The most disappointing seafood boil experience so far. All the food except for the Thai noodles were flavorless. One server charged me for a coke I never got. Charged us for king crab legs instead of snow crab legs. We know the difference. I asked for the spiciest sauce they had, I got Red colored butter. Then I asked for the spicyest Cajun sauce and got a thicker red flavorless butter. The place sure smelled like flavor but lacked table salt!

Went in last year for the first time and got the garlic noodles. They were surprisingly good as well as the strawberry lemonade. Service was very fast and friendly, would like to go back and try other items on the menu. My only downside was the overall cleanliness of the restaurant, maybe it was an off day for them.

Super reasonably priced and delicious seafood boils! My friends took me here to celebrate getting good grades this semester and it was fantastic!

The waiter was really nice but this food is trash. I only gave it a 1 star because it was the lowest option.

Honestly was the worst $300 dollars ever spent on some old and nasty crab legs that were hardest thing ever to open and meatless and dirty shrimp that was gross to even eat cause not cleaned and deviened! Came here during Trip to Chicago with wife and kids and we would never return and don't recommend. Red lobster woulda been a wiser choice, less expensive and more flavorful.

The service was great. The sauces were very well seasoned, but lacked some salt.

The seafood 🍤 boil is 10/10. It was so delicious 😋. The customer service was top notch. We ordered some headless shrimp, lobster 🦞 tails, corn 🌽 and potatoes 🥔. I recommend this place. We didn’t drive down but there were some parking spots.

Great little place to enjoy some good food, BYOB, family friendly, but no parking. Been there twice and will be back!

I wish I had a picture to show but my stomach took over when it came. It was so flavorful and came out really quick. I had the garlic noodles, a pound of king crab, pound of shrimp and a lobster tail with egg and potatoes with the special sauce extra spicy. With a peach strawberry lemonade tea or something which was so amazing and refreshing. They said it would be super spicy but it was fine for me. Again everything was very flavorful and cooked very well. Usually seafood places overcook certain things but all my stuff was perfect. My friend had the mussels, shrimp and clams and she said it was really good & the flavors were there. She ended up not being able to finish hers but I took it to go. The music was great. Our server JJ was great. We will be back. If you’re thinking about checking this place out you definitely should. Wish I had pictures but my big back took over. But they have visuals on TikTok.

was so excited to try this place after hearing so many good things about it. i decided to stop by on a weekday and street parking was easy to find. we were seated right away with no wait. the food wasn’t bad. the garlic noodles were so good, probably my favorite item that i tried. as for the boil, we got 3 seafoods: head on shrimp, crawfish, and green mussels. the flavor wasn’t bad, and i liked how they provided a bottle of lemon juice. the lemon juice really helped cut down some of the oiliness
