Restaurant Seafood restaurant

👍👍 I was one of their first customers during their grand opening years back. There is something about their sauce that is hard to compare to the other Cajun Seafood joints. My go to is a pound of their shrimp in their Rockin’ Combo sauce in medium heat. Before the epidemic, this was the spot to go to... People often mention shrimp, service, delicious, seafood, experience,

    I was one of their first customers during their grand opening years back. There is something about their sauce that is hard to compare to the other Cajun Seafood joints. My go to is a pound of their shrimp in their Rockin’ Combo sauce in medium heat. Before the epidemic, this was the spot to go to watch any games. Their are multiple TVs viewable from any seat. Their customer service has always been attentive refilling water at any chance your cup was low. Now with the change of times, the order station blocking the front door with the menu attached to the sneeze guard. I planned on eating inside the car so asked for the goods as they would do for eating in the restaurant. I was provided with the table lining, super durable gloves, bib, and plenty of hand wipes. This was the first time having crawfish since I’ve been to NOLA and this was a pretty awesome treat having to take out and enjoy it in the car without the mess. I didn’t know what to expect in the size of the crawfish but these suckers were not a disappointment!

    Excellent dining experience. We had to wait for Garlic Noodles, however they we perfect when they came out. For appetizer we had Calamari, which was good. We had the crab, shrimp, sausages potatoes, and corn with steamed rice as our main meal, and it was delicious. No complaints 😊

    Excellent food!!! Classic southern crayfish boils, seafood options, and delicious sausage! Service is always friendly and quick, and decor in restaurant is neat. All the spice levels are great tasting, and the garlic butter boil is fantastic.

    The waitress was not friendly at all she looked like she literally hated her job. It took them a minute to bring out our stuff and they didn't come check on us once after they brought out our food. We had to go flag somebody down to get us dessert and we had to flag them down to get us water and not to mention a bunch of the employees were peeping over the door that led to the kitchen to look out at the people and they seemed like they were gossiping about the customers. Not cool super unprofessional. not coming back. Let me mention this real quick, my mom personally loves that place and goes very often she said this was the first time she saw it not that busy and to which we didn't understand why they were taking so long to bring out the items.

    We Felt welcomed when we walked in. Plenty parking. Food was great once our order arrived, but service was slow. Pleasant music playing much to my surprise. My experience at the oakland was just the opposite.

    I know seafood boil bags include whole shrimp but please consider deveining your shrimp even if the peels are not removed. Most of the shrimp in my seafood boil bag, had full digestive tracks full of black grit which is not appetizing and very hard to get out once the shrimp have been prepared.

    A friend of mine recommended this location for a night out with a few friends. After a pretty stressful day. We normally go to any seafood restaurant in the area that we've heard about, and my friend heard about this location on Instagram. I found that the food was a bit salty, especially some of the fried food , but it wasn't terrible. I think our experience was okay but there did seem to be a small problem when we were ordering. Can't fully remember if it was us not talking fast enough or the employer who is taking our order talking way too fast, but we did have a few moments of misunderstandings. That was easily solved though. They also are okay with splitting checks, I believe up to three ways

    Ordered the crawfish and shrimp both with garlic butter. Also added potatoes, corn, rice, and sausages. The shrimp and crawfish were cooked perfectly and they didn't skimp on the garlic. Very tasty. One potato cut in half, corn on the cob that spent the whole day boiling. The sausages were very good, wish I'd asked for 12 pieces. I didn't taste the rice. Very reasonable price, great service, fun crowd.

    First time eating here and service and food was amazing! Special thank you to Mary for assisting me and my family on special requests. We will be back!

    Best Creole Style Seafood place around! The food was always on point when I either dined or picked up. Their rockin sauce is delicious and the shrimp gumbo always hits the spot!

    I don't typically review restaurants, but I had a refreshingly pleasant experience worthy of appropriate feedback. I took my fiancee out for dinner and the venue was bustling with activity and packed with customers. The delicious aroma of food being prepared and being consumed serendipitously filled the air. The staff was friendly and welcoming and assured we would be seated as soon as possible. The staff offered us a seat at the bar while we waited. The drinks were prepared quickly and had a heavy pour which I enjoyed 😉. The food was delectable and came out quickly given the number of customers enjoying their meals. Our waitress checked on us frequently and tended to our request expeditiously and with warmth. I will definitely be returning as this place is an absolute pleasure to dine at. Pricing was fair and gratuity was included yet I felt inclined to leave our waitress a token of my appreciation for a memorable experience. Truely appreciate that managment was on top of delivering service and a positive dinner experience. #foodwasfire #welcomingvenue #awesomediningexperience #destinationeatery #hiddengem

    This place is a fair price for what you get. Sea Food isn't cheap, (especially when you are fat a kid that will eat till you waddle out with a smile) This place is delicious, we ordered a second helping of everything we ordered the first round. Our service was so so but that had nothing to do with our waitress, she checked butt, she was unfortunately the only waitress while we were there.

    The food was tasty, and the service was exceptional. We picked up our food but will return to dine in.

    Food was so delicious. Service was fair. There wasn't anyone in at the time so we got our food pretty fast.

    Unfortunately this establishment has lost some of its shine. The service here has really taken a nosedive along with the quality of their food. I was in the mood for some fresh oysters, and the wife and I decided we wanted a combo with crab shrimp muscles and crawfish. To start off with it seems they don't really keep oysters in stock anymore, so they were once again unavailable. We were one of three parties that were eating inside the restaurant, it did seem that the kitchen staff was quite busy creating to-go orders and doordash orders. We waited nearly an hour for our combo to come out, and when it did come out it was not hot. The crab was overcooked, the Crawfish were very small. Their sauce which used to be one of my favorite things, seems to have had a change in recipes, and was not good at all. The thing I have to say, is when people come in and spend the money on King Crab as a part of their combo, it better be good. It was not. Way too much money spent for substandard food.

    The quality of the seafood is fine and it’s a good place to go for a large party. The sauces and spices make everything really flavorful, but not everything tasted super fresh. Very friendly service overall.

  • 3/5 Thomas L. 8 months ago on Google
    Unseasoned shrimp fried in unseasoned batter served with unseasoned fries. I also got some gumbo that I'm guessing will disappoint as well. If it don't, I'll do an update on this review.... UPDATE Gumbo did not disappoint so I'll up my overall rating from 1 to 3 stars. It had flavor to go with the shrimp, sausage and all the other ingredients added. I will be going back to get more and share my thoughts.

    Came for the boil bag and it definitely delivered with flavor and freshness. Prices are what you'd expect for seafood. I will be returning again next time I'm in the mood for seafood.

    Took the family here recently - it was delicious. It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected with the price of everything lately. It's definitely worth it. Would recommend.
