Here’s my honest review.
Host she was cute and nice. No complaints.
1lbs king crab legs..ehh shell was soft, meat was mushy. I eat cause it cost $89 bucks.
1lbs mussels for my liking undercooked, not all opened. Only had sand or crunch in one.
Corn soft and mushy. No crunch like corn normally has. Some might prefer but I don’t. 2.99 for half a corn was bs though.
Potato’s cooked was okay, Those I prefer to melt in your mouth.
Drink specially soda, I know ew..bad for you don’t need it… 2.99 for 1 20oz (i think) filled to the brim with ice then topped with your drink choice.. so like 10ish oz of drink, then no free refills. I thought we got out of 80s. Gotta pay for 2 freakin drinks for one person. Lame….

Flavors and choices of heat is critical for a picky family. Fun place to dig in and work for you tasty bites. Get a crusty bolillo to soak up the garlic and spices. Yumm

If you'd like a good crab boil, I believe this is the only one in the area . The food is very good. Just a little pricey.

I’ve been here a few times and enjoyed it every time, except for our last visit. I got awful food poisoning from the mussels I believe, because I was the only one who ordered that out of my party and was the only one hit with it. Can definitely say my experience with crab/most seafood in general has been ruined.

The food is always delicious but the prices are far too high to go back. Never spent as much as we have here at any other restaurant before and we eat out a lot. Try not to sit in the side room as it echos and is extremely noisy.

Fun seafood restaurant
Do not get the king crab leg or snow crab clusters. $20 for 2 legs that were almost dry inside and $40 for 4 legs is kind of insane. This is our first time trying it and for the amount of money you pay the place atmosphere is like a run down dinner. There is no service, they take your order, drop it off at your table and you will never see them again. Then you go and pay the tab at the register. For the price, you might expect a nicer place and service but it might be worth it for someone. I would not do that again. This ticket is for 2 people.
Sensational experience. I don’t even like seafood and this is the best seafood I’ve had in my life. Truly a once in a life time experience. Must try before you die!

We arrived around 9 pm in a Friday and it was a popular place which showed that it must be a historical landmark in the downtown area of Chico. The service was helpful and perfect timing on sitting arrangements. The atmosphere inspired me we were very pleased. Family fun.
Seasoning on the food is amazing. Crab was ok. The rest of it shrimp, sausage, corn potatoes again amazing. Place is not the most presentable but is clean and homey.
Food is good! But they cheat you out of your portion of food.
Went for the first time. It was valentines day. My wife I decided to enjoy a lovely evening. Was busy but was worth the wait. Highly recommend to try if you havent.
Waited awhile to get seated on a night that wasnt busy at all, they later apologized and made up for it with the food.
