Upbeat music with the delectable smell coming from the kitchen paired with amazing service and awesome energy , charisma , and personality from our server John. I definitely recommend the shaken crab to any seafood lovers and anyone looking for a great place to take your significant other out for a great time

Went here for crab legs and shrimp boil. Place was kept clean and staff were nice. It was very quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Food came out really quick and was really good and flavorful. There is no parking, since its located on Thayer street, and you have to do a few loops for street parking.

Parking: You have to look for street parking.

Ordered the Jumbo tray Seafood Galore boil with Tom Yum Sauce (seasonal) + Medium spice. The seafood galore has crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, and clams. Comes with corn and potatoes.We got a decent amount of food. About ~20 shrimp, ~20 clams, and 2 crabs total. 2 half corn cobs and 6 potatoes. It’s advertised to feed 2-3 people, but if you have big appetites it’ll feed 2 at MOST.They were out of crawfish unfortunately, so I think they ended up charging us for the BYO seafood...
