    I was really looking forward to some good seafood. The other reviews made it seem like it would be a good place so I was excited. I ordered the fried soft shell crab with fries on the side. Hate to say the fries were the best part of the meal. The fried soft shell crab had the old fish fishy aroma to it. I gave it a try and just as I thought tasted just like as it smelled old fish that sat out to long but besides that staff did do pretty good with service

    This is a gem and we loved it. We got the rice bowl with lobster,potatoes,and steak. Topped with garkic butter. It was DELICIOUS! I encourage anyone that like fish,oysters,crab,lobster, vegetables, appetizers, crayfish and more to stop in here. Easily accessible from the road and parking is in the front.

    I have been searching for a seafood boil restaurant for a minute and when I came across this, I decided to stop by. I must admit, it’s by far the most tasty seafood boil I have ever eaten. I honestly can’t describe how good it was unless you try it out yourself. Asides the boil, I recommend the hawaiinian roll, it’s like a puff bread, if you eat it with the boil sauce, the taste is amazing! Although without the sauce, it’s equally nice but try it with the sauce. Will definitely be visiting again

    What a pure delight this place is! The dining room was very clean and well decorated. The service was absolutely outstanding, our service was nothing short of awesome. Our dinners came out in a very reasonable time and everything was perfectly delicious! I had the Cajun. We will be back soon. Highly recommended!!

    I’m from the south so Iv eating plenty of seafood. Was really hopeful to get some good seafood here. It was not even close the sauces was way to sweet and it had some kind of herb in it that looked like pine needles. It took me longer trying to pick that off of the food then what I took to eat it. Very disappointed only good thing was the customer service lady that took my order was very nice ..

    I wanted a fish dinner changed my mind and ordered soft crab shell dinner. I was not impressed, paid $16. It did a number on my stomach too. I will not be going back here. I wasted my money and time. Thank you for the upset stomach. This place doesn't deserve a star but had to put 1 star to post my review.

    Great shrimp. Wish the table was a little larger but the staff was very friendly the entire time.

    I LOVE it here! I know the ladies that waitress there and they’re all friendly and very hardworking! The atmosphere is calm and the music is nice but the most important and the best aspect of this restaurant is the food!! The make your own bags, lobster bisque, fried shrimp, the desserts, and ESPECIALLY the fries are fantastic and always well cooked and seasoned! I’m a huge foodie and I go there just for the fries sometimes! One of my favorite places and I recommend the fried honey banana on the desserts list!! Don’t get discouraged by the bad reviews, they’ve improved tremendously over the years!

    Love eating seafood boil at Lee’s. We like getting the duo with the crab legs and shrimp. It comes with potatoes, egg and corn and we like the house juice in hot

    All of the food was very hot and fresh. Cooked well, crab shells not soggy and shrimp still meaty. The sauces everything was tossed in were amazing. I got the Cajun mixed with the lemon pepper at the recommendation of our awesome waitress Lauren and it was fantastic. Absolutely will return

    The flavor was better than what I thought it was going to be when it was first brought to the table. I wanted garlic butter and my idea of what garlic butter must be skewed a bit because of a similar restaurant that we had gone too. I noticed the color was reddish (so then I was thinking it was going to be super Cajun spicey) with large chunks of garlic. The similar restaurant that I had gone to their sauce was yellowish with no large chunks of garlic (and maybe I only ordered butter). Either way, the flavor was not at all over-powering with garlic and it had a sweet spicy flavor. It turned out to be pretty tasty. Definitely on the pricey side when ordering the King Crab, I get it, it's Market Price, but it would be nice to see the daily Market Price when first entering the establishment. Server was friendly. Our food was hot. I feel like a better description (perhaps visual) of sauces and posting of Market Prices would've been appreciated. They were also decorated for Halloween and our 4 year old would've been scared to have entered the establishment. I appreciate the willingness to be festive, in my opinion, a little overboard on the scariness for a young child/toddler.

    Extremely slow and poor service. Over priced value for money is not there. Staff MIA most of the time. Took 45 mins to get anything to drink. Mixed drinks well avoid them they need a bartender that knows what they are doing. Those at our table that ordered a bag. They were suppose to include potatoes and corn. Which were not in our bags. We were then brought 1/4 ear of corn and one.... I repeat one new potatoe. If your new restaurant is going to survive. You have some work to do. Value for money is poor....potatoes and corn are cheap.... Cornbread is also cheap and a basket with nice and hot mini loaves would be a good offering to welcome customers when they arrive.

    I was nervous to try because the mixed reviews, but I went anyways today and it was amazing!! From the food to the service, everything was great. I ordered the bag and had the king crab with one lbs snow crab and it was plenty of food. I thought the price was fair. Our waitress hand made cheesecake stuffed chocolate covered strawberries and they we so good. I will definitely be back.

    Do not get crab legs from here, they were overcooked and salty. But everything else was delicious. I loved the shrimp head off, corn was great. But crab legs is a big NO NO. Place was clean waitress was friendly. I would try this place again without the crab legs.

    The place was very clean, the food was great, cooked perfectly, and tasted great. The price was very reasonable for being a seafood restaurant. I had the snow crab, shrimp combo. Only thing is that I would order a side order of potato and corn. They only give one of each in the combo. Other than it was quality!

