Restaurant: The Big Tuna Fish Joint

Shrimp Po Boy

Kate and I checked out The Big Tuna Fish Joint tonight.  They just opened on our side of town where Cha Cha's used to be.  When you get in, you queue up to make your order, take a number and find a table.  Not a bad system, but you can't order alcohol at the front counter.  You have to look for a waiter to get you the drink, which means you'll have to pay two bills before the night is over.  It was awkward.

We ordered a dozen oysters, a shrimp po boy for me and an oyster po boy for Kate.  The food came out fast, the oysters were cold and plump, and the po boys were hot and tasty.  The fries were good too.

The service was friendly and fast, but a little disjointed.  The idea of one waiter per table was lost there, so we had a constant barrage of staff refilling our drinks and asking us how are meal was.  During a thirty minute meal, we had two managers, four waiters and the hostess check up on us.  I'm going to chalk it up to the recent opening and hope that the kinks will get worked out soon.

Kate and I agree that it was good enough to go back.
