I’ve been to Hot N Juicy in LA and the 2 in Vegas and I’ve had an alrite experience at all of them. I had a bad experience at this location and was by far the worst. My friend and I came in around 7:30 and this was the first time there was absolutely no line or queue for a table. In fact there were only 2 other tables at the time. The place was cold so it was obvious they were cheap on turning up the heat to a reasonable temperature. My friend and I ordered 1 pound of shrimp each, that’s it. Considering that were only 2 other tables, I wasn’t expecting to wait over 10 minutes but we did. Surprisingly, the shrimp came out cold for some reason and the amount of sauce was lacking that ¼ of the shrimp wasn’t even touched by the sauce. This tells me this restaurant is cheap and cutting back on the amount of butter they use. I wouldn’t be surprised if this shrimp was sitting around and wasn’t cooked to order. Cheap on heating, cheap on butter and cheap on fresh shrimp. Will never come to this location ever again!!! Now I knew why there was no line and the place was really empty.

Absolutely love this place! My family and I come here quite often since we all love shrimp. Our favorite flavor are the lemon pepper and garlic butter. We usually just get it with baby spice, we feel that the more spicy it is, it takes away the flavor of the shrimp. We always order chicken wings too but on our last visit(1÷31÷15), they were way too salty. Took one star off because of the service. The waitresses aren’t very friendly unless there’s a male at the table then all of a sudden, they’re too friendly. Just because I don’t have a penis doesn’t mean I wouldn’t appreciate good service. Hope all the men you ladies flirt with tip you well because all you will get from me is the minimum 20% tip and I usually tip 30−40% if I feel that it is earned. Oh well…

As soon as you walk in, the ambience is super family style. The smell of seafood is so welcoming & got me extremely hungry. My boyfriend & I ordered the king crab & shrimp, both of which were really good. I’ve been here once before, & I feel like the service has improved. My server’s name was Joanne. I loved her! She was really friendly & made sure we were always content. I will definitely be coming back!

This 4 stars is for the flavor it was awesome unless I was really hungry anyways service is kinda off if that makes any sense. I’m a server myself at a restaurant I’m usually by myself so when it get busy sometimes I tend to get all over the place but it’s because I’m by myself. I’m not perfect, but here at HnJ I’m watching 8 servers that’s all over the place kinda weird anyways best of luck to them lol p. s. Thanks to the guy that took our order he’s from Hawaii and he’s really nice forgot his name

Went to this location on New Years Eve, love!!! The fried catfish basket is a blessing to my life, LOL. Cajun fries are equally as delicious. Repeat customer for sure.

Jaymee was a great waitress that made sure our cups were full and our meal was to our liking. Decided to step up from the dungeness crab and go with the king. Despite the thorns destroying my fingertips, the meat was well worth it. The Cajun fries were awesome as well as the oysters. We will be back soon!

Love love love the crawfish, shrimp, muscles, clams, oysters, and Cajun fries!!! I always get the hot an juicy flavoring and medium spice. There has been a few times the crawfish were tiny but that’s normal when off season. The Henderson location is very nice and open and seems to be quick seating

I am so glad this place opened up near us! Beats going all the way to spring mountain! The seafood here is amazing! I love how they have different flavors and spice levels! Prices are pricy but hey it’s seafood! I’ve been here the first time they opened and trust me I was skeptical about even returning… But I noticed through time they’ve improved a lot! Service wise. I mean it’s always a hit or miss but you need to go in at a certain time when it isn’t so busy. I remember one time I came in and it was slow at first and they got slammed out of no where. So our waitress totally forgot about our table and we waited for our check for half an hour when we finished our food less than an hour ago. Anyways, one of the servers there changed my perspective because he was very attentive and kind. Kudos to the gentlemen who loves spices there! He told us a story of how he would put XXXL spice and ghost chili peppers on all his food in the fridge so his roommates wouldn’t touch his food. He definitely made our night and I do apologize for not catching your name. Thank you so much though! I will definitely be returning. I can’t deny good food!

Even though I this location isn’t as busy, when it is they are super understaffed… And THESERVICEISAWFUL. If you can go to the one on spring mountain, DO! better service, friendlier staff, and better food. Oh, and thanks for allowing us only one set for dinner. HUGEFAIL!!!

