The people that work there are not friendly act like they have a problem and don’t know too much about the menu besides certain things they need to be educated more about what they’re serving so just in case any questions come they can have some type of answer, been there with my kid other time with my friend not a good experience.

Terrible Quality!! We drive an hour and a half to have lunch here every few months and noticed our last visit that the food was terrible. Because we had great food a couple of times in the beginning we continued to come back hoping it was just a bad day for the kitchen. Yesterday's visit was the last straw, the food was without a doubt terrible. Nothing tasted good at all. We spent $216 plus the $33 tip leaving feeling like we just threw money away. We ordered the fried oysters for an appetizer- the batter was gooey, oysters clumped together and tasted as if it was super salty as if it was fried in old grease. Next we had Captain John's seafood platter which everything was fried and had the same salty/ old oil taste, not to mention the clams were still cold inside, scallops were soggy as ig it had been in a warmer. definitely not freshly fried. Crab cake was a waste, after one bite I refused to eat any more. The fish was also soggy. Needless to say not much was touched on my plate. My husband and grandson each had the shrimp and crab leg platter. The crab legs were mushy and COLD. The shrimp was mediocore with no flavor. Unacceptable for $50 a plate. I rarely ever leave reviews but this is horrible to serve food that seems as if you just ran to Sam's and threw it on a plate. Heck, I've made better seafood than that when purchased from Sam's. Don't waste your time or money. We tried to give them a couple of chances but apparently, it is what it is now. Terrible food.

Food was incredible. The establishment could use some work but the service was friendly and we didn’t have much negative to say! I would definitely go back for the food! I got the steamed shrimp, hush puppies and the broiled seafood platter. This had imperial crab, a crab cake, shrimp, scallops and I upgraded my fish to rockfish. Everything was cooked perfectly and I cleaned my plate! I’m going to have to suffer and go home to take a nap now because I’m stuffed, but it was worth It!

Bait and switch. Never believe their ads. They lied to me and got to drive an hour to get something they didn't have

This whole place is gross. I don’t even understand how it’s still opened. It’s completely dirty everywhere you look. The food is rotten. The bathrooms are filthy and stink. they keep food for over a week and serve it. The owner doesn’t care at all about any of this. Someone needs to call the health department immediately. We got sick after eating there.

Nothing to write home about and I don't eat crabs. Saladbar very small select items and prices didn't add up to quality. I was told crabs were ok.

The all you can eat crabs were great. The all you can eat price was really good. My fries were cold, so not really happy about that. The appetizer came out after we received our food. It would have been nice to receive it sooner. The waiter was very nice. There weren't many people there, so I was surprised when I had to ask for more to drink. The hush puppies were really good. Also, when I asked for garlic with my butter the waiter helped me out. Overall it was a good birthday experience. The sunset was fabulous.

Parking: There was plenty of parking. I didn't notice if there was handicapped parking.
