Very nice new location. Service was excellent. Selection was much bigger than was expecting which…read moreis great. Food was a miss at least what we ordered and no birthday nothing. Disappointed and didn't feel special. Tuna was cooked right but could use some extra seasoning. The burger was blah and expensive. Again needs seasoning or salt. The chicken tenders were tasteless. The crawfish queso and crab claws were both good. The grilled ceasar I heard was good but didn't try it. The brownie skillet was over cooked and hard. Needs more peanut butter. Pricey and bougie but would try other things.

We tried Crying Eagle - Lakefront location for the first time this evening, and every bit of our…read moreexperience was nothing less than phenomenal! Ryan was THE best choice for the General Manager. He is doing an excellent job with his staff and the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server, Gage, was a prime example and reflection of the care going into this place. Gage was so sweet and took very good care of us. Now for the food. Everything was so flavorful and worth every penny. The kitchen staff knows what they're doing, and they are killing the game. We started off with the pork belly bites and the shrimp toast for appetizers. That spicy aioli mixed with the chili glaze on the pork belly was top tier! The shrimp toast was perfectly crispy and delicious. The entrees were just as much of a slam dunk as the appetizers. I had the beer braised beef short rib with the mashed potatoes. Talk about melt in your mouth. The short rib was so tender that I was able to pull every single bite off the bone with my fork using very little effort. It was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH TENDER! My husband had the Tasso brined double cut pork chop with collard greens. The Demi-glace was absolutely delicious and the greens were well seasoned. My father-in-law had the wedge salad that he asked to spruce up with a few extra dressings, and they had no qualms meeting his requests. We were too stuffed to try dessert, but we will absolutely be back to try it another time. The pricing was very fair for the quality of food and atmosphere. All of the staff were super kind. You can definitely tell they enjoy their job and take pride in what they do. We can't recommend the lakefront location enough. It's definitely going to become a top favorite that we'll continue to frequent.
