Carraba’s was a fantasticc value – for $2 you got the shrimp spiedini – ( 4 regular sized shrimp) plus 2 great lobster ravioli. The quality here was every bit as good as their restaurant. This was delicious and so great! On the other hand, I was so disappointed in Henrry’s Louisanne Shrimp and Grits. I have eaten there before and loved this dish. Today, it was a sorry glob of thick grits with just a measly 4 salad sized shrimp for $4. The servers were so busy fooling around that they failed to see that adding even a little water to this dish would have greatly improved it, I threw the whole glob in the trash and felt like I wasted $4.. Otherwise, the festival was a lot of fun and we found a lot of great food for the price.
Very true regarding Carabbas. The shrimp were great and it was a really great price. We really enjoyed Henry’s as well though. The popcorn shrimp were great, but we did not try the shrimp and grits. Thanks for your comment and review.
Although very hot, we thought the festival was great! We went early and found that the food was great, the prices were extremely reasonable, and the crowds were manageable! We were impressed with the variety of foods and definitely had our fill. Can’t wait for next year’s taste!!
The Festival was great! The Music was awesome and the food was good, especially the ice cream for the heat.
