    1/2 lb shrimp
    Eli L.

    This review is solely based on the food, I did not go into the restaurant as this was an order placed online. The food arrived still very hot. I ordered the 1/2 shrimp boil with potatoes and corn and one order for the hush puppies. My family and I really enjoyed them and their tartar sauce was very tasty. My shrimp boil was perfectly seasoned, but next time I would get their medium spice level, as the mild was too mild for my preference. I feel the value is great for the amount of food you get. I would definitely order again and try a different flavor combination.

    Nothing remarkable ... our server was a nice guy but the seafood boils were VERY salty. Almost too salty to eat. We ordered two seafood boils with shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and lobster tail. We also had a deep fried oyster appetizer and that was actually good. The restrooms were horrible and looked like public gas station restrooms. I let our server know that they were in bad condition and someone could get hurt if they slipped on what appeared to be urine on the floors; and he politely said he'd get someone in there. There's only two bathrooms, both gender neutral, yet one had a urinal and the other didn't. Again, he was a nice guy. However, the bathrooms looked like no one regularly cleaned them. They were very dirty and smelled, it wasn't a good look for them... being that they advertised themselves as "NEW Grand Opening". We were only in the area for a volleyball tournament so we aren't local to Lodi. We found this place on Yelp and decided to try based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend nor return. Two stars for the oyster appetizer and the friendly service.

    Stopped for lunch today. The restaurant was not crowded. Got seated right away and got out order taken quickly. The place was clean and well kept. I had the shrimp basket lunch w:fries and my wife had the same with sweet potatoe waffle fries. We also order a side of hush puppies which were yummy. Overall a great experience!

    First time visiting since it opened. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a marine theme. We were greeted and were promptly sat in a booth. We had the hush puppies for appetizers; I recommend them. For the main course l, we ordered the crab and shrimp combo with corn and potatoes. Everything came steaming hot but delicious. They provide you with all the equipment for the job: bib, gloves, seafood cracker and napkins. They have a variety of seasonings (the house one has everything in it). There are also different levels of heat (spice) for everyone's taste. It was a fun dining experience and we definitely left with full stomachs. Thanks to our server Moses who was very attentive and kind. Check it out !

    Food was good. Service was great. I would definitely go back. I got a seafood bag with house flavor- medium. Wasn't too spicy, good flavor. I would try hot next time. Cajun fries were good. Calamari was good. Ordered chicken tenders basket but was too full to try it. The only thing I don't like, is they stop sitting people at 9pm. A few days ago I went to dine in for the first time and they said I couldn't after 9pm so I left.

    Mediocre at best. The food was very bland to Me. It lacked any really favor. I was a bit disappointed. It was also like warm. I also ordered calamari, it was fried so hard into the point it wasn't edible. The waiter was great. He was attentive and sweet. The restaurant was very clean the music was very family friendly.

    Great place. Books have good seasoning and come out hot and fast. Calamari and fries were delicious too! Medium heat perfect

    Crab legs, corn, potatoes, shrimp.

    Came here for dinner with my husband and daughter and overall had a really great experience. We ordered "Combo C" with one pound of crab legs and added two pounds of headless shrimp, which also came with corn and potatoes. We also got steamed white rice, hush puppies, and calamari on the side. The restaurant is located in a large strip mall with plenty of parking, and inside has a cute beachy/ocean vibe. The space was very clean and comfortable. The seafood boil came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The steamed rice was fluffy and paired really well with the seafood, and we enjoyed the hush puppies too. The one thing we didn't care for was the calamari. Unfortunately, it was extremely tough and chewy, which made it hard to eat, so we wouldn't order that again. The wait staff was friendly and on top of things throughout our meal, which we appreciated. Overall, I think this place has the best seafood boil in the area, especially for the price - you get a lot more food here compared to other local seafood boil spots. We'll definitely be back!

    Amazing food. It was my first time trying this place. My parents brought me and my gf here to try the new seafood spot in town and we loved it. Great customer service and so much parking. The environment was really chill and it is a good size restaurant for the 209 area. We got the Family Special deal, Garlic Noodles, Cajun wings and Hush Puppies. Great place to celebrate any special occasion. Highly recommend this spot!

    The service was good, 1st time here. The prices are not that bad either. Right amount of seasoning on the seafood we ordered. Some places are smothered in so much salt it makes your head hurt but they were yums. Def will be back

    Fried calamari- extra crispy and delicious!
    Meghan B.

    So happy to finally have a crab boil place in Lodi! Went for an early dinner on 4/1. They weren't busy and we were sat quickly. The server was friendly enough and the food and drinks came out quickly. We ordered fried calamari and the family meal. For the seafood boil we chose black mussels, Dungeness crab, clams, and head on shrimp with the house seasoning and hot spice level. The seasoning and spice was perfect and so delicious. The decor in the restaurant is cute and I really love the little jellyfish lamps hanging in the dining room. The food was great but I do wish they had a full liquor license so we could have cocktails with dinner.

    Went here on a Friday night after seeing reviews on Facebook. It did not disappoint. Just a note to let you know all the crab is previously frozen but this is common on most restaurants serving crab. We love fresh caught crab but need to be really close to ocean to get that. This place is awesome as Lodi needed someplace that served seafood. We shared a bucket with dungeness crab, shrimp, clams, red potatoes and corn. We chose the cajun with hot spice. It was not terribly hot so give it a try. Everything super hot and tasty served in a plastic wrap with a bib and plenty of napkins. Right up there with any other restaurant serving this style seafood. Super busy so we had a half hour wait.

