It's been a minute since I've have had a seafood boil and man was this place was worth the wait!!…read more I came with a friend on a Wednesday night and thankfully it wasn't too busy. As for food we got the Combo 2 and our choices were shrimp, clams and snow crab. We went with the Torpedo sauce for our boil cause it was a mixture of all their other sauces (garlic butter, classic cajun and lemon pepper) and we got it at a medium spice level. And oh boy oh boy did it set our mouths on fire but in the best way possible!! The sauce was everything we wanted it to be, spicy, savory, garlicky, tangy and just pure indulgence. To calm the heat though we also got cajun fries, rice, Thai tea and Jasmine milk tea. Sharing a meal with a friend is always nice but sharing a meal with a friend here is great. I believe food is the ultimate uniter and I'm happy we chose to go here!! My one and only con is just the location because it was a bit sketchy especially at night but the food and service was so good I think it's still worth it to go.

While this place is well known for their seafood boil bags, I spontaneously came in recently…read morebecause I was craving fried food and an ice cold beer. I arrived right around the time the lunch rush was dying down so the wait to be seated was minimal. I kept my recent order simple - fried catfish basket w/lemon pepper fries, onion rings, and a Modelo Especial. Linzie did a terrific job setting a wonderful atmosphere. She definitely came across as a pro server-wise, as she anticipated and proactively answered common questions asked while I was ordering. Her recommendation to get the onion rings with mild seasoning was honestly spot on. I do recall her mentioning temporarily covering for another server, Leina - who was on her break at the time. Both ladies were awesome, making my most recent dining experience here super easygoing - thank you both! I've been here months before for 1-2 lbs of mussels, which I also enjoyed. I look forward to coming in again, especially to try more of the menu - like the fried scallops basket, fried wings, shrimp, seafood boil bag add-ons, etc.

Our server was so sweet and welcoming. She walked us through the options and made recommendations based on our party. For a party of 3, we ordered one pound of shrimp, one pound of snow crab, and half pound of clams. The staff recommended mixing their sauces and it definitely hit the spot. The seafood was fresh and meaty and the garlicky, spicy sauce kicked the flavor up a notch. We also ordered a side of fries to share and the dip it came with was amazing as well. The price is very reasonable! It was definitely bang for your buck. They have happy hours that span a good chunk of the day so definitely take advantage of that. Will definitely be back to support a local small business.

Order: Shrimp Burrito, carne asada burrito, fries, calamari, chips. Garlic bread, rice, bang bang…read moresauce Pros: Reasonable prices, pleasant customer service,cleanliness was on point. The music was good and sports were available if that's your thing Cons: It took 30 minutes to receive our appetizers and at that time I was told they could not fulfill a portion of my order, I withdrew my order of rice and bang bang sauce. After 30 more minutes most of our order came out with the exception of the garlic bread. I was told that it takes a significant amount of time to make and asked if i wanted something else instead. I felt an hour for two burritos was excessive so declined adding anything else. Moments later my bread appeared. It took a full hour and some change to receive our order which I thought was unreasonable, especially since at this point we were the only patrons. Overall: Food was alright, reasonably priced, and portions were aligned with the price. However, I would recommend ordering ahead or anticipate a long wait time. When we went we were one of two patrons but it seemed they had a fair stream of take out orders. I frequent the area but do not live nearby and nothing caught my attention enough to return.

We've been going to this Shrimp Lover location for years and have celebrated many birthdays and…read moreother special occasions here. This past weekend, we realized we haven't visited this place for several months so we decided to go for dinner. The parking here is usually packed but there's a lot of parking spaces, so it isn't too much of a bother. We were surprised to see a few changes in the store - good changes. Part of the store has been renovated to accommodate a cloud kitchen (Thai cuisine). They were closed when we came so we'll have to try next time. They've removed the signature Polaroid photos of customers who have dined with them (which I kinda missed seeing) as well as the fishing net that hung on the ceiling. These changes gave the place a cleaner look. What hasn't changed? The same friendly staff who have been there for years. Our server even recognized us and said it was nice to see us again. The menu had a little more added to it but the usual Cajun seafood boil remains the highlight. They now accept credit cards again but the option to pay cash is still available. Since there were only two of us, we only ordered the Cajun seafood boil, the Cajun fries, fresh coconut juice, and their new dessert - coconut pandan cake (this is a must try). At the end of the night, we came to an agreement that the flavor of their seafood boil is still our personal favorite. We've dined at other seafood boil places but The Shrimp Lover is one that we'll always come back to.

It's one of those "low-key hidden but worth finding" spots. Don't let the location fool you! I went on a Tuesday during the week when it wasn't busy at all -- nice and chill vibes. But babyyy once 6 PM hit? Dinner time activated. The crowd definitely started rolling in and you could feel the energy shift. So just know traffic picks up later in the evening if you're planning a visit. Now let's get into what matters: The staff? Super attentive and kind. I love when servers check on you just enough without hovering. And the food came out HOT. Not warm. Not "it's been sitting." I'm talking steaming, fresh, straight-to-the-table heat -- which is exactly how a crab boil should hit. Portions were generous because I was overly stuffed and still had plenty left over for the next day (which honestly might be the best part). Nothing like reheating a seafood boil and running it back. Thank you for hosting me and my guest -- we had such a good experience. I'll definitely be back for my next crab boil fix lol

We waited for 30 minutes to be seated even though plenty of tables were open, waited another 30 minutes to place an order, waited another 40 minutes until the food came out. At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.
