I've never been the biggest fan of seafood boils, they are often rather bland and are almost always…read moremessy! If you have enough butter and sauces you can add some flavor, but a lot of the blandness remains, for me anyway. I've had seafood boils on the beach at Cape Cod, Hyman's Seafood in Charleston, and Willie's Boil House in the French Quarter, among others. And I was blown away by none. In a discussion with a friend, he disagreed with my position and suggested I give some local spots a try, and be very generous with all types of accompanying sauces, especially spicy ones, and don't skip the butter! So I am planning to try a few spots heading into the new year, starting with this spot. I ordered the weekend special, shrimp, lobster tail, and small crab cluster. This comes with potatoes and corn. This was not at all a bad meal, the shrimp were very tasty. The lobster tail was a bit chewy though the flavor was nice. The crab cluster produced some nice bits of meat, but this was a very small cluster. The veggies were just ok, on the dull side. While not all bad, this was very expensive and I would not come close to ordering this again - in fact I don't see a return visit, period!

I ordered the Mediterranean one... delicious. They have a goid Wednesday $5 cocktail night you don't want to miss. Some were not bad, others were just like drinking fruit drinks. Their brownie sundae looked great, but the brownie was a bit crumbly and cake like, not very brownie, if that makes sense. The ice cream and chocolate sauce was delicious though. So we'll definitely be back.

There is a drink special daily and Wednesday was $5.00 bar mixed drinks on the menu. The drinks were not strong and too sweet for me, but some may like them. I got a Mediterranean flat bread that was tasty and loaded. I would say this is a good place for a local meal.

However, they were tasty. Had the shrimp boil, which really isn't a boil. It is steamed shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage on a platter with seasoning on top. Seasoned butter was unimpressive and it wasn't needed for me. It was seasoned well and I didn't want the extra salt anyway. Sat at the bar that has sections that can seat couples or 4 persons and under standing. Ambiance ok with good music played at a respectful level, parking lot sufficient and bathrooms were very clean.

Location is nice. Large amount of indoor seating. Nice large bar area. Place was clean. Very nice drink menu with craft cocktails. I wasn't able to partake since it was lunch. I got the lunch special which was a shrimp boil. It was okay (photo posted). Nothing to write home about. A few shrimp, potatoes, corn and some sausage. I would order something else next time. I'll return but my first visit to this location was underwhelming. Hopefully my next visit will be better.

It's a small place in the corner of a strip-mall, but it gets the job done. We had never eaten here. Just passed it and thought, why not? I had a cheeseburger and fries and they were great! We tried their cheese sticks as well as hush puppies and they were yummy, too! We will definitely go again if in the area!

This is a small place with maybe 20 tables and booths, and they are close together so the conversation noise can be distracting! On my latest visit I again chose the fried bone-in pork chops, along with mashed potatoes with gravy and pinto beans. My order was out quickly and everything was nicely prepared. Total cost, with sweet tea, was $12.54. This is a nice Southern diner, simple place with good food and good service. I recommend! Note that they do charge a surcharge for CC use - their choice. My choice is to adjust my tip to compensate, which I did!

Y'all have heard of seafood boils. Some call them Low Country Boils. I call this the LOWER Country…read moreBoil. Mariscada en Bolsa. Seafood in a bag. Not only did I have the pleasure of trying this absolutely amazing dish, I had the pleasure of having leftovers. Let me tell y'all. This? This is food. This is where culture means Cajun. This is where innovation meets culinary. A quick run down of what we're looking at here. First, I have the seafood boat. A LITERAL boat topped with a fish as the sail. Ugly fish staring at me, but absolutely delicious. Crispy. Yummy. The boat had the BEST ceviche I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Fresh, seafoody, and scrumptious. Pair this with crab, extremely crispy fried shrimp, oysters, more shrimp, and so many things I could write a post about just this item and still feel like it's not enough. Second, I have the House Sauce Seafood Boil. Now, this is just the prototype. They're also wanting to add sausage to this, make different types, as well as do a headless shrimp version. This was... What can I say? Delicious? Juicy? Scrumptious? What I do know to say is this: I'd buy it again. It was massive, it was filling, it was messy. Last and not least, we have the Super Fajitas. 4 kinds of meat, vegetables, tortillas. This is a meat lover's dream with sour cream. Delectable. Sizzling. Fresh. Mmm. Leftovers. The fancy drink? Locarita. Pink Flamingo or something like that. That was allllll my wife's and she savored every sip. There was more than enough food here. We ended up with enough leftovers to last us a year, I swear. Try it out. Let me know. Let's geek out about fresh food from a fantastic staff with the best food, and honestly, the best family environment. Bonus picture of my wife kissing the ugly fish. She's my better half and the more adventurous eater.

