Dining Out Southeast: C & J's Crab Shack, Gadsden, AL

I seldom do repeat blog posts for a restaurant. However, after another visit to C and J's Crab Shack in Historic Downtown Gadsden, AL, I felt I needed to share the other delicious menu choices we had tonight.

We started with the Perfect Margarita $8.50 and a Long Island Iced Tea $7.50. 

While we attempted to decide what we wanted for our entrees, we shared the Crab dip with tortilla chips $9.95. Served hot and loaded with crab meat. This is a must-have if you even remotely love crab.

Next up, we shared a 16 oz. bowl of gumbo. $7.99.  This gumbo has all your favorites:  chicken, sausage, shrimp, crawfish, plus okra. The rice was perfectly cooked which can be a pet peeve of mine to have a delicious serving of gumbo and the rice either still be crunchy, or overcooked and gummy. This gumbo was well seasoned with the perfect hint of heat.

Sweet Harold wisely chose the Shrimp and Grits $9.99. This is the ultimate cheesy grits loaded with large shrimp. Again, nicely seasoned and served piping hot.

I almost ordered another steam pot, but convinced myself to try the Shrimp Alfredo $15.99. The noodles were perfectly cooked, there was an ample amount of creamy, cheesy sauce completely covering the noodles, and again, loaded with shrimp.

Everything we've tried so far has been delicious. The owners are on site and visit each table to ensure everything is on point and to assure you're having a great meal.
