Went here 2 weeks ago with my husband and our 2 year old. Loved the food, the boil was perfect and my sons order was plenty for him. I got the fried shrimp and the breading was perfect. Tartar sauce is on point! Our waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu and very attentive. We will definitely be back thank you!

In a word: disappointed. I was not impressed with the food at this restaurant. While they had a good selection of items to choose from such as the different seafood boils, the food itself was not that good. The broth tasted watery and under seasoned. The seafood gumbo tasted like it had been sitting for hours and tasted stale. The restaurant itself had a stale odor to it and didn’t smell like there was any flavorful cooking going on in the kitchen. The service was pretty good, although you had to ask for everything you needed to use to be brought to you. I definitely would not be going back to this restaurant.

Pretty nice atmosphere, pretty decent food and the prices weren’t horrible. I can definitely see myself returning here with a few friends, family or even a date. I ordered the crab meat grilled cheese and my mother ordered the grilled shrimp. We didn’t leave hungry or disappointed. I personally wanted more meat within my dish but other than that everything was tasty. I don’t remember the name of the bartender who served me but he had locs and was very charming. I would recommend this place to a friend.

I had been craving seafood lately, so we decided to give this place a try. We sat outside to enjoy the breeze of fresh air. There is plenty of outdoor seating and everything is spaced out. We began our dining experience with the crab stuffed tater tots. I would not get this appetizer again. It was nothing like what I expected and honestly I didn’t taste the crab even though I would see small pieces. It was only $8 and it was not necessarily nasty so I would say it was worth a try i suppose. It just wasn’t my cup of tea. We then ordered 5 pounds of crawfish, 1 order of sausage, and 1 order of potatoes a piece. Overall I spent $105. Compared to the price of 5 pounds crawfish at other places, I kind of felt ripped off. We got the hot kitchen sink flavor. Flavor wise, it was good but it was not hot at all. I would recommend the diablo if you want some real spice but even then, I doubt it would be spicy enough for my liking. I probably would not come back for the crawfish but I would be interested in exploring the other menu items. Our server was really nice and helpful. He was attentive and very helpful when it came to our questions.

This place is great. The kitchen sink flavor is AMAZING!! I’m probably going to get that flavor over cajun next time. The crawfish were a tad small right now, so I’m excited to go back in the coming months. We ordered the fried pickles & calamari for apps and they did not disappoint.
