Customer Reviews
This place is insane. My Asian friends, who have super high standards for seafood, had their faith in American cuisine restored. One of them said "This is the best oyster i had in North America" We ordered fried soft shell crabs, bucket with shrimp, oyster & crab legs, and Gumbo. Everything was perfect. We will visit often.
It’s shocking how the quality has gone down. Ordered a large amount of crab and shrimp to feed 6 people and the amount of sauce in the bags, barely enough for 2 people. It used to be 5 star food and service but alas not anymore!
Been there couples time before and dine in there. BUT I ordered Togo yesterday, the shrimp are NOT FRESH, you can taste that. But before I dine in the shrimp quality is good. Won’t go back again, waste my money.
We went on a weekday and the two of us were seated right away in a booth. Our wonderful server was Ron and he did a great job advising us what to order. I would say that this place would be better suited for larger groups. They did not have a seafood bucket with a variety of seafood like other restaurants. Each order for the seafood boil had a 1 lb minimum, except for shrimp where you can order ½ lb. Since there were only two of us, we were limited on what we could order. We ordered 1 lb of Alaskan snow crab legs, 1 lb of clams, and ½lb of shrimp (with heads). All in the Sha Bang sauce, which was pretty tasty. We were advised to order it in Mild. Glad we did because it did have a little heat and Medium might have been a bit too spicy. Food came out pretty quickly. It was fun to dump eve
Solid spot. We ordered the king crab and calamari—both hit the mark. The vibe was great, and Chris (our waiter) really made the experience smooth—shout out to him. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.
