CRACKIN’ KITCHEN
364 Seaside Ave. Honolulu HI 96815
Ordered a simple coke which cost $3 in a small glass, no free refills and the coke was terrible. I mentioned when I ordered a sprite that the coke was very bland. He said “it’s because it’s...from a soda gun. I’m thinking to myself “ how cute - you wanna blame the soda gun and not the person that hooked up the CO2 and syrup percentages - it’s simple bud, the CO2/ syrup mixture is off producing a very bland coke. It’s not the gun. You’re welcome. I ordered a sprite and was not charged for the coke. So kudos to the waiter for that.
Ordered a LB of the Kauai Shrimp - ($32 per lb) with red / hot/ sauce option and the garlic butter rice. Shrimp come fully shelled and with heads- lotta labor - bout an hour. They give u gloves and a bib which helps to make the mess less. I ordered the garlic rice which was nice to compliment the Cajun style spicy shrimp.
Despite the restaurant wasn’t that busy, the wait staff wasn’t the most attentive. Nice people and all, but just not the best at service. As far as the high end shrimp I give em a 4 of 5. Due to how expensive the shrimp are and bland sodas I’d have to give the overall experience a 3.5 but there isn’t that option so I certainly can’t give it a 4. I don’t regret the experience, and if I was really craving seafood I might even go back but just know you will certainly pay for it.More
