    Labor Day BBQ was complete with kalbi, boildaddy shrimp and clams and steak, noodles.
    Esther P.

    I am not a huge cajun food person but my good friend loves cajun food so I picked up some along with 6lbs of kalbi and the entire party loved it! This seafood boil was gone before the LA kalbi! They loved the Daddy Sauce and they are from OC where they have great crustacean food and boils. My takeout had plenty of sauce that we actually even smothered over our other raw shrimp we had on skewers to grill. I will definitely be back to bring more for my friends later.

    The place is good but the portions are horrible. I ordered the shrimp bowl and it came with ONE piece of sausage. The daddy sauce is tasty just be careful of the spice level

    Unseasoned. They don't season the shrimp or potatoes. They expect the sauce to be all the flavor I guess. But even that was lacking.

On the positive side, the service was very kind and friendly. However, overall the food was disappointing.

I loved how they give you an option to upgrade for peeled shrimps. I did this but sadly they don't give you the receipt back so wouldn't know how much more. ( you have to ask for it for them to give it to you) Service: The service was good although I didn't like that after 11pm it's ONLY CARDS. No CASH I ordered around 11:20pm and the girl allowed me to pay cash although she had already cashed out the registers. Although I did have to speak up for myself which I don't like because I know others would've left it like that. I called 15 mins before going to the restaurant to make sure they did accept cash and who ever picked up said YES. BUT then when I got there she said she couldn't accept my cash. I told her what happened about my call and the drive I did so she helped me out and accepted the cash. This is why I'm leaving it as a 4 star review. I didn't like that the person who picked up the phone call lied but the girl who helped me out with my order was kind turned it around. Ambience : The restaurant is small inside around 2 tables I believe but you can always take food to go and it's clean inside. But I can't say much about it because I did take it to go.

I couldn't believe I'd never reviewed it before so I wanted to do so following another delicious brunch at Joyce today. From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable. Our table never lacked for tea, water, coffee, etc. Foster took great care of us (and shout out to Nick who's also provided amazing service to us there). The Bloody Mary was the first thing to blow my mind. It was absolutely delicious and maybe my new favorite Bloody Mary in LA. It made me wish I'd Ubered. But I also had some wonderful hot, Earl Grey tea. I love how they present it to the table. We covered a lot of ground and no notes. We had the caviar with crème fraîche and truffle kettle chips, a seafood platter that , the fried green tomatoes - which I will order every time I'm there, and the Dungeness crab and rock shrimp Benedict. The dining room itself is beautiful--comfortable, stylish, and inviting. When you look around the room there, it feels like every table in there is celebrating something. In a city overflowing with brunch options, it's surprisingly rare to find a place where the food, service, atmosphere, and pacing all work together so seamlessly. It was one of those meals that reminds you why dining out can still feel special.

The music is fun, the vibes are lively, and they have multiple TVs playing all the games, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Reliable food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I'll always come back here and recommend it every time.

First off, the all you can eat is a set basket of food, meaning you get mussels, shrimp, clams, crawfish, potatoes, garlic noodles, corn and their daily basket.

Just for us to order, a bit disappointed honestly. The food arrives decently fast. I dig in, Mama B is hungry y'all! The shrimp is cheap, okay. Small, fishy, rubbery Walmart type of shrimps. The corn plasticy, cheap and just disgusting. The potatoes, poorly cooked and under seasoned. The clams... no notes. Now at this point Mama B is scared y'all...I wasn't trying to get food poisoning. I'm disappointed, honestly the most flavourless seafood boil I have ever had the displeasure of eating. What's horrifying is the bill was $91...$91!!!! I feel like this math is just not mathing. I believe the tax is ridiculously high and possible charged for water cups? I really truly could've made a mean Walmart seafood boil for a cheaper price, that'd actually be seasoned... Not Mama B approved, go elsewhere.
