As the picture shows, unfortunately, not a single person in the place on a Tuesday around 5:45.

Delicious. The decor is pretty tired, but otherwise I’m not sure why this place isn’t packed on a Saturday night. It’s a bit pricey, but pretty average compared to other restaurants like this, though the cost for sides is a bit above. The full house sauce is reaaally good, we had medium and it felt like a true medium. The shrimp and snow crab legs were so good. Got sweet potato fries to dip in the sauce. Would definitely go back.

We walked in and we could smell like a dingy, moldy smell....so we walked out. Almost like their fountain machines aren't cleaned or we were smelling the pipes.
They really need plug ins to deter from the smell because we were VERY excited to try it and were quickly disappointed.
It's really good seafood boil for what you can get here

Don’t let the outside fool you, the good is delicious. Great customer service, even my son who isn’t a seafood fan really enjoyed it. 10/10 recommend.
Eerie but good
Honestly definitely had better! And them not having eggs and a super bummer idk wasn't on point
The boiled shrimp was really good, it was well seasoned. I got the family platter for around 55$. I loved the shrimp, very spicy. The only complaint I have is a lot of the shrimp were extremely small. Otherwise customer service was very kind, the food was pretty good and well seasoned.

whenever I want crab boil this is the ONLY place i’m ever going to visit. with it’s pack-full of flavor, filling portions, and incredible service! personally much better then crab n spice…I was skeptical at first because the pictures and atmosphere doesn’t show enough justice, especially where it’s located a lot of people might assume it’s not “safe” considering its seafood. but coming from a repeated customer who’s never had one bad experience here, you NEED to try it. this is the only crab boil place you will find where the price matches the quality of the meal and you’ll find yourself wanting to come back for seconds! 🦀🦐🦞🔥 I love this place! ❤️
To start of you walk in and theres no people eating there, you go to the restroom and the mens is out of order. Secondly the food is horrible and super nasty,i was embarrassed to take my family here. Please dont go here, you will be truly disappointed. The sausage was so uncooked, the sauce had no flavor and we were the only family/people eating there.
The full house sauce in medium is great with a little kick but not too spicy. We got shrimp, snow crab and soft shell crab - all super well done. Spacious and empty inside on a Sunday night, which is surprising considering how delicious and affordable everything is. Will definitely come back!

This used to be a good place to get seafood. But on this visit, the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. It's like they didn't boil the sauce or they poured water on some sauce, it didn't even coat the seafood. The seafood itself lacked flavor. Sauce did not coat the back of the spoon, consistency of water. Extreme disappointment considering this topped the Crab n Spice on my list at some point. If this is under new management, do some serious reset because this is a failire on your part. There was also a strong bathroom, old pipe odor soon as we walked in. We ate in tonight and it was awful to have to sit through that stench. The old man & woman took our odor, brought food, and did not bother to check on us anymore, not friendly either. Not worth the money anymore. I suggest go to another location (Panorama in the SFV) if you want quality lile this place used to have.
