King Cajun Crawfish, N. Mills Ave

On Friday I had dinner at this New Orleans Seafood restaurant on Mills. I had a small (more than generous) bowl of Jambalaya for $4 and a pound of Crawfish (alot) for $5. The Jambalaya was tasty. It had chicken and sausage and shrimp in it. It was a bit pastey, but, it must be hard to keep it al dente all day. The crawfish were boiled in a Cajun hot sauce. They were fresh. The place is small. It seats about 40. It was half full at the closing hour. The crowd ran the gamut of hipsters, Asians and Crackers. The decor is pretty basic. The space is a little run down. The AC was overwhelmed by the night heat. The service (5 rotating) was efficient. One of the customers was overheard saying that he was from that area and this place was his favorite in Orlando. I heartily recommend this spot because there is a lack of alternatives and the value is incredible. They also boil Snow Crab, Blue Crab and Shrimp. They have all manner of fried platters and po boys. They have Gumbo. They have salads, desserts, beer, and Cafe du Monde. Sodas are also only a dollar. It's run by Asians, but don't let it be said that they can't cook Cajun. Great addition. It's next to Bananas. *now at the Bananas location.
