Recommended by one of my Good friends. Let me warn you when you drive up your thinking “dive bar”, “cheap or dirty restaurant”. Might be a little….Ummmm…when you park in the front but let me remind you were talking Odessa and Midland Area. We went to the Odessa one but I’ve been told the Midland one is just as great.
So why do I ask you to remember that? Oil country! Most of these new restaurants can’t afford to put a new nice restaurant up when land here is going around….A lot. Example it’s just the beginning of 2023 and Looking on LoopNet for commercial lot. 4 retail properties cost little over 25 million. Another Water burger out in the middle of nowhere is currently going for little over 3million dollars. That’s only 4,600 SF retail. So that said…hence the reason you find some nice restaurants that are brilliantly good in some “iffy” looking areas. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
So, going in we are greeted with staff. Typical normal nothing grand. Business is slow and our server is a really nice lady. I believe her name was “Jamie” She was awesome. Answering questions, explaining how everything works, recommending what most people enjoy. As we start looking over the orders my daughters face lights up. “I know this place”! “I love this place” She then goes to explain she’s been to the one in Amarillo Texas. She states she didn’t recognize it because it’s in a nice standalone building. She’s so excited and starts to order her favorites.
So we had the appetizer sample that had three cheese sticks (good), 4 hushpuppies or more (great), and a lot of calamari (good).
I had what you’ll see on the menu Mini bowl with Snow Crab legs. I got the step 2 “hook and real Special Blend” and the step 3 “spicy”, then for step 4 “sausage”. It was AWESOME! Luckily after fighting yummy crab legs for the meat and was full. So I took the sausage and potatoes home and they reheated great. Smelled Cajun in the house so that’s ….well not so hot but soooo worth it.
My hubby did the mild spice and the shrimp he was terribly impressed.
My daughter had crawfish (crawdads…poor things) and snow crab and she gulped it down like they were going out of style.
No one tried the fire. I like spicy food and I’d say after trying spicy I’d stay with that. I don’t think I’m brave enough to try fire unless I have a tank full of sugar water on hand.
Price was pricy but worth it for good seafood. I’d say for three people you're gonna look at playing almost 100 dollars or more. I forgot to take a picture of the other side. They do have other meals that might be cheaper. They do have po’boys etc. But you really need to try this at least once. Especially the Boils!
So recap:
Cost – Pricy but not out of range
Building – Looks cheap
Cleanliness – clean
Staff – excellent, friendly and attentive
Food – Great, two thumbs up
Recommend – mini boil
