Crab Du Jour Cajun Seafood - Brown Deer

The food was mediocre, service was poor they have the nerve to charge you $15 for gratuity in your check…. Gratuity is rated by the level of service you receive… This place is a total RIP OFF I don’t recommend it to anyone… They claim a party of four or more is charged $15 automatically mind you two of the four were small children)… DO NOT PATRONIZE this establishment!!! You’re better off going to red lobster at least the seafood there is fresh not frozen… These people need to be run out of town with their sells tactics over priced seafood… It’s a big NO for me!! If I could give no stars I would….

Saturday 02-12-2022, I visited this location around 5:30pm. Very empty with a mere 4 additional guests and 2 of those guests were done ordering. Inattentive and very bad customer service. The glass I was served in was chipped. I cut my lip on it and brought it to their attention. It was implied that it would have been best if I used a straw, therefore avoiding being cut. Our server was missing and I had to go and inform someone when refills were needed. I was with two others. The food was not good. Very under seasoned and not flavorful. First impressions are everything.

Nice place. Got the scallops lemon pepper, wife got the shrimp. Go with the shrimp, more flavorful. Dont need to go jumbo. Scallops were ok, though I prefer them sauteed albeit I did get a boil. Pick heat on the spicey side. They forgot part of our order but were very apologetic. Great service otherwise. Like supporting these non chain smaller businesses.

Ordered online for pick up. Flavor was mediocre and although the prices for the combos were little less than King Crab Shack and other places, you only get half and less options. I do like that they cut the shrimp shell across the top for easy peeling, something KCS doesn't do. I'd choose KCS over CDJ though.

I'm only giving this a 5 star because Ling our server was great where as the other wait staff sat around and did nothing but talk. We went twice and it was the same thing. Ling worked and the others sat around. I would have given this 3 stars.The food is ok.