    I Absolutely loved the Snow Crab 🦀 But I Don't recommend the Blue Crab! What should've been a Hard shell was instead Mush! I couldn't even eat the body meat because the shell would just mush together with the meat why bother. I even took the Blue Crab home and tried it again later that evening Cold in hopes it would be pickable Nope! And due to the waitress saying the spices were Hot I choose 'Baby' level and couldn't taste any seasoning. I'm only used to Old Bay on my seafood but few use it in Ohio. I hail from Virginia Beach and prefer seafood to anything else lol you'll enjoy this restaurant heck I may even bring my Old Bay with me next time since it's all made to order. Just remember I warned you about the Blue Crab I believe it may have been frozen too long but not sure.

    I have NEVER in my life had a better Seafood Boil!!!! Not only was the seafood cooked perfectly & the sauce on point but the drinks were amazing!! We’ve eaten seafood from Seattle to the NE & down to Florida & Georgia & this seafood is phenomenal!! Very excited to become a regular customer! We have been searching for years to find “our spot” for seafood & we’ve finally found it! The staff was also amazing and very attentive! 10 out 10, will absolutely dine here again! 😍 🦀 🦞 🥰

    Wow...this was my first time here. Its cute inside but the food is off the hook AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC!!! This place has to be the best place to get seafood in Ohio. If you don't visit this place you are for sure missing out. I got the lobster tail with shrimp and andouille sausage in the bag with Cajun seasoning made to be hot (ghost peppers). It came with baked potatoe and corn on the cob. I felt like I went to Cajun heaven. Great portions I took some home with me. The price is fair but when you compare it pound for pound against other seafood places you win because the taste is much better and you get more of it. Hands down, I'm coming back for a date night.

    This was my first time ordering from Lee’s seafood boil, I ordered a take out order online and it was ready in 15 minutes, when I picked up my order it was triple bagged and placed in a paper bag. The food was hot and delicious, I loved the homemade sauce! It was very well priced too and close to home, I will definitely be a returning customer and recommend it to others!!

  • 4/5 Jasmine N. 2 years ago on Google
    2nd time coming here. Both times have been great! If you can't handle heat, I suggest you get "baby spice" as the heat level seems to vary a little. The flavors are excellent and the freshness is pretty good. It has never been too salty, which is often the case in boils and Cajun food in general. The customer service is also outstanding. Get ready to get messy if you get a boil bag!

    I decided to stop here for take out omw home from GNM. It was my 1st time stopping in. There was only one family in the restaurant although the dining area was clean, bright & prepared to seat many. Deciding to create my own delectable boil, I placed my order using a handy menu I had retrieved from a menu box outside. I wasn't really checking, but I'd say my order was up in less than 20 minutes. My order, which was brought to me where I was waiting in the dining area, was triple-bagged, paper-bagged, & we both made the 20 minutes ride home without issue. I very rarely eat boils, but I "ATE" that night! The food was seasoned to my taste--I love garlic. I could've done with just a little more sauce, juice, whatever. I'm a dipper & every dip has got to count! Overall, a good first impression.

    The Appetizer Sampler had a nice variety. The Softshell Crab Basket was good. The flavors were good with the Seafood Rice bowl, but the potions were off. There were only 4 pieces of Shrimp in it, the Salmon was only the width of my fork, and the rest of the bowl was 90% Rice. The Make Your Own Bag options seemed like the better option.

  • 1/5 mary w. 1 year ago on Google
    This has to be the worst seafood restaurant I've ever eaten at! There were 4 of us, the food came out in 5 mins, literally. It tasted old as if it were microwaved and thrown in a bag! Nothing about the food was fresh nor the seasonings good. The crab legs didnt have any meat in them, empty! When I complained, they blamed it on the vendor. I will never patron that place nor recommend it.

    The food was great, our waitress was great.. but it was a little pricey. Got the duo with my friend, which honestly would have been the right amount for one person to be full, but we were still satisfied enough. The prices were pretty high but it is seafood afterall. The music they play was pretty loud for a restaurant, but it wasn't anything that would stop me from returning. The waitress recommended mixing the lemon and cajun seasoning and it was awesome... Definitely recommend mixing them if you go!

    One day I drove by this restaurant and decided to order. I had the crab cakes and I did not care for them. They were to "fishy" fishy for me. Onion rings are not the best. I just did not care for the breading. The fish was was good. That was the only item I ordered that I liked.

  • 5/5 Sean A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food was odd that it the boil was brought out in a bag but that was actually brilliant it helped keep the crab legs warm while I ate.

  • 2/5 Britt M. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm from Alabama and I was hoping to get great seafood out of state from this rated 4star place but this was the worse seafood I've had in my 43yrs of living. They had a large amount of food in the boil bag but the flavor wasn't soaked in nothing but the corn. The crab legs, shrimp, sausage and crawfish was overcooked. I wish I could get my $100 back😢 Would have rather had a chicken sandwich from mickey d's...and I don't even like those sandwiches😕

  • 5/5 Emmy H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is soooo good! Although you’ll be suffering on the toilet the next morning, it’s totally worth it!! My best friend and I got the Duo with the Cajun spice and it was deeeliicious. The service is also amazing

  • 1/5 Amanda p. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely the most repulsive food I’ve ever had! Calamari was so rubbery you couldn’t even bite through it. The salad had a chunk of dirt in it. Then to top it off the lobster bisque only had shredded fish in it that they tried to pass off as lobster. After a few bites of these things I almost puked on the table. Only thing good at this place was the waitress who really seemed very embarrassed and not at all surprised.
