    I checked the reviews and opted for the combo B (headless shrimp and snow crab legs) with the "Big Bang" seasoning. I chose the "hot" level for spice because the waiter said the "mild" barely had spice that day. It was delicious! Came with melted butter dip too. The heat was building because I started getting a runny nose lol Our waiter was very friendly and even gave us some tips and information about the Savannah area. Service was 5 star! I got some rice, and gobbled most of that bag myself. My husband got chicken tenders with some sweet potato fries cuz he doesn't eat seafood, so if you're itchin for seafood but your guest isn't, there's still choices for them. Def would like to go again!

    Hollow crabs

    Longer review is on Google, so on here I'll just say I received horrible customer service an hour before closing when walking in to place a to go order. I left no tip due to the awful customer service. In retaliation, they gave me crab legs that were hollow and salty. This place is already expensive as is - It was a complete waste of $. Ahmani took my order. Her and the host's attitudes were awful.

    After eating

    I probably wrote one the first time we went but since we've been 4 times it's a little expensive but so worth it absolutely we fight over who gets to eat what I love that you can customize the spice level my boyfriend hates spice I love it and we still enjoyed it and there's definitely enough sauce in the bag but we got the extra sauce and dipping it is honestly just apart of the experience the place looks cool with writing all on the wall and like a crab shack vibe I love it and we've had 4 different servers and I can say that I obviously have ones I liked more but they were all amazing all where quick some made nice conversations but all really good we we're always checked on quickly and everything brought out surprisingly fast the food again amazing

    Snow Crab Legs
    Nyla S.

    In my opinion it's just a standard seafood boil restaurant. The onion rings were small like I like them but I just tasted whatever it was battered in (and it tasted like flour). The fried shrimp fell into the same category as the onion rings but the shrimp were nice sized and butterflied like I like them. I ordered the hot seafood bag with a pound of crab, shrimp and sausage it also includes potatoes and two corns. The sauce was good and spicy and I enjoyed the crab but the sausage wasn't the typical kind and I only ate one when usually sausage is my favorite. I wouldn't rush to come back but I'm also not against returning.

    Seafood Platter - Large
    Linda S.

    What a fun atmosphere for a seafood place. We ended up coming here because the fine-dining places had long waits. Lol. I'm glad we ended up here. It was relaxed and fun. We walked in and we were seated quickly. We felt the price was the level of fine-dining but with a picnic type ambiance. Shae was our server and she was fabulous!!! I'm not kidding!!! I was surprised at how she stayed at our table and took the time to answer all of our questions. I was expecting her to run off but she didn't until all of our questions were answered. That's awesome service!! We ordered the large Seafood Platter and shared it. It was perfect for us. I thought the flavor was amazing!!! I enjoyed the flavor of every item in the bag. Dipping it in the garlic butter was almost sinful. We had a great time at this place and we would return to share another platter. If you come to this place, I hope your experience is as good as ours.

    Came into the restaurant and was told to signed in to be placed in line. The guy in front told us it will be about 20 min wait. It needed up being about a 40 min wait. It was defiantly worth the wait so I wasn't complaining. Place was near the hotel I was staying in so that was a plus. They did have social distancing inside the restaurant. A few tables have been blocked off, which was nice. We ordered the combo A which had 1lbs of shrimp w/head, 1lbs snow crab legs, corn and potatoes. We also ordered about 2 lbs of crawfish all in The Big Bang medium sauce. The Big Bang had all of the sauce and spice mixed together, lemon pepper, garlic butter, and cajun seasoning. They also gave a side of dipping butter, which I enjoyed. Most places don't offer that. Food was very flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed every bit of the food and their sauce. Check out this place if you are in the area and love spicy seafood, you won't regret it. Probably the best seafood boil I've had.

    Shrimp basket with sweet potato fries
    Chris W.

    This is a casual Louisiana-style Cajun seafood restaurant in a strip mall. They are most known for their Louisiana boils. They have seafood baskets of fried fare, and large expensive platters of crabs, shrimp and lobster. We stopped in for some fried seafood baskets for lunch. We ordered shrimp basket, catfish basket and chicken tenders basket. We tried both the Cajun fries and the sweet potato fries. A brief summary is grease, and we got greased out. The food tasted ok but is soaked in grease. The Cajun fries were greasier than the sweet potato fries. Our favorite was the sweet potato fries. I believe they added some brown sugar (or some type of sugar) to coat the fries. They were pretty good. The shrimp was tender, layered in a Cajun season and battered. The catfish was also tender. It was cut into strips which made for nice finger food. The chicken strips seemed to be battered just like the shrimps. We ordered takeout. They didn't do a good job notifying customers when food was ready (we were supposed to get a text/call). We finally went inside to check and found our food waiting for us on the counter. An older lady was waiting after us. We went inside to check for her and found her order was also ready and waiting. This was our first visit and we haven't tried one of the boils. If we come back, we will have to order the boil.

