Disliking this location is an understatement. I honestly would rather drive to wake forest. The service here is always soooooo slow to the point where we had to grab our own drinks from the bar.. with only 2 other tables present in the whole restaurant. plenty of employees standing around though laughing at our server struggle. The manager was present thought sisnt seem to useful. they now have plenty of paper to cover the empty tables. And 15 less customers who won't be returning.

There is literally nobody in the restaurant but usIt took over 30 mins to get our drinks in general - I had to actually get up and grab everything from the bar myself and bring it to the table. One of the drinks was wrong - multiple people at the table tried it (we are a party of 12) it was wrong - then the bar staff just told us no it wasn’t and didn’t offer to remake it. So it was not drank.One of us ordered only a beer - a bottled beer - and it came out AFTER all the food and we had to also get up and go ask about it again for a second time - as I already got the mixed drinks/ . And then ask the waiter again before it was brought. One person ordered half a pound and was charged for a whole and then told she should’ve addressed it when it came to the table - we don’t have a scale I dont know how we are supposed to tell it’s a half pound. Over all not coming back.

Terrible service and sub-par food with a manager who doesn't care. Would definitely make the journey to the other location off wake forest. Especially when your spending the money you will be spending on a crab boil.

Having been in a long time due to the food I ordered was not good. The shrimp was tough like it was overly cooked, and the crab legs had no meat in it. So I stop going. I wanted to give you guys another try, so I ordered just 1 lbs of headless shrimps. Still overly cooked shrimps(tough) corn was so skinny, and it was under cooked. Here's a picture of how much I didn't eat, and I bought it Friday 3/15/24, and today is Sunday 3/17/24. Both times, my order was Take out. I am starting to believe you take out the worst food. There's no way dine in food is on the same level. Time my order was placed is around 2:40-2:50.

Extremely disappointing. Our waiter was amazing, however my Seafood boil tasted like NOTHING, literally. When I told the staff, they brought extra seasoning, which helped the shrimp but our crab legs had no taste at all. It’s like they were cooked in water alone. Management said the most they could do was take off 10%. I would have preferred a meal that tasted like something.

I really enjoyed coming here. A few things were off but it was Valentine's day. A great place for a date and to have a little fun. Server was very nice and helpful but might have been overwhelmed. Wasn't at the table much but when he did come by he got what was needed.

This place is subpar at best I was brought here to celebrate my birthday and I will not be coming back and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. I got a half pound of crabs legs which were fishy tasting and I also had green mussels which were over cooked and gave a appearance of chewing a rubber band.I did not ask them to remove my whole meal . I just asked them to do something about the crabs. I had only ate the two small legs off the crabs . Also my daughter’s fried shrimp basket made her stomach hurt really bad. They said they wouldn’t do anything about her food even though her basket still had over half the food left. This was one of the most disrespectful experiences that a veteran could ever experience.

Much of the food is fried, and I would've preferred Some broiled. I paid by cash, but there's only one person on each shift that is allowed to use the cash register
