Shaking Boils
Snow Crab Legs

Crawfish
A Louisiana favorite, crawfish are like miniature lobsters. Served live when in-season, crawfish tails are plump and soft like a pillow with a naturally neutral flavor that soaks up all the herbs and spices in our boil

Tender and slight chewiness, mussels typically have a mild taste that can take on the spices and herbs of our boil.

Clams

Just the tails, and make it two. Don't worry, we'll use the claw meat for our lobster rolls.

Fresh prawns and snow crab legs! Sauce had excellent texture with coarse,chopped garlic and spices... was a tad bitter tho... not sure why. Ordered the Shaking spice level but the sauce wasn't spicy.
Efficient and quick service!
Atmosphere wasn't as charming in the day.. looked messy. ( might have more charm in the night ? )

I had the mix bag with lobster, snow crab and shrimp (head on). Had butter and garlic with medium heat.

Not sure what people are complaining about the food not having taste. Seafood is supposed to taste like seafood. The boil gives it an additional boost but you should still taste the lobster etc.

Really well cooked, not overdone and appreciated the free fries. Service and extra strong margaritas made me happy.

When our food came it looked so good. My friend and I were excited. But sadly the food had no taste. It was bland. The only thing that tasted somewhat okay was the crab legs. However, it wasn't that great. The service was great and the staff was great.
