1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe...read full review
If you’re all for spice and flavors - this is the place to be at. Lobster 🦞 crabs 🦀 oysters 🦪 mussels clams were all pretty fresh and delicious. The experience of bibs and hand gloves 🧤 was exciting for kids 😅👏👏
