I wish they had some regional IPAs on tap but that was the only negative. I ordered two helpings of snow crab clusters, which were on special, some potatoes, sausage, corn on the cob, and had a do-it-yourself seafood boil. I put my gloves on and went to work. My wife ordered the popcorn shrimp and sides and loved them. We both had leftovers and heated up they tasted great which doesn't always happen with this kind of food. Going back for the Dungeness crab.

I had 1/2 lbs. of shrimp that came with potatoes, sausage, boiled eggs, and corn. The star of the show, however, was the sauce! At one point, I actually grabbed a spoon and just ate the sauce. Delicious food and the staff were super, super courteous and friendly!

Our server, Chavez, was super welcoming and happy to answer questions about the menu even though the kitchen was about to close. We were definitely the last diners to leave so we were very grateful they'd been happy to serve us. The food was really good - the combos come with hush puppies which we didn't notice on the menu. A great local Southern seafood spot!

Came back and gave a few options. Asked about the hush puppies on my plate - could not tell me what was in them. Was told they come already prepared. Then I look at the salad covered in cheese. I told her that cheese is definitely dairy. Why would I have cheese on my salad. That she could actually kill me. She laughed. I don't eat out a lot because of allergies. But I have never had to go through such as this before. I paid 20.00 for food I had to throw away because I did not feel like playing Russian Roulette.

I was here at lunch and it was fairly crowded. Service here was excellent. A table couldn't set idle here for two minutes until it was bussed. I did have to add a healthy dose of hot sauce to everything as the red beans and rice were nice and fresh but bland. I would say the same for the remoulade sauce as it was rather bland compared to most. Overall, I thought it was a good value for the money. The staff seem always rushed but you can still have a very calm meal at the same time.

Everything we were served was dripping in grease. It's so dark, you can't see the dirt. When you go to the bathroom, there's a sign that says outhouse, you don't go through those doors, you turn at the sign. There was a hole in the floor that I think was supposed to be covered. But wasn't. There's a changing table that looks like it's never been cleaned and honestly I wouldn't put my baby on. The bathroom is dirty, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. I have no idea how people eat in the place. I will never go back. I paid $50 for 2 meals, an appetizer and 2 teas, FOR LUNCH.

The service was fine, but it was a little slow, maybe because they didn't have many servers working that day, when we talked to a server, we learned that the whole business had changed ownership completely, so the original owners were not in charge anymore. They actually sold the entire franchise company. There are many memories here going to college and visiting afterwards, but unfortunately, that place has changed. I still may come through here when I come through town, but just know if there are some better places in town to eat now.

The…read morerestaurant is located just off the highway in a gravel parking lot with lots of advertising signs lining the exterior of the building. Thanks for the GPS or we would have passed it. Inside is one open area with basic wooden tables and chairs. We were seated right away. Waitress said it was exceptionally slow evening. Service was excellent as she was attentive ensuring we were ok. Their menu had a nice variety for everyone more than what's posted on Yelp. Sorry, I didn't take an updated picture of it. Gulf Shrimp looked and tasted like regular shrimps from the grocery store. Nothing spectacular. Baked potato was good. Surprised they gave artificial whipped butter tho instead of real butter. Hush puppies were ok. One commented Mac n cheese wasn't that great but everything else was. Another commented the pasta was very flavorful but a bit watery and noodles overcooked. We didn't have any adult beverages so can't comment on it. Younger one had an ice cream sundae and said it was very good. Price was reasonable as well. We'll consider going back when in the area again. Recommend trying especially the catfish.
