★★★★★ 5.0 Angelica Hurst · Feb 2026

We walked over here after a really bad experience at K1 speed. They were ready to immediately see us, but we chose to sit at the bar and she was absolutely amazing. The bartender was wonderful. The drinks were great. The food was so amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

Anne was our server and she was lovely. The food was great for the price considering we went during lunch. The only con I had was that the crab legs seemed to be a bit premature. Other than that, I would recommend this place for a great seafood boil spot.

They were not staffed properly for Valentine's Day 2026. I placed at order at 650pm for 2 boil bags. I didn't get my food until 8pm. I was expecting a longer wait because of the fake holiday but 2 hours for food they warm up is unacceptable. To top it off when I got home my $91 order was wrong and the wonderful manager Naomi offered me a $10 credit for my "next" visit. Take that $10 and shove it where the sun don't shine "sunshine"

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jessica S · Jan 2026

Worst meal & service I’ve had in a long time! Three people and we ordered a combined 2.5lbs of crab legs - 85% of those were empty/no crab meat. We’re not one to complain, but when we couldn’t crack them from being so soft (literally folded in half), we spoke up & they brought the exact same bag out to us. Health code violation. We should have refused at that point, but once again - we try to make the best of the situation. After peeling the legs open, we noticed most of them were empty… our waitress NEVER checked on us or refilled drinks until we were cleaning up, as she was busy socializing and taking pictures with a party & in the bathroom on her phone. We kept the empty shells to show her (once waved down) and she sent over “manager”... this lady did not provide her name. She gracious
