10/10--no exaggeration. Mr. Seafood is so good!…read more I ordered the fish and shrimp basket, and everything was fresh, crispy, and piping hot--fried to absolute perfection. The seafood combo was just as delicious, with great seasoning and fresh ingredients. While they do have seating available, the space feels more like a takeout spot than a dine-in restaurant, which worked perfectly for grabbing a meal on the go. The service was top-notch. The woman who took my order was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend if you're craving great seafood!

I had a great experience here. We came in on a Wednesday afternoon around 3pm. There were a few…read moretables in use but for the most part it was fairly empty. The decor is your typical seafood boil decor. I loved the fish hanging from the ceilings. Our server was Jody and she alone deserves 5 stars. She was so amazing and took great care of us. If we come back I will request her each time. The Food: we had a big group so everyone ordered a variety of things. I opted for a few things off the appetizer menu. I ordered the Fried Scallops which came with 6 scallops, the Hushpuppies which came with 10 hushpuppies and a cinnamon butter dip, and lastly I ordered the the Fried Shrimp which came with 10 shrimps and cocktail sauce. Everything was pretty good. The scallops were my least favorite, I was not a fan of the chewiness, but dipped in some tartar sauce they were not that bad. I also did not like the small portion of scallops for the price. The hushpuppies were amazing! They had a delicious taste and also had chunks of corn in it which I loved. The corn wasn't too chunky and blended perfectly with the breading. The cinnamon butter dip that came with it added a nice sweet touch but I honestly preferred them by itself. The shrimp were nice and chunky and battered to perfection. I would say the shrimp did lack flavor on the breading, but I ordered a side of Cajun sauce and mixed it with the tartar sauce and that really elevated the shrimp. Everyone else really enjoyed their food. Some people ordered seafood bags and were very pleased with their portions and taste. We even had a birthday cake that Jody was so gracious to store for us until it was time to eat it. Very glad I got a chance to try out Yummi Crab, we will definitely be back when we are craving seafood or Jody's great customer service.

Everyone around me is frustrated because the have to wait on their food but the young lady told them it was going to be a long wait at the very beginning. It may help if they identified the LONG WAIT in minutes. I ordered fish for a family who was caring for a loved one and didn't have time or energy to cook. They loved the family meal. I decided to try it for myself. I was not disappointed. I love supporting small businesses and recognize the challenges therefore I recommend patience. If you don't have it, you'll probably feel better going somewhere else but the food is great. Its a really small space. It took probably over a year to complete this review, it was lost in draft mode. I hope they are still open.

I left a 3 review then and the owners contacted me. It's been 4 months and I just made it back. Glad I did! They had the oxtails and I'll be back for them again. My daughter got the grilled cheese with oxtails and she loved it. It's full of oxtail. We got fried okra Mac n cheese and collards as our side dishes. Nicole was super kind when we came in, we waited in the car for our food and it was ready early so she brought it out to us. I know that's not a usual service but she had the time, thanks Nicole. Reminder: there is not a dining room. It's grab and go. I definitely will return!

It's a pick up location that is clean and well maintained. Now, the main attraction, the food. Those smoked oxtails made me want to turn around and order a full pan of them! They were tender, flavorful, and saucy. The seafood Mac and cheese had the right amount of cheese and you could enjoy the seafood! The lamb chops, cooked medium, were cooked to perfection. Flavor was through and through. The yams needed a little sauce for me, but they were still flavorful. I am coming back to Columbia JUST to revisit this place forsure! Make sure yall go get a plate ASAP.

While on an extended visit in SC, we decided to do an impromptu girls dinner. We ended up @ Bluefin…read moreby the suggestions of 2/3. I was the third party member going in blind because while my dinning companions suggested Bluefin, if I'm honest they were not doing a good job selling it, with their mixed reviews. We arrived @ 7pm on a Saturday. Upon arrival we were asked if we had reservations, which we did not. We were seated immediately because oddly enough the place was not busy. As we perused the menu, we noticed the amount of time that had elapsed without being approached or attended to. As we continued to wait, I immediately thought this is a bad sign. Finally we got a waitress and placed our orders. For starters we ordered: -BLUEFIN CRAB DIP: Lemon Breadcrumbs and Toasted Baguette -CRAB CAKES: Sweet Corn, Black Eyed Peas, Tomatoes, Leeks, Whole Grain Mustard Butter -PRINCE EDWARD MUSSELS: Garlic, White Wine, Herbs, Leeks, Tomatoes, Lemon Butter All were good. Even though I ordered it, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the combination of the sweet corn and black eyed peas of the Crab Cake dish. The Mussels were good and the Crab Dip was ok. For an entrée I went with the PAN SEARED BLACK BASS (BARRAMUNDI) with Fried Brussel Sprouts, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Ginger Soy Vinaigrette. This dish was great! Both my sister and I ordered this and we could not stop raving about it. She was little salty that I had some left for a doggy bag , albeit a small amount, and she finished all of hers. Lol Overall the experience started off shaky but the food was good. Just A Note: The service left much to be desired but the dish I had was memorable.

I see they add a gratuity automatically if you have more than 5 people sitting in one section. Thought that was a bit unusual but since it's a buffet maybe that's normal. The guys all had different things. The General Tso's chicken was deemed good, lots of items to choose from. I tried the chicken wings (just so-so), but nothing to write home about. I also tried some type of meat that looked good (almost like a beef stew) but it was ice cold. Terrible. Sample the fried fish filets and they were good. A bunch of us tried various sushi rolls and found them good, along with clams and mussels. There was something for everyone. The dessert had some vanilla pudding ( I think the guys thought it was a banana pudding), and to me it just looked like plain vanilla pudding with some wafers on the side. I passed on that. Quite a few had some of the mixed softserve ice cream and liked it. Three or four ordered from the "Make to order meals" where you select your meats, rice or noodles, and they prepare it for you. Overall it was a good experience. Average rating was a 4.1 for the group.
