    A little "hole in the wall" seafood joint. The food is good and the service was polite, and prices…read morewere reasonable given that it's seafood (which isn't cheap to get fresh in Kentucky). I had the fried shrimp, and they clearly were NOT just frozen shrimp they'd bought somewhere and fried, these seemed homemade. . .definitely NOT typical mass-production shrimp. The food was pretty good. There's two things I would list as downsides, however. The first is that the wait for service was pretty long. It was quite a long wait from when I ordered until I got my food. That's a minor downside, given the quality. I got the picture they might not have a robust back-of-house staff. The second, and bigger downside is. . .I didn't go there expecting a seafood place! The well-worn sign out front still says "Deez Butts" BBQ, and I'd followed signs from the freeway exit thinking I was going to a barbecue joint. When I stepped inside, I pieced together as I was standing in line that the BBQ had closed and this was now a seafood place. It was good food, but I was expecting barbecue and was too hungry to bother hunting for another place to eat. I was left wondering if they couldn't afford to change the (well worn) sign out front. It just seemed a little odd that the sign out front is for a barbecue joint, but it's a seafood place inside.

    All I can say is OOMMGGG!!! We were in town for the local soccer tournament and decided to give…read morethis place a try. It was so dang delicious that I can't wait for the next tournament to go back!! We had the crawfish dip, crab leg boil and shrimp boil. It was all so good but lemme tell you about these crab legs!!!! Insanely good! Better than the ones we get in Florida!! They were so well seasoned. The Royal Reds & fried shrimp were delicious. The sausage was perfectly cooked!! Those potatoes cut like butter. The crawfish dip was plentiful with crawfish tails!! Not a single complaint!! Prices are good. Bathrooms clean. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

    Edit: Removing a Star due to a more recent visit. A lot of things didn't hit the mark this past…read moretime, from the food to the service. Still a great place and I do recommend them, but not 5 Stars. Waitress was very kind but didn't know the menu or the beer list. Shrimp wouldn't peel and crab legs seemed overdone. Staff didn't wear masks, which is their decision, but I feel customers should be aware to make their choice as to whether or not to go. Group of 4 of us all left a bit dissatisfied after having previous good experiences. --- What a fun little dive! This place is not fancy by any means. I felt like I was right in the middle of Daytona Beach! Great atmosphere with fresh seafood. We enjoyed everything. There was even live music. Recommendations: The fish sandwich, peel-n- eat shrimp, and fried oysters were all great! Hubby enjoyed my gumbo a lot! Neither of us loved the jalapeno poppers... there wasn't anything wrong with them, just personal preference that we prefer the cream cheese variety to the crab stuffing. You won't find any other place like this in Shelby County! This is a great addition to the community.

    This is 5 minutes from my house! So I'll definitely be giving it more chances…read more First try was takeout due to the circumstances. We had hushpuppies, gumbo, stuffed shrimp app, and a PO boy for around $40.00. The bowl of gumbo had only 3 pieces of shrimp, so that was very disappointing for an $8 bowl of rice and broth. Hushpuppies are good. Stuffed shrimp is good. You get 4 pieces. Good flavor. PO boy was a good size and did have plenty of shrimp on it. I stole a few pieces of my husbands PO boy shrimp to add to the gumbo. He also had lobster Mac and cheese. There was very little lobster involved. But the Mac and cheese itself is good. Overall, we will be back. It's a great addition to Simpsonville and I hope to explore the menu some more to be able to find something that is my "go to". Can't give more stars because we were Disappointed in the lack of seafood on the gumbo and Mac and cheese given the price of these items.
