Prob the best crawfish I've ever had!
by Xtian
I consider my self a big crawfish fan. I don't mind driving far or paying a little extra to find a good crawfish boil. I've been to MGG seven times and I have to say it's probably the best crawfish I can find around town. The service is great too! I usually don't take the time to write a review but I have to recommend this place to all. Take care
- Pros: delicious
- Cons: parking

by Melva

- Pros: Great food
Wasn't what we expected
by uhsftbll21
I am not sure the crawfish were purged. There were a few crawfish that had a really bad smell to them. Other than that, they were a nice size and had a pretty good flavor.
- Pros: nice waiter
Crawfish were too small and old
by CSMobileUser
It had been a while since I ate here, but my last memory of it was good. This time around I was extremely disappointed. The crawfish were too little to eat, and many of them were bad and overcooked. It actually grossed me out.
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
Overrated in the Heights
by Dinky09
Will never go again. A group of us, about 20 people, went for the mardi gras celebration. They expected us to all sit at two tables and the waitress commented the whole time about the size of the group, how we couldn't sit at more than one table and it was "ridiculous" and how she didn't want to be there. Her attitude didn't change and the rest of the staff were just as rude in addition to not knowing the menu or prices. To top it off everyone in the party was getting charged different prices for the warm beer, that they ran out of ice to keep cold. When I complained to the GM about the staff and pricing she was almost as rude as her staff and offered no apologies or even acknowledgement of my complaint. I had heard so much about the fat tuesday celebration here and it was a huge letdown. If it happens every year you would think the staff would be prepared to handle it. P.S. with only one restroom be prepared to find your car surrounded by tissue paper where party goers went out to the parking lot. EWWWW.
- Pros: sell beer
- Cons: ran out of ice for beer, one restroom, rude staff
The real deal
by PongGod
After reading the mostly positive reviews on this restaurant, I thought I should give it a try since I was in the mood for some good Cajun cooking and I wanted to try a new place. It was everything I was hoping for: delicious food, unpretentious atmosphere, friendly service and all at a reasonable price. We will definitely be coming back!
- Pros: Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices
- Cons: none
