Traveling from NYC I checked the reviews in advance but decided to give them a chance anyway. I ordered half a pound of shrimp & crab legs with cajun & garlic butter boil. No exaggeration my food came out under a minute after I ordered, I was suspicious but optimistic. The sauce was decent the broccoli was hard, the shrimp was mushy, the one piece of corn was mushy. Fearing I will become sick if I continued to consume their food I attempted to dispute my concerns with the cook & manger. I questioned them about their 15% gratuity policy I feel like they push out crappy food due to their gratuity policy. So I tried to dispute the bill because I refused to eat their food, they didn’t care they still tried to force me to pay the full bill even after I offered to leave a tip to compensate the waiter’s time. Greed consumed them & they wanted me to pay the full bill after expressing my concerns. So I had to stand my ground, eventually they realized I wasn’t paying for the crap they served. I did give the teenager who was my waiter $10 for his time & I left. Don’t eat here period.

I ordered the crab with mussels and crawfish on the side. I did 1 pound of each which I should have done just half because it was enough for 2 people. I did not like they put whole potatoes in the broil, I felt like they needed only 2 potatoes cut into 4s which would have been good enough, it doesn’t come with eggs you’ll have to add them which is okay too, my total was $62.18 and for as much as I had I definitely will be purchasing again. Overall flavor was good, corn was good and I enjoyed it very much.

The whole time we were there, the service was terrible and we were treated rudely and rushed out of the restaurant (and told to wait OUTSIDE) in the dark as 4 young women. Black women, go somewhere else to get your crab legs sis. The food is good, but not worth the terrible customer service and glaring eyes. I rather catch the crab legs at the bottom of the sea myself!

My sister and I went out to lunch here on 4/29/25 around 11:39a. When we walked in, it was empty. Wasn’t sure if was the day of the week we went, or whatever the case may be.

The flavor was really good. Fresh garlic 🧄 (not a lot, how I like it.) All the seafood were pretty good sizes. The broccoli 🥦 was crunchy and not soggy. My only complaint about the food was that the shrimp was a little overcooked.

The other problem was the mandatory tip. 15%- some people like me, tip more but I didn’t due to it being included.

When we arrived it was empty. We both ordered seafood boils. The food came out warm and not hot. There were a total of 14 clams not open. I left the clams in the bag and ate everything else. When I told the young lady she took the bag and went to the back. I witnessed her an a verbal disagreement with a young man. She returned about 5 mins later with the clams telling me they have been opened. I explained I did not feel comfortable eating them and requested she throw them away. She was taken back by my refusal and request. They took no money off the bill and did not show any concerns about the warm and uncooked food. I will not be a returning customer.

This is a hole in the wall that serves good seafood. I walked in and was the only person dining in. The ambience was dark and sad. As I ate my food by myself, I watched a number of people come in for pick up orders. When I got the check, they charged me a 15% mandatory tip (which amounted to $10). I was the only person eating there and they charged me a mandatory tip! I see why no one dines in. The service was not worth $10. The guy took my order, brought me utensils, brought me my food, and had to clean up after me. I would not come back as fine in again. I guess there’s a reason why everyone takes it to go.

Yeah no. You charged 16 a lb for crawfish when I used to get it 8/lb. Blue crabs were $17/lb and they this big. Bye. Flavor and seasoning was horrible as well.

Refused service to me and my girlfriend an hour before closing time. Rudest excuse of a person looked at us and simply said “no”.

I went her a few months ago and it was cool. When I went it was during the day on a weekday so it was quiet. Only complaint was the sauce was salter then other seafood boils i’ve have BUT I would return and try them again maybe a different sauce.
