    Overcooked shrimp boil
    Julie K.

    I was REALLY disappointed in my meal tonight. I read multiple reviews on Yelp and thought I was headed for a wonderful meal. Not even close... (My server was fabulous though.) I ordered the fried green tomatoes (per her suggestion) and they were really good. My entree was completely disappointing. I ordered the shrimp boil with sausage, corn and potatoes. I first tried the potatoes and was shocked to find they were cold (and I don't mean - not piping hot - I mean COLD). I put my hand on the corn and discovered it was also cold. I let my server know and she quickly replaced them with hot ones. OK. Things happen, I continue my meal. I ordered a pound of shrimp and it was so overcooked that I could barely peel it. In fact, it shredded the meat as I tried to pry off the shells. Sadly, I gave up and walked away leaving 1/2 a pound of shrimp sitting there. I'm one and done.

    Best place for charbroiled oysters in Houma! Pretty good shrimp boil as well. Had some snow crab clusters as well but were a bit disappointing as they were not fresh at all. Great service and ambiance. Would definitely return.

    if i could leave no stars i would. I've never in my life been treated the way i have tonight. i'm sitting at the restaurant currently with no appetite waiting for my server to come to me. The host was very nice sat us down and our server came about 2 minutes later, no issue she asked for our drinks and then asked for entrees "if yall know what yall want or no'.. we knew our appetizers so we told her we'd order that and order entrees after. while we were ordering she talked over us the entire time as if she was ready to leave the table. never checked on us not once since appetizers were out and my charbroiled oysters were missing an oyster from one of the shells.. couldn't even tell my server because she didn't check on us. anyways, got our entrees in and i couldn't even finish telling her i wanted the soft shell crabs before she started talking over me. i'm beyond disappointed my first time here was great. i am a young server myself and i have never treated anyone this way. Do better big als.

    Great meal tonight at Big Al's, the Turtle Soup is off the menu now, but the Seafood Gumbo filled in great, the Softshell Crab was great, & my first time having Softshell Shrimp, Lord willing not the last. We really enjoyed the food & the service & will definitely be back.

    Bring a big appetite when you come to big Al's! The portions are plentiful. The atmosphere is light and fun. Staff is attentive and efficient, the food.is delivered hot and is flavorful. The prices a relatively cheap in comparison to the service and portions.

    Big Al's reminds me of black bear diner. Very similar look, just catering seafood, the pricing was reasonable, the food was ok and you get plenty. It was very homey if your hungry and want to stay within budget.

    Get ready to let the good times roll when you walk through the door, the sign above the counter…read moresays "Welcome to Cajun Paradise, I'm with couyon" being born and raised in southwest Louisiana I can definitely get the meaning in the correct context, I can also recognize authentic Cajun cooking when it's put down in front of me and mais sha let me tell you these folks are doing it proud. We stopped in here for lunch and ended up with a sampling of what in my opinion is probably the best example of cajun food done right in Houma and for miles around - everything was delicious and the service from Sarah L was outstanding. We started with the Charbroiled Oysters served with toasted french bread, the plump Louisiana oysters were succulent and dipping the french bread in the cajun butter became an obsession, definitely a must do starter - I wasn't leaving here without trying their chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect texture and complex flavors it will make you a believer, my hats off to the chef, definitely authentic - the fried catfish filets and jumbo fried shrimp platters were outstanding although we didn't do it these are the foundation of an amazing po-boy (maybe next time) - all the sides were exceptional from the fried okra and onion rings to my personal favorite the skillet fried potatoes and who could leave without a few beignets served hot covered in powdered sugar - what a meal they should have a place to lay down in the back for a "cajun nap". In my opinion if you craving some authentic cajun dishes you can't go wrong here, the portions are nice and the prices are very reasonable. Our schedule didn't allow us to return as we had planned but will definitely return when we are back in the area...
