Hubby and I wanted to try seafood boil but we were very skeptical! This place is a hidden gem! The food was definitely better than we expected. From the appetizers to the entrees, so delicious! The drinks were okay, wouldn’t come here for drinks but everything else was 10/10. The vibes, music - love the fact Bad Bunny and Hispanic music was played instead of the normal/restaurant music. The dumplings 10/10, fried shrimp 10/10, the seafood boil was also a 10/10! And to top it all is not expensive at all!
We enjoy this seafood boil spot! Good variety on the menu. First discovered it and did take out and enjoyed the quality of the seafood. Then dined in with a group and then a smaller party. The oysters are fresh. The catfish basket with sweet potatoes is succulent, tender and delicious. Also got the Crab Island Green Tea, a tasty drink. The bathrooms seem clean. Parking can be a little tight but accessible. The sharpie writing alll over the walls is interesting but at times can be noisy to the eyes.
Let me tell you this place is a hidden gem. We found this place by accident and man will we be coming back many times. What a great atmosphere and service is excellent. For what we ordered our seafood boil had way more seafood than I thought we would get. What we paid for the food was perfect for the amount of food we got. All the food was amazing. The drinks were also on point. Definitely a must go to.
The food was mid, but it has a lot of potential. The crab legs were a good size with full clusters, but they didn’t have the crisp break I was hoping for and felt a bit slimy. Good, but they could’ve been better. Really putting effort into them can bring them a long way The shrimp were solid—no complaints there. The crawfish were okay. Ummm needs flavor The corn wasn’t bad, but I would’ve preferred sweet corn. The potatoes were overly large. I ordered the Island Special at medium heat. Overall, I wish the seasoning was stronger. I would’ve loved more garlic cooked into the boil bag and more butter to really pull the flavors through the seafood. It also seemed like the seafood may have been cooked from frozen and steamed, which left the bag tasting a bit watered down. That could explain
Today is my first time at this place, and it's definitely the best spot to go with family or your partner. The best seafood, the best drinks, and the service... wow, simply excellent!
