Just proof of my order!

I've been to this restaurant many times and I usually I rave about it and highly recommend it to everyone I know. Literally my go to crab boil spot, I go with my family and friends. I was craving it so bad but was just simply to tired to go out to get it after a long day at work. That was a mistake, my first and last ever uber eats order here. Im guessing because it was an online order they decided to give me the WORST crab boil I ever had in my life. Old hard potatoes,old corn, and the smallest blackest most overcooked crab I've ever seen in my life! complete disappointment and waist of $70.00!

Seafood is my ultimate love; pair it with butter and garlic and you have created a monster. After work, I was craving a lobster tail and decided to try this little spot. So glad I did; for 16$ you will get one lobster tail, an ear of corn and a red potato. Choose the sauce you want then your heat level. Kind of hard for me to drive home with the smell of fresh garlic and butter in the car. My food was very good and it was fresh and flavorful which paired nicely with my glass of Winter White!

I love some seafood. My friend suggested this spot. It was ok. I feel the food need a little more seasoning. I ordered medium spice but I didn't feel a kick of heat at all. I might give them another try.

Food was great! I can't say the same about the wait staff. There was no one at the hostess stand when we entered. The bartender saw us enter but did not acknowledge our presence he continued wash & putting up glasses. There appeared to be one waitress, she had to take care of each table, which created a longer wait. Also, the music was too loud and it wasn't resturant music, it sounded like a personal playlist which was not necessarily appropriate for the environment/atmosphere. There were tables that were not clean with no patrons sitting there. We had to wait for a table once we were acknowledged. Although, there was one waitress the service was not too bad. I was really impressed with the flavor of the food! I really enjoyed the catfish basket(it was a little salty) but it had a nice batter and it was cooked to perfection(for me) I love catfish, I prefer it over any other fish/poultry/beef/pork. So, for me to say it was good! It was good! Just too much salt. I also had the 1lb. Split King Crab broil, flavors were really good. I had the Cajun flavor and I was impressed, I didn't like the split I felt like the meat was missing! I would have rather took the crab leg apart myself. Overall, the food was good. The service have room for improvement. In my opinion, the establishment will be frequented by a younger crowd with little to no expectations.

I went here yesterday and I must say it's not my first time nor my first choice. The reason it was picked is because we were in the area and they serve alcohol. All the fried options taste the same to me. We had the gator bites, shrimp and fries and mozzarella sticks and each tasted just like the next. I had the lb of "jumbo" shrimp which came to the table looking like every other seafood boil in a bag's regular shrimp. That part makes me wonder what the "regular" size shrimp looks like. Small maybe? Well like I said it's not my first choice nor my forth so oh well.

My crab was covered with parasites eggs... they aren't harmful of course but very unappealing. They're also not difficult to remove. A little washing off prior to cooking would remove them. I noticed they were also floating around in my sauce.

Had it for the first time today and one pound of shrimp was literally goo, very squishy and inedible. Very disappointed won't be going back.

I usually get the house seasoning hot and it's tasty. Service is always fast and efficient ready in 15 minutes. I usually call ahead.

Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.

Got a maple old fashioned it had some sweetness but wasn't cloyingly sweet. Second drink was a bacon Manhattan. Made me think about 10 years ago when Bacon was really big. They call it hog hattan. Opened up with the chicken Caesar salad. The chicken on the salad was warm like it was in the oven. The pizza bread is nice touch. They also offer bell pepper as part of welcoming relish tray. Just made me think about ordering an Italian beef. The pork chops sounded tempting but ultimately ended up going with a NY strip for my entree. It was cooked how I like nice and rare. Double baked potatoes one of those steakhouse dishes when you see on the menu you just have to order. Closed it down with some cheesecake topped offed with some berries. I will say there could have been more seasoning on the steak like garlic, cumin, salt.

However, today I decided to try a different jerk spot. The food was honestly just alright. I kept looking for the WOW factor but just didnt get it. I ordered a 6 wing dinner with two sides. The wings were a little salty and taste more like American bbq chicken rather than jerk. The jerk sauce taste like a pre-packaged marinade. The cabbage was also salty with a slimy, greasy texture to it. The Mac and cheese was STELLAR! The vibe is a nice spot to drop in for spontaneous lunch. They do have adequate seating to accommodate dining in. The restaurant also appeared nice and clean. The customer service was good, friendly and welcoming. I even met the owner, "Antwon." It's always a nice touch to see an owner present. All and all the food was just alright. I honestly just didn't get that "authentic Jamaican spice taste". Jamaican Gates still holds the throne .
