My husband and I googled a boiling crab originally and this place popped up. We were hesitant but the food looked good and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We called to see if there was any wait time. Since there wasn’t we went. From the moment we stepped in the service was AMAZING and food was DELICIOUS! The gumbo, clam, shrimp, crab, and corn! Absolutely everything was great! So much better than boiling crab! This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I will definitely be coming back.

I just ordered to pick it up but there's some missing item which is the corn and potatoes.

This review is more about the service than the food. From the moment my friend and I arrived, it felt like our server had an issue with us. Her attitude came off as dismissive, like she was forced to serve us and didn’t want to.
I let her know I have a shellfish allergy and kindly asked if the clams could be packed separately. That request seemed to annoy her, and she didn’t hide it. Instead of helping further, she had a colleague take over. Unfortunately, even that second server seemed hesitant to help, likely influenced by the first.
It’s disappointing because I’ve been to this restaurant before — this was my third visit — and I’ve never experienced service like this. I’m not sure if there are new owners or staff, but this visit left a bad taste.
The food itself was okay — not amazing, not bad. The crab legs were actually good, and any tip I left was really more for the second server, who at least tried to be more professional.

Delicious! If there were a bigger and better way to describe the food, I would... It was amazing..

Been coming here years since it opened. Always get the Combo, for the Crab or Lobster with your choice of 2 other seafood, you can’t go wrong with their price. Compared with other prices from other places their flavor can hang with the best.

First time visiting this place. Great menu, but the service was slow. Chicken tenders were dry on the sampler, but popcorn shrimp and cod were fantastic. I would return to try something different.

Although my main server was excellent , Ava was also a fast and friendly server! Everything was delicious and fresh! I did not wait very long for service and for my food. Had the snow crab legs with cracking seasoning, corn, and asked for rice later.
Will be coming back for sure!

Unfortunately the food was not good. The king crab was flavorless even with the sauces. The shrimp was dry and sausage was not good, felt wet and had no taste. Probably the worst crab place I've been too. Only good item was the grilled cheese sandwich.
