Laughing Crab Cajun Seafood

Get your hands dirty and your belly full! Fun place, good food and plenty of it! My partner ordered the “Get your hands dirty “ which included crab legs, scallops, sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes mildly seasoned which was still a little spicy and I ordered the fried shrimp basket. The shrimp were good size and plenty of them with seasoned French fries. Full bar and plenty of seating.

Over all it was good. This is a personal preference but I didn’t care for the heavy breading. When frying with batter, less is more. You want the flavor of the food to come through not the breading. People also use batter as a way of making up for size. Pour a lot of batter onto something and it will look bigger. I had the fried oysters and shrimp with a boiled egg and hush puppies. Started with a cup of the chowder. Everything was spot on except the breading, again, I don’t care for heavy breading. If you do, you will love it here. Both the oyster and the shrimp would have been much better off with a light dusting rather than a full on double dunk. Waiter was a handsome fellow by the name of SW. He was very professional, friendly, checked on us just enough without hovering, brought everything out in a timely manner and made suggestions from the things he enjoyed off the menu which was much appreciated. Decor was ocean and I really enjoyed the paper on the table we could write on. Over all, I enjoyed the meal and will be back next time I’m in the area.

Every time we have been, the food is tasty and freshly made. The service has been good as well. However tonight, my husband and I went and the atmosphere was absolutely horrible. I’m glad we decided NOT to take the kids with us. The hostess was being extremely disrespectful to the manager. She was also interacting with some of the other workers and cussing out loud repeatedly with whatever they were discussing as if she were at home or a party instead of at work. She was also on her cell phone most of the time just as her fellow workers. At one point there were 4 waitresses at the bar area discussing weed and how they could get some for one of the other workers. Tonight was a prime example of businesses that are a poor example of professionalism. This is suppose to be a family restaurant but now we are hesitant to ever step foot back in there with our children. Management needs to get a backbone, control their employees, and set ground rules on what’s acceptable and what’s not.

Our Server, Diamond, provided the best service we have had in a while. She was so sweet/precious, very attentive, and patient with our big family. She helped us with recommendations on the best dishes. When she wasn’t busy with guests she was cleaning and resetting tables. She made our meal out very pleasing. Food is good but her Service was top notch. Thank you Diamond for taking exceptional care of us. She definitely deserves the accolades! Management, please give her a pat on the back and thank her for her hard work. She’s a keeper for you!
