split between my husband and I. We got medium and it had a good kick. The shrimp was pretty tasty dipped in the sauce. The sausage was good too, but the corn tasted mushy like it was frozen or cooked for too long.

The kids got the fish and chips plate, which was pretty substantial. It came with fries and coleslaw. At the end of the meal, everyone received the complimentary dessert of deep fried Oreo and vanilla ice cream.

Overall it was good experience and love there’s no wait for large parties. We will come back to try other items...
