My wife bought some not long ago at the Mid-City Rouses on Carrollton Ave. and she said they were good.

The only thing I don't really like is they put the hot crawfish in an ice chest and it is self serve. The heat is held in the ice chest and with the residual heat, it could cook the crawfish more than they need just sitting in there.

I’m sure that almost every place that serves boiled crawfish keeps them in an icechest or similar.

would you rather they just leave them out to get cold?

Personally, I'd rather cool/warm crawfish as opposed to overcooked and a PITA to peel.

Probably a couple of days old and just dipped in hot water and then sprinkled with their own seasoning that Lil Donny hand selected all of the spices for.

I've never had a good experience with them. An ice chest is like a coffin for hot crawfish, once they go in they are ruined.

Good to see I'm not the only one that thinks like this. And this is especially true if they just sit in there and continue cooking waiting to be sold.

The only time I've used an ice chest with crawfish is when transporting fresh cooked ones indoors instead of having the strainer from the pot drip all over the floor. I'll transfer them into an ice chest outside, head inside and spread them out on a table for consumption.

This won't happen. It's not nearly enough heat to continue cooking them. They just finished a 30 minute soak, so sitting in the ice chest ain't doing a thing other than keeping them hot

Judging by the usual line at the Mid-City NOLA Rouse's usually, it's the best damn crawfish on Earth.

I had some from the Brightside location and thought they were pretty good. Definitely had enough flavor.

It's like some people here think that their crawfish are being made to order at a restaurant...some guy is in the back boiling 5lbs at a time and letting them soak for 30 min.

I had it last year and it was barely seasoned. It also doesn't come with anything else besides crawfish.

Like someone said above, depends on location and who is working. I went to the one on airline in met