We stepped a little outside the Triad for this visit, and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we…read morewalked into Los Muelles Mexican Seafood & Grill, we felt welcomed -- not just as customers, but as guests. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm, and the energy is just good. You can tell immediately that a lot of heart, time, and pride went into creating this space. We originally planned on getting queso and chips, but the owner recommended the seafood dip instead... and I'm thankful we listened. It was creamy, rich, and loaded with seafood. So good that at times we were literally asking each other, "Wait... what seafood is this?" -- and we didn't care because every bite was amazing. Then came the Barco El Patrón seafood boat, and whew. That thing is no joke. The presentation alone is impressive, but the flavor and portion size took it to another level. This is absolutely a shareable dish -- enough food for multiple people -- and you can tell a lot of effort goes into making it just right. My birria taquitos were hands down the best birria I've had in North Carolina. Crispy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with care. Every bite was worth it. And let's talk about the drinks. I had a cocktail flight created by Erica, and every single one was delicious. Balanced, smooth, and full of flavor -- not overly strong, just made really well. I enjoyed all four without feeling overwhelmed, which says a lot. But honestly, what stood out the most was the hospitality. Erica and her husband were kind, attentive, and genuinely thankful that we were there. They even refused our tips, which just shows the type of people they are. You can feel the love they have for their business and their customers. This is the kind of place you're happy to support. Amazing food, great drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and people who truly care. We'll definitely be back.

We had a couple spinach and artichoke dip to share, and our dinners ranged from chicken Parmesan, the seafood pasta, to beef tenderloin. All the food was very good, no complaints at all from my wife or any of my kids. For dessert we shared the lemon blueberry cake, the banana pudding cake, and brownie and ice cream. We passed them around and everybody loved them all. The server was very nice, and we had a great experience. This place was about 30 minutes from us, so I'm not sure if we'll be back, but I definitely recommend this to anyone celebrating a special occasion or that lives nearby.

I was able to set something up about a week in advance as that's all the time I had to know what our game schedules were, they had a simple to use online form and I got a call within minutes of submitting it and they easily accommodated us. They had an area that we could all take over without being in the way, staff worked through us like an assembly line and food came out in the order it was ordered with no problems. Everyone was very happy with what they got, and the menu selection was large enough that no one had any complaints about choices, and every one left happy.

We made reservations and were seated right away. Our waiter, David, was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly knowledge about the menu, honest with his recommendations, personable, and very attentive throughout our visit. (Somebody give that man a raise!) The atmosphere was warm, sophisticated, and causal all at the same time.The dim lights created a nice ambiance without being so dark that you can't see. The dining room offers a mix of traditional tables, semi-private booths and a bar area. They also have a private room available. The bathroom was very clean and even smelled fresh. They had a good mix of music and a television is available at the bar. Now for the really important stuff. The food was absolutely amazing! I tried the Moravian cookie-pecan crusted salmon with collard greens, zucchini. The meal was a nice size and tasted amazing. I ate every bite. For dessert, we tried the White chocolate-almond bread pudding with vanilla bean ice cream. I'm usually not a bread pudding kinda girl, but this was the exception. Like everything else, it was delicious. This was an awesome visit. HIGHLY recommend!

The octopus inside is tiny but they're pretty good. The servers are always nice, though the service is on the slow side most of the time.
