Description:
As the name implies, crabs are the star of the show here, and are served up in a variety of fashions. I recommend you go with the Creole Crab, which is a large bowl of whole crabs boiled up with spices and accompanying chunks of tubers and corn. This comes with a large wooden mallet and plastic bib. Don't wear your finest duds here. For those looking for a more refined manner of digging in, you can order just the already shelled claws, in any number of sauces, or a wide range of other seafood dishes off the extensive menu. Heck, you could even get beef stroganoff or chicken cordon bleu here -- but why would you? The decor is bright and gaudy, with porthole windows ringing the restaurant, neon blue lights embedded in the ceiling, and large fish tanks spread around. This place is very popular with locals, and has a loud, festive vibe.
