Honestly, wasn't sure what to expect out of a seafood boil spot. It was, actually, largely as…read moreexpected. Open, loud, with corrugated walls. They were out of crawfish, to my dismay, but got the shrimp boil. It was really tasty. Nicely spiced and seasoned, with a few sausages and pieces of corn. Nice servers too. In retrospect, kind of exactly what one should expect from a spot named, "Dewey Dew Bugz". If in the area, I'll definitely come back.

The food here is consistently better, and the oysters, especially, just taste fresher here than the other one. However, for whatever reason, the last two times we've been here, we've just had some miserable waitresses. The time before this one, our waitress had been crying and was walking around teary-eyed, but still managed to give us impeccable service. This time, though, was by far the worst service I've ever received in my life. The waitress we had today was just almost rude. There was no smile at all, no awareness, and no patience - just nothing. At times, she would start walking away before we finished talking and would not give us eye contact. I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes here, but would highly recommend that she go through another round of training, or maybe find another job that she actually enjoys. If we were tipping just based on service, I would say we received the bare minimum. Being the person my boyfriend is, he refused to give less than a 20% tip, because he knows that restaurant and bar staff are not paid especially well, but I really do feel like some effort has to be made. I haven't felt the need to write a review on Yelp again until now, but the service today was just excruciatingly painful. When I had commented to my boyfriend that maybe she was having a bad day, he even said that there was no reason for her to be taking it out on us. If we did not love the food and this was our first time, we would never come back.

Too many issues in one meal to believe it was maybe just an "off day". I understand that Mother's…read moreDay (and the sun shinning) brings in a bigger crowd, but given that the restaurant was advertising a Mother's Day brunch AND they didn't even change the menu from their standard brunch menu, that they would be more prepared. We were seated right away (we did call a head of time to give them a heads up about our group size [10], even with the understanding of no reservations and first come first serve). Drinks were ordered and then brought out randomly and just left in the middle of the table, never with the person who ordered. NEVER offered a refill on anything. Not on water, sodas or even alcohol. Food order was placed pretty quickly. Waitress even mentioned that the Beef Debris PoBoy is good in flavor but that it's the most returned and or disappointed menu item when ordered in larger groups (I believe because it's wet). I took her recommendations and ordered 3 side items asking for them all to be together as a meal. Food is delivered and quite a few things were wrong or missing. Burger - missing standard toppings & over cooked to a hockey puck. Several missing items - meals and sides. The food runners were very confused and couldn't even speak when we tried to address the messed up food. Still no drink refills offered and the waitress was gone for so long we couldn't address the missing meals for a while. The food runners never said anything about the issues. Again, I get it, it's Mother's Day, but a suggestion was made (not requested) and then the alternative was incredibly messed up. Little apologies for any of the missing item issues and then the bills were all messy. None of these issues pointed to the kitchen so it's the rare time I don't appreciate an auto gratuity.

I got the boiled…read morecrawfish, and it was so good, perfectly spicy and packed with flavor for a reasonable price (6.49/lb). The man behind the counter was incredibly kind and even let me try one before I ordered, which made the experience feel really welcoming. They also had some of the trending ice cream, so I picked that up too, and it was a fun treat after the seafood. Overall, just a really solid spot with good food and good people. I'll definitely be back.

Regarding the service, I'd like to say a special thanks to the manager, Anna Crawford, for accommodating a personal, emergency business matter.

First off, they bring the food out in a giant plastic bag like it's evidence from a crime scene. And honestly, it is a crime--how much butter and Cajun seasoning they put in there. The shrimp were so spicy they gave me flashbacks to every bad decision I've ever made, and the sausage? That sausage whispered sweet nothings to me before punching me in the face with flavor. I'm not saying I fell in love, but I definitely Googled "how to legally marry andouille." The corn was hotter than Satan's armpit, and the potatoes were softer than my willpower. I burned my fingertips, tongue, and possibly my soul, but I regret nothing. The staff is friendly in that Southern way where they call you "honey" and tell you you're "lookin' peaky" while piling 7 pounds of shellfish in front of you. If your bib doesn't say "I'm here for a good time, not a long time," you're doing it wrong. Pro tip: don't wear white. Or tight pants. Or any emotional baggage you're not ready to let go of--because the boil will break you down and build you back better. 10/10, would cry happy tears into my crab legs again.

My son had his steak that was cooked perfectly, the salmon salad my wife ordered with their own citrus dressing was tasty, my daughter in law had the stuffed fish with crab she truly enjoyed, and I had the seafood bake,which I had a taste for, was not disappointing. Full of delicate morsels in a nice lite but creamy sauce. Definitely would go again.
