We got there late and we're lucky they had a dozen crabs left they five you the option of spicy or not spicy seasoning ( I chose to buy them cooked but you can opt for uncooked) the guy behind the counter was not super friendly but not rude. He answered my questions patiently (which was nice since we came about an hour before last order can be taken). They text you when your order is ready and have it packed up nicely. And we got a bonus crab and lots of legs for being the last order of the night. The seasoning was good and spicy. Crabs and shrimp both delicious. And the shrimp had a sweetness to it. Everything seemed fresh. It was just me and my sister but I ate 5 to 6 crabs...so happy ....I've been craving crabs for a while now.

I ordered a dozen large spicy male crabs. The claws and legs were full of meat and flavorful. If you're looking for steamed crabs without the disappointment, check out Jae Seafood . I purchased early in the day around 1130-noon, the quality and service was great. Facts: I walked in placed my order, asked the price ($47), and was told 25 mins. I received a text when done and it was worth the wait. This business has a new customer. Yes, I measured the crab and each one was about the same size.

We got a dozen Xlarge male crabs for $89. Great taste, super-fast service and asked several times if everything was ok. While we were eating, noticed the stream of people coming in to get orders and walking out happy with trays of hot food, rolls of paper in hand (table cover). We also got hush puppy and fries, both sides, hot and tasty. Saw the mussels and clams and shrimp in the display case for other options they offer as well as four sizes of crabs to choose from. You can buy just one or a whole dozen. Just soft drinks were available, but you can BYOB. I highly recommend this small hidden gem for a crab fix. Didn't realize they have been in my neighborhood for the past year, don't overlook this crab house as I have. We plan to be back soon and often. Kudos to a well-served crab fest and filling a crab craving in my own backyard, Bravo!

So I wanted some fried seafood , and I thought I'd give this place a try after reading some pretty…read moregood reviews online? So I basically ordered the popcorn shrimp, the fried, full-size shrimp, the calamari rings, fried, the tilapia fried, and the catfish fried, and some chicken fingers fried and some fried oysters.... So you can tell everything's fried, including the Cajun fries and the onion rings. I also ordered coleslaw, and some boom boom sauce, tartar sauce, and house ranch! So I received everything about 30 to 45 minutes delivered by DoorDash, and I was very happy with a delivery from a very professional and mature driver. Everything was packaged very nicely in Styrofoam - one use disposable cartons. The fried batter is on all the seafood is very nice and it's crispy , not too thick , and it's not too salty and definitely not too spicy! Really good choice of batter for this fried seafood I ordered. First of all the coleslaw is fantastic, nice and sweet and everything in there is super fresh. This coleslaw might be better than coleslaw @ KFC. The Cajun fries are crinkle cut fries and they taste good , but they're nothing special. The onion rings are actually very good with a nice batter and they come in various sizes and the onions are sweet and fresh, and I would definitely recommend the onion rings. The boom boom sauce is maybe a combination of like French dressing and Sriracha , and spicy. The housemaid ranch is classic ranch flavor maybe a little bit of buttermilk involved, and very satisfying, but Not the best ranch I've ever had, but you won't be disappointed.... The fried tilapia is delicious and neutral, and a very nice batter on the outside and it's very satisfying. The catfish is a home run, because catfish is delicious to begin with and it has that nice batter on it that they provide here at this Cajun style, seafood house, and it is just a 10 out of 10 every time in taste! I got three nice size pieces of catfish, and it was very fresh, and it was definitely the highlight of my order, and I ordered a lot of stuff. If you like catfish, you'll love this catfish! And I bit into the fried shrimp, which was very nice and big about a 16-20 size shrimp, and was very nice and spongy and fresh. Then I had the popcorn shrimp, which was very small with a tail on, and tasted good, but it was kind of boring and it would probably make a better kids meal than a meal for adults or a appetizer? Don't waste your time with the popcorn shrimp unless you want it for a young person who enjoys that kind of thing, go for the big regular normal shrimp! Don't forget I got some homemade tartar sauce with this order, and it was fantastic and a little tart. Then I bit into the calamari rings, which were very neutral, and not fishy, tasted very fresh, and the batter they use was very appropriate for calamari, and this seafood dish will Not disappoint your need for Squid.... My only complaint is that I didn't get enough of a big portion, the portion was kind of a small, and I wish I had more of it, but it was the" lunch portion".... So you might wanna order two of these if you love fried squid. This is not a octopus, it's calamari- squid. And I ordered the mozzarella sticks and oh boy are they full of mozzarella with a great cheese,Pull, at least two 12" rulers from your face, but I will say the only complaint here is I asked for marinara sauce, and they gave me something that tasted like salsa made in the house , and it's definitely not marinara or pizza sauce! I also ordered a six piece fried chicken wing with my choice of sauce, and I got lemon pepper, which was very delicious, but not the very best lemon pepper seasoning I've ever had!! I've had better lemon pepper, chicken wing places, and you know the name of those places!? So if you want chicken wings, get them somewhere else, this place is all about seafood. Don't forget their coleslaw is 100% awesome! So finally, that brings me to the only disappointing seafood that I got, which was the fried oysters, and they were small, and you can tell they were out of season and not local, and they were not big and meaty and juicy, they were small and greedy and very fishy or gamey - however, you wanna say it". The fried oyster should not be served at this restaurant unless they're local and in season, because it makes it look like this restaurant doesn't understand proper and awesome Friday oysters? When fried Oyster or Clams are fresh and in the season, and I'm an expert because I grew up with them in Maryland, caught locally every week, they can be the number one seller on your menu and bring many people from all a round , and from far away, just to get these oysters and clams, if they're done right and fried in the right batter? But they have to be fresh and local. The oysters are an inferior product, and taste bad on this menu..... I ordered mine with a Pepsi, and a total of my order came to about $105.

However, there was an appealing smell as soon you hit the door that lingered the entire time. After receiving my food service disappeared. I could hear them in the back but no one checked on me or cleaned the table that had been abandoned for over 10 minutes. When they finally came to give me my check there was no offer to double bag my leftovers which is common so the shells won't pierce the bag. Not the best experience. I will not likely return.
