I thought I would try out Razoo's this afternoon before the evening crowd arrived. It was a slow time, and they had a lot of waitstaff there, presumably prepared for a busier time coming later. They all seemed pretty bored and there was a lot of milling around trying to look busy. Since I went alone, I guess I was a prime target for all of their attentions! It was difficult to take a bite without someone asking how I was doing, how everything tasted, etc.
Anyway, I ordered the Skillet Combo, which includes a serving each of Shrimp Creole, Andouille sausage, Crawfish Etoufee, Red Beans and rice, and Corn on the Cob. The food arrived very quickly, very little wait. Pretty understandable given the guest to staff ratio at the time. I arrived about 4:15, and was out well before 5:00.
First off, the corn wasn't as fresh as it could have been to me. It was good, but seemed like it had likely been sitting for a while in limbo waiting to be served, and was slightly mushy. Might be better at a time when it is more likely to be served more quickly after being cooked.
Otherwise, the other dishes were much better. There was plenty of spiciness, as well as lots of rice. If you don't like spicy food, you might want to try something tamer. The Creole was served on a bed of white rice, which was also shared with the red beans. The Etoufee was on a bed of cajun rice. The flavors were very good to me, to go along with the spiciness. Not bad for a chain type restaurant, anyway. I have eaten at a Razoo's in the Houston area before, and this one seems really similar to that one.
