Guys and gals, let me put you on- I donât do many google reviews, which is my BIGGEST mistake. I am a huge foodie, always trying out new dishes and spots in town, so for me to come here and make a review on this place should be enough to convince you itâs time to try it out!! I came here twice this month with my boyfriend (for reference, Iâve tried another h&j location two years back and fell in love). The first time, we ordered the drool (hot and juicy style mild) with extra corn, potato, and sauce. Their sauce is packed with flavors, thick for a good dipping, and has so many layers to it youâll want to come back for more. We werenât a big fan of the sausage in the bag (nothing to do with the restaurant- we just arenât big fans of sausage in general) and wouldâve preferred to get more seafood instead, which is why the next time we came, we got a pound of crab legs and a 1.5 lb lobster!! You know we had to get four potatoes on the side for the both of us to share and corn because theyâre so tender and send you straight to heaven with one bite in their signature sauce. We decided on garlic butter for the crab, Cajun sauce for the lobster, and we stuck with hot and juicy for the potatoes and corn because itâs phenomenal in that sauce. In the future, weâve decided to stick to the hot and juicy sauce completely. Itâs our favorite and we couldnât distinguish the other sauces enough to want another instead. We ordered fried donuts to go. My boyfriend had one and said they were excellent, but my stomach was bulging and I couldnât eat anymore. đ I forgot they were in my fridge after that but wouldâve liked to try them fresh and warm. They smelled amazing. Aside from the food, the service is excellent too. All the servers Iâve had have been attentive and caring, wanting to know how the food was and if they could bring us anything else. I wish I remembered their names. They bring tons of gloves, a napkin tray is sitting on the table ready for use, free drink refills for soft drinks throughout your meal (and they sent us home with two new sodas both times as well), tons of lemons/salt/pepper to add onto your bite, and a hot and juicy plastic bib of course, so food doesnât splatter all over your shirt. If you looking for a seafood place with great care, tasty food, and a clean space then come here!! A plus side is you get to choose your own seating, so if youâre on the socially anxious side, you can choose to go anywhere that feels comfortable or even decide to sit in front of one of the tvs. FYI, Iâm 20 weeks pregnant and hot and juicy is all Iâve been craving. I told my boyfriend I want to go back this weekend. đŠ He keeps saying âmy pockets hurtâ because I always get the priciest things and the biggest portions, but I canât help it- what the baby wants, the baby gets. I swear I send him about 30 seafood boil reels in a day and am constantly bringing up the yummy potatoes and crab legs. I promise you, youâll regret not getting extra potatoes on the side, so just listen to me and order a few extra for everyone at the table. I hope to be back here soon, and for all the mommas and papas wondering, this place is very kid friendly. There is a small bar in the back like most places (Applebees, chiliâs, etc) but Iâve never seen anyone get crazy drunk here or use profanity. I think the little ones would enjoy this place, so donât worry about getting a babysitter to watch them or staying home instead of coming out and enjoying dinner as a family. God bless all the cooks and servers here who put in their all to make the experience as wonderful as itâs been! â¤ď¸
