    Someone recommended this place to me and I was in the neighborhood so dropped by for dinner last night. Had a dozen oysters, which were very large, nicely, chilled, and served with a nice accompaniment of red sauce, horseradish, lemon, and crackers. I then had the whole fried fish, which was a nice size portion and very tasty and came with two different kinds of beans, one of which had some tiny shrimp. Almost forgot, there were three or perhaps four grilled shrimp on top of the fish, which were delicious. French fries were good too. I was very impressed with the food at this place. My server, Adamari (on left in photo) was very welcoming, attentive, and made great recommendations! She made a very good meal even better! The young lady that brought the food to me, not pictured in the photo, was also very good at her job. I thought the prices were very reasonable. This may be the best seafood restaurant in Waco. This place had a nice atmosphere as well. Three cheers to the oyster shucker and chef.

    We ordered the snow crab (Louisiana style - on the spicy level) it was not really spicy or tasty. It was extremely salty and the body of the crab was still super cold. We also ordered fried oysters as an appetizer and they were terrible. They were well well done and tasted bad, like old oysters. The server was nice but not really good. Also they do not bring u utensils but scissors- so not the best there either.

    I'm unsure why this place has no reviews on Yelp! when there are plenty on Google. Does Waco not use Yelp?! I've been here the past two nights. I had the shrimp and crab leg combo bag last night and 1lb of shrimp tonight. Both came with 2 potatoes and corn. I got them seasoned Cajun which was very flavorful and both were delicious! The service was prompt and polite on both occasions, and the place is very clean with modern/contemporary crab shack decor if that makes sense In Waco for another week for work, and will probably be back a few more times LOL - Highly recommend!

    We went because a zydeco musician was advertising he'd be doing a show, but he wasn't. It look good, so we decided to eat there anyway. We were warmly greeted at the door and promoted seated. There was a singer who was very personable and would encouraged others to join or sing themselves. The words were on the screen over the bar and it was very entertaining. The waiter took our drink orders immediately and gave all 5 of us plenty if time to decide what to order. He also checked back to see if we had any questions. We did a 1lb shrimp boil with corn & potatoes, garlic shrimp, shrimp & scallop shishkabobs and a shrimp basket. Everything was delicious. The only negative with the food was everything came out at different time and before the last dinner arrived one was almost finished. At the end our waiter had disappeared so we had to go look for someone to pay our bill. We would definitely go back but I wish I could give a 4.5 because a 15 minute difference in when food comes out is really not good and not being able to get to go boxes or find our waiter to get the check is truly unacceptable. The first rule if business should be make it easy for the customer to give you money.

    Wife's Strawberry Margarita was amazing. The food was equally fantastic scallops and shrimp seasoned and cooked to perfection. Got to come back and have a dozen or so Oysters on the half shell.

    I've been there 3 times now, and every experience has been wonderful. The staff is amazing and very attentive. The layout of the restaurant is inviting that has a lot of tv screens. The drink menu is out of this world. Last visit on 11/10/24 I had lb crab legs steamed to order. Alejo the waiter took care of everything our table needed. Our table also ordered fried catfish that came with big portions and one of the combos that included shrimp and crab. I highly recommend dining here.

    Great space for large groups. By the pound seafood was great. I had the fire level heat and it had a kick but not too bad. Make sure to order a side of toast to soak up the juice. Bartender was great and attentive.

    I used to come here a lot and I loved it. The food went down hill and so did the service.

    We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.
