Brightside Crawfish

Would but a.) no patio at the current place (you have no idea how much this sucks ...God do I hate apartments) and b.) feel like being social (somewhat of the gregarious sort).

Went last Friday, had $6 pitchers till 6 or 7 and the crawfish start at 5. It was 13.99 for under 3lbs(the trays are small) but compared to Sammys which I had two weeks ago, the crawfish at Brightside where bigger and not as soft and were not season bad at all had a lot of juice.

Rotolo's has them Thursday through Sunday and they're better than Brightside. Sorry, I know that doesn't help for tonight.

Went last night...should have just got drunk instead.

Got there for about 5 when they started serving and got three pounds to start. Thankfully I was willing to wait to order more...thereby saving myself the additional cash of a second helping of crappy crawfish. Although they were seasoned fine, the texture and consistency blew nuts. Some were marginal at best and some had been so overcooked that the tail meat was inedible.

Was this just an abberation or is this status quo for Brightside?

Lakeside on burbank has them from 4 to 8. They are nicely seasoned. I think they are a little pricey, 3 lbs plus corn and potatoes for 15.99 or 4.99 a lb. But there is a huge back patio if you are looking to eat outside.

I know monday thru friday, I think on the weekends too. Might want to call them to make sure.

had some the other day and they were pretty solid, good seasoning and not overcooked.

Do they have the same guys continually cooking them? If not, different cooks, like with any food, could be the cause of the different end product. Guess I'll give 'em one more shot as I'm typically hesitant to write some place off after one visit.
