It's also opened cracked and preseasoned for you so there's less work. The seasoning they use is wonderful and delicious and my son absolutely loves as well. We also really like that they have shrimp pasta and for only 8.99 that's a super deal. Their prices are good and very competitive. Not over priced at all. We usually get the largest combo which is corn potatoes shrimp snow crab blue crab and crawfish and that's around $54 dollars and it absolutely feeds more than 2 because me and my teenage son can't finish it all in one setting. I would definitely recommend and we will return.

Alright so my wife found some video about this business online while we were still in Charlotte, NC…read morewhich was probably because we mentioned Orlando around the phone and it started showing us food places in Orlando. Be careful what you say around your phone!! But this place was a hit not a miss. Granted it is a little hole in the wall spot but the young lady who took our orders was super friendly and really on top of her job. If I could take her back to Charlotte to work for My business I would and the cook was making it happen. I didn't get to eat my food until after it cooled down some because we drove a ways to get there but it was still great and the portions were amazing also. It is a little pricey for my taste but for the friendliness and the food I would pay it again! Their menu is simple which probably is what gives them the freedom to be so consistent. I would say please go see them you won't be disappointed cause I need them to still there be there or be bigger when we come back.

I saw this place on Instagram and the food looked really good, so I made plans to go try it. When I…read morewalked in, the restaurant looked run down and not what I expected. I waited almost 40 minutes for my food, and the place wasn't even busy. The food was overhyped in my opinion. It was basically a container of loaded fries a few over fried chicken bites with 2 or 3 fried shrimp, and it cost almost $35 for the plate. The drinks were about $5 each, and my total came out to around $50, which was definitely not worth it. I left very unsatisfied and would not go back. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The food truck may be a better option.

I ordered the fried snapper with arroz con gandules and sweet plantain. My husband ordered the pork chops. When I say delicious I absolutely mean that! Our hotel was 30 minutes away and I ate every bit of my meal on the ride. The fish was fried and seasoned to perfection and the rice had a great flavor...and I dont usually eat rice. I also got the passionfruit juice and the coquito bread pudding! They were both divine! My husband said his pork chops were moist and seasoned well and he really enjoyed his meal. Will definitely visit again. The fish meal was $40 so a bit pricey to me but the meal was very tasty and filling so I wont complain. Will pay for a solid meal.

The sauce that comes with it is great. My one downside is there should be a bigger cup with how much you get! Or give two small cups. Came here and ordered 1 1/2 pounds of crabs legs for first order and second order was 1 pound of crabs legs, 1/2 pound of green mussels, and 1/2 pound of blue mussels. The seafood was cooked to perfection. The meat inside the legs were not dehydrated, but nice and full! It was great. Muscles were great too, not rubbery at all. Cooked to the right point. The Cajun seasoning is not too spicy. I got the mild and my date got the medium Cajun. Got a cup of hot Cajun on the side and it was perfect. The spice level here is not too hot. So if you are familiar with Cajun, then go up one spice level to get your needs met. Honestly a great spot. Somewhat of a whole in the wall place. Check it out!

It was 30 minutes from our hotel, so I was hopeful that it wouldn't disappoint! We got there relatively early (20 minutes after they opened for the day), and nobody else was there, so that was kind of awkward, as was being told to order from a kiosk (or use the QR code at the table), rather than give my order to a human. But the kiosk allowed us to kind of 'shop' before making our decision, so that was good. Since we were the only customers, everything came out fast and fresh (in fact, his came out a few minutes before mine, so I had to steal his fries until mine came out, lol) Hubs got the Ultimate Smash Burger and Fries, which was delicious. Soft bun, big burger, delicious fries. I got the Chicken Dippers, and y'all - they were HUGE! And you got SIX of them! Well-seasoned and well-fried, with a flavor that I know I've had before (spice-wise), but I couldn't put my finger on. I ended up only eating two of the tenders, and brought the other 4 home for leftovers. The staff were all super-friendly and attentive. They gave me a box/bag for my leftovers, and bussed our trays when we were done. Seating is ALL tables, so if you're a "Booth Person" you might be bummed. But the seats were comfy, even on a bigger tushie like mine. Paper towels, salt & pepper, and ketchup were on the tables. The only 'con' for me was the hush puppies... it had pieces of corn in it. This is a personal preference, of course, but I like my HPs without pieces of corn or onions, so I didn't ding them for that! Great job to everyone here, everything was delicious. It's on my "Must Go Back" list for next time I'm in the area.

A Must-Try Seafood Spot - Crispy, Flavorful, and Worth the Trip!…read more If you're searching for fresh, perfectly fried seafood in the Orlando area, stop scrolling and head here -- this place is officially my new go-to spot. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they care about quality from start to finish. Shrimp (must-try): Hands down the star of the menu -- plump, juicy, and seasoned to perfection with a light, crispy breading. These shrimp are worth the visit alone. Crispy Cod: Golden on the outside, tender and flaky inside. It's lightly breaded and not greasy at all -- exactly how fried fish should be. Wings: These wings were definitely winging it -- flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The garlic parmesan is a can't-miss choice. Sides Done Right: The seasoned fries and thin onion rings had real flavor -- no bland filler sides here. The coleslaw was crisp and refreshing, and the mac & cheese? Epic. It tasted like Sunday dinner or holiday mac -- if you know, you know. Cornbread Surprise: A sweet, unexpected highlight with a flavor that could stand on its own as a dessert. Service That Stands Out: Special shout-out to Lisa Marie for her welcoming personality and great recommendations. She was attentive, professional, and truly made the meal even more enjoyable. Final Thoughts: This spot hits every mark -- fresh seafood, delicious sides, and exceptional service. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. If you're craving crispy fried shrimp or a comfort-food-style meal done right, this is absolutely worth the trip.

