We weren't greeted when we walked in and were left standing at the front wondering if we had to seat ourselves until someone finally came out and just brought us to one of the empty tables. There was another empty table that hadn't been bussed with the plastic bag containing seafood boil and half eaten corn by us, and it was clear that this place was short staffed. Now, to be clear, the biggest faults of this place don't stem from them being short staffed (like the unbussed tables or the wait to sit down). It comes from the mediocrity of the food and the filthy bathroom. We ordered some beef skewers (5 pieces) which were just fine. We also ordered the seafood boil with medium spice garlic sauce, peeled shrimp, snow crab cluster, and added sausages. When I asked the server how spicy their "spicy" is, I was told "it depends on what your spice tolerance is," which was entirely unhelpful. When the boil came out, we didn't receive a lobster cracker despite ordering crab legs, and just had to crack them ourselves. The sauce left no impression besides being mostly garlic and whatever nondescript sauce that provided a slight modicum of heat. The best thing was the sausage, which probably came out of a package. The worst part of the visit was when I had to go to the bathroom, which I walked into a dingy, dark bathroom where one stall was "out of order" and the other was so filthy that your average frat bathroom in the middle of a rager party probably would have been cleaner. I just made a beeline straight out of the bathroom. I try to give small businesses the benefit of the doubt, as I realize that many improvements require $$$ which means that you need more customers and you need renovations to get more customers etc.. etc.. but for now I think I would tell my friends and anyone reading this to steer clear.

This place is located in a busy strip mall, so parking can be a bit tricky but not horrible. The service here is always good! You can either order ahead of time or I always order in the restaurant and it takes about 10-15 minutes for them to get it all put together. On this stop, I saw a woman being fairly demanding to the staff and they handled it with grace! Awesome customer service! We got snow crab clusters, lobster tails, whole shrimp, mussels , corn and potatoes in spice level 2 House mix seasoning! For my Minnesota friends, 2 is fairly spicy! Not burn your mouth but have some water ready and your nose will run! Just as a heads up! There is SOOOOO much garlic!! We absolutely love it!! We dip crackers or bread in the sauce too! I've never eaten inside here, but there are a few tables. This place is always clean looking. They have had me for 10 plus years and they will continue to have my business for decades more!

I understood it was such a busy time, but the one thing that really disappointed me is that someone came in after me and ordered the food at the counter, and left before me with their food, which really left a bad taste in my mouth. Although, the waiting experience was not great, I did love the food so much, and I do want to come back here and try more!

Boy, were we surprised! The seafood was so fresh when we ordered. We got the shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab legs. Maybe they just got their shipment on Monday, but it really hit the spot. They did mess up my order ( I ordered House Mix with Medium spice but got Garlic Butter with Mild spice), but it didn't change the fact I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Also, their corn was great. I'm usually a fan of seafood boils that have a thicker sauce consistency (like King Cajun), so if you're the same, you might want to skip. Their sauce is a bit on the more liquid side. I would say if you're gonna eat here, place your order online and pick up your food and head out. It will hit the spot, but you don't want your car parked around outside cause it's honestly a bit scary.

My husband and I have been here multiple times and each time we typically order the Commander's platter with Boom Boom sauce (mix of all the other flavors) with Fire spiciness. As scary as it sounds, the Fire is just the right amount of heat in our opinion if you like food on the spicy side. We'll throw in some broccoli, smoked sausage, and order a side of rice to round the meal out. Everything is always seasoned perfectly and there's enough to enjoy leftovers the next day too. With the maritime decor, delicious food, and friendly service, we'll be coming here for a while!

We also shared combo 1 and added 1lb of snow crab (two clusters). The House Cajun sauce was good, but heavy on garlic/"jarlic" and could have been saucier. Next time I'd ask for/order a side of extra sauce for dipping. The dish could have used more than 2 (halves) or corn on the cob. Everything in the boil tasted good! Some other highlights: 1) there's a shared parking lot to the side of the building as well as metered parking in the front. It was busy when I went, so I parked around the corner- for free. 2) I wasn't a fan of the ordering process. Before I get into why, I'd recommend browsing the menu ahead of time to determine what you want. That said, we had a reservation (on Valentine's Day) and the place was understandably busy. There wasn't a hostess station so we headed to the register to check-in. That's where we learned that before being seated, we'd have to first order (and pay). With how extensive the menu was, and crowded the immediate area was- the process felt a bit chaotic and overwhelming. 3) The space is cute. A good amount of tables, and simple but cute decor. After being seated, staff stopped by at different points with bibs, gloves, and disposable plates/utensils. 4) Food took a long time to come out, but I won't ding them because again... it was busy. However, having to remind and re-remind staff of missing items (rice, garlic bread) did leave an unfavorable impression. My hope is things are more buttoned-up on an average day. That said, while I'm giving grace for the cons I still rate it as okay. I'd be down for giving it another shot during a non-peak period to see if the experience is better or the same.

He's always extremely welcoming, helpful, and makes a stiff drink. Fri-Sun they shop runs a "backdoor burger bar" after the normal po' boy shop house and you know I had to get the fried cauliflower. The dish is, more or less, the same as the one from Little Tijuana so I had to get it. This version seemed to have been made a bit more "edina" by removing a lot of the spicy ginger flavor from the original that I love so much. It was still really good, though. Perfectly tempura'd florets with kewpie and a sweet soy-based sauce like hoisin. I'd get it again (I always do) but recommend getting the full Little T's experience if you get the chance
