I have loved this place for a while and I was so grateful that could be a part of my graduation party! I ordered 5 pans and by the end of the night they were all gone. Everyone loved it.
I got the lobster mac and cheese. There was no lobster. Just imitation crab on top. Not mixed in but the mac and cheese was good I just recommend getting the other options not the crab.
