I’m from Maryland and we came to the restaurant as a large group. I ordered the fried shrimp, corn on the cob with the butter on the side, and a beer. Almost 10 minutes after ordering the waitress comes back and shoves the menu in my face stating she would have to charge $6 extra because the putting the butter on the side was “extra”. After explaining I was just asking for the regular portion of butter she said she would still be $6 extra. Once the shrimp arrived they were lukewarm to the touch and the fries were ice cold. I asked to speak to the manger and she then stated she would be able to accommodate my request for the butter on the side. When I mentioned the temperature of my food she then stated she could “heat it up”. I sent back my entire meal and drink. Another person in my party ordered the soft shell crab salad and after everyone had almost finished their meal they come to announce they have “just” run out of soft shell crab. A woman in my party also received cold fries with her short rib but they offered to bring out new fries for her. My mother ordered the same thing as me and also her meal was cold. Honestly I’ve never received service this incomplete and unapologetic.

We came here spontaneously with a party of 10. I made reservations by phone a few hours before our visit. Staff was friendly, food was delicious and messy, as it's supposed to be =)

Please don’t waste your time we got here at 9:20 and they turned us away like any thriving business post last order 9:30 or 9:00 whichever your preference but don’t turn us away after explaining we traveled 45 mins just to patronize your establishment poor professionalism I could only imagine the service and food 0 stars and never even tried it

OMG! This is definitely an awesome experience. The crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn in this large plastic bag were married with seasonings that elevated flavors that took me back home in Louisiana!!! You gotta Treat yourself at least once. BUT I know you would HAVE TO come back AGAIN !!!

I don't know what they put in their sauce, but it's fire !!!!! Our new favorite Cajun spot when we're in SF

We ordered 2 pounds of shrimp to go but shrimp is not fresh. You can see the head of shrimp are black and meat is stiicking in the shell so its really hard to eat.

Very good! Worth the money and it's a fun experience. The shrimp is the best. The crab is good but sometimes the shells are a little too soft which makes it hard to crack open and eat. Other than that, it's super tasty and fun!

Love this place. Been here a few times and always a good experience. The place is clean. Food is fresh. The staff is friendly. I definitely will recommend. My favorite is the spicy seafood boil and the garlic noodles.

DELICIOUS FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE! This was my first seafood boil and it'd some of the best food I've ever eaten. Our server Tina was super friendly and attentive. 6 stars out of 5 and I'll definitely be back!

Food was really good especially for the cost. In my opinion, it wasn't expensive and there was more than enough food for 2 people

Ate here for the first time with a few of my friends and we were displeased with the overall experience. We couldnt substitute anything on the menu, if we didn't like the taste of the food we couldn't switch it out and what we got was very nasty. We couldnt get a refund. The customer service was very poor. And i asked for lemonade as my drink and the waiter said if i didnt like the lemonade i couldn't switch it out or get a refund AFTER she said the lemonade was very sour. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for a sea food boil. Oh and i asked for Cajun as my sauce. It looked like it was gravy.

Overall pretty good, a bit on the higher end of the price spectrum for what it is but that's ok.
