The snow crab, crawfish, mussels, and shrimp were incredibly fresh. Compared to Boiling Crab, their sauce is thicker and richer in flavor. The Medium heat was just right for us, but it might be a bit too spicy for others. We also ordered the Lobster fries, which really balanced the heat from the sauce--a perfect match! For drinks, we got strawberry and mango lemonade, and while both were great, my daughter loved the mango. The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. I'm definitely planning to come back.

Lol she brings it back to the manager and was like " it was from the packaging".. why is it in our food ? If you prepare food why would anyone want to have paper in there that has writing on their food. Terrible service and lazy. Saw them come by a few times and made other people try to pack their own food. Idk how they have four stars.

By the end, I wasn't sure if I'd eaten seafood or just done vocal warm-ups. The good news: the food holds its own. The seafood is super fresh, which is a blessing when you need something to focus on besides the bass drop. It's a cozy little spot--parking lot fits about 11 cars, so it's like musical chairs on asphalt. Street parking is an option, just keep an eye out for that street sweeping sign unless you want to donate to the city's "surprise fund." Bottom line: great for a lively, no-fuss meal. Just bring your appetite, your patience, and maybe a subtle hand signal system.

I tried this restaurant for the first time about two months ago, and it was so good that I came…read moreback the very next day. The owners were in the kitchen both times, and the food was excellent. A few weeks later, I returned when the younger staff was working. They accidentally forgot to charge me for my meal. Thankfully, I'm an honest person and reminded them. That visit, the food was much heavier on the lemon pepper seasoning than usual. Today, I ordered the fish and shrimp dinner, and as soon as I opened my container, I noticed the food looked much darker than on my previous visits. It seemed like the fish and shrimp may have been fried in the same batter or grease used for chicken instead of the usual cornmeal fish batter. The fish also had an aftertaste that reminded me of old chicken grease, which was disappointing. I know this restaurant is capable of serving great food because I've experienced it firsthand. My suggestion would be to provide additional training to the staff so the food is prepared consistently, regardless of who is in the kitchen. Consistency is what keeps customers coming back.

I saw this place on social media and stopped after work to support since it is black owned…read more My order was called ahead. As I walked in, food was ready, but the glass refrigerator was inoperable. There was no fresh seafood in sight. Oh lawd!! Had I known, I probably would've not ordered that day. In fact, the entire shop was kind of dark. There was no posted menu, price list, etc. None were printed either so I went off of previous yelp posts. I ordered the #2 combo with 3 pieces of file of soul, 10 medium shrimp, red beans/rice, greens & a small side order of hush puppies. Though, I was shorted 2 pieces of shrimp. Seafood was well coated, but crust kind of "peeled" off of the fish in big chunks. The ends of the fish were somewhat dried out and I don't think the fish was the freshest (since not noticeable on ice), not enough for the coating to fully stick. The sides were authentically cooked. Red beans had a slight kick. Greens portion was small and needed more seasoning. Hush puppies are well flavored although mine were slightly undercooked. Quick fix in the air fryer when I got home. I will give this place another try. My job is nearby and coworkers like to eat. Next time I hope the seafood is on ice and everything is fully operable. I may have to order upon arrival.

The sauce in the bag felt a bit... watered down like it went for a swim before meeting the seafood. For a party of four, we ordered: SHRIMP LOVER COMBO, LOBSTER ROLL, SIDE OF RICE, BASKET OF SEASONED FRIES, AND MAD DOG XXX SAUCE on the side. Portion-wise, we left comfortably full and only slightly questioning our life choices. The Shrimp Lover Combo can't be modified. We chose Stinkin' Special and Spicy, which came with a plastic glove so you can dig in like a civilized gremlin. The Stinkin' Special was a generous blasts of Old Bay and enough garlic to ward off vampires. The Mad Dog sauce wasn't shock-your-soul spicy, but it definitely lingered. I was still feeling its friendly burn hours later and well into the evening. The LOBSTER ROLLL was tasty but fleeting. It's one of those dishes that makes you realize the meal is almost over right when you're hitting peak satisfaction. A little emotional damage there. We wrapped it all up with deep-fried Oreos and ice cream, which was an instant win. Sweet, cooling relief after all that heat. Tip: Sign up to their text newsletter at the restaurant and enjoy a free basket of fries. BTW, their website is down. :(

Today, I was craving it again and my husband brought some home and again it did not disappoint. Great food and service. Must try.
