We enjoyed another fabulous dinner at Drew’s. I enjoyed one of my favorite dishes; Cajun seafood stuffed eggplant boat with crawfish, crab meat, and shrimp. We also enjoyed spicy Cajun shrimp, an excellent crispy crab cake, Cajun empanada, and the always awesome broiled oysters, and Nashville hot chicken (not pictured). It all went great with an excellent cabernet.

We enjoyed another outstanding dinner at Drew’s. Just an FYI, they are mask optional now (as are most restaurants in NJ). I wasn’t worried since we are fully vaccinated. We also had a seat in the corner by the window, more than six feet away from the next table. It was nice to see everyone’s full faces again, and real smiles that aren’t hidden by masks.
We enjoyed an excellent fresh strawberry bruschetta with fresh ricotta, as well as awesome Rhode Island stuffies, and a New England style lobster and clam chowder, and spicy garlic shrimp. For entrees I enjoyed the always excellent blackened pork chop, and Mrs. P enjoyed her usual Nashville hot chicken (not pictured). It all went great with an excellent Gigondas.
These were the first pictures taken with my new iPhone 12 Pro. I had been using my iPad Pro the last few years. I like the bigger screen on my iPad, but it is a lot heavier to carry around, and I have to admit that the iPhone takes even clearer pictures.

As always your pictures are fabulous but I m quite sure that is because of the talent of the photographer than that of the camera source.

I’m sorry we missed you. We got there early at 5, and sat at our usual table by the window. Drew was kind enough to make the garlic shrimp for us. They were awesome, and the bread soaks up that garlicky sauce.

edited we got there right before 5 as well. Tell Drew to put those shrimp on the menu I’ve never had them.

Thanks Mr. Met! Yes, the strawberries were really fresh and went great with the creamy ricotta and crispy bread.
He probably doesn’t have them on the menu because they are very spicy, and the majority of the customers don’t like spicy food. He also makes a dynamite version with crawfish that are even spicier. I guess you can try asking the server to ask Drew if he would make you the spicy garlic shrimp that he makes for Eli.
What did you have to eat?
Fantastic absolutely.

oh too bad they never have them on the menu. We do like spicy.
For apps our table had the pulled pork mac and cheese, stuffies, oysters, and pork belly. The scallion pancake/pickles and other items were missed with the new cole slaw side that comes with the pork 
For dinner some got the chicken fried steak option (all enjoyed very much) and voodoo shrimp dinner. Everything was great as usual. Seemed like the dining room filled up early and really quickly as compared to the usual staggered seating of customers at opening.

Those were some good choices. I love the pulled pork mac and cheese, oysters, and pork belly. Too bad he changed up the pork belly. His pickles are really good, and so is the scallion pancake. The stuffies special was very tasty, but some of the clams might have been a little tough.
I was seriously considering the chicken fried steak, but was steered towards the always excellent pork chop by our server.
Yes, it did fill up quite early.

We enjoyed another outstanding dinner at Drew’s. I had an awesome espresso rubbed hog chop. We also had alligator for the first time. It was prepared Nashville hot chicken style (little pieces fried up nice and crispy with some very spicy hot sauce seasoning). Some other appetizers that we enjoyed were fried green tomatoes; delicious spicy honey glazed ham ribs; tomato panzanella salad; and wagyu beef tartare with a muffulletta stuffing. I also ordered eggplant bolognese over cavatelli to go, to have during the week. There were plenty of leftovers to cover dinner for the rest of the week. It all went great with an excellent cabernet.
