★★★★★ 5.0 Donovan Lopez · Jan 2026

The seafood boil is amazing. The options are great, and leave you stuffed; even if you're a messy eater be assured that you won't get dirty. The lobster is great, and the shrimp too. They also have a great fried food platter. The staff is very friendly, and they are great at remembering people. I came with my father once, yet when I came with him for only the second time they recognized me right away.

We ordered the fried platter and build your own seafood boil with 3x spicy garlic sauce. Everything was delicious especially the fried calamari and fried fish... mussels and lobster were so tender and flavorful. We will definitely be back again soon

I paid $145 to get food poisoning so bad I had to take off work today, so I won't be back again. Ended up throwing up, diarrhea, the whole nine yards. The shrimp and crab were overcooked, and the Cajun sauce is NOT Cajun. It's more like an Asian curry roux sauce. Our waiter took almost 10 minutes to come and get our drinks when we were first sat but he was polite the whole night which was nice... but the bare minimum. Also, paying for each side SEPARATELY? Potatoes, sausage and corn are supposed to come in a traditional boil and if you want more THEN you pay for add-ons. The fact that it's $2-4 for 1-2 sides is practically theft. The only good thing I can say about the food was that the shrimp and crab were generous in their portions. I rarely leave reviews like this, but this was just a t

Food was good but a little bit salty. We tried the garlic butter, Cajun, and lemon pepper and they are overly seasoned. Newly remodeled restaurant and it looks clean. Service is quick

Karen treated my group so well! She was super friendly and checked on us frequently to make sure we didn’t need anything. The food was amazing also.
