Everything came out hot, well seasoned, and tasted like it was made by people who actually care. The place itself feels like a time capsule from childhood. It reminded me of those slower family meals where nobody was in a rush and sweet tea was basically mandatory. There's something comforting about that kind of atmosphere. What really stood out though was the service. Super down home and genuinely friendly. It honestly felt like I was eating at my aunt's house and my cousin was making sure I didn't leave hungry. Now if you're looking for fresh caught seafood straight off the boat, Jefferson County, TN might not be your spot. But if you want good food, big portions, and a place that makes you feel right at home, this one is worth the stop. Would definitely come back.

We had the fish and chips, lobster bao buns, grilled Caesar salad with salmon, and a lobster roll with Nashville hot seasoning. The bao buns were small but packed with flavor. I wish the buns were a little softer, but they held together well with the delicious lobster mix. The grilled Caesar salad was fantastic. Fresh dressing, perfectly cooked salmon, and just really well balanced. Honestly, every dish landed. The real star of the night was the Biscoff cheesecake. Big, fluffy, thick, and just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. Absolutely worth saving room for. Service was impeccable, and the music playing from the owner's personal playlist was nostalgic for me as someone from New York. It gave the whole place a really fun, comfortable vibe.

Unfortunately we got our days mixed up and our reservation was the following day. However the hostess told us it was not an issue and still seated us right away moving our booking to the correct day. The food came out in a timely manner and our server was very helpful as well. I ordered the seafood lasagna and it was very flavorful. Personally if I were to come back, I'd order another dish that was more filling. The server raved about how good it was and she was correct. It did have a lot of flavor to it. However it lacked seafood in the shells. At some points, I felt as though I was only eating shells and sauce with tomatoes unfortunately. Upon finishing our meal, unfortunately my father became ill after sipping water and going down the wrong pipe. We were so embarrassed seeing as though we were sitting in the middle of everyone dining. However the staff were so kind resulting us that it wasn't the first and dropping everything they were doing to tend to us with wet napkins and checking on my father. While we were deeply embarrassed, it really meant a lot to us that you all made us your priority in that moment and I greatly appreciate you alls service!

As for the food, it was honestly pretty underwhelming considering how hyped this place is. The crab dip was okay, nothing memorable. The steak and lobster was disappointing- the lobster had that soft texture that overcooked or not-so-fresh crawfish can have. The baked shrimp wasn't bad, but definitely not something I'd order again. Strawberry shortcake was decent enough. Ironically, the bread basket ended up being my favorite part of the meal-absolutely delicious. The service, however, was genuinely warm and hospitable. It was a bit slow, but the staff was kind, friendly, and personable enough that it made up for it. That was honestly the highlight of the experience. Was I excited to try this place because of all the hype? Absolutely. Would I personally recommend it? Probably not.

We were seated in the very back of the restaurant, so it was very hard to see on the other side of the wall! The first bad thing we had happened my son asked for coffee and they gave him cream that expired several months prior that curdled as he poured into his coffee. We even showed the waitress the expiration date. We had to wait a long time for even our appetizer and salads to even come out . We waited a long time for food to come out even our salads didn't come out but right before our meal. We had one meal that was undercooked which was the hamburger steak where it was very raw in the middle after asking it for medium well. We had one person's food that didn't even come out with the rest of the meals while everyone else was eating she had to wait. In total we were there almost a total of 2 1/2 hours in total for dinner Which was ridiculous !!! I have ate at a lot of restaurants, but this is one I will not go back to, and I have ate their previously during the day also ordering takeout but not again The interior in the restaurant is outstanding, and the design is beautiful but The outside does look a little rough.

He got snotty and tried to switch us out, saying we didn't have that seating, and another group did. We finally won out, but they were out of things as simple as lemons, and a breaded shrimp plate came with 4 measly shrimp that were obviously something like Gordon's frozen breaded shrimp. After we all began leaving, one of our group's ladies, because of a poor entry exit, tripped and fell due to improper protocol. The owner couldn't care less, and she broke a front tooth, busted her lower lip, and banged up her knee and elbow. All the cashier did was give her some ice. The portions are pitiful. I have never seen a ruder owner ever.

My husband is usually great at picking restaurants, so I'm not sure why I didn't check the Yelp…read morereviews before we chose this one--big mistake. The buffet was around $60 for all-you-can-eat crab legs, which sounded promising. Unfortunately, like many others have mentioned, the crab legs were cold when we first got them. They were overcooked and lacked flavor. We did manage to get a fresher batch later, which was better, but still not great. The promotional video online clearly had some Hollywood magic--what we experienced was far from what was advertised. Overall, the buffet was a letdown. Much of the food wasn't fresh, most dishes were bland, and a few were downright inedible. The crab cakes looked like sausage patties and were just as tough. The fried oysters were slimy and mushy--not the kind of texture you expect, even for oysters. I love fried oysters, but these were a hard pass. The crab-stuffed flounder was bland, though the stuffing tasted more like what a crab cake should taste like. The frog legs were surprisingly decent and did taste like chicken. Mussels and clams were a disappointment. Green beans tasted like they came straight from a can, and the mac and cheese reminded me of frozen Stouffer's. The peel-and-eat shrimp were good, but the raw oysters were a disaster--visually unappealing and smelled off. And yes, September is an "R" month, so they should've been fine. We asked for fresher ones, and what we got still didn't pass the sniff test. I love raw oysters, but I wasn't about to risk it. Vegetable options were limited: mushrooms (which were good), canned green beans, corn on the cob, and fried okra. Service from our waitress, was hit-or-miss and didn't leave a lasting impression. The atmosphere was awkward--no music, just the hum of kitchen staff talking. It felt more like a quiet cafeteria than a lively restaurant. While that made it easy to chat with our party, it also made the overall vibe feel stale. On the plus side, the restaurant was clean. But for the price, it wasn't worth it--and we won't be returning.
