Went out for a pre birthday dinner
The food is good, but sometimes they get a bad quality batch of shrimp and they still serve it.... I wonder why serve bad mushy shrimp to the customers who are paying a premium for these. Do the right thing and just discard the bad shrimp.

The seafood boil was amazing, just the right amount of heat to the palate. Good amount of food for the price as well.

The food was great. Whatever sauce they serve with the bag is great. Vegetables were cooked perfectly and all of the seafood items came out very tasty, no funky seafood smells! They did seem to skimp on the crab, but maybe I was mis-judging their portions. Very fun place to bring family or a first date.
Parking: Shared lot, but the far end is slightly sketchy, dimly lit and very sparse.
Kid-friendliness: High chairs and fun decor for kids to enjoy.

Appearance is simple but clean, however the food knocked my socks off! I had a lb of mussels and 1/2 lb shrimp, done with the works and I chose spicy. It was delicious, and unfortunately it was more than I could eat! Food was fresh and came out very fast, I can't wait to come back, Great job!

This is my family's favorite crab place and it has the best flavored boil. It looks like a hole in the wall joint but it seems pretty popular like a hidden gem. I see different kinds of people eating there and it can get pretty full. I'm just not a fan of their calamari as we tried it this recent visit and it was thick and chewy but everything else was delicious.

The Ace Combination special was excellent with the House special sauce. The 1 lbs combo for 4 was plenty enough for 6 of us with the side orders of Fried Pickles, Onion Rings and Hush Puppies. I’m still burning garlic. So yummy!!!?

The food was okay. The flavor was mediocre, and the sauce was not hot (heat, not spice). I also like my shrimp peeled and de-veined; this way, the sauce is on the seafood and not the shell. My corn was not done at all. The pound of snow crab was good, and a nice size this was a bright spot. This place came highly recommended, but was a fail, and I wouldn't return.

If I could leave a 0 star review, I would. I drove 20 minutes to pick up the food because we’ve always ordered to go here since we like what they have. This time, I ordered extra sauce expecting more than they usually do which is always a lot. Today, I got told that they don’t put sauce on the side or the extra sauce in the bag. Completely just stole my money paying and wasting an hour and twenty minutes of my time just to ask for what I paid for. Don’t come here if you don’t want your money stolen.
