Wasn't even waited on good at the front camera for 20 minutes they wouldn't even seat me at a table ready at the front count or just put on her phone and stared at me the whole time people came in behind me they wait on them but not me

Ordered a bag of dungeoness crab snow crab and king crab all supposed to come with corn,sausage and potatoes only one bag had sausage and it was bag with king crab legs told my waiter he got the manager and manager argued that he checked bag before it came out. My family was seated at a booth near the front of house on the side manager did not check bag neither did the waiter service was horrible and there were guys walking around with guns that were visible to the naked eye skee masks with book bags on will never support this business again customer service was horrible I still tipped the waiter even though he didn’t check the food before it arrived to the table very ghetto not to mention had to wait 5minutes to be seated and there was not a big crowd. Would not recommend this business to anyone

Visiting from SC. Stopped by this restaurant because it was near our hotel. Went in during happy hour, ordered 2 adult drinks & food. Charged full price for two strawberry margaritas when flavored margaritas are priced at $5 during happy hour. Manager stated I would have to pay full price because I didn’t specify “I wanted a happy hour drink” which I wasn’t aware I needed to(I thought a flavored margarita would include “strawberry “)Just very upsetting because they seemed to blame me for the miscommunication. If you’re thinking of going here please SPECIFY and ask questions. You may ask for a cup of water and be charged for a bottle lol.

Order incomplete. Substituted item without consent. "Ruined the experience!"Cajun and garlic butter flavor wasn't good either. Service good, people and environment were welcomed.

We came in town for a Wrestling tournament. My son wanted crab legs as a reward for doing well. they were recommended by the hotel staff. So we gave them a try. I will say that they had some of the best snow crab legs I have eaten and that says alot being I'm from Louisiana.

We came in town for a weekend sporting event. My son really wanted crab legs. We were considering a few restaurants in the area, but the employees at our hotel recommended this place. When we arrived, I'm not going to lie it was a little questionable with no one there on a Saturday night. This is prime example of never judging by the looks because this place was amazing. Hands down, the best crab legs we have ever had. That is saying alot especially with being from the coast and my spouse from Louisiana. I got the manger special with mild cajun seasoning, my spouse and son got the 2lb broken crab leg special with medium cajun seasoning that was listed on the hostess stand, and we got sushi. The service was great. I wish I got her name. She was very attentive and sweet. The restaurant did end up getting busier throughout the night. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the amount of food we got. The locals did not disappoint with this recommendation. If we are ever in this area again, we will definitely be back! 10 out of 10.

Wonderful staff, nice music at a decent volume, and as always, the food it top notch. My go-to seafood place. I'd eat it every day if I could

Kid-friendliness: Brought us extra sauces and cups for our kids plus extra bibs and forks for them, too. No explicit words in the music and the staff was super nice

The server at the bar refused to make a drink and told us she was suppose to be on break and she was the only one working . She complained to us when she should have went to her manager and not the customer. The food was great. Service was horrible . The drinks were okay.
