Reviews
We had such a great experience. I ordered a dish that had too much garlic and sauce for my liking but they were able to replace it with something else- no questions asked. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. Her upbeat personality made the mood much happier. The food was delicious and plenty, as you can see. :) We will definitely be returning. Thank you for the awesome service.
Great food and service. I took the whole family with a close.friend. We ordered combo and combo . Combo is shrimp, mussels and crawfish. Combo is with either crab or lobster and with either shrimp, crawfish, mussels or clams. Both came with sausage, potatoes and corn.Our server is very nice. I like this place better than Boiling Crab where BC is always busy and usually, cuatomers are rushed out since people are waiting outside.Food are comparable and actually I like it better here because the sauce is not as salty as BC.. I would definitely come back to this place.
Although my main server was excellent , Ava was also a fast and friendly server! Everything was delicious and fresh! I did not wait very long for service and for my food. Had the snow crab legs with cracking seasoning, corn, and asked for rice later.Will be coming back for sure!
