I order a pound of clams and they gave me a pound of crawfish instead. The Manager Dave is rude. I would not order from them again and I’d give them zero stars if I could

On a scale of 1-10 I give this place a 5. Dante was a good waiter and the crabs were decent but too oily. Upon arrival, the greeter didn’t “greet” us. No hello or anything, just looked at us with the “meh” face like we were interrupting her day, grabbed 2 menus, asked if we needed a drink menu, and started walking towards the tables. She took us to a booth with raggedy ripped up seats, sat the menus down and walked off. Dante came up immediately and I asked if we could switch to a different booth. The other one was “less raggedy” so we sat there. The appetizers came out after the crabs, so I had to wait to start eating because I didn’t want to eat my apps after the crabs. The food was hot and fresh, but the lemon pepper wings are salty enough to give you high blood pressure and the onion rings were seasoned…not in a good way either. I appreciated the crunchiness of them but the seasoned batter was a dub. They could’ve did without that. The boom boom sauce tasted like a combination of French dressing and nail polish, but made the onion rings taste better. They had decent background music playing for the first 20 minutes, then it cut off for the remainder of the time, so we ate in silence. The decor is typical crab place decor, but the lighting is too dark. Overall the energy of the place is low vibrational. The bill came to about $85 for 2 crab combos and 2 apps. Again, Dante was great, very attentive and didn’t appear agitated like the greeter girl. Atleast she looked up from her phone and told us to have a good night on our way out.

We had a horrible experience tonight. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated because there was no hostess at the stand. Once someone finally came and seated us, no one ever came to our table to take our order or even greet us. After waiting a while with no service at all, we decided to just leave and go to another restaurant. Unfortunately, we never even got to try the food. Very disappointing.

I don’t know which is worse, terrible service and good food or terrible food and fantastic service. In this instance, the food was good but I have not decided if it’s worth a return trip.
I recently had an injury that has me walking with a cane. So the hostess fast marches me towards the back of the restaurant, by-passing empty tables. Part of this was inexperience and the rest was just not paying attention. My companion did ask if I wanted to say something. I declined. This is a warning to those with mobility issues—the hostesses are not observant and the wheelchair ramp inside has a very prominent transition that is a tripping hazard on a forced march.
Let’s talk about food. It is a boil, but if that’s not your thing, you do have other options. We went with the pick 2 and pick 3. I went with fried oysters and catfish. My friend chose whiting, shrimp and chicken (as a back up in case she didn’t like the fish). We selected hush puppies for an appetizer.
The hush puppies were light, crispy and piping hot. They were served with a spicy dipping sauce and I never made up my mind if I liked them with or without the sauce. They didn’t need sauce. But if you like dipping things, go for the sauce.
My oysters were light and crunchy. Perfectly seasoned. The catfish was perfectly breaded, firm, and juicy. I sampled the whiting and liked it.
The tartar sauce was okay. My friend thought it was a little heavy on the pickle. I thought it needed salt and a squeeze of lemon. I would have added the salt, but there wasn’t any on the table.
They are SLOW. And the service is even slower. I don’t mind if the food is slow, as long as a server updates me on its progress. This was not the case. In fact, once the order was taken and the incidentals were out of the way, we didn’t see our server again until my friend went for an ETA on the hush puppies. Popping by the table just to reassure us the food was being prepared would have been nice.
We had to ask for drink refills when asking about the state of our order.
When we were ready to go, we asked for to go boxes. It took 10 minutes to get them.
They weren’t busy. It was a race weekend down at the speedway. By the time we left-a little after 3 pm- they started picking up.
The server had a great attitude and she was very nice. So no fault there. But her slowness and inability to follow up lacked. A lot.

Was a little nervous walking through the door wasn't really sure how it would be since it was my first time eating here and I'm not from Griffin just visiting and I can absolutely say this was the best seafood I have ever eaten before everything was fresh and hot 10/10 must come back ! Tyler was my waiter and he was so friendly and helpful I will be returning!

I had to wait about 30 minutes for my food as I sat directly in front of the employees who didn’t tell me my order had been messed up. I asked for the spicy tammi special and simply
got mild. Their eggs are also overcooked and crumbly. Overall the seafood is cooked well and has a nice flavor.
