After repeated delays, Hot N Juicy Crawfish has quietly opened at Downtown Grand. Possibly too quietly.<\/p>\n

We get a restaurant wanting to have a soft opening, but this is about the softest in recent memory, and Hot N Juicy is already heading into rough seas due to its challenging location.<\/p>\n

And, yes, we know crawfish are freshwater creatures, not from seas. Maybe crawfish come from the Sea of Galilee, which is a technically a freshwater lake, but it’s called a “sea,” so let’s not get bogged down in analyzing the accuracy of metaphors right now. Who made you like this? Forest for the trees!<\/p>\n

Hot N Juicy is here. We recommend you visit soon, if you get our drift.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyhoo, Hot N Juicy Crawfish sits at the corner of 3rd Street and Stewart Ave., a couple of blocks north of the Fremont Street Experience. A new promenade between Fremont Street and this area opened recently, so it’s less sketchy than it has been in the past.<\/p>\n

The address is 206 N. 3rd Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101 if you’re looking to find the restaurant via Google Maps or whatever the kids are using now. Props if you remember Thomas Guides. How in the hell did people find anything?<\/p>\n

The restaurant sits in the space that was originally the Commissary at Downtown Grand, and after that it was an eSports (whatever those might be) lounge for a minute.<\/p>\n

Not to make it too awkward: But it’s an impossible location, despite being close to some excellent restaurants (like Triple George and Pizza Rock).<\/p>\n

The owners of Hot N Juicy Crawfish obviously have a plan to overcome the geographic challenges, and it doesn’t appear they invested too much in the space, so we’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hot N Juicy is a chain, and there are several successful locations<\/a> in Las Vegas, as well as other places we care much less about.<\/p>\n

The menu consists of a hell-ton of seafood.<\/p>\n

It’s not all about the “mudbugs,” either.<\/p>\n

The menu also features a variety of crabs, lobster, mussels, clams, shrimp (headless or not) and the aforementioned crawfish. Oh, and chicken wings. We have no idea how those got in there.<\/p>\n

Find the full menu on the restaurant’s official Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So many jokes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We didn’t dine at Hot N Juicy Crawfish during our recent visit, mostly because we don’t do seafood, and ordering chicken wings at a place called Hot N Juicy Crawfish just seemed ridiculous.<\/p>\n

As a layperson, crawfish seem like a lot of work.<\/p>\n

According to this video, it’s important to pinch the tail and suck the head.<\/p>\n
