    One word: De-freaking-licious!! Help me, God, if I were a local I'd be frequenting this place like heck. Damn. First thing first, we got there for an early dinner so the place wasn't packed, with plenty of parking space too outside. We were greeted and seated immediately in one of their booths. I enjoyed the little details they put on their sea-themed decorations, definitely made me smile. The menu was very clear and straight-forward. I wanted to order everything. I got the 1/2 pound of shrimp and crawfish in their buttery garlic sauce, while he got the 1/2 pound of shrimp and crawfish with sides of 1/2 pound of sausages with their Boom sauce (all of their seasonings mixed together: Original/Crafty Cajun, Lemon Pepper, and Buttery Garlic). Man, it was all so juicy and paired well with the sauce - my head wanted to explode from how good every bite was. I gotta say that his Boom seasoning was better-balanced compared to my buttery garlic though, they did the spices right on that Boom sauce. I also ordered the Pina Colada for drink, you can't go wrong with some Pina Colada. It was fantastic, I couldn't be happier with everything. Service was great, there was a minor error with the bill but the server quickly fixed it with no issue when informed. Will I ever go back here? A thousand times yes.

    My hopes weren't high. I was very pleasantly surprised! The staff was pleasant. I ordered 1/2 pound crab and 1/2 pound headless shrimp with mild garlic sauce. The shrimp were large and plentiful. The crab cracked easily making crabmeat extraction a breeze. I was worried there wouldn't be enough food; I have a big appetite. Again I was surprised. I was completely satisfied. More would have been too much. The shrimp were the star. Big, plump and delicious. The crab was good. I would order it again. When we left I was totally like, "I'd come back here in a heartbeat".

    Met a friend here for dinner one evening last week. We both have wanted to try this place for a while. We were the only ones there when we arrived, which made me a little nervous, but maybe it's because it was a Tuesday and everyone else is committed to their new years resolution to eat out less. Obviously, that's not working for me. People came in while we were there, so I was glad to see it. I was worried New Orleans had spoiled me for seafood boils, but really it just inspired my love for them. The shrimp and snow crab boil I got was delicious. Their seasoning was great, I went with mild, because I wanted to see what their baseline flavor is. My friend went with fire, because she likes to feel the burn. Both were delicious, but I'm happy I went with mild! There is a third spicy level, medium, for those who want some heat. For sides, we got an order of hush puppies and the shrimp salad. I enjoyed both, the salad was plenty for the two of us to share, the hush puppies are also a generous serving and could definitely serve more than 2 - unless you love them as much as I do. By the end of the meal, we were both stuffed. I'm glad I finally made it here to try it, and now have a seafood boil place that's got great quality and doesn't require a flight! Be prepared to make a mountain of napkins, because this hands on experience sure can get messy!!

    Sea food boil.

    This place is amazing!! I live in Chillicothe and we come an hour and half to just eat here!! The service is always great!! Not sure why this place isn't packed daily. The food comes out quick and is the best sea boil around!! And the atmosphere is great!!

    Shrimp basket and coleslaw

    Both of us got the fried shrimp basket with onion rings, and one side of coleslaw. The small basket contained 10 medium sized shrimp and 6 small to medium onion rings. The side of coleslaw was about 2 - 3 ounces. The shrimp and coleslaw were almost tasteless, and the onion rings were OK at best. We will not be returning.

    Small mix seafood

    The food is amazing i love spicy but i got the level medium, i should get the mix sauce and level hot I went there on Tuesday 7 pm i have 1 server and she is fast enough for only one person serve many table.. the restaurant is clean and comfortable, the ambiance was great

    Crab legs, shrimp, corn and potatoes boil.

    What a great meal! I have been craving Crab Legs and boy this did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the service was on point and the entire experience was worth the more than reasonable cost. I will be back with friends soon. It was definitely worth the drive from NKY.

    Came to try out this new seafood place with my son. It was okay. The seafood tasted almost watery and anemic. There were quite a few people there considering they are fairly new. We did not have to wait. Not a place we plan on returning to. That's too bad. I like to support new businesses.

