Food was fresh and hot, customer service was so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Wish I would have... gotten a picture.... the only strange thing....they let customers write on the walls with sharpies. Other than that, very goodexperience and we will be back! Read more

Food was good! I had shrimp and sweet potatoes fries! Clean, friendly, the only little thing was...I searched places that had... crab cakes and it showed me this restaurant, they had an abundance of sea food and my shrimp was great but they did not havecrab cakes! They offer shrimp, crab, sausage boils! Definitely going back with the family for a crab boil! Read more

Food was fantastic and we got there about an hr before closing.Service was excellent.The only thing that I didn't like was,they... started mopping right beside us. I understand wanting to close up and get the sidewalk started ASAP. It is never OK to mop orrun the vacuum by customers sitting there still eating. Read more

1st timer! I came here for my little cousins 15th birthday and they had a nice set up for us. 1 server, but she handled our... large party very well. The food was AMAZING!!!! I got the Seafood boil with shrimp and snow crab legs and OH MY GOSH! The cornand potatoes were seasoned just right. Everything was exquisite ???????? Read more

Very great service! The outside of the building made me not want to go in. The atmosphere really isnt inviting. Black sharpie... all over the walls of people signatures. The food in the other hand was absolutely amazing! ???? our server was very polite andquick on her toes. She took our orders as we decided what we wantes, explained the me u before we even had questions. She waswearing Ray Bans didnt catch her name. Our appetizers came in a timely manner. It is happy hour from 3 to 5 or something likethat, so of couse we couldn't pss up mozzarella sticks and calamari. The boil bags is what the majority of us got. It was mymothers birthday so it we had a party of 12. Then some had order chicken tenders, they was surprisingly very big and delicious.We will go back here. Oh dont let me forget napkins at everybtable and she brought out 2 trays of sauces with our orders. ????All she had to do was get our drinks at that point. So satisfied with this restraunt.

i?m not normally one to complain, but this was our first time eating here and there was a long black hair wrapped up in the... first bite i picked up. the food was great, but finding that hair really grossed me out???? (i have short dirty blond hair, andmy husband and short hair, and the hair was in the food when i pulled out of the bag, so i know for an absolute fact that it wasneither of ours) Read more

We had the appetizers for the Cajun buffalo shrimp and the hush puppies. The Cajun buffalo shrimp came out fried with the... buffalo sauce and seasoning poured over it. Although I'm not a big fan of fried shrimp the breading on the shrimp was thincrispy and clean. It was very good. The buffalo sauce was quite strong. I wish I could have been a little less buffalo sauce andmore Cajun seasoning. The hush puppies were normal hush puppies. But they did come out perfect. Not dry. I ordered a half poundcrawfish half pound snow crab. It came with an ear of corn and a potato for each of the items I ordered. The crab and theCrawfish was cooked perfectly. The Crawfish was huge and although it wasn't that purged the Crawfish broke perfectly and I wasable to pull the gut string right out. The crab was also cooked great and everything came right out of it. I was disappointed onthe seasoning I ordered medium Cajun seasoning. Coming from the south this medium was more like a mild. I wish I would havegotten a small dish of the seasoning to dip in. It had a lot of the butter juices but the actual seasoning just was not enoughfor me. Our waitress was very nice and the food came out pretty quickly. I will go back. And I thought their prices were decent.My partner got their chicken wings with some breading on it. They were lightly breaded and she said they were amazing. Cookedperfect and had a great taste to them. Read more

Visited this restaurant on 2/3/22. Hands down?the best seafood I?ve ever been to. Crabs, sausage, boiled shrimp, calamari, fried... shrimp, and hush puppies were beyond delicious. Will stop by again in the near future. Read more
