If you're craving seafood and fried goodness, this spot is a must-visit! The crab legs were absolutely incredible—perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat. They did rely heavily on the butter completing the taste, but is was super delicious. The cheese curds were another highlight. The garlic seasoning took them to the next level, making them one of the best I’ve ever had. They were crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and packed with flavor. The mozzarella sticks were decent—nothing extraordinary, but still a solid option if you're a fan of classic appetizers. The surprise standout for me was the hot hush puppies with butter. They were warm, golden, and paired perfectly with the butter for a rich, comforting bite. Simply amazing! Overall, this p

Been meaning to try the crab cake and crab legs here. Finally made it out, and they did not disappoint! Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Chef’s kiss yum! Hubs and kiddos were all happy with their meals too. They had fried shrimp and chicken tenders. Cheese curds and hush puppies for appetizers. Will definitely be back!

First time here & I’m from Maryland. Got Maryland crab soup & it was delicious then got pan seared crab cake platter & there’s no filler & tastes just like MD! Sat at the bar & the service was great.

The seafood is fresh and prepared well. Most of is fried food except for delicious grilled oysters and fresh steamed crab, which is their specialty. A perfect place for a casual lunch or informal dinner. I recommend you give it a try.

Ordered the blue crabs, fried sample platter and a piece of fried fish. All of the food was cooked fresh and was seasoned and cooked deliciously. I would definitely recommend and will be back again soon!!
