I wholeheartedly give this place a 10 out of 10 recommendation! 😛 From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Our waitress was nothing short of amazing; she was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit, ensuring that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal to the fullest. Now, let's talk about the food! It was nothing short of divine—truly a culinary delight! We decided to indulge in two different seafood combos, and we couldn't resist adding mussels to our order, along with some mouthwatering fried catfish. The catfish was perfectly cooked, soft and tender, with a delightful crunch on the outside. The seafood was seasoned with a spicy Cajun flair that brought

I was the only person in the restaurant, so I couldn’t understand why it took over 30 minutes to receive some bland, frozen seafood. They weren’t selling any alcoholic beverages, but bar was fully stocked. I asked for 1lb of spicy in their house sauce shrimp and black mussles. The flavor was very bland. The shrimp they served were rubbery frozen cocktail shrimp that doesn’t absorb any flavor and the mussles were over cooked and very small. Very overpriced, poor service. I’m a very dissatisfied customer, and would never go back.

We drove over two hours combined just to try this place & was highly disappointed. We were the only ones dinning in. Took over a hour to receive the food & even had to ask how much longer as other similar businesses are a lot quicker! Another worker asked if we had our drinks yet as they were clearly not on the same page. My meal came with potatoes and corn, but came without as it was forgotten about. My flavor wasn’t what I requested. Macaroni, yams & cabbage were horrible. The crab legs were very skinny with barely any meat. Didn’t seem like they were weighed. Even voiced this to the waitress and nothing was done for any of the inconveniences! Poor customer service as the waitress voiced being tired multiple times & did not check in on us what’s so ever, no refills etc. Please save your

Great food though.

The chicken Alfredo tasted good and looked good but the sauce was like water no thickness to it at all , we got a crab boil spent over 100.00 on it and it was so small there was 3 tiny little slices of sausage in it ,again it had good flavor just very skimpy servings, we had to wait a very long time for our food the chicken Alfredo came out 20 minutes before my daughters crab boil and it wasn't hot just warm , then once the crab boil came out the waitress let us know the potatoes wasn't done yet but would be out in five minutes, 45 minutes later we had been done eating and sat for a long while just waiting and still hadn't received the potatoes so once we found the waitress we asked for our check and the cook came out and gave us a nasty look of disgust as if we did something wrong and no