    New Year's Eve

    This place is awesome. We had shrimp, sausage, blue crab, and little clams. The calamari was fine but the other food was spectacular. We thought it was better than the fine dining downtown. The servers were all great and showed us how to eat the crab best. The ambience is seafood divey party. They were playing Earth, Wind, and Fire. Think drunken pirate.

    What kind of oil is used in your fryers? My wife is allergic to peanut oil and soybean oil. If your restaurant uses canola oil, we will be on our way!

    Although I don't know what type of oil they use in their fryers, their best dish, in my opinion, is the Low Country Boils which doesn't use oil to cook. They have plenty of options besides fried food.

So you're supposed to wait to be seated (to get a table number), then go up and order and they bring your food to your table. When I arrived, there was nobody at the maitre'd stand so I just got in line like the other two parties ahead of me. I quickly figured things out and made my order of the fried Fish and Shrimp platter with cajun fries. I just came from the gym so I was pretty hungry. The food came out piping hot and it was simply delicious. The food was fried/cooked perfectly with no excess oil. Portion wise, I feel that I got good value for my money.

We were given menus and told to go up to the front to order. Hawk took our order and they were super awesome. Very knowledgable and helpful. I got an oyster po boy with sweet potato fries, my mom and aunt got shrimp salads, my brother and sister got the shrimp tacos, and we got hush puppies, calamari, and a couple of clam chowders to share. (My little cousin got chocolate cake for lunch. That's it. The perks of traveling with your grandparents! LOL) Several of us also got adult beverages...they had a decent selection to chose from. My po boy was really good and the sweet potato fries were excellent. The shrimp salads and tacos were enjoyed as well. The hush puppies and the BUTTER were amazing! I thought the calamari was just a little tough (but not the worst) and the clam chowder was thin...more of a soup. Overall we highly enjoyed our meal and would recommend this place if you would like some fried seafood!

Even after the 2021 rebrand, it still held on for a while, but something in the last 5 years at the main office has completely lost touch. They expanded to three locations: ; downtown, Tybee, and Hilton Head, and in the process the whole identity fell apart. The menu has been gutted of its originality. The "OG" items are now overpriced, portion sizes have been cut in half, and the original sides that made it special are gone. What used to be a simple, order-and-sit-down experience is now chaotic. You're herded in by an overstaffed but somehow still disorganized team of high-turnover employees with zero consistency and very little emotional intelligence. There are always way too many staff for the number of customers, yet service somehow keeps getting worse. Last night was the final straw. We tried the Tybee location first, waited 30 minutes just to be seated, only to be told they were basically out of everything and could only do drinks. So we drove to downtown. Same exact thing. Out of sausage. When we asked if we could just remove it or substitute it, we didn't get a simple no, we got an "absolutely not," because apparently everything is pre-mixed and nothing can be adjusted. Even worse once we sat down. It took 15 minutes just to be asked for drink orders. A different server came over, introduced himself like we were starting fresh, and then got visibly annoyed when we said we'd already ordered water and a soda. From there it just kept getting more awkward. At one point he bumped my cup while I was literally lifting it to my lips and told me to "watch out" while he was placing food down. He took forever to check us out and finally bring our soda to go, and ended the night by saying, "just so you know I'm faster than the other girl," like we were in the middle of some weird staff competition we didn't sign up for. On the outside it still looks like a fun Savannah staple. But once you sit down, you realize you're no longer a local guest, you're trapped in an overhyped tourist operation that's completely lost what made it good in the first place.

The restaurant was absolutely packed, and it was clear when I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and asked if the jalapeños could be left off (their version has bacon, cheese, shrimp, kale and jalapeños) it was a "premix". Makes sense for efficiency, but anyone with a dietary or allergy restriction wouldn't have that option. Presentation also had a lack of personal touch. A friend and I each ordered a half dozen oysters, and instead of serving them separately, both orders arrived together on one large platter, but he was seated several people down the table, so we ended up placing the tray in the middle and reaching across. When I asked for another plate to separate them, there seemed to be some confusion and I was simply given an extra small plate instead. Everything was just "okay". One friend ordered the shrimp and grits and really enjoyed it, and the drinks arrived quickly and service was fast in general. Unfortunately, the low point was a friend ordered a half dozen raw oysters, but they didn't arrive until the rest of us had completely finished our meals and were asking for the check. Thankfully he had also ordered a po' boy sandwich, because otherwise he would have been sitting there hungry. To make matters worse, the oysters that finally arrived didn't taste especially fresh, and at $22 for a half dozen, they were hard to justify. Our server was friendly, but throughout the meal she had to be reminded of several items we'd ordered, almost as if we were placing the order a second time. On a positive note, the rooftop bar upstairs was a nice surprise and probably ended up being my favorite part of the visit. Overall, it felt like a restaurant designed for volume and convenience in a tourist-heavy area. Plenty of people seem to enjoy it, and I can see why it's popular. Our experience didn't live up to the hype. If I'm looking for seafood in Savannah, I'll probably explore other options next time. Glad they have covers for the patio when it rains.
