    Very good seafood and crawfish with beer and wine. Went there with two friends and we all enjoyed a nice lunch. My favorite were the two orders of oysters. They went elbow deep with the rest... and left no evidence behind...

    I am so happy that I found another spot other than Juicy Crab for bagged seafood!! The prices are reasonable, the food is fresh and the portions are big. Thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. I didn't feel overloaded with sodium or bloated, as I often do after eating at other restaurants. There are no kids menus. But there are lots of fried basket options that kids can enjoy. My daughter enjoyed the fried catfish. Pretty crunchy and a good flavor. The butterfly shrimp were a little hard. Wouldn't recommend for kids. They also have crinkly fries - which were pretty good. I took away 1 star bc the service was a tad slow. We ate in the restaurant and there were no more than 2 other tables seated during the duration of dinner. Service was very slow or non-existent. No one asked if we needed anything after the food was delivered and we had to flag down our server for drink refills. Shouldn't have to flag down a server when 3 tables are seated.

    Pound of crawfish plenty

    I'm so confused why this place has such a low rating for their seafood when it's amazing! I came across this place from google restaurants in the area, and the reviews were good, however on Yelp, not so great. I still decided to give it a shot! Being from Miami and have even exposed to real seafood, I know what good food really is, and this place did not fail! Service was fast and food came out within 15minutes which was freshly prepared. The restaurant was clean, no bad smell of spoil seafood. I ordered the oyster basket ( 10 huge fresh oysters fried perfect), pound of crawfish with lemon pepper seasoning (amazing flavor), my brother had the special with the cluster snow crab, headless shrimp, and fried shrimp... amazing food! I'm definitely returning back before I head home.

    The food quality here is excellent. We got a steamer basket of crawfish and shrimp fried tilapia basket and shrimp basket. The shrimp is huge and juicy. The steamer basket is full of food - I recommend the garlic butter sauce mixed with Cajun. Fried shrimp is on point. And really affordable. Each one of us was around $20

    Service was friendly and fast. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Great price for a good portion of seafood. We enjoyed our food as it was fresh and flavorful. We will be back soon. Also the decor was cute!

    Orders 2 baskets of fried oysters bag combo e and c and split amongst 4. It was a lot of food! It was very flavorful though. I forgot the seasoning we got but super garlicky. -1 star only because they served crinkle cut fries. In my opinion, every fries potato is great but crinkle cut is probably the worst of them.

    Fried calamari and hush puppies

    I think the 3.5 average for this place is probably fair. I tried this place for the first time via Uber Eats pick-up last night, since I had a 40% off coupon to use. I was torn on what to order and will most likely order one of the seafood boils next time, since that seems to be their specialty. However, I went with the fried calamari and hush puppies with a side of clam chowder to keep things fairly affordable and simple. There were no issues ordering thru Uber Eats for self pick-up - everything was ready on time, and still warm, despite me having to fight that crazy ATL traffic with 2+ accidents on BuHi slowing things down. Even after sitting for about an hour (since of course, I had to use the restroom and fill my tires on the way home also), everything was still at a good temperature surprisingly. The calamari was still crisp, so shout out to the chef for that! When you pick up, there's a window directly to the left of the entrance inside where they hand you your food through a little door, so essentially contactless delivery which is always good in these times. It was a quick in-and-out process, and I was thankful there was plenty of parking even on a crazy Friday night. The girl who helped me was nice, and everything was packaged securely which I always appreciate, especially when there are a lot of sauces or soup included. Although, the texture and cooking of it was great, the seasoning on the calamari was quite a bit lacking for my taste. I prefer a saltier or more flavorful batter and this wasn't it. The "garlic butter" tasted just like plain butter, so not sure if they mixed that up - it was not salty or flavorful at all. However, the spicy mayo and sweet chili sauce that came with the calamari at least were nice complements to the dish and added flavor. The hush puppies were not anything special; I would say Captain D's does a better job on those overall, but they were worth a try. My favorite item was the clam chowder - it had all the flavor that the calamari and hush puppies lacked. I would get this item again, along with a seafood boil. I'm disappointed I didn't get any corn or potatoes as Uber Eats lists these items as included with the calamari and other dishes, but this wouldn't be the first time UE had an incorrect listing or issue. I guess I'll have to come back for the aforementioned items, along with the gumbo at check-in, but overall not a bad experience and definitely worth a try.

    We come here for good seafood boil & the decor! Lol. Love a place that sticks to their theme & menu consistently.

    The food was amazing and very fresh ... the atmosphere was wonderful . The service was wonderful too. The gentleman who served me was so sweet . And did I say once again the food was bomb.com I'm from New York so where big on food and diversity so I definitely know good when I taste it :-) .

    The food here is awesome! You need to come quickly. It is very good and the building is clean from what I can tell. They are more than generous with the sauce in your boil bags and there is no need to ask them for extra as extra is already included basically. Nothing extra other than your favorite boil bag. The gumbo was good and I am not judgmental and I am open to try different variations. Noooo they didn't have hot dogs in them so I'm good!

    This is a disgusting restaurant! The SEAFOOD is not FRESH! I repeat the SEAFOOD is not fresh! From the fried food to the boil/steam food. Everything is frozen and imitation. The sauce is super sweet. My friend ordered the fried catfish bit into it and realize that this is store bought frozen fish and not fresh. We asked could we return this and they said no. Customer services sucked. She was on her phone the entire time not doing anything. She never came over to check in on us .

She…read moreknew it was my first time there and recommended what I was pretty much going to order so I took that as a great sign. Sesig seemed a little small but was flavorful. It was very spicy for me but It was an addictive spice. To accompany this, I got an order of their stir fried green webs which had a sweet and savory flavor with a small hint of spice. Highly addictive. I liked these more than the Sesig. I don't mean that as a bad thing, but I'd go back just for these! Ambiance is loud. Lots of people crammed into a smaller space that is optimally situated to accept as many people as possible. Very organized and well oiled. The use of the radios among the loud crowd might not make this a good "date night spot" if you're wanting to talk or if you're fine with your discussion getting lost in the noise. The decorations are very islands inspired. Well worth the experience overall!

Based on the reviews and pictures I saw I decided to give Three Buddies a try. Three Buddies was easy to find as it sits right on the main road. They have their own parking lot so there is ample parking so once I turned, I hopped into a park and we headed inside. Three Buddies has a simple decor as the design aesthetic is straightforward and leaves the focus on the restaurant name itself. The restaurant was very clean and had a diner style setup with ample seating. Once seated, the waitress approached us with a warm smile and cheerful greeting. She provided us with menus, took our drink order, and allowed us some time to review the menus in full. With a variation of halal items on the menu, Three Buddies had me wanting a little bit of everything. However, I decided to go with a classic approach and get the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with Onion Rings (both well done). Once our order was placed, it was back to the enjoyment of the ambiance as we engaged in our conversation. When our food arrived at the table, the visual presentation was extra enticing. The aroma was captivating and after saying grace, o was ready to eat.

The honey garlic and sweet chili sauces really stood out and added a lot to the meal. The fries were the only food item I didn't care for. They come seasoned, which isn't my preference, and like many takeout fries, they didn't hold up very well once they cooled down. Parking can be a challenge in front of the restaurant because of the heavy traffic, but there is plenty of free parking available in the back, which makes things much easier. My biggest issue was the price. For 10 wings, a half chicken, and fries, the total came to about $47. In my opinion, that's a bit expensive for what you get. They also don't offer a military discount, which was disappointing. Would I go back? Maybe. The food was good and the sauces were excellent, but the prices make it hard to justify visiting regularly.
