    Family Big Boil
    Brenda S.

    This was an amazing, delectable experience for my birthday dinner provided by my family. The restaurant decor is beautiful. Our waitress was wonderful!!! She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. She went above and beyond our expectations. Now, for the delectable, succulent perfectly cooked seafood OMG!!!!!! We got King crab, snow crab, shrimp, mussels, potatoes, corn with a spicy garlic butter sauce. THEN after setting our feast in front of us, she lit it on fire!!!! What a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE and BIRTHDAY DINNER. If you love seafood, this is the place to go in our area of Central Pennsylvania. Don't miss out on this amazing restaurant.

    Service was great they were training a new waitress and they did a very good job. The ambiance is really cool. It's got fish hanging from the ceiling and nice relaxing little atmosphere. Lots of tables. I got the lunch special which was a half a pound of crab and a half a pound of shrimp come out spiced perfectly. It was extremely good. Made my tummy very happy.

    First time coming here and the Food was great along with the prices. Service, not so much. I got cat fish and it was absolutely incredible. Hush puppies and lobster bisque were delicious and cheap ($5). Waiter was very polite, All our food came out in about 20 ish minutes except for my step-Father's. He waited almost another hour for his food to come out as we ate. They also messed his order up instead of mild it was hot. Now I won't hold this against a business by any means as they took his order off the bill and were extremely nice about it. Overall a great seafood place. Highly recommend!

    Took my best friend here Sunday and the first thing is we were greeted by one of the best waitresses I've had in a long time, Anellie. Big smile, very personable, glad we were there. The restaurant was super clean. I had the Special "B" with scallops, shrimp, and lobster tail, mild cajun. Along with sweet potato fries and cole slaw, the food was absolutely incredible. Anellie kept an eye on things and came back at just the right times to fill drinks and check on everything. We will definitely be going to this location more often. Thank you ! From Scott Griffin

    We got the Tuesday Special with half a pound each of crawfish, headless shrimp, and snow crab, 2 potatoes, and corn. We got it flamin' style and it was so flavorful, I was dipping my fried calamari and house garlic bread in all the flamin' sauce too. The food was a lot, enough to fill two people comfortably. We also got a bowl of clam chowder, which was just solid. The snow crab was my favorite part, sweet and juicy. The crawfish, I wouldn't get again unless it was fresh/in season. It had that bland frozen taste. But I would definitely come back for that very garlicky complimentary garlic bread, and crab in flamin' style. Delish! Service was also excellent, speedy and friendly.

    Great food, good service, and reasonably priced for seafood. the daily specials are the best bet, they can easily feed 3 people.

    My sister & I were delighted to stumble across this gem! We stopped in for lunch after realizing…read morethat the restaurant supports a local non-profit. (It's also super-affordable -- less than $15 for both of our meals, including drinks.) The atmosphere is casual, comfortable, & a little jazzy; a piano (complete with tip jar), cozy couches, & a shelf of books say "Come hang out here." About 10 minutes after placing our order, the waitress came back & apologized for the "long wait." Within a few minutes, the chef (a wizened old Black man who lends credibility to the authenticity of the Soul Food) came out & apologized himself. A few minutes later, the waitress reappeared & offered us free chocolate cake "for the wait." Bewildered but delighted, my sister & I accepted. Arriving shortly afterward, the food would have been worth a longer "wait." I got the fish po' boy: fresh swai fish, breaded in-house with something delightfully spicy with fresh lettuce & a flavorful House Po' Boy sauce. The chips, also made in-house, are positively light (sliced quite thin) but also seasoned with spice. My sister said the fried chicken was "standard," but was impressed with the candied yams. Overall, it seems like a go-to place to hang out over coffee, chai, sandwiches, or soul food.

    I went to go yesterday to see if they could help me with placing an order for my wedding and it…read morelooks like the place was closed. This was after 3:00pm on a Friday. Not sure if they are open. Sad. I really wanted to patronage the place.
