Living in the ID, sometimes you want a meal that isn't served with rice. Not often, but it does happen.
I've now been to Crawfish King at least a half-dozen times. They're nothing if not consistent. The food is served is served fairly quickly and it's pretty good (and cheap).
I always order the same thing... one pound of crawfish, medium heat, served prepared in the garlicky "House Special" sauce. The "Rajun Cajun" sauce, with is more authentic, however, is also good. The crawfish is excellent and the sauce is finger lickin' good. Just make sure to wash your hands after you eat, or rubbing your eyes could be quite painful. Oh, don't be afraid to tie on the silly bib. Your shirt will thank you later.
For a starter, I've settled in with a cup of gumbo w/rice. OK, even when I don't want rice, I eat it anyway. I order the gumbo at high heat. I wish there was something between the medium and high, but high is OK. I'm not a gumbo expert, but I like this a lot, too. I'm guessing the gumbo is better in New Orleans, but if I was served this in the French Quarter, I would not be disappointed.
I've tried the catfish po boy and the shrimp po boy. Neither of them did much for me. The fries were terrible.
I tend to be full after the gumbo and crawfish, so I've yet to try the cobbler or beignets. I guess I need to make a return trip...
I didn't even know we had a crawfish place in Seattle. Will have to check it out when we get back! I'll even let you buy since you have a job and all...