Stonington's Shrimp…read more Caught the $13 lunch special and went with the fried shrimp, mac & cheese, cornbread, and sweet tea and I could NOT stop drinking it! Lol The fried shrimp were cooked perfectly and the cornbread was SO good! Honestly, it was even better the next day when I finished my meal. The mac & cheese was unfortunately pretty bland for me. I was really looking forward to that mac since this was a cheat meal so I definitely wanted more flavor there! I also ordered whiting but they were out. I was disappointed BUT they gave me extra shrimp instead, so I definitely can't complain! The staff was nice and the overall experience was good. I'll definitely be back to try the shrimp scampi, some of their other fish options and more sides. Stonington's, I'll see you again!

I have been coming here for years now. I would alway try other all you can eat hotpot places in…read moreOrlando but this is definitely the one to beat and the one I keep coming back to. We came here first simply because the cheaper weekday lunch special, but man oh man do the flavors keep me coming back. First off their broths are amazing. You can mix your broths and they are not just flavored water either, you literally get all the herbs and spices poured into your bowl to keep those flavors strong. If you like spice I usually do half curry and half the szechuan broths. They have a bar style to serve the food and the sauces/toppings so no waiting for anything. They even have the noodles on a little track that goes around the seats which is so fun just to grab. In addition to the hot pot menu. They have an extra charge appetizers "extra selections (made when ordered)" menu that contains a hidden gem of this place. The wings!!! All of them are cooked amazingly with a juicy inside but a flavorful crunchy outside. If you do choose this option I would love to give a shout out to the Juicy 2.0 flavor. The last food thing I love about this place is the dessert. They have an ice cream cooler, but not no normal vanilla or chocolate ice cream cups. They have that ice cream selection they you probably remember getting out of an ice cream freezer in the gas station. ice cream sandwiches, those crunchy-on-the-outside popsicle and normal popsicle too. I can always only speak to the staff that received us, but everyone there is very friendly and accommodating. They were happy to explain the various broths and the different menu items especially when it came to the appetizer menu. I said it at the beginning, price-wise this place I'd say is comparable or better. If you are iffy on trying this place as your next hotpot adventure, coming here during the cheaper weekday lunch time is a no brainer with a price that is arguably hard to beat. If you're eating at the normal price, I would still say this place is going to give the best bang for your buck if you are looking for some high quality warm belly feels.

If you're a hot pot lover in Orlando, Juicy Pot on West Colonial is definitely a spot that deserves…read moreall the hype -- and honestly one of my favorite places to satisfy a hot pot craving. Every visit here feels cozy, flavorful, and perfect for gathering with family and friends. Let's talk about the broth because that's the real star. My absolute go-to (and forever favorite) is the Tom Yum broth -- it's rich, aromatic, and packed with that perfect balance of sour, spicy, and savory. I love customizing it the way I grew up enjoying Thai hot pot by adding extra mushrooms, tomatoes, chili peppers, cilantro, green onions, garlic, and a squeeze of lime juice. The flavor becomes even brighter and so comforting -- seriously next level. The ingredient selection is another huge win. There's a great variety of seafood, different meats, and an abundance of fresh veggies, so you can really build your bowl exactly how you want it. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are generous, making it one of the best hot pot experiences in Orlando by far. Friendly staffs. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, which makes it perfect for both small dinners and bigger group hangouts. I love coming here with my family and friends -- it's the kind of place where you can slow down, cook together, and just enjoy the moment. Hot pot just hits differently during the cooler season, but honestly... in Florida weather, it's good any time of year. Juicy Pot is always a place I'll come back to whenever I get the chance. If you're looking for a flavorful, comforting, and consistently satisfying hot pot spot, this one is definitely worth checking out.

For a bucket of raw oysters makes this place the most affordable place to get oysters. With your oysters. You get a bag of crackers and your own personal shucker. We've had the same server the last two times and I'm kicking myself for not knowing her name. But she is awesome. She does a great job of getting all of the oysters out of the shells and record time and she is always chatting with us. In addition to the bucket of oysters, we have also tried the fried oysters and the seafood boil. Fried oysters but the seafood boil was delicious. If you want they also have other menu options if you're not craving oysters. Our last visit I found a big Pearl and one of my oysters which is a rarity. So I felt very lucky. Lucky that I didn't chip my tooth from chomping on it. LOL They do have two types of hot sauces and can give you butter if you'd like some. They also give you horseradish to go with your oysters. Sadly, they did not have any soy sauce. Don't judge. If you're craving oysters at a reasonable price, head down to Lee and Rick's oyster bar. And get there before the rush from the tourists who go to the parks nearby.
