I’ve been having really good luck with my restaurant choices lately, and Randy’s Crawfish is no exception. I’ve always been of the mindset that the whole process of eating crawfish is too much work for too little payout. However, I am a sucker for locally owned businesses, and I’ve been hearing so many great things about this place lately. So obviously when I was invited to meet a group of friends there one evening last week, I immediately agreed.
There’s nothing about
Randy’s that can be mistaken for fancy (except for their brand new
website), and that’s just fine with me. There is a time and a place for fancy, and that place and time is not on an aluminum picnic table off Hwy. 155 on a nice spring Thursday evening. The atmosphere at this particular crawfish restaurant may be low key, but the food is nothing to be taken lightly. I had the boiled shrimp and fried pickles (my #1 weakness) and both were beyond fantastic. Seriously, we’re talking food greatness here. I did try the crawfish and do admit it was tasty, just so long as someone else is doing all the shelling and shucking and sucking or whatever kind of work is involved there.

I strongly suggest that anyone who finds themselves in that area definitely stop in for a visit to
Randy’s. Even if you’re not in the area I’d go so far as to suggest that it’s worth the trip to Lake Palestine. Oh, and
Randy’s is BYOB so go to the beer store, gather up your friends, then stop in for a relaxing afternoon at
Randy’s Crawfish with a cold drink, a few pounds of shrimp (ok, ok or crawfish), and some really cool folks.
