Food was a bit expensive and very bland. No flavor in the sauce whatsoever.

Horrible order! For 125 got crab feast. Was no shrimp one small snow crab and the smallest clams I have ever seen. Not nice!!

Ordered delivery so can't speak to service or atmosphere, but was honestly disappointed because of the lack of flavor. None of the seafood had any seasoning on it, I expected Old Bay because I ordered the Maryland style. That really ruined it for me, food was just bland and sitting in unseasoned water. Not sure if it was an off night or the delivery but not satisfied and wished it felt more authentic being on the coast.

We were very disappointed with our experience at PJ buckets. The lobster boil we ordered was overcooked and not seasoned ! Hard to enjoy your meal when it’s expensive and doesn’t taste good. We also weren’t served sides of butter with our meal, had to ask. Had to ask for plates and silverware, we were not given a bucket for our shells. Had to Ask for a beer bottle opener, twice. It was very hot dining inside, there should have been fans or open windows.

PJ was great, very kind and caring. I love what he's doing there...it's all from the heart. The seafood boils (Jersey and Maryland) were both amazing. The only real negative was the wait for our food, but they were working on an 8 family order. But we had no where to be and the people watching was good anyway. He also made up for our wait with complimentary clam chowder and some beverages. Classy guy 🫵

Great fish pot kind of place. Typical with picnic tables and plentiful food. Wish the clams were a little larger, but otherwise excellent!

Got the crab Mac n cheese for a holiday bbq and everyone loved it! Just delicious! They were running a bit behind on my pick up order (totally understandable on a holiday) and they were super nice to my husband even offering him some fresh baked cornbread to try while he waited. Wonderful food AND customer service.

I ordered through door dash the fish platter, potatoes and lobster bisque. That food was disgusting. I will not order from you ever again

All around scam. The boils are just a gallon of butter. Overpriced junk. Service is unproffesional and takes forever. Owners are out of touch cons. Don’t waste your money.
