This is my go to seafood boil because they have specials during the week and weekend. I usually get the highest level of shove and to me it's not as spicy but I love spice.

This was our first time coming here while in the Chicagoland area. Our friend who lives here…read moresuggested this place. It's in a shopping center with plenty of parking. The ambiance is casual with great service and great attitudes. It is a very clean establishment. We were well taken care of by our server. The place stayed busy but the food was just good and lacked seasonings. Maybe it is just a Texas thing. We each ordered our own bag with a variety of items upon likes. I personally ordered the shrimp, crawfish, sausage, corn and potatoes in a spicy sauce that was not spicy at all and lacked flavor even though I ordered the 3 spice hot sauce. The headless shrimp were good sized and cleaned. The crawfish were mixed sized. Again, it lacked flavor. The potatoes were good and the corn was spicy, burned the lips. Another person in our party ordered a little bit of everything. He enjoyed everything and there was plenty of leftovers from the three bags for him to take home. We also ordered the garlic shrimp noodles which were ok after eating so much boiled seafood. The sweet potato fries were delicious and I recommend them. The sweet tea was great and we were surprised they even had sweet tea. I would try it again but it is a bit high. We spent $250 on a party of three.

The food is always fresh and cooked to order, and they have plenty of options. The service is usually good and staff are polite and friendly. I often joke with the cashiers about smiling if they're not. The best part of this restaurant is that they accept Link (EBT). They'll sell you the food uncooked, which allows you to use your benefits, but you have to pay a $1.00 cook fee if you want them to steam it for you. This isn't a dine in and eat restaurant. You place an order, pick up, and go. However, I could probably eat this every other day.

I still remember how incredibly tasty their fried shrimp was and still is. They offer multiple shrimp sizes to choose from, plus options like catfish, frog legs, and more. Everything is fried fresh to order, and I love that you can pick exactly how much you want. The seafood is flown in daily, and you can truly taste the difference. The jumbo shrimp are my personal favorite , it's so plump, juicy, and perfectly cooked every time. On top of that, the service is always friendly and welcoming. This place is not just delicious, it's nostalgic, comforting, and consistently amazing.

We…read morewere greeted and sat promptly, infused water was bought to the table and within 3-4 minutes the server arrived. While we waited music was being played so its hard to have a conversation. Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.
