Undergoing a name change. Dropped in for a crab boil. Staff seemed a little lost but that could be because of the change happening. The food was good but has the potential to be much better. The restaurant was nice and clean but was a little confusing as it's in the change over. The crawfish/shrimp boil was good but lacked flavor. Nice portions and great flavor on everything else. I definitely try this location again just hope there is a little more flavor. read more

Came here recently because my family and I were wanting seafood but didn't want to drive far from home. This was my first time here. Dillon was a really great server. Very nice, respectful and mindful. We went on a Tuesday night which can always be a little slow. No biggie. Food came out pretty quick once waiting at the table for 10 mins. They give out free bread which didn't taste that bad. I ordered the Cajun pasta and it was alright, could've been better. Fried catfish had good breading but it was a little too thick. Fries were nice and crispy. The étouffée was pretty good. And their seafood pick 3 was mid. Overall not my cup of tea. read more

We read a lot of mixed reviews about the Storming Crab and finally gave it a try. The place has a fun decor vibe, reminiscent of Joes Crab Shack in the old days. We were seated and greeting immediately. A few minor hiccups..... our server gave us unsweetened tea with almost no ice, when we had ordered sweet. Quickly remedied. We were going to order the seafood bread as part of our appetizer, but our server told us he would bring us some for free. It never happened. Regarding the meal itself.... Everything tasted pretty good, fresh enough (for Texas anyway), although my daughter's Po Boy was kinda sparse on filling. All in all, a positive dining experience and we will probably return. read more

Decent boil. I won't complain at all. It was a lot of food that came with it. Now service isn't great and the oyster shooters are horrible!!!! I also like that you get cheese bread to start with. I ordered the No. 4 combo that comes with snow crabs, crawfish and shrimp (I believe 1 lb of each). Also did very hot and it was barely any kick to it and mixed all the flavors. Couldn't taste much until the bottom just from the excessive amount of butter. I took the remainder home and after it sat overnight it was really good. I'll go back thought honestly lol. read more

Gumbo was horrible. It had the consistency of thick dark brown gravy and didn't taste remotely like gumbo. Took two spoonfuls and sent it back. The fried shrimp tasted like shrimp tempura which was not what I was expecting from a Cajun place. They could have used more spice. Even the fries were bland. Crab cakes were meh (we've had better from Costco!). and the imitation crab balls that came with the crab cakes got left behind after the first bite. Best thing about the place was the service and the saltine crackers that came with the gumbo. read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar for baseball and crawfish. The 8 pounds of crawfish (split between a couple) came out FAST and was incredible! Beer was cold. Sides were soso, and there are no salads on the menu, although a house and Caesar are off menu items. Not happy that the price on the menu didn't match the price per pound. Also the staff seemed a little overwhelmed so refills were slow. The manager could not get our game to play, so we were stuck watching it on the phone. All in all, this seems like a fun place to bring a family- like a mom & pop Joes Crab Shack. read more

It was difficult to locate the establishment. The business had a sushi sign instead of the business name. The business name was on the windows. Very easy to miss. We were greeted and seated very quickly. The environment was quite and strangely had no smell of food. We were given menus that were very old and dated and a lot of the items were mark off unavailable. The prices were too high for the atmosphere and menu selection.

15.99 a pound for overcooked crawfish. Definitely the most expensive around DFW. Ordered 6 pounds requested half mild and other half spicy. Waiter then makes fun of my guest saying she needs to keep up with her spice and he's going to cook all of them together so it'll be easier for him. We were adamant on having half mild since she can't eat spicy. He brought out the 6 pounds all spicy and overcooked. On top of that decided to charge our card for another table's order on top of ours. Asked if we ordered the catfish and just stared at us like we would be alright accepting the bill for someone else's table. Absolutely ridiculous, overpriced over cooked terrible service. read more

We waited over 30 minutes for our food. I ordered a salad and I had to finally ask the hostess for it because I was famished. The food when it finally came was marginal. My husband got clams and he approved. I got catfish and it was thin and overcooked IMO. read more

Unfortunately, the service was questionable. Our server had difficulty communicating in English, which led to a costly misunderstanding. When we ordered crab, she never asked what type of crab we wanted and instead assumed king crab, which is significantly more expensive than other options. As a result, our bill was much higher than expected. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill without it being mentioned to us beforehand. While restaurants may choose to add gratuity in certain situations, customers should be clearly informed so there are no surprises. My advice: enjoy the food, but be very specific when ordering. Confirm exactly what type of crab you're getting, verify the pricing, and check your bill carefully. Also remember that gratuity should be clearly communicated and not assumed. Better communication would have made this a much better overall experience.I'd rate it 2.5 out of 5 stars. Great food, but the service and communication issues took away from the experience.