    I placed an online order using a promo code with no issues. Shortly after, my husband tried placing…read morea separate online order using a different promo code for a 10-piece meal, but his code wouldn't work. I called the Lodi Wingstop to ask why, and the person who identified themselves as the manager told me that because they were so busy, they weren't accepting promo codes. We were told our options were to either wait an hour between placing our meals or drive to the Stockton location. What made the situation even worse was the manager's attitude. Instead of trying to help or offering any kind of solution, they were rude, dismissive, and acted like we were inconveniencing them just by asking a question. Customer service goes a long way, and this was one of the worst interactions I've had. If you're going to advertise online promotions, they should either be honored or clearly communicated as unavailable before customers place their orders not after. Very disappointing experience. To make matters worse, we ended up going into the store anyway to place my husband's order. Unfortunately, the poor customer service didn't stop there. The same rude attitude continued, not only toward me but toward several other customers while we were there. It was disappointing to watch people simply asking questions or trying to place orders be treated with such disrespect. Being busy is understandable but there's no excuse for treating customers poorly. A little kindness and professionalism go a long way, and sadly, that was completely lacking during our visit.

    I am not sure if it is an every day thangg or just yesterday. I ordered online. When I was there…read morefor pick up I noticed like 5 customers there waiting on their orders. I knew I probably had to wait like them lol Yup! I stood there for a good 5 minutes before someone came and talked to me. I told her my name..she walked around then went to check on my order. She came back letting me know I had to wait for about 7 more minutes. While waiting, I ordered some drinks and the tub of ranch. About 15-20 minutes later I got my foods. The service wasn't that bad. It was just pretty lacking...while eating, more and more people started coming in. What I really like about this place was the size of the wings. It was a good size compared to most places. Also, they got the order correctly even though it was super busy. The wings were made right. Good amount of sauces over the wings. It wasn't too oily or too salty. It was perfect. If only the place was a bit more clean and service a bit more attentive, it would be an amazing experience. I recommend to order online. Who know how long you gotta wait if you order in person Hahh

I'm sure there's reasons why they don't, won't, can't carry them, but oh well. Getting used to Lodi being kind of a vegan food desert has been a bit challenging. There just aren't a lot of us veggie people here I guess. If you read my reviews you know I'm vegetarian. I review for people who are looking for veggie friendly food as a priority, and I include vegans wherever I can. Anyway now that Bridget W. told me about the Happy Cow app I will probably have more luck. Other than that pretty large gripe, this place is A Ok. Clean, quick service, customer service is adequate, food is made fresh to order, nothing too crazy. There are tvs to watch sports and the bathroom report is a pass with flying colors. It's usually packed full of families. But sorry not sorry, unless I'm not very hungry while out and about with my partner, we're going to pick Buffalo Wild Wings every time because they have cauliflower wings for me. So if someone reading this has any pull, maybe consider having the beyond chicken option that your website implies that all of your locations carry.

If they had a different vegetarian dumpling flavor to choose from for a little variety, that would be awesome, but for now I'm well pleased with what they do have. We have thus far only ordered take out, and have not dined in. I've tried and liked the vegetarian versions of the egg roll, potsticker, dumpling, and steamed bao so far. The bao veggie filling is different than the dumpling filling, and it's very delicious. They have standard Chinese dishes in addition, but I have not ventured far into the rest of the menu. Unfortunately I cannot as of yet share whether any of this, or the dipping sauces are vegan friendly. Hopefully on a future visit I can find out and report. The dishes I have so far mentioned are vegetarian friendly. Not sure on the dipping sauces. Possibly? The price is pretty decent for what you get. One order of bao or dumplings is plenty for two people. They are about $13 each. I like how the takeout containers come in a reusable canvas bag. Ordering over the phone has been smooth each time. So, we keep coming back when the hankering hits, braving what can be a busy parking lot.

    Went to Buffalo Wild Wings today with my daughter. We were seated immediately by an older gentleman…read morewho was very friendly and let us know our server would be with us shortly. Within a minute, he came back and explained that she was busy and offered to take our order himself, which I appreciated. Our food came out in a timely manner and everything tasted good. Unfortunately, the service after that was disappointing. We never received a soda refill until we flagged down a waitress who asked if we wanted one. After saying yes, it took another 7-10 minutes before we got our drinks. During that time, she walked past our table several times and seemed to forget about the refill. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there appeared to be plenty of employees working. However, it didn't seem like anyone was helping each other out. Several employees walked by our table while cleaning nearby tables but never checked to see if we needed anything. Overall, the food was good, but the lack of attention to customers made the experience less enjoyable. Maybe next time I'll go to Wingstop, where at least I can refill my own soda.

Like magic, the beverages just appear. The food comes out quick and is always good (spicy garlic and chipotle dry rub are our faves). We always sit at the bar but went a couple weeks ago and it was full so we took a table instead. I wish I remembered our servers name because she was great too! We eat out A LOT, and b dubs here in Lodi is top 2. Scotty solidified that for us but the wings are really good also. Oh, special shout out to their "alcohol of the month." I really don't know if that's what they call it but every month/holiday they feature a new boozy bev. Right now they have Jameson or green tea shots for $4!!!!! Where can you get good food and cheap alcohol paired with great service all under one roof?! I wasn't expecting to love b dubs this much but here we are. If you go, look for Scotty and tip him hella well because he deserves it!
