Uggh so my friend wanted to come here food was bland & tasteless specifically the shrimp was overcooked but smooshy at the same time no flavor in the bag yes we choose regular I understand no spice but no flavor I usually get same thing at the shaking seafood with no spice & it has flavor. Lemonade had no lemon no taste pepper lemon wings were regular flavor no pepper no lemon taste only thing good was the sweet potato fries we were hungry so we ate also the portions were small & limited menu compared to similar places same price thou waitress was very attentive but what a waste of our money. Will not be coming back.

My friends and I really enjoyed eating here! Our server was super lovely and the food was delicious. Also, who ever was on aux was eating up that K-pop playlist 😄!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kelley Hayes · Nov 2024

Went here over the summer with my husband and oldest kiddo. The vibe was great, great service and good music, and the food amazing!!! So much so we went back for my younger son’s birthday a few weeks ago. The boils are beyond amazing. Some of the crab legs were bigger then our heads lol. If you’re looking for great sea food I highly recommend giving them a try.
