The restaurant looked dilapidated from the outside and was not open for business. We tried calling and there was no working phone system. The website has no been updated.

Went there tonight about 7. Picked up 120.00 worth of food and left a 20 tip. None of my shrimp were deveined, they were over cooked. My crawfish was over cooked. My lobster was over cooked. I didn't receive an item I ordered and when I went to call and say something no one answered. Very upsetting

Overcooked everything we ordered. $130 worth!!! Didn't get an item we ordered. Called to let them know. No one picked up the phone.Had to throw everything away. It was like seafood jerky. Yuk!

First time here and was impressed beyond belief. They threw in a little extra crab legs both blue and snow. Highly highly recommend this place. Make it a definite stop if your in the area...or even if your not!

Sadly we heard amazing thing about this place. On vacation we were so excited we heard from so many locals this was a great place. Maybe a off night. But the actual crab itself was flavorless and dry. The blue crab was worthless tiny no meat. Shrimp was frozen Walmart small. Nothing seemed fresh. The presentation looks fantastic but the flavor was non existent. The worker was not personable hardly said 2 words to us. So many places here to get seafood. We had high hopes for this one and it was a dud.

FANTASTIC!!! I was very excited when I stumbled upon this establishment. On the day of, I wore my black Stetson hat, dark blue Wrangler jeans and finished my look with my Bonham Smooth Ostrich Tony Lama boots. I arrived on my black Arabian horses about 40 minutes before my reservation; I was very pleased that they seated me right away. I started my meal with the Crusty Crab; the crab was very flavorful, buttery and melted in my mouth… I thought to myself “whoaaaaa”. I was so very impressed and will be a life long customer. Thank you !!!!

Finally got to stop. Smelled like fish and not fresh fish so I don't recommend eating in. The prices compared to portions are good. The garlic flavor really good. Cajun just ok not enough spice/heat or flavor and we love Cajun. Ordered crab very good very fresh shell had hard snap. Crawfish with Cajun seasons over so not so great. Customer service negative 1 star. Guy acted like he didn't want to be there and didn't want us there. Could be a bad day?

First time stopping here, ordered the FB Special got charged full price :(Flavor is good, potatoes and corn were great, the blue crabs are a waste, zero meat to be had, the shrimp were amazing and the lobster tail was good, real butter would have been a bonus .

Sometimes I'd like to leave a review without a rating and if I could, this would be one of those times. The fried shrimp I ordered tastes like something I could've bought in the frozen food department of a grocery store......in my opinion. Others in my party eat there often and voiced no complaints. The restaurant was clean, the server was friendly, and the food was served quickly. The only negative that wasn't personal preference was that the soap dispenser in the men's washroom was empty. I had forgotten that when I started writing. I wish I never remembered that.

My family and I used to be a huge fan of this place until our last order. Spent $150 for blue crabs and they were so tiny but still charged for large, when I called the owner did not care did not even offer to make things right after being a repeat customer. It's sad because they lost a loyal customer and I know my family and I will never recommend them again.

Grew up in NFM, my folks live on the river.NFM has never been know to have very good places to eat and this little strip on 41 has always been a little sketchy. But times are changing!I visit often from Nashville TN and always enjoy a grouper sandwich when im here.Cowboy crab did not disappoint! I was very skeptical and worried a 15.00 sandwich would be terrible. Turns out its pretty darn good. The guy who took my order was nice and helpful. I placed an order for 2 grouper sandwiches, one with hush puppies and one with potatoes and corn on the cob. Everything was very good, $30.00 and it was enough food to save for later if you wanted.While the food is good id say its more of a take out place, there are tables inside though.Definitely worth a try and ill be back.

Bought blue crabs today. The nastiest crabs I have ever had. 1st...they weren't completely cooked. Actually translucent inside. Finished cooking them at home. 2nd.. Still couldn't eat them. They were mush. I have pictures and a video to prove it. Never again. Would give them a zero if I could.

Got blue crabs today. Not cooked completely, inside almost translucent. Inside mushy. Not edible. Throw them out. What a waste of money. Never again. Have pictures to prove it but no option to attach. Disgusting.

Nice place to get seafood. Hole in the wall place that you almost wouldn't even know it was there if you weren't paying attention. Get our blue crabs here all the time. Good prices on seafood also. May want to call in to place orders because they tend to get busy at various times of the day.

Super gross. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy and so is the staff. Still tried to give it a shot but they proved otherwise. Wait was a little long and there are dozens of house flies in dining area trying to compete for your food. Furniture all looks like they were found from curb alerts and cleanliness is not a priority. Hair in the food was the cherry on top. Would I recommend? That's a strong NO.