Went there yesterday for my birthday celebration. I’ll have to say I’ll be back more often. We had a table of 12 and I was a little worried that we would experience what happened last time. Although one of my guests shrimp was raw, they accommodated us by removing it from the bill. Waitress was extremely nice and patient. If only I got her name!!! I had a very good time celebrating my birthday there. They even sang Happy Birthday!!!

I was never really a seafood person but my friends have been telling to go try it out, so I did. Do not regret one bit! Our server’s name was Dianne, she was wonderful. Made us feel super welcomed with her bright smile. The food was amazing! Can’t get enough of the sauce XD My overall experience was wonder!

My husband and I were able to try this amazing restaurant for the first time last night and were extremely please with our experience! Service: The servers were super friendly right out the gate. They were very accommodating and sweet enough to teach us all about the craziness we were about to experience that was hot and juicy! They constantly check on our table and always made sure we had enough to drink. Food: after we learned a little bit about how the menu work, we decided to try a pound of the shrimp since they were out of blue crab and also the Cajun fries and Creole calamari. Everything was extremely delicious and the space was on point for the spicy shrimp. My only hope, and being the fitness girl, was that there was some kind of salad or greens option which was the only thing missing from the menu-I have to remember that not everything can be healthy Experience: we have eaten crab legs before in the comfort of our own home but it was really fun to experience hot and juicy with the plastic bib and the plastic gloves and the nonuse of utensils-it was like being a big kid out in public! Everything was awesome and we definitely want to come back when they have more seafood in stock so that we can try out the entire menu.

Insanely good. I can’t resist! I always get king crab, but the chicken wings and fries are good if you get a side of hot and juicy flavor and dip them. FIRE! I totally recommend this location because of the food, but the wait time has been nonexistent each time I have been here. Check them out if you are in the area.

The food is great. The service is so-so. This location is nice and clean. Not much in terms of décor. On football game days, it’s BOGO beer on all beers, which is pretty awesome. Be sure to ask for the full beer list as they don’t automatically bring you that menu. Unfortunately, when we went, they were out of blue crab. So we went for the Alaskan king crab and shrimp. The shrimp you can order by the ½ lb, which is nice.(Everything is minimum 1 lb.) We went with the garlic butter seasoning with medium spice for the king crab and the hot ‘n’ juicy seasoning with spicy spice for the shrimp. It is definitely spicy!(And I say that as someone who loves spicy things.) We also ordered the cajun fries(which were loaded with seasoning).(Tip: Ask for a side of ranch for the fries.) The Alaskan king crab legs were gigantic! Some of the biggest I’ve ever seen(including in Alaska). All the food was yummy. I liked that they gave you gloves as well as bibs. This really helped IMHO as your hands didn’t get covered in sauce and seasoning. We were never offered another drink or if we wanted any other food. We had to ask for several tools. So like I said, not exactly good service. But the seasoning was on point and the seafood was fresh and yum. So I’d be willing to overlook the service issues and eat here again.

Frequent here at least once a month. Great food, great service. First place I’ve ever tried crawfish, I think I like their frozen ones better than their fresh. They peel apart much easier when they’re frozen. We sometimes go with the whole lobster(can’t go wrong there) but always get a pond of green mussels, shrimp and snow crab. I love spicy food, but we usually stick with mild here so that we don’t lose the taste of the fish. Corn fritters are awesome but very filling. For carbs, we usually get a few potatoes or the dinner rolls to sop up that delicious sauce. Favorite sauces and most flavorful to me are the lemon pepper and juicy Cajun. Not one bad thing to say about this place! Enjoy!

Simple, sloppy and sodium coma inducing. H&J doesn’t mess around, aside from making a devious mess of your shirt and hands. You get down & dirty here on seafood! It is so f’n good too! The menu is as complicated as multiplication. 4lbs of shrimp/mussels/crawfish x 6 hungry people = happy full smelly handed people. Choose butter garlic, spicy Cajun, etc. and how many pounds of it you want. Add some sides like fries or what-have-you. The seafood comes in steamy saucy plastic bags that everyone grabs into copiously shoveling into their faces until there’s a big pile of shrimp husks and heads, shells laying there. Barbaric hands-on dining which makes for an interesting first date or family dinner. As a Pescetarian I don’t eat any animals that don’t breath underwater. Aside from the few times documented in my previous reviews, that is. Hot n’ juicy is one of those places that my understanding family agrees to go because of my dietary choice. No one ever regrets it though.
