Wait times can be long but the food is great. Try the lemon pepper fries and don't forget to add smoked sausage to your order.

Underwhelming and overhyped. Actually super disappointed because I was so excited. The best part of my meal was the rice. Worst part was that everything was extremely overcooked. The shrimp tasted like rubber and the sausage was like beef jerky! Our server was so unhelpful and slow, he only checked in once during the beginning. We had to find him multiple times because he was forgetful, which is fine—we get it, it’s busy, but because he didn’t check in on us, he wasn’t able to help us. He wasn’t even on the floor most of the time, so even then, it was difficult to ask for help. Two stars is gracious and a bigger estimate in my opinion. I wouldn’t waste your time here, especially since the wait is so long. Try elsewhere.

Watch out when you order through door dash because you can’t check your order. Boiling crab combined two separate orders into one bag. That means less sauce and having to figure out what’s a pound. It was annoying that we paid for separate orders and it specifically said two separate orders but someone got lazy and put them all in one bag. They didn’t send bibs or table mat. Very annoying.

We used to love this place, until yesterday my sister ordered for dinner, we all agreed for some reason taste was bland, it was mostly oil, some of the shrimp was black in some areas, that we cleaned off before we ate, 30- 40 min after my sister ate hers she vomited her entire food she ate, this is not good. never again we should of stopped eating it the moment we agreed it just didn't taste the same

Pathetic service. Called in to order food at 8 PM, the host picked the call and she asked us to wait and never showed up. And we called again and no response. If you are not taking togo order says so. We are not idiots to the line

The food is very tasty. The only bad thing is that you have to wait a long time to eat.

This place is just Ok the prices are sky high 3 people over 200 bucks easy with no alcohol? Once you tried this type of restaurant once or twice the novelty is gone. You can get more seafood for less money elsewhere. Try it once. Otherwise not a great value here skip it......
