    Very good selection of seafood choices and your variation of spices. I enjoyed the meal n chill environ. Good boils!!

    This place has the look and feel of a former strip club or night club at best. But we didn't come here because we heard it was a looker! The food and our server, Robin, were the stars. There were 7 of us and six of us ordered the low country boil. The other got calamari and wings. Every bit of it was flavorful, plentiful and worth the drive and the $$. Robin was a great server, she made sure we had everything we needed to throw down. It was real messy so don't wear anything you care about, but even if you ruined a shirt, it would be worth it!!

    I love this location. The staff is so friendly and very welcoming. I wouldn't say come on a first date here because you are going to get messy. lol Wear the bib and gloves they provide. The portions are plenty big and the seasonings are chefs kiss. The juicy crab seasoning is so good .

    Beware of this restaurant, my family and I chose this restaurant as our weekly pick. What a mistake. After we paid and were packing up our leftovers, we noticed a penny in our crab bag ‍. In addition to wanting to vomit, we had so many questions. Our server was great. We brought it to her attention, and my husband requested a manager. Our waitress came back and took off the bag with the penny in it. I expected the manager to come out and inquire for something of this magnitude. A manager did not come out. I didn't want to give the waitress too much. I planned to contact the health department and a manager the following day. The restaurant took no accountability. They claimed they reviewed the camera and found no evidence. However, my question is: "Did you see my family place a penny in the bag on the camera?" Then, to add insult to injury, we were invited back. No thanks to stemmed or boiled pennies. My family and I will pass. I will let the health department look into it.

    Entry off of parking lot.

    Three stars may be a little low because my husband enjoyed our dinner here last night. But, I thought the customer service was a bit lacking. We had trouble finding the building but if you take a left on Collins, going north on Blanding (21), then you'll see it tucked behind the Race Trac gas station. The entry is off the parking lot--and spaces are scarce. My husband said people could use the lot belonging to the nearby plaza. Be sure to ask for an iced tea in a clear plastic glass. Mine first came in a red one and it looked very pale and tasted like ice water. When I mentioned this, I got the old "because it's in a red glass" statement--but that doesn't change the taste. LOL. My refill came in the clear glass and tasted much better, probably because it actually was iced tea. The appetizers were very good, oysters for my husband and wings for me. I was offered a sweet BBQ without anything onion (my food allergy) in it. It was mustardy but good. We "built our own" entrees and there was a lobster tail with snow crab legs and a lobster tail with steamed clams. Because we were celebrating a wedding anniversary, we ignored the prices--which were market pricing. This meal, if you get two items, comes with two potatoes and a half ear of corn. My husband got the House trio of spices but I asked for just butter with mine. When it arrived, my items were swimming in an orange-colored broth/sauce. I had been very clear about "no spices, no heat" and so I asked why there wasn't just butter. The server said "we put spices with the butter." She did not know what they were. I think she could have told me that when I ordered! She did not offer to take it back so I assumed there was no alternative but to eat it. I carefully wiped off every clam, the veggies, and the lobster tail. I got them passable for me to eat. Halfway through the dinner, she saw that I had put everything on a separate foam plate (from the appetizer) and asked me if there was anything wrong. I repeated my concern about the spices and she said "Well, you should have told me and I would have had it recooked." Huh??? Okay--the place has an energetic vibe, with lots of TVs and music. Very busy and yet the hostess and server were friendly. The walls are written on and we added our heart with initials. They have one dessert--a fry bread in stick form. We were not told they had it until after the check came--I had to ask. I'm sure it was tasty but we were full (and I was a bit exasperated). Also, bring your own crab/lobster picks for getting claw crab meat out, and you have to ask for hand wipes after dinner. I tipped 20% and thanked the server, whom I will not name. Perhaps she was new.

The decor is playful and immersive, and there's usually something going on -- from live DJs to karaoke on the main stage. The drink menu is where Nakama really shines. There's a solid selection of mixed drinks, often with creative anime-inspired names and presentations, plus a nice bonus: they serve a local soda brand that's actually pretty tasty. It's the kind of place you go to kick back with friends, sing your heart out, and enjoy the scene. But when it comes to food -- that's where things fall flat. The menu technically comes from the café next door, and while it sounds promising on paper, it doesn't translate well to the plate. Most dishes are either way too salty or bland to the point of forgettable. It's clear food isn't the focus here, which is fine, but it's something to keep in mind if you're showing up hungry. Service is friendly and accommodating. Staff does their best, but they're often out of certain menu items and seem to be working with limited resources -- not their fault, but noticeable. Honestly, a new chef or reworked food concept would go a long way. A quick heads-up: the private karaoke rooms are fun but overpriced at $16 per person per hour, so weigh that before booking. Still, the open-stage karaoke and regular themed events keep the main space lively and fun without the extra cost. Bottom line: Nakama is a great place to hang out, drink, and enjoy anime-themed entertainment. Just maybe eat beforehand.

Besides the server giving my SIL's boyfriend the wrong item (they gave shrimp when he ordered fish and he's allergic to shrimp), everything else tasted mediocre. I had the seafood boil combo with snow crab, mussels, blue crab, corn, and potatoes in their Rockin Special Sauce (Garlic, Lemon Butter, and Cajun sauces) in TNT spice level. It wasn't spicy at all and if everything was so SALTY!!!! I couldn't taste anything but salt. I grew up having a fisherman dad and I can tell if the seafood is fresh or not and the seafood here was not fresh. The snow crab's meat was a bit stringy and usually an indication of a fresh snow crab is how hard their shell is. When we tried to crack the shell, it was soft. The blue crabs were decent but I got all males. Usually female crabs are much more flavorful but they were most likely not in season. The mussels were chewy and had weird consistency. The potatoes and corn were probably the best thing in the seafood boil. My husband and SIL also had seafood boils and they both thought theirs were also salty and nothing to rave about. My SIL's boyfriend had the fried catfish platter with hushpuppies and he said it was pretty good. I had a hushpuppy and I agree it was hot, crispy, flavorful and fried to a nice golden brown. Overall, there are better places for a seafood boil. The food is just overall mediocre but the service was pretty good. They do have weekday specials and the prices are decent for the portion size. However, I would skip this place to be honest.
