    Seafood Gumbo
    John G.

    I let my wife pick our dinner spot last night, and she wanted to go back to Crab Du Jour, so it's obviously a favorite of hers. The restaurant was very clean, almost sparkly. This time our server was not only quick, but also knew the menu and made good recommendations. My wife had her usual Dungie crab and shrimp boil with sausage. It had a fair amount of kick, especially the sausage. Would love to be able to get some at the market. I tried their gumbo, then their seafood pasta. The gumbo was wonderful, even had pieces of okra in it (call me weird, but I LIKE okra), and was very savory and filling. The seafood pasta was also good, with clams, mussels and shrimp in marinara, but could have used a pinch more salt in the pasta water and maybe a minute less boiling time. All-in-all, a very good dinner at a fair price. I'm already looking forward to a future visit.

    Overcooked egg.  Crab is small but the picture doesn't show that very well

    Just go to Red Lobster. The server was fantastic. This was not her fault. My seafood boil was the WORST I've ever had. The corn was good. The egg was overcooked along with the crab. The shell was so soft and wouldn't crack, it bent. In fact, at one point my crab meat shot out onto the floor because it was so rubbery! Not to mention the snow crab was ridiculously small. Not worth over $30. The music was great. The vibe of the restaurant is chill, but the cooks need some training.

    What a great find in Ashville NC. Best seafood restaurant. Our waiter was excellent helped us in suggesting our seafood broil. We ordered two different kinds of seafood. It's a lot to eat for one person. The sauce is to die for. Lobster , Crab legs , scallops and shrimp was just too yummy . Enjoyed their Margaritas too !! It's a must for those who are visiting Ashville NC.

    Host was great, server "Bianca" was great, food was awesome Price appeared high, but the amount of food was worth it. Spinach dip was terrible. Will give it 3 stars due to tiny lobby for people to stand in while waiting. Saw a lot of people leave when they had a 30 minute wait outside the door. Was told they are short staffed and caused the long wait times and build up of customers at the door. Probably a much better restaurant when fully staffed.

    Found this spot while on a business trip to Asheville. Service was horrible slow. Waiting almost 25 minutes for a drink so you can imagine how long we waited for food. Food was ok at most. Would not recommend this place until they get their service and wait times under control. I mean really....25 mins for a drink

    Food was just amazing. if you love seafood this is the spot to go. The server was very kind. She was willing to take off some things because we ordered too much lol but this is a fun place to go. You can grab a bigger group of people if you need they'll make it work.

    From Ebony greeting us with a smile, to Lyric taking our order and bringing us tasty, hot food from the kitchen. We were happy from opening the door to walking back out. Clean, friendly and VERY REASONABLE $$$$$$$ You could not eat quality seafood like this - at this price anywhere- I usually enjoy Vinnie's & The Lobster Trap locally and travel to Charleston for fresh seafood. We enjoyed this meal- it is family friendly and offers a full bar. This staff needs your help... let's assist these young people keep the doors open & going and maybe we can enjoy lots more wonderful meals as we did today .

    Boiled seafood WOW! We are from Cajun country; Lafayette, Louisiana. This is the closest to back home. We brought our neighbors, and they were impressed too. Lobster, shrimp, crab in Cajun seasoning- medium. Next time, I will get hot! Even the potatoes and corn were cooked perfectly. So we wanted a different appetizer. So We tried the shrimp fried rice. SUPRISE- IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL! We got a little soy on the side that made it even better. Next time, I hope they have it again. Colby, our waitor, was attentive and honest. Great service. Will be back soon!!! Carrot cake was the icing on the cake, literally. YUM!!

    Shrimp and sausage.   Damm good and plenty of food
    Ken M.

    First time visiting this location and to say the least will be back for sure. The bartender made the day. He was inviting, responsive, pretty Damm straight forward with anything u asked him. Funny as shit. Ordered the food and it came out quick and hot [headless shrimp and sausage med heat boil] very very good. Then for dessert i had a frozen daiquiri margarita. Mmmmmmmm Booya

    Shrimp and sausage boil with butter garlic, lemon, pepper and Cajun seasonings
    Belinda M.

    Tried Crab Du Jour today for the first time. My friend got a boil with shrimp, sausage that had some potato and corn on the cob. It was seasoned with butter and garlic, lemon pepper and Cajun seasoning. It looked amazing. I got some fried shrimp, it was big jumbo shrimp fried crispy with French fries. I also tried their crab cake which was also deliciodelicious. The boil my friend got was only about $13 and my shrimp was $11. Service was very good. Thank you Ms Lyric (sp?) for that. It was not very busy but I highly recommend y'all try It out.

    How to finish a long day of traveling?? With a nice dinner of course! Found this place close to my hotel. Started with a spicy margarita (they made it special for me), fried pickles for an app and a lobster meat po boy sandwich (aka cajun lobster roll...) and was really bad by finishing with a piece of chocolate cake (which I couldn't finish) Rachel took great care of me and made great recommendations.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Rocky's is the BEST hot chicken sandwich I've ever…read morehad. The spice level is customizable and spot on. I always order the hot and it's just enough heat! I'm tempted to try the next level, maybe next time!! Their service is fantastic, you order at the counter and get to seat yourself wherever. Spacious, with a covered outdoor seating option, and it's quick! They have mastered every aspect of their chicken sandwich. The chicken itself is perfectly spiced and breaded, not too heavy or greasy - melty cheese and delicious ranch dressing. Paired with soft ciabatta to create a masterpiece. Their crinkle cut fries are done right - crispy and seasoned generously. I could drink the ranch. The fried Mac poppers??? Just incredible. Their fresh squeezed lemonade definitely gives a certain popular fast food chicken chain a run for their money... We will always make a stop here anytime we're in Asheville. It's worth every penny, every calorie, and every mile driven. If you haven't been, you HAVE to try it!

    We stopped here for lunch while driving through Asheville…read more We ordered a brisket plate with baked beans and coleslaw. Amazing BBQ food! As it was a Thursday, our granddaughters pork sandwich meal with Mac n Cheese was FREE! What a terrific restaurant, it was truly some of the best BBQ I've ever had!! I'd give more stars, if possible.

The restaurant had indoor seating, along with a large outdoor area with plenty of tables. We headed inside, got into a relatively short line, and tried to figure out the ordering process, which was a little confusing at first. We eventually figured it out. One thing on the menu caught my attention: "Moink balls," which were described as bacon-wrapped meatballs. When I asked the server what kind of meat was in them, he told me they were out of Moink balls. I said okay, but asked if he could still tell me what kind of meat was in the meatball. He seemed very annoyed by the question, said "meat," when I pressed him, he said that he didn't know. We ended up ordering pulled pork, ribs, roasted corn, and mac and cheese. The food itself was good, and I especially liked the corn. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get past the way that server responded to what seemed like a simple and reasonable question.
