Crispy and really tasty. Everything else was good enough, including the hush puppies. It's in a small fast food building - windows are in desperate need of a cleaning - but the inside was clean.

Today I was lucky enough to try Pizza Inn, and wow.. I had no idea how pizza could be legally…read moreclassified as a cry for help. First of all, talking about menu, I should mention the following. Taco pizza? Hawaiian pizza with SPAM?? Hamburger pizza? Honestly speaking, I am wondering what kind of restaurant I am at, a pizza parlor or something that comes out of a late night fridge experiment. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the place offered to make a turd pizza with them. Talking about food, it seems that the pizza spent around thirty seconds in an oven when it was sent to me. Undercooked, struggling, it was so raw that one might say it is still bread dough. Seriously, even frozen pizzas cooked in microwave are better off. Speaking about salad, the lettuce looked like it was taken straight from a subway kitchen. Just some depressing shredded strips. Unfortunately, the atmosphere of the place was also discouraging. I sat there, looking at my plate and wondering whether it was my wrong meal choice or wrong path in life in general. I took three bites, THREE.. and my stomach immediately started protesting like it was a blue haired crybaby. At that point, I decided my health (and sanity) were more important than finishing whatever that was. Overall, if you're looking for pizza that tastes like it was cooked by a flashlight and seasoned with disappointment, this is your spot. Otherwise, you might want to go up the street to wendys.

First, their prices increased dramatically to about $60 per person which just isn't worth it, no matter how many crab legs you get. They changed the ordering system so now the crab legs are to-order from your waiter in buckets which isn't bad because it makes sure people get enough. The food was more cold this year and less tasty overall. Just seemed not worth it for the price. Our family did not return this summer 2025 due to the bad experience in 2024. Would not recommend anymore.

We should have known when we waked in and the door was so sprung had to kick it to open and half the sign was missing off the building! just wow. Not a complainer by far but I'd advise staying away!

Highly recommend if you're in the area!

With that being said theres 5 different types of Crab Legs and Lobster Claws , with several types a fried and baked Fish , Steak and a whole section of fried oysters, Scallops, different sizes of fried Shrimp then there was broiled and steamed of the above it all was incredible and they do have a small menu to order from its worth it. The Crab Legs were sooo fresh the meat just pulled right. Wish they were open on Sundays we would have gone back to it instead of the other not as good seafood buffet. Service wasn't something to comment on. Not tipping $50 for 1 refill. Sorry! Just not. The tables are very closes together and screaming kids, not babies who thought it was funny. There wasn't really a reason to dress up for. Tshirt and shorts and you fit right in. It needs a little more room. Your sitting right on top of each other and the food. But as for the food, best we had down there!! Because service and ambiance is gave it a 4 star.
