★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Alejo · Dec 2025

We were a group of 4 people. One of us is celiac and, given the total lack of gluten-free options on the menu (confirmed by the waiter), she had to buy something elsewhere so she could join us while the rest of us ate 2 pounds of shrimp and a fish. The unbelievable part was that, halfway through the meal, the waiter threatened us, saying she couldn't eat that there and that if the supervisor noticed, 'he would kick us all out.' This was an aggressive and completely unempathetic attitude. I do not recommend a place where you are threatened with being kicked out due to a medical condition that they themselves cannot accommodate. Terrible service.

My daughter took my son and I to this place for his birthday. We were initially going to go to The Boiling Crab, when my daughter stumbled across this place on the internet. This is now our new spot! We didn’t wait too long to be seated, we had excellent service, and the food was on point. The chicken wings, fries, fried shrimp, & onion rings were PIPING HOT! (I forgot to take pics) That’s rare at restaurants. Usually those kinds of foods would be served warm, but not here. We appreciated that cuz it stay hot throughout our entire meal. The crab wasn’t over cooked; it snapped perfectly so I didn’t need the crab cracker to retrieve the meat. The restaurant also had the games on which is a plus since we’re sports fans. They gave my son a cheesecake and even played 50 Cents song “go shawty,

Came here around 3:30PM on a Wednesday. There were many seats available and we were seated immediately with no wait. We ordered the kickin combo deal #1 of 2 pounds of head-off shrimp and 1 pound of crawfish. We got this with kickin style seasoning and mild spices. 2 rices were also ordered. Everything came out super quick and was devoured. It was deliciously seasoned. Service was good too as our server made sure our waters were filled and made sure to fulfill any of our requests. I liked that the sinks are located outside the bathroom because it made it more convenient to wash our hands. Overall, would probably come again. Really liked this location.

This place is good. The service was fast. The crab legs where good thick and juicy. A must go.
