Just went with my girlfriend. We started with oyster and they were cold and fresh. I'm allergic to shrimp and got a great catfish basket. The catfish was really good and the tartar sauce took it to the next level. My girlfriend got the crab and shrimp combo, with potatoes and corn. She just said it was delicious. The single fried oreo and ice cream dessert was a great ender. I would recommend to anyone in the area.

I'm sure this place is usually good, but my mussles weren't cleaned the byssus was still attached along with small barnacle debris. The shrimp was overcooked. The crab was super small and also not cleaned too well. I'm sure this may have been a one time issue though and respect the overall business for the professionalism.

We dropped in for food after spending the morning in nearby Balboa Park and ordered the shrimp + crab boil and the spicy pork basket. The food hit the spot perfectly! Everything was very tasty and the service was above and beyond. This is definitely worth a try.

The garlic bread was literally a toasted hoagie roll with brown shi spread all over it and then the waiter wanna act all bamboozled to why we didn’t like it and the calamari was harder than sidewalk from the Bronx. The Mac and cheese had no seasoning at all but they had all that time to make it lava damn hot… moral of the story is don’t even think about getting that garlic bread a very distasteful item they have.

Shrimp Head
My family and I tried Shrimp Heads for the first time and I was THOUROUGHLY IMPRESSED with everything. From Cleanliness, Service, and the food!! All of it was just CHEFS KISS🤌🏽✨
We came in with a big group of 12 people (6 of them being kids ten or younger). We came in for the All You Can Eat Crab Boil, not only was the food amazing, but the service was also amazing! The rules of the AYCE is straight forward and easy to follow! the sauces and spices are amazing, the amount of food you are able to get per “round” makes it so fun to mix and match! you will not be disappointed!
I can’t rave enough about the service that we had! From the host to the servers, everything was top tier! A gentleman by the name of Wayne was absolutely amazing and was extremely accommodating to our large party, and he was so polite and nice! Our server Kai was also very nice, accommodating, and just overall extremely helpful throughout our dine with them. he came around multiple times and if there was a change of order or mixup, he was on it!!
Sometimes with large parties, servers begin to get annoyed or frustrated because of order changes and trying to make things work, but the service here was amazing and they just made it seem so effortless!!
A final note! the overall vibe of the place was intimate and family style! and i can’t forget to mention Wayne’s great taste in music, we were jammin to 90s and early 2000s R&B while we were demolishing crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, eggs, and lobster tails!!
This place is a MUST TRY in San Diego for those who are craving a crab boil!! it will not disappoint!
THANK YOU WAYNE AND KAI for your amazing service and for the awesome experience!!
