Calico Jack's is known for heaping platters of seafood and good times. Offering an oyster bar, Jack's is a statewide chain that specializes in twice-daily happy hours from 2p-7p and from 11p-close. Beer is dirt-cheap here, too.
This restaurant is casual with a capital ?C.? Wooden tables, picnic-style, serve as seating; pool tables, darts, and big-screen televisions offer diversion.
A bounty of appetizers includes Oysters Rockefeller, Seafood Gumbo, Buffalo Shrimp, or Beer Battered Cheese. Main courses might include a bucket of fresh oysters, served raw, lightly seasoned or medium well, or Cajun-style crawfish, perhaps a hearty sandwich or finger-licking chicken wings? If you can't make up your mind, order a combo platter-a fried options includes breaded shrimp, oysters and clams-or a steamed platter featuring snow crab, shrimp and oysters. There's a full bar here.
