Seasoning was very dry. Good flavor , don't recommend. Over cooked shrimp was hard to peel.

This was by far the best seasoned crab legs I've ever had ! Unconventional delivery, but that just added to the experience ! I need to buy your kowa bunga seasoning !!

We were looking for seafood near our hotel. The crab was old, the shrimp large, but not cleaned well, and we asked for not spicy anything. Hubby added sausage and 2 corn cobettes (at an additional charge), and the waitress failed to mention that the sausage was spicy. The garlic butter sauce had no flavor. The best part of our meal was the corn!

The place itself is nice, though the food was just okay. Staff can be a bit more attentive as well.

Food was very good. The reason for the 2 stars is the service was horrible horrible horrible.... and it was Father's day and we were in before a big rush. But I had to wait 30 mins for my plate and they gave my Father's food to another table and ended up giving him the wrong flavor. We didn't want to send it back because we had to wait even longer for his. Both my son and my mom finished there food and we still never got ours even with us asking and asking the waitress.

The food was good! Prices are reasonable..The problem we had was the service, It wasn't crowded, but it took my husband 45 minutes to get an order of Crabcakes, the waitress didn't to care , she reply by stating she doesn't work in the kitchen. People started coming in and were serviced and finished by the time my husband was served! One couple set behind us received Crabcakes before my husband.Customer service this very important!If you want repeat customersPlease hire more experience Waitressis

I got the fish & chips and the butter and garlic crawfish. The fish was breaded in generic breading akin to the frozen isle at a Walmart.The crawfish was flavorless. They appeared to be well seasoned, but they tasted like old water. The tails were shriveled up to the point where I could the tail shell off while it was still attached to the head.The fries weren’t hot. They were flavorless. The Cajun fries my wife ordered was flavorless too. Just a bunch of powder.I honestly think they’re using oil instead of real melted butter to cut costs, but it’s costing them customers.The wait staff was attentive and kind, so we didn’t demand a refund. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and could be a hot spot if only they added some seasoning!

I had the fish & chips and my husband had the Dungeness crab. The fish and chips, to me, was inedible because the batter was breaded, something the menu doesn't note, and I found it dry, hard and unpleasantly crumbly, although the fish itself was moist and had nice flavor. My husband said the crab in garlic butter sauce was fine, but he still found the whole experience "weird", because neither of us is used to having expensive crab out of a plastic bag with a pair of scissors. I guess it was too informal and a tad inconvenient. But if either breading or plastic bags don't bother you and a down-and-dirty, no-frills approach is your thing, the food is quite good. The fries were some of the best I've ever had, and the service was great, accommodating and friendly. The waitperson even brought us some fries on the house as we waited for the crab.

Terrible!!!! Ordered Cajun shrimp with sausage as a side. When the waitress arrived, I thought she was taking out the garbage but instead, she plopped a clear plastic bag on the table in front of me and said "enjoy". Everything I ordered came mixed in a plastic bag. Reaching inside the bag was bad enough, but with the Cajun sauce in the way, my hands and half my forearms we're covered with sause. Frustrating enough was the fight I had peeling the shells off the tasteless shrimp, they must've undercooked them, after just a few tries I just gave up. Complaining about my experience, they removed the charges with no apologies from the inexperienced staff. Bubba Gumps here I come.

this was the worst place i’ve been to, they gave me 4 lemons 4 packs of ketchup & the shrimp had no flavor! all i tasted was the ocean if you like this place you’ll love the one in salinas 100x better

Their sauces are extremely over seasoned. The batter on their fish is more like KFC than tempura.

We really liked it and so did our kids! If you’ve ever experienced a “low country boil” in the south, it’s similar to that. Also, you won’t leave hungry, and the flavors are great!If you’re tired of the same ole, same ole everywhere else, you should give this a try, it’s tasty and fun.

This place is amazing! Loved everything we got. We did two buckets (one crab legs and one crawfish) the house sauce is fabulous! Definitely will be back!!!

Thomas Potok

This place is a great find and a great addition to the seaside area! I had the house seasoned crawfish and it was delicious! Took me back to my trip to Louisiana! Would recommend!