    The boil was delicious, pricing was not so bad for what you get when you consider we don't have many good seafood optiins near by

Stacy was absolutely amazing. She offered us so many options, was attentive, personable, and had such an incredible energy. Her positive attitude and willingness to make sure we were taken care of truly stood out. She was so delightful and made us feel valued as guests. After that, we had Pat as our server, and he was amazing as well! The service, attention, and overall experience completely changed for the better. Thank you, Pappadeaux, for such a great experience. We will definitely be back! Stacy, you truly made our visit so delightful. Thank you for going above and beyond! You deserve to be recognized for the wonderful job you're doing.

My first impression was wonderful, because my eldest son has a fish allergy. I inquired with our server whether they use separate oil to fry shrimp (he can eat shellfish). The kitchen manager comes to our table and assured us they do, but to be safe, they would drain the vat, clean it and pour fresh oil. I was in love after that. My most recent visit was for a corporate function and once again they did not disappoint. There was a colleague who stated she felt they'd gone downhill, but I could not cosign her opinion. We were sat in a separate room, had our designated servers, who didn't miss a beat. The food was phenomenal; I filled up and more to take home and comfort eat, lol. I'm a bathroom snob, so I had to snap a Pic. Theirs were clean and smelled good. Zero complaints!

Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a pretty big disappointment. We went to celebrate a birthday, and normally Jags has always made those occasions feel special. This time, there was zero recognition, which was really surprising and took away from what should have been a memorable celebration. Unfortunately, the service that day was also very poor. We're usually quick to recommend Jags because of how consistently great our experiences have been, so it was especially disappointing to leave feeling this way. Hopefully this was just an off night because we really do love Jags and would hate for one bad experience to change our opinion of a place we've driven two hours to visit so many times. We'll definitely think twice before making that drive again, though.

    I went to the original restaurant years ago and always remembered loving it, but it was…read moreunfortunately closed before I could go back. So I was really excited to try the new location. The service was fast, the staff was pleasant, there was tons of space for my antsy toddler to run a circle around our table and not bother anyone. The food was prepared well but all of it wasn't seasoned well. Here's what we ate: --Bistek de pollo a la pobre (thin pan fried chicken breast topped with a fried egg, served with rice, fries, and plantains). This chicken was perfection. So flavorful. I could've done without the egg but I also asked for it to be fried hard to do away with any funniness. I bet it's extra tasty that way for ppl who like that type of thing. --Mojarra Dorado (a fried whole tilapia). Cooked perfectly but the "Peruvian spices" the menu promises were either nonexistent or tasteless. We took most of this home, and I seasoned it up and added a sauce...much better and a quick meal! --kids chicken nuggets. I didn't try it, and honestly my little ppl were already full because of what I'm about to share next. Unsure if the toddler would like it, we fed the 3yo Wendy's chicken nuggets (it's in the same parking lot) before going in. While we were eating another couple came in with their little one in tow and a chick-fil-a bag...so maybe it's a thing to feed your children what they want so you can enjoy your experience in peace ‍ Either way, the staff seemed fine with them bringing food in. Lastly, about the staff being great: my 1yo upchucked before the food came, on herself and the highchair. They brought me paper towels to clean her up and then took away the dirty chair to clean and brought us a new one. I was all ready to clean that chair myself but they wouldn't let me. It was a kind gesture.

    Venue: This place is huge. They turn it into a nightclub at times and in the day a restaurant…read more Ample amount of parking and plenty of seating inside. They were at an old location before, but the upgrade is way nicer. You can definitely come here with the family, kids, or by yourself. Prices: The price for the food can get expensive but the amount of food they give you is worth it. So definitely the price and food amount add up. Like my fav dish is the fried rice, and it's like 22$, but it feeds 2. Service- I think they could do a lot better with their service it takes them a while before the waiter will come around and refill your water, so not bad but not the best. Just whenever you get your waiter or waitress, make sure you give everything to them because you might not see them in a while. Food - the food here is amazing it tastes very fresh and very flavorful. From a 0 and spice level to 100 if you like, I love the variety of that. Like I said, my favorite food here is the fried rice with shrimp. I could eat this every day with the green pepper. I would have posted pictures, but I ate it before I could even think next time, LOL.
