The stars are based off my food. I ordered crab claws and fries. The crab claws lacked a lot of flavor. Probably the the most bland crab claws I've ever eaten. The breading texture was not great either. For a seafood restaurant and the current market price, I expected much better.

The fries were good, nothing special.

However, the remoulade and cocktail sauces were delicious!

My daughter and husband enjoyed their mahi-mahi and buffalo chicken tacos.

Salmon was overcooked and dry. Disappointing! Only orange 'cheese' used on the baked potato - had thought they would use proper cheddar cheese. We didn't even get a menu for ten minutes, so I went looking for it. No wifi, either.

This place has great seafood to be so far inland from the Gulf of Mexico. We ordered Blackened Salmon and Shrimp. The Coleslaw was perfect. Not real diced up and slather with sugar like other places. It has a nice even mixture of some mayonnaise and chop cabbage. The Red beans & rice was a generous portion. We also ordered a sampler tray of oysters on half shell. They were fresh with samples of oysters Rockefeller, oysters parmesan and some others with cheese and jalapeno peppers. Very tasty and not tiny. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

Always a winner. I've never had anything from here that wasn't excellent and I've been coming here for 30 years+. The blackened mahi is amazing, as well as all of the sandwiches.

It's was a particularly busy Thursday today, but the staff was holding it together, especially the bartender. They were slammed and when I showed up at my estimated pick-up time, my order wasn't ready, so I waited at the bar and the bartender gave me a complimentary drink for my wait. It took a while but the food was worth the wait ?? I wish I could add photos but we were hungry and ate before we could get pictures ?

This was always a favorite stop while in Troy but this time was disappointing. We wanted raw oysters (which was the whole reason we came) but we were told they didn't look good. Tap beer was served warm and the salad was old (seemed like it had been prepared either the night before or had been sitting a very long time). Pass on the hush puppies. Liked their gumbo and fried crayfish tails!
