    I will not be patronizing this establishment again. Ordered a pound of lightly breaded shrimp. The shrimps were so small I thought they were popcorn. Shame Shame Shame on Lawrence.

    I bought several items that were split between three people. I should have taken pics of everything. My share of scallops was left in the bag and I had not seen them until I poured them out. For starters, why would you serve mix match scallops?? This was very sketchy. I also had buffalo wing zings, lightly breaded shrimp, perch (I didn't care for it being in little strips) and hush puppies. Everything was slightly over-cooked, except three scallops (one is not pictured). I "might" give them another chance since we all deserve an opportunity to make things right and it wasn't a horribly bad encounter. I was excited to hear this location in Olympia Fields had opened so I wouldn't have to keep going to 22nd & Canal. I pray it's a better experience next time.

    The Wing Zings and Catfish was pretty good and filling to me; definitely a step up in the seafood department in the area.

    I was not excited about meeting here after reading the reviews but can't wait to return after…read moredining here. There was a group of 10 of us. Service was a little slow but understandable. We were greeted nicely and warned of workers calling off. They even provided mixed chips between our appetizers and entrees. We started with the grilled and fried shrimp. Both were amazing. Realizing there was no dipping sauce but not being able to stop eating them while awaiting sauce was commendable. Both were very tasty. The fried green tomatoes were cooked perfectly and seasoned impeccably... again no sauce needed. The catfish and the salmon bites again, seasoned and fried perfectly. The fried mushrooms were different but so good. The star of the night was the Shaniky pasta and I'm not a pasta fan. I had only one complaint. For the same price, you get either 4 pieces of beautifully fried catfish and fries or one piece of beautifully fried catfish sitting in a huge bowl of very tasty but dry dirty rice. I would eat the dirty rice again, but I would choose 4 pieces of beautiful fried catfish with fries any day over a big bowl of rice and one piece of fish. Will definitely return.... Regularly!!!

    Service and the atmosphere were great. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly, so…read morefirst impressions were definitely positive. The Thursday special was the highlight of the meal. The lamb chops were well-seasoned, and the lemon drops absolutely saved the day. The appetizers were decent too. The crab cakes were a nice size, but at $12 each, they felt overpriced. I think serving three smaller crab cakes for around $15 would make more sense and create a better presentation. I didn't personally try the oysters, but everyone in my group agreed they would've been much better without the cheese, which overpowered the flavor. Now...the main attraction--the item the restaurant is literally named after--the crab bagz. Unfortunately, they were more like trash bagz. The shrimp tasted like a frozen bag of shrimp from Aldi that was simply boiled with a little butter. The smoked sausage looked and tasted more like a boiled hot dog. Frying or grilling the sausage before adding it to the bag would make a huge difference in both flavor and texture. The corn tasted old, almost like it had been sitting in seasoned water for hours and was simply reheated when ordered. By the time I got to the potato, I had completely lost interest. The entire boil needs more seasoning cooked into the seafood and vegetables--not just added afterward. A heavier Cajun dry seasoning and deeper flavor infusion would go a long way. New Orleans is my second home, so yes, my standards for seafood boils are high. But this just missed the mark. If I came back, it would be for the drinks, lamb chops, and appetizers. Those are the real stars here. Unfortunately, the crab bagz--the signature dish--just aren't it.

Management needs to address this before it drives more customers away. I'm also tired of repeatedly asking for all mild sauces, only to receive a mix of hot and mild, followed by an argument with the cashier when I point it out. Then, after that experience, I'm asked to leave a tip. I order from Captain Hooks regularly and spend a good amount of money there, but this experience has become too frustrating. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. If you order from here, be sure to check your order before you leave. The requested sauces are often not included correctly. Captain Hooks, do better.

The Cons: I ordered catfish and they gave me swai, I'm extremely tired of restaurants doing this. Lying to customers and cutting corners, ppl like myself who love catfish know the difference, PLEASE stop this. I shouldn't have to order catfish steaks to get real catfish. The piece that I did eat wasn't seasoned outside of the lemon pepper sprinkle. The onion rings were absolutely tasteless, just unidentifiable mush inside. I hate wasting food but this went to the trash, very disappointing.

I also understand that servers sometimes make assumptions about guests. However, every customer deserves the same level of attention and service, regardless of what a server thinks the tip may be. According to the receipt provided by the manager, I believe our server's name was Jaden. Unfortunately, she never introduced herself and only checked on our table once throughout the meal. Most of the service we received actually came from the manager on duty. I found myself repeatedly getting up to ask for things until I finally asked Jaden, if she was our server. I hoped that would prompt a little more attention to our table, but it didn't. Instead, she remained focused on another table that had arrived before us and was still there after we left. I watched her check on them four or five times while our table was largely ignored. Whether intentionally or not, it certainly felt as though she had decided our table wasn't worth her time. If that was her assumption, then in this particular case she was correct about one thing: my husband and I will not tip for bad service. I have no problem rewarding excellent service, but I also believe tips should reflect the quality of the experience provided. Rather than leaving money for poor service, I chose to give the cash I had to the busboys, who were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. The reason I'm sharing this review is because I don't want one bad experience to overshadow what has otherwise been a good restaurant. I've dined here several times before, live nearby, and have always enjoyed my visits. That's why this experience stood out so much. I'm willing to give the restaurant another chance because I know the level of service they're capable of providing. My hope is that when I return, every guest will receive the same level of attention and hospitality, regardless of assumptions about who they are or what they may tip. Great service should be consistent, and that's what keeps customers coming back. One final thought: tipping culture only works when both sides do their part. GUESTS should recognize and reward good service, and SERVERS should provide quality service to every table. When assumptions are made on either side, EVERYONE loses.
