I came here on a Friday night with a friend and we decided to try their seafood boil. My friend…read moreopted for the Dungeness crab bag, which came with tasty sides of corn and potatoes. I went for the pick three, choosing shrimp, crawfish, and clams, along with sausage, corn, and potatoes, all doused in spicy garlic butter. The garlic butter flavor was incredible in every bite! I didn't really touch the potatoes, but everything else was absolutely delicious. l snapped a picture after I finished, as I forgot to take it when it got to the table! Now, the service was a bit off. There was a language barrier, and they forgot my friend's extra crab, but they made it right in the end, so it was no big deal. The music was spot on--definitely my kind of vibe with 90s R&B playing. I noticed the walls were filled with names, probably from past customers, which added a nice touch. It's definitely a cute and relaxed spot for a date night or a friendly dinner catch-up. With other options in nearby cities, I'm not sure I'd make the trip back on my own, but it was a fun experience overall!

After wanting to go to this spot for so long we finally made it in. We came in on a Tuesday and…read moreopted in for their taco Tuesday deal which came with rice and beans. The tacos and rice and beans were absolutely delicious. Before I started with my entree I got their gumbo. Hannah was working behind the bar and she was incredible, we asked for some hotter sauce and she got has habanero peppers in oil which was amazing. All of the food and the service was top notch here. We sat at the bar they have 2 small TVs so we watched a few highlights of games which was nice. I have to get back here and try everything on the menu, if their tacos and gumbo were this amazing I can't wait to try other things on the menu! Reminded me of being back in New Orleans.

Worst crab boil I have ever had in my life! As someone who has a grasp on culinary affectation AND…read moreknows Lowcountry cuisine on account of my upbringing... No. Being located in Connecticut versus New Orleans, Georgia, Florida or Maryland does not give you a hall pass to sell over-priced seafood that is not up to edible standards/fresh. No crab seasoning dusting AT ALL. Crab was freezer burned with grit on the shell. I got the special sauce + the hottest level. Red water. So diluted and devoid of flavor. The "boil" was literally the consistency of water. That's not a boil. They likely have pots of unseasoned water that they ladle in the bag post steaming. So bland, zero love and not at all authentic. Also-- small russet potatoes were not cleaned prior to being cooked whole and are rigid/raw in the center. Over-cooked shrimp. Boil base has ZERO flavor and likely just MSG + coloring. Disrespectful. Wrong potatoes, wrong process, wrong chef, wrong seasonings, aged crab, wrong everything. My meal was 'to go'. If dined in?! Absolutely not. Nope. I would have left it on the table! Trust me-- I'm calling my bank and if they want to FaceTime the food in the trash... fine by me. I can't eat this. There is dirt in the sauce and all of the elements because they did not clean the crab, shrimp + potatoes. There were two rotten potatoes in my bag and freezer burned snow crab clusters... disgusting. Hit "The Boil" in NYC, "Juicy Crab" in MD-- even "Hook & Reel" in Orange, CT. That's where you get real Cajun flavor profiles and actual spice! This restaurant has zero business serving seafood boils. Really, really subpar.

The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the experience. The food itself…read morewas very good and worth trying if you're a seafood lover. My only issue was the drink policy. The restaurant advertises three drinks per person, but once you hit the 90-minute mark, drinks suddenly become full price. For a meal that's already around $60 per person, it feels unnecessarily restrictive and comes across as nickel-and-diming customers. If you're entitled to three drinks as part of the package, having a strict 90-minute cutoff that turns those drinks into an extra charge leaves a bad impression. Overall, the seafood was excellent, but the drink policy took away from what would have otherwise been a much better dining experience. Update: To their credit, after further discussion, the restaurant ultimately honored the advertised drink promotion. I appreciate that they made it right, but I wish it had been handled without all the additional stress and aggravation. At the very least, it would have been helpful if staff had given us a heads-up that we were approaching the 90-minute cutoff so we could have ordered our remaining drinks before the time expired.

Sandra's Next Generation has been my absolute staple in the community for over three decades…read more Sandra Pittman has been cooking in this same location since 1989, and I've been eating here consistently since 1995.

Don't let the neighborhood fool you; this is a masterclass in authentic cooking. Sandra and her husband Miguel have been running this place for over 30 years, and that level of dedication shows in every single dish.
