We also enjoyed the meal of crab legs, shrimp, potatoes and corn. The restaurant was clean and our waitress was helpful with some suggestions. The food came out pretty quickly and was nice and hot.

We were seated quickly and our server was super personable and a great addition to our meal. We started with fried calamari, hushpuppies, and the crab bites to start, then got our own seafood boils. I got the Hook & Reel Special Blend sauce with my bag and it was delicious. The flavor isn't overpowering The only knock I have is that their "fire" extra spicy flavoring/sauce isn't very spicy. I LOVE spicy food, so that was a bit disappointing.

(Though I travel 25 minutes for this treat…read more At Kickin' Cean you will find a variety of fresh seafood (mostly shellfish) offered in a variety of user defined flavors and styles. From king crab to fried jumbo shrimp, this food won't disappoint. Their house seasoning for fries and other fried foods is amazing. Both sweet and sassy, but very addictive. The homemade cocktail sauce seems to employ the same flavors as part of their mix. Yum! Preeling, cracking, and dipping makes for a messy meal so dress accordingly. The tables have fresh paper on top, ready for you to do your worst. Bibs and tools, too! Service here is very attentive and friendly. The dinning room is casual and spacious. This is a local gem open for lunch and dinner! Fresh seafood and lots of bold flavors await!

I was in the area and craving fried oysters, so I decided to stop by. Originally, I was only…read moreplanning to order the fried oysters with fried shrimp and fries. I had tried a seafood boil from here a while back, and the sauce wasn't as good as what I've had from a local competitor. However, my boyfriend insisted that we give it another try, so we ended up ordering the Kickin Combo #1, along with a dozen raw oysters and an order of fried oysters and fries. The raw oysters came out first. I didn't want any, so they were for my boyfriend. Immediately after trying the first one, he wasn't happy with it. He said it tasted fishy but decided to give another one a try, thinking maybe the first was just a bad one. Unfortunately, the second wasn't any better, so he sent them back. Next came the fried food, which is never a miss. I absolutely love the fried oysters here. Then the seafood boil arrived, and at first glance, it looked promising. The seafood appeared large and fresh. I grabbed a shrimp first, sucked the head, and immediately noticed a strong fishy taste. I then dipped the shrimp into the sauce, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I tried a few of the other items in the boil, including a mussel, but the texture was extremely chewy. Between my boyfriend and me, we ate a total of about ten or less things from the boil before deciding we were done. Unfortunately, it was not good whatsoever, and I was extremely disappointed. I asked if there was anything that could be done, and the manager offered to reheat it. I explained that the temperature wasn't the issue but the fishy taste and the texture of the seafood. He then said there wasn't anything else he could do besides take 20% off the bill. While I appreciated the discount, it was still disappointing given how much of the meal we were unable to eat. The service itself was good, and the ambiance was chill, especially since we went during dinner. Unfortunately, though, the food quality of the seafood boil and raw oysters overshadowed the positives for me. All in all, I won't be returning.

It's still a good time to catch up with your friends The pricing is good if you have rewards to use .

We celebrated a birthday today with a party of ten…read more We arrived with a cake that they took for us and put in the refrigerator. The food was good and most of the meals served had a large amount of food. We were a bit disappointed with the amount of food on the Snapper plate we ordered. It was a $50 meal and other meals on the table had twice as much food and those were half the price. The cake was brought out at the end of our meal with clean plates and forks. We will be back to try other meals on the menu, as it was hard to decide today.

I'm usually super excited to go to Pappadeaux. Their parking lot is pretty nice-sized, so parking…read moreshould not be an issue. Our server was pleasant. I attempted to order the crab and spinach dip with the garlic bread like I typically do at other locations, and my server told me if I were to order it with the garlic bread, it would be an additional charge and I would only get two. I was shocked. I've ordered that and other locations, and that was my first time hearing that I would be charged extra to swap out the bread and then on top of that only receive two pieces. I ordered the Texas redfish pontchartrain with mashed potatoes. I asked if I could add cheese, and I was told yes; however, when it came, there was no cheese, and our server took so long to return, I didn't even bother. In addition, by that time I was already turned off with the bland fish that had several bones, minimal sauce, and overcooked shrimp. I was extremely displeased. I wish I would have just stuck with a fried dish, such as the chicken tenders and shrimp. That would be a safer choice. Both the fried shrimp and chicken tenders were pretty good, but know that they have a kick. The brownie dessert was pretty good. It was actually the highlight of the evening after a disappointing meal. I will never return to this location.

We ordered the lobster bisque, calamari, and stuffed flounder, and here is how we ranked each item. - Lobster Bisque - 9/10 very creamy with a lot of flavor - Calamari - 3/10. I wouldn't have eaten more than one if it wasn't for the marmalade sauce. - Stuffed Flounder - 4/10 the potatoes that come with are amazing but its almost like they expected the seafood to be the only seasoning the fish received so its very bland when you eat. If you are looking for a good cider, American Apple is the way to go, strong at 8%! The service we received was excellent. Waitresses who can have a genuine conversation always make my experience worthwhile!

Our favorite server Jennifer was FABULOUS as usual! We go on Mondays just to see her and get that tasty fish! They also have a bogo shrimp on Thursdays but the last time we went for that it was a bust bc they didn't have but 2 servers and neither were happy campers! I've been coming here since they opened and I'm so sad that the owner passed away recently. The place reminds me of a seafood joint at the beach nothing fancy just great food! I can say this when you go to wash your hands the water gets hot super quick not luke warm I mean hot! Which is great to get rid of any fish smells . There are 2 other locations one in Winder and one in Loganvlle both called Shuckums BUT the City of Lawrenceville balked at that name so they settled on Oyster Bay! Definitely an asset to downtown Lawrenceville.
