★★★★☆ 4.0 Nina Patterson · Dec 2025

The food is positively outstanding. I have had seafood boils in the past, this was far superior! My sister and I had the crab and shrimp boil with garlic butter and finished the whole bag. The only thing missing was sausages which is fine because I'm not crazy for pork. They could have thrown another potato in there, but otherwise it was perfect. I am nearly fifty years on this earth and have never had corn so delicious before. The theme is obviously under the sea with a splash of American staples like licensed plates decor and life-sized Blues brothers in front of a stage. They've also thrown in a claw machine for fun. The biggest issue I had is that there was a smelly mop bucket in the corner on the way to the bathroom. But I cannot stress enough that the food was amazing and I will ret

I ate here with a friend last night 2/28, for a birthday dinner and the service was not good at all. There are a lot of places in Altamonte and Orlando to choose to eat, and a business should have better customer service than there was here. It took a very long time to receive my drink while my friend had already received his. The server was passive-aggressive and placed our utensils down on the table aggressively. She never came back to see how our food was and never asked If I wanted a refill. I am an easy and courteous customer and could not understand why she kept giving me dirty looks. It’s as if she was angry because I changed my drink order to a Sprite because it was taking so long to receive a daiquiri. I was a server in the past and this was not the way we were trained to treat a

We had dinner here tonight and wanted to share our experience! The food was amazing. My husband and I both ordered the snow crab, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The seasoning was spot on, everything tasted fresh, and it was exactly what you hope for when you go out for a seafood boil. The service did lack a bit. We’re not sure if they were short staffed, but it took quite a while for a waiter to come by and check on us. Once we were helped, things were fine — it just wasn’t very attentive throughout the meal. Overall cleanliness was alright. The booths were clean and comfortable, but the restaurant itself looks a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention. Even with a few drawbacks, the food really was the highlight and would be the reason we’d consider comin

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mohammed Tayyib · Mar 2026

Great pricing, horrible service. I’ve been here maybe 3 times dining in and each time gets worse. You’re waiting for at least 15 minutes before you’re greeted after seating, and it’s not like they don’t see you. They look and walk. Food is always good but probably going with the takeout route next time. Genuinely such a waste of time sitting in this restaurant, at that point yall owe me a tip.

Customer service sucks! 1st time TRYING to eat at this place. Walked in and the gentleman said I'll be with you in moment. Zero ppl ahead of us waiting to be seated and the establishment was more than half empty. Ok, me and my 2 ppl in my party ( 3 of us total) wait as this same man went back and forth to the kitchen, a table or 2 and back to the register 2 times. Ok fine still waiting and looking at the to go menu. Another lady walked by smiled and said the same, I'll be with you in a minute. Finally the man comes back to the register/ front and asks what we wanted to order to go? I said to go, we can't eat here? I guess he assumed we wanted to go since we were looking at the to go menu while waiting. He finally seated us. From asking about if there were any drink specials, (since it s
