    Went in for a late lunch early dinner and had a great time. The servers were really friendly and attentive. Only bottle or canned beverages no cocktails available. And they don't have a big selection other than the seafood boil. But if that's what your looking for like we were you will not be disappointed. Both indoor and outdoor seating and the wait was not too long to get served.

    This place has an amazing atmosphere, and it’s so fun to sit and color on the butcher paper while you wait for your food. The food itself had a wonderful flavor and the crab and shrimp weren’t dry at all. Please note that the shrimp are whole, including the head and feet, so you will need to peel, and devein the shrimp yourself. Our service was not good, as we waited an hour for our food, and had to repeatedly find our server and ask for refills. We spent $150, not including tip, to feed 5 people. We weren’t full when we left. But we were satisfied. The food was so good and overall I would definitely come back for the flavor alone! Definitely worth 4 stars ⭐️

    This was my second time here and just like the first, it was great. The wait outside didn’t take too long, we just waited 5 minutes! We ordered the biggest platter they had and it took around 30 minutes, but understandable since it was a big batch. Our hostess was very nice and accommodating of our needs, they provided us with all the tools we needed for our seafood digging! Great atmosphere and great tasting food! Parking was easy enough and the bathrooms were clean and stocked.

    Visiting from San Antonio saw this when driving around so decided to stop. Wait time given was 30 to 45 mins but we were seated sooner. Blue crab was out so it was substituted with some more shrimp 🍤 so that was a bummer. Um food was okay, not much flavor. The clams and red bean and rice were very spicy. There really isn't much selection. I have yet to find a place that is better than smashing crab 🦀

    What an experience! The place is quirky with Cajun music playing. The atmosphere was great and lively. We had a great time. Food was delish! My kids had fun and enjoyed their meal. The scissors and mallots made eating the crab legs and shrimp sooooo much easier! The staff was great and hardworking. You won't be disappointed! Makes for a fun night out with friends and/or family.

    The oysters were extremely fresh. Loved the boil. Order it with extra spice otherwise it might be too bland (if you like flavor). I added an extra pound of shrimp. Took a while to take our drink order. Server was really friendly though.

    I had an outstanding experience at this seafood restaurant! The ambiance was delightful, the service was impeccable, and the food arrived promptly. We visited on a Sunday, and we were seated without any wait. A perfect place for seafood lovers. 5 stars!
