    a platter of oysters
    Arwyn W.

    The food was amazing but the server was very very very slow and inattentive. The place I'd definitely a vibe and the music is always good. The seafood is a must try.

    Low Country Boil Special
    Brandon T.

    BOMB!!!!!! The Juicy mix flavor was so good! I ordered the "HOT" Low Country Boil special and it didn't disappoint. I think this order could easily feed 2 people perfectly so it was def filling. Low Country Boil comes with: shrimp Cluster of snow crab legs Sausage Corn Potato I added crawfish to mine Total $36 not bad! I recommend giving this place a try!

    I was referred to this restaurant by my friends uncle. Her and I decided to go to the restaurant I think on a Monday night. The place was nice and clean. It wasn't very busy but it wasn't too slow either. We seated immediately after walking in the door. Waitress came over very quickly as well. Very nice lady. I'm not sure if she was normally doing another job because she said she hasn't served in a while so she wasn't quite sure on some of the specials she just wanted to double check. That wasn't a problem at all because at least she was honest and was very concerned about making sure we got the right information on the specials and prices that they had going on for the night. My friend and I both decided to get the Blue Crab special I think it was $33. It came with the four blue crabs the shrimp no heads corn and potatoes I picked it all in one seasoning with hot and then a side of the extra hot. Food came fairly quickly. The food was very good! Flavoring was very well. I do know a lot of times at these type of places this season and flavors very water down but I felt like this one had a lot of good seasoning that could be because I've got special seasoning that's why I always get the other one seasoning at seafood places. Even after having the food the next day is leftovers once I took the bag. Very flavorful I just added a little bit extra butter in the bag and it melted very well still lots of flavor. By the way I forgot to mention my friend ordered one of their nightly drink specials which was six or seven dollars I think per drink. She said that it was very good as well. I will definitely be returning to try more things on the menu.

    Service was good but at times, waitress was a bit too extra and deceiving. Claiming she "hooked me up" but I paid extra for those bigger clusters. Love the laid back vibe. R&B and rap played through the speakers. Ordered jalapeño poppers for appetizer. Pretty good. Taste like Sonic's. Got the 1/2 lb dungeness and 1/2 lb snow crab flavored medium with the juicy special seasoning and added boiled egg. Really enjoyed the crab and the seasoning and the corn. Would have loved some clarified butter on the side.

    Grab the dungeness crab special and just forget the menu. This is their specialty, this is very messy, so not great for a first date, but married couples can't get enough The juicy sauce is just the perfect spiciness at "hot"

    Needed a seafood fix upon returning from Detroit for the Holidays. We settled on this place that's been open for a few years. The inside was decorated really awesome, lots of wood and ocean themes. The food was great I had seafood boil with carb legs, sausage, red potatoes and corn on the cob. The service was nice and the place clean. Being 5 minutes from the house I'll be here more often.

Though the parking lot was busy, I was sat immediately and noticed they were not too busy on a Friday night 7:30pm - likely an indicator of the experience to come. Kaitlyn was very friendly in greeting and throughout the meal. She was obviously the only bright spot on this experience, since you see the star rating. The soda lacked carbonation in the coke, so I mentioned it tasting off to me. I switched to an Orange Fanta, and that too lacked carbonation. Ended up just eating my spicy crab combo with no drink. Which thankfully, spicy is no where near spicy at this location. Medium at best if you order spicy. Genuinely let down, especially since it is ONE cluster for $38.99. Definitely felt this was a skip, and then was shocked when the bill came... As a party of one, I was charged automatic gratuity of 12%, which is bewildering to me. Larger parties? Totally get it! But a party of one, which I was shocked but they do list on the menu of prices. I almost tipped 20% on top of the bill, until I was looking into why it was higher than I expected. Additionally, $4.99 for a soda that doesn't even have the syrup and carbonation properly calibrated?! Wowza, what a letdown for $50+ for dining alone. If you are in Jacksonville, you are surrounded by lots of good seafood places. Big crab? Personally, a pass for me.

We just got shrimp this time…read morearound for something casual, but it still felt very varied, with the corn, sausage, and potatoes. The shrimp was really easy to peel, and pretty juicy. The potatoes were perfectly soft and able to sop up the seasoning. The sausages were a good combo of chewy and soft. And the corn was super juicy and sweet. We got the mild option, but honestly, we didn't really notice any spice, so I would definitely go for a higher spice level next time. The seasoning was pretty good, but not the best I've had. It was a bit too oily for my preference, which sounds a bit dumb because of course it's oily. But it was so hard to get the seasoning on the food. At times it felt like I was only scooping oil up without any of the flavoring. Whereas at other places, it felt like the oil itself was super flavorful too.

    When my coworker (Jann H. On Yelp) and I visited from Arizona for support to training our…read moreJacksonville office, I wanted to get a seafood boil. Being from a landlocked (Arizona) state, I wanted to get some fresh snow crab as you can truly taste the different even if you can get flash-frozen. We pulled up, and it seemed pretty underwhelming where it was located. When walking in, I initially didn't notice the insanely cool boat fountain that we marveled at on our way out. Loved the decor as simple, but the fountain elevated it more than other seafood boil places I've visited. Elijah was very friendly and appreciate the recommendation to go very spicy (extra hot). I often feel like some places vary. I want the spice, but I don't want it to completely overpower the food like some spice levels will. This achieved an exceptional flavor and still cleared my sinuses from the spice - perfection! The crab was amazing and the shrimp was pretty good as well; though next time, I'll do all crab as it was insanely fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back if in Jacksonville again for work, and recommended to the local coworkers in the office!

The upside is that the food is absolutely amazing, the downside, because the food is so good, you may have a bit of a wait if the line is long. Best bet is to check his Facebook page for his location and try to make it before everyone else does. Today, I ordered my favorite, a shrimp po boy and also a large pepper jack boudin ball. The po boy is classic, French bread, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and overly loaded with very fresh shrimp. I always eat a bunch of shrimp off the sandwich before I take a bite because it's that loaded! The boudin ball was a first for me. It was a crunchy outside, and a hot smooth inside packed with flavor and goodness. I will definitely be getting this again.

I called the restaurant to request a refund because I barely ate any of the food, but I was told they were not at fault because they had been in business for 14 years. I understand that it can be difficult to determine what caused a stomach issue, but I was disappointed with how my concern was handled. I'm now throwing away most of the meal, losing the money I spent, and leaving unsatisfied with both the food and customer service. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this experience.
