    I ordered the family claw and there was a lot in the bag. Food was flavorful and seafood was fresh!

    2lb Peeled shrimp with corn and potatoes, Cajun fries, classic miches.

    This place is soooooo delicious! I came here on a weekday and weekend and I was assisted right away. Staff are extremely attentive and super kind. The environment is clean and aesthetic to fit the seafood boil style. I always get the peeled shrimp with potatoes and corn full house and I've tried both hot and medium- just a heads up they are . I as a spice lover thought medium was good for me. The Cajun fries are also so good and always fresh. For drinks, the fish bowl is a HIT and the miches are sooooo fire. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be coming back, it is now my seafood boil spot! 10/10 recommend.

    Service was great since the waiter was very friendly and very helpful. They played laid-back music, which had a relaxing vibe. The shrimp was cooked perfectly well, but the potatoes were slightly rough vs. soft. The sauce was bold, spicy, and flavorful. It paired nicely with the shrimp and added a kick to the aftertaste. Will be back to try something else.

    I used to come here all the time but hadn't been in a while since we moved farther away. I was recently in town so decided to stop by. Service was quick and our waitress was nice. However, the food was just okay in my opinion. We ordered shrimp in their full house sauce. The sauce wasn't as good as I remembered and the shrimp was a bit overcooked.

    Great food, place, and service!

    Great food, place, and service! We enjoyed are time here. We always come here whenever we crave for seafoods. We like the sauce because it's not too garlicky but just enough to still taste the seafood flavor with spices! Happy tummy!

    This place was awesome. I got the full house flavor sauce and it was really good. Thanks to our server Hailey she did an amazing job in helping us.

    They put their whole neck, back, and crack into their seafood boil. Whoever said this place was alright was definitely lying because I got a shrimp baby cooking in my pansa right now. Servers are nice and funny, drinks were good everything was perfect. You know it's good when you finish the whole bag and still want more.

    The food was excellent, and our server John was so helpful and kind. The place had a cozy, Christmasy vibe, and the music was great.

    It was OK. I wouldn't run back. Prices are pretty insane to me, especially because you're not eating fresh caught seafood. I was disappointed with the lack of communication. For example, if you tell me I can substitute an item, then I shouldn't be charged for the new item. It's not like I was discounted for the item they took off. Also, $15. For a kids' meal was insane. The Cajun fries were delicious, but the fish was not good. Over all, it was just ok to me.

    1st time here! Ordered the family meals with shrimp, mussels, clams, crawfish, corn, potato and sausage. It was delicious! We had never had seafood boil so we were new to the bibs, no plates or utensils! It was fun to eat! Definitely a different experience. Also ordered the Cajun curly fries, loved the ketchup and ranch sauce too! The garlic bread was tasty! The service was good! Price was reasonable. Lots of food! We're coming back again.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    No, but there is a pretty large parking lot. So car dining is available.

We were amazed by the selection and wish it was closer to our house. I was really interested in getting one of those buckets or bags with multiple drinks that you combine together to make one drink, but when I saw them, the prices were pretty outrageous. I guess you were paying for the convenience. I don't know anyway I bought one of the bagged items and my boyfriend got a single tall and we both got Michelada cups I got the cucumber lime flavor and he got a classic flavor once we got home we set everything up and started to film a video for social media to review the drink bag and shout out the store once I made my video I opened one of the cans that came in my bag and I saw some pieces floating in there then I checked the date and noticed that it was expired so I couldn't complete my drink because one of the items had gone bad thankfully it wasn't one of the alcoholic items, but it was disappointing. I have not posted the video yet online but here is some:

Service: welcomed everyone at the door. Was super nice

The mortadella app was interesting. For one, the mortadella was sliced thicker than I prefer - though it advertised as thinly sliced - and the fritters were not fritter-ing. If a dish could taste flat, this one did. I was also surprised with the calamari because it was very mild and plain. It lacked flavor and no amount of sauce could save it. I felt like there were a lot of misfires throughout the meal. -the vodka pasta ($18) swam in a lot of sauce. It was so watery and lacked flavor. -rib-eye ($48) was under-presented on a plain ole white plate. And it was very much under seasoned. The best dish of the evening was the wood oven short rib ($35). It's a braised short rib with mashed potatoes, charred spinach, spicy roasted carrots, horseradish cream + ajus. The meat was so tender and flavorful, but honestly, what had me was the charred spinach - they were delightfully crispy. I liked it a lot. A few of the things we ordered were no longer offered on the menu which I thought was strange going into a busy weekend without an updated menu. There were some good eats, but lots of mid things and not worth the money. Despite my own personal preferences, I think Biest is worth a try if you need a cutesy restaurant in the area.
