We got broil bag with shrimp & crab legs and ordered corn and potatoes, and they only put 1 corn 1 potato. And on the flyer, it says 2 potatoes 2 corns. Won't be going back there. We had 2 broil bags disrespectfulParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes

The Woman/Man answering phones at 9:00pm Saturday night is so rude. I had a question and they hung up the phone immediately. I always order seafood bags and they give you the bare minimum amount of sauce if that.

The seafood was okay quality. Sauce was delicious. Definitely get the broccoli - they put it in with the seafood and it soaks up the sauce, so good. I'd skip the garlic noodles next time. They're a little boring and the portion was far too small for $6.I spent over $80 to get this delivered, including tip, so I feel like I shouldn't have been able to finish it all in one go by myself. Increasing the portions of the cheap parts (potato, corn, noodles) could really help with customer satisfaction.

This restaurant is an absolute delight for seafood aficionados! The oysters are exceptional, a must-try for any visitor. I also enjoyed their corn in the cup and the classic fish and chips, both prepared to perfection. The menu boasts a wide variety of seafood options, catering to all tastes. What's impressive is their swift service; you won't be left waiting. The food quality and taste are top-notch, making every dish a memorable experience. The ambiance of the place adds to the overall enjoyment. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious seafood in a pleasant setting. A real treat!

The food is very good but when you generate the bill they make you give an exact tip, before you finish eating they take the bill and out of obligation you have to give 17% or more, I consumed 140 and left 20 for tips and they called me from the door that had to be the minimum 17% due to their obligation.

Loved the garlic noodles. The shrimp and hush puppies were good.My favorite sauce to get with the broil bag is the (hot) shaking sauce. This time around I got either the cajun butter or lemon pepper and didn’t enjoy it as much.Good eats!

I came here before. And love the food here. But yesterday (10/23), I order the crawfish from this restaurant. After few hours, I got diarrhea and vomiting. It lasted until 4am. Today my stomach still hurts so bad. I don't know what they put in the crawfish that made me like that. Please check whether the food is fresh or not before serving to customers. I won't ever come back to this restaurant anymore! Never recommend it to anyone!!!!

My order was totally wrong, they don't pay attention. I ordered fried calamari basket with fries hush puppies. They gave me fried cat fish NO FRIES and hush puppies. Also a side a lemon pepper wings ( 8 pcs) were just plain no seasoning, bland! I don't think I will be going back.
