This is one of the best cajun seafood places I’ve tried! Shrimp are pretty big, but snow crabs are pretty small. The cajun seasoning is the best but be aware, their seasoning runs on the spicy side. Usually mild is the perfect heat for me but here it was really spicy. They brought us water after they had brought our drinks without us asking for it and it totally made sense afterwards, we needed them lol Add ons are pretty pricey, they charge 1.75 for one really small potato. Definitely comeback to this place if I could

Food was really good in flavor a little over cooked. Atmosphere was good just really cold.

Yummy! I wanted a seafood boil & soft shell crab, & this place delivered beyond my expectations. My friends treated me out to dinner for my birthday. We got a basket of fried brownies to start. Delicious! Dessert first . For our main course, I ordered a soft shell crab basket, & I split the seafood boil with my other friend. As our seasoning we got the house sauce & baby level spice. Our third companion got the crawfish po'boy. This was an experience. Bibs, gloves, & seafood spread all over the covered table. Definitely don't wear anything you don't mind possibly getting seafood & sauce on. The boil bag was sooooo tasty. And there was plenty of shrimp & crawfish to go around for 2 people. We were so full afterwards. Food coma full. Haha. We waited around 10 minutes to be seated & chose an outdoor table. Our waiter was very friendly. I recommend this place.

Great experience at Hot N Juicy. Went for the first time as I was informed about this establishment. The atmosphere is fun and music was great. It made peeling the crawfish fun. Perfect to enjoy seafood boils with friends and family. Do not be afraid to get messy and enjoy a nice bag of seafood boil!
