Angie and the team was absolutely amazing. What an experience I had today. From the greeting at entry to the lesson I received on how to correctly eat my crab. Angie also put us on the the garlic sauce which was delicious 😋

I’d been wanting something spicy and carb-heavy for a long time, and this place absolutely hit the spot. Great for sharing, with spice levels to suit everyone. We tried the snow crab legs, shrimp po’ boy, and lobster rolls — the lobster rolls were the crowd favourite!
It is on the pricier side, but totally worth it for the quality and flavour. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Amazing experience for my first time with many to come. I had the TBC special with sausage, mussels, corn and shrimp that was to die for! Plus, the fried catfish and the lemon pepper fries were unreal. Cannot wait to go back again!

The cajun fries (medium spicy) were amazing. Shrimp and lobster were fresh and tasty too. Do note that they don’t come with any sides so you gotta order your corn on the cob and potatoes as extras (which were also tasty after being marinated in the Cajun sauce).
The staffs were all nice and attentive. It would be better if the soda wasn’t flat. Would also be better if a bucket could be offered at the table for the shells, so that the sauce doesn’t float everywhere.

A fun experience. I would recommend the crab legs and the shrimp if it’s your first time. Definitely ask for all of the seasonings.

Delicious! I consider it one of the best places to eat in Cambridge — a unique and fun experience from start to finish. The food was amazing; I tried the crawfish, snow crab, and shrimp with the signature seasoning that combines all three flavors. An absolute flavor explosion. 10/10!
