    I always go here after concerts with my family and it does not disappoint! They always get our food ready fast even though we get appetizers and a big boil. We usually get the tangy feast with extra crab and potatoes and it is great. Even when we are coming in late, they still prioritize serving us amazingly. I totally recommend medium for the spice level because it is just perfect. The servers are always nice and we get good service with how well they put out food and make it quick. They are always kind. The ambiance is very cute with lots of decor of fish, pirates and marine life. Their seating options are very inclusive with how many options and you can move the tables if needed. Overall the restaurant is really one of our favorites and it's a great time always!

    This is at the old Outback location and I went while I was visiting family in Kalamazoo. The location is easy to get to. The inside has a very Joe's Crabshack vibe to it. The inside was clean and the staff was friendly. It has mostly boils which are served in a bag. They have some options and you can also make your own. They include corn and potatoes, you can also add extras. They have some options of seasonings. We got the Cajun one but it had no heat to it. It did have nice flavor but I wouldn't call it Cajun. The shrimp and crab were good. We did order mussels but it never came and luckily, we were not charged for it. We also tried the crab garlic bread which was also good. Overall, I'd say it's 3.5 stars. Side note: the to go boxes are terrible for the items. It was a styrofoam box and I immediately knew it was going to be a problem. I handled the box carefully but it still managed to leak inside my bag making a HUGE mess. Hopefully, they do different options in the future.

    The hubby and I went to lunch, and he really wanted seafood. Upon our arrival, the restaurant appeared pretty empty. It was 2 pm. and two other couples in this large restaurant. From what I could see, the restaurant was very clean. We were seated, but it was almost 7 minutes before we were greeted or offered anything to drink. The service from staff was VERY slow, the food presented very well but it was luke warm as though it was just warmed up quickly and out in a bag with sauce over it. The potatoes ans sausage were not authentic to what a crab boil ahould be either. We have had many seafood boils, but I would have to say this was the least pleasing one I've ever had. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't good. I did, however, enjoy the lemon pepper wings A LOT. When we were ready to leave, we waited for 10 minutes to see a server, and eventually, my husband had to call out to someone so we could pay the bill and leave. Between the service and the mediocre food, I will not return to this location unless it's for the lemon peppee wings.

    What a cute place!! Very nautical. We stopped here to celebrate a birthday. We each ordered a bag of dinner. Meals are served in heavy duty plastic bags with a buttery spiced sauce in the bottom of the bag. We each had a seafood combo-shrimps , lobster and crab. The meal is served with a couple of small red potatoes and a half ear of corn- both are mere vehicles for the aforementioned buttery sauce. It's a messy meal-definitely not a date night place- you eat with your hands and wear plastic gloves. And a bib. With lots of napkins. But it was delicious!

    Stopped in for the first time while getting new tires on the van. We were there at an odd time--like 2-3 pm--so they weren't busy but they were short on staff. The bartender was also waiting tables. She waited on us. She was very pleasant and friendly but you could tell she was being stretched--she was very friendly and kept us apprised on our food, but she was running all over the place. The snow crab was great! Really enjoyed the lemon pepper seasoning. I'm certain we'll be back.

    We visited on a Monday. They did not have a lot of staff but I have learned to except that in these days. We got the raw oysters and hush puppies for an appetizer, both were excellent. My companion got the shrimp basket and lobster bisque, also very good. I am a fried chicken fanatic and had chicken on my mind, I got the breaded Cajun wings. They were not very Cajun but, they were some of the best fried chicken I have ever had anywhere. We will definitely be back. Maybe I'll try more seafood next time.

    The food was delicious! I had the spicy Dungeness crab boil with corn and sausage. Everybody's meal was well spoken of in my party, the place was very clean and decorated rather nicely, it was a great place for my birthday party and I will definitely return. The service was timely and Racquell our server was great and helpful to us all, being our first time there.