Ok I guess I am gonna be a negative one on this one, and I hate to be the one to be so negative -…read morebut got to be honest with what we experienced. First thing first if a restaurant mentions on their door and their website/Google maps that they are open till 11:30 PM - i totally imagine that they will be open till at least near that time. We were late, but life and baby does not work on a timetable, but knowing that we can still go out and celebrate was important. We reached the restaurant at 10:22 PM and were immediately told last call in 8 minutes. Weird, which restaurant does last call an hour before. Next we were absolutely rushed throughout the dinner. Again, we understand us being late and if the staff needed to leave early, just let us know to come back again and we would have been more than happy to go somewhere else, rather than plate full of food being tried to be cleaned up. Just change the restaurant timing if you cannot abide by your own time, we would not have chosen it as such! Sounds pretty bad to complain about the time when we came in at 10:22 but we came in then BECAUSE their times mentioned they were open for an hour more which any reasonable person would say is enough! Food was extremely mid - having eaten at many MANY sushi restaurants now, and knowing what we get for what we pay for, maybe it was because the staff wanted us gone The Bluefin Tuna sashimi was great, Yellowtail was very mid (like felt "slimy"which is a weird feeling to have when eating sushi lol), my wife obsesses over Salmon and this time she was being very generous to me with her pieces lol. The double pleasure roll was pretty good, but came too late to the story. Ambience is great. Staff was decent, except our server who was hovering hard. I totally understand you want us out of there, but just dont sit anyone if that is the case - dropping 100+ dollars to have that experience does not feel right. I will stop, I always read these reviews and imagine a crumudgeon somewhere angry and writing this, but this is just a warning to anyone who was gonna take a late night dinner option here!

All good there but when my daughter ordered the crème brûlée it came out with lemon ice and lemon topping, she doesn't like lemon. We asked to get the crème brûlée without the lemon on it and the manager said we would need to buy another. I was surprised as we had purchased an appetizer, 4 rolls and a dessert. And had we known that the dessert would have lemon on it we would have declined that combo. Sashimi was tasty, roll options are mostly boring basics. If you want a healthy fresh "fish forward" roll they don't really have it. Tons of fried or cream cheese with crab stick options. That's not really sushi. Edamame was good.

Hutchins BBQ

Family-owned & operated

Been in McKinney a long time and Hutchins is just part of the routine at this point. Whenever…read morefamily visits from out of town this is where I take them, because it's the easiest way to show off what real Texas barbecue is supposed to taste like. The brisket is the reason I keep coming back. I usually go fatty, and it's got that dark peppery bark and stays so tender you barely need to chew it. I've eaten a lot of brisket around here over the years and theirs is still the one I measure everything else against. You cannot skip the Texas Twinkies either. It's a whole jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in thick bacon, and it's every bit as ridiculous as it sounds in the best way. Grab a jalapeño cheddar sausage link and some mac and cheese on the side and you're set. The line can get long on weekends but it moves fast and it's worth the wait every time. If you live around here and somehow haven't been yet, you need to make a stop here! Ya'll won't regret it!

We ordered the…read morepepperoni cagliaritana, Caesar salad, TNT panini, small three cheese pizza, and tiramisu and every single thing hit. The cagliaritana had the PERFECT ratio of ingredients and the crunch on the pizza was unreal. Everything tasted and smelled insanely fresh. The Caesar was loaded with freshly shaved parm and somehow tasted way better than a Caesar salad has any right to. I think the croutons were also homemade? Perfect! The small three cheese pizza was also perfect -- great crust, great sauce-to-cheese ratio, and honestly the perfect size to split with someone alongside a salad. But the TNT panini?? Holy crap. The second you unwrap it, the smell of the garlicky focaccia hits you immediately. And the pink sauce was some of the best I've had. The tiramisu was also the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It wasn't overly sweet and soggy like most in this area. Cannot wait to try the cannolis! After years of searching for real Italian food, I finally feel like I found it. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, and genuinely kind people. The owner (or who I believe was the owner working the front) was so friendly, accommodating, and transparent about timing. We ordered ahead online and everything worked out perfectly. Already excited for the leftovers and cannot wait for another visit!

FRESH ingredients, they have to be made daily, the taste is so superior & clean - hands down some of the best pizza I've had! You can tell much love is put into the food Im giving this 4 stars for wait time/service - While I do understand good things take time, I believe they open at 4pm - a couple times I've ordered around 5pm, told could be a 45 min wait that turns to an hr & more. Then you get there, it's not a sitting type of restaurant - you just pick up. I've been there when at least 10 other ppl are waiting as well... it seems they are so good, either a bigger space is needed or more staff to accommodate. I say this also cause the last couple times, a younger lady is checking out clients, seemed she had to be new & somewhat confused as to working the front. Overall must try their delicious pizza!! Order ahead, run some errands, then pick up - is best

Crab is a delicious treat for me and my husband. My eldest is highly allergic to seafood so we can not have often. We recently got back home from a long trip to India. We were missing our favorite restaurants so much we made it a family dinner week at 5 of our favorite restaurants. The storming crab is so delicious. I never have a bad experience here.

I ordered snow crab legs , mild with butter sauce. I think the dripping with an oil not all butter was not good . I have had all crab favorites in many restaurants. This was not a good taste to me . I feel the flavor should enhance the crab not drench it in an oily bunch of gunk . I am sad because this is a new place and I will never eat there again . read more

In fact, compared to many other seafood restaurants, the prices are quite affordable. We started with the gumbo and jalapeño soup, both of which were delicious.
