    Got nasty food poisoning from this place two nights ago. Eaten here many many times over the years, the service has gone downhill, they don't even have a manager anymore, but I ultimately draw the line at being poisoned. I'm still not right, I missed work over it. I'm going to find another place to go with competent staff and clean conditions.

    Came here for wife's birthday the staff was super nice and helpful. We ordered the shrimp which were perfectly cooked and just delicious also really good sized, we also got the clams and green mussels. I really enjoyed the mussels they were large and meaty and went perfect with the sauce, which we ordered medium heat and the bucket medley flavor. Prices were avg but service was excellent I would definitely return again.

    This is actually an update to my original review I left. When we first went it was really good and I was impressed by the fact that it was actually good considering almost all the restaurants I had been going to post pandemic have been trash. When we went again for the second time it was still good but they changed something with the sauce that you choose for the bag, and we were like “it’s different and not as good but whatever.” Then we go in tonight and it was like a totally different experience. The sauce was terrible I mean sooooo watery and just simply not good at all like to the point where we didn’t finish everything because we were just over it. Also I HIGHLY doubt they gave us an actual pound of each item as it says on the menu. We had been twice before and each time ordering the same things and this time it was more like a snack than a meal. I am very disappointed and super bummed out that yet ANOTHER restaurant has dropped the ball. It’s like it doesn’t even matter if the food is good anymore. Sad. All that said, try it at your own risk you may like it.

    Was really disappointed yesterday. This place is usually good. I did a to go order. The Cajun fries were not cooked well, and were cold, soggy and stale. The shrimp we ordered were overcooked, so they were all mushy, no texture at all and would completely fall apart. The sauce also did not taste as it usually does. And these head on, un-veined shrimp are some of the worst I’ve had.

    The place is quiet small. It gets crowded fast as what I can see. It's easy to spot while driving on the street. My friends and I love the flavor of the food. It was delicious. I'll definitely bring my family here next time. It's a little bit far from where I live but its worth a drive to grab dinner. The price is not bad at all. Not over price. The staffs/waitress are amazing that's a plus too.

    These guys are CHEATERS! Ordered a pound of green mussels and a pound of shrimp. But my order came in with only a few green mussels (see pic below). DO NOT COME HERE

    Halloween evening we decided to go to the pescador but it was closed next door there’s this restaurant the bucket crab and crawfish, so we decided to try it. We’ve passed this place many of times, but never stopped until now. The structure is decorated really nice with plenty of tables to sit down and enjoy your meal. We ordered shrimp tacos, calamari, fried catfish and fries. To drink it was Dr Pepper. We really enjoyed the food also the waitresses we’re attentive, courteous and friendly .They have so many options on the menu one option is seafood bags but it’s a little bit more money.We enjoyed coming here .we’ll be back. There’s plenty of parking with the handicap stalls close to the entrance.

    Great experience! They serve you in your own bag, from a bucket, right on your table!! Clean, tasty seafood. Freshest oysters I've had in a long time!

    The food was good, the atmosphere was fine but the place oddly had heavy graffiti on the booths and the bathroom was real bad. Not sure if that was intended or not. I've been to my share of dive bars and shady graffiti filled spots but for a restaurant of this type it seemed odd. Service was quick and good. The crowd was fine. I will definatley order from them again but will take it to go.

    After the pandemic it’s been hard to find food that is ACTUALLY good. This place is AMAZING, very flavorful and filling. It definitely exceeded my expectations for sure because I thought we would strike out again. Great food and service! Thank you 🙂

    Unfortunately this place will no longer be our go to place . We used to love it but we went in today and saw they had roaches, also noticed the bathrooms have not been properly cleaned in idk how long. I did let the manager know about the roaches and all she said was they opened late to clean up the place today. They really need professional help with fumigation a d cleaning. Will not be returning.

    Waiter was pleasant. Nice different experience. Based off of music playing this would be a good place for middle aged to younger crowd

  • 5/5 Maria M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great!! Delicious! Only issue was waiters didn't come to refill our drinks but 1 time in the 2 hour period we were there.

    One of my and my wife's fav place to come and eat. We come here often. The service is great and the food is always good. We prefer the Bucket over bowling crab any day! 🦀 OH! We always order King Crab with garlic butter only. Highly recommended. Also get the shrimp 🦐 Bucket melody medium spice.

    We had the Dungeness crab with shrimp and clams. It tasted really good, but then I spent the next 2 hours vomiting it up. I had to pull over a couple times on the way home to vomit. Won't be going back ever! Never had issues with seafood before or after.

  • 3/5 michelle g. 1 year ago on Google
    I wanted to try something comparable to the Boiling Crab. The shrimp was over cooked which made it difficult to peel. The lobster was alright. The flavor was just okay. The service was just alright. . Ordered lobster. It wasn’t that great. I would give it one more try probably it was just an off day which sometimes happens.

    🍤 Shrimp, Cajun fries, and bucket toast. Delicious!

  • 5/5 Cassandra R. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious. We tried a bit of everything, including the new bucket toast, which was delicious and came out warm and fresh. The music and football game added to the experience. The service was good, but I didn't really like having to ask for drink refills. Other than that, it was a great dining experience.

    Friendly, attentive service and good well-seasoned (not just salty) food. A little pricey, but most restaurants serving this type of crab-boil fare aren't cheap. Their buckets come standard with king crab, rather than snow crab. We got one pound each of shrimp and crab, with two half-ears of corn and it was enough food for two hungry people. That and two beers came to about $90. We felt we got our money's worth and we would come back if we're ever in the area again.
