The place was easily accessible and the owners were friendly. The have a very big variety and the tartar sauce is tasty. That's where the good ends. I came in today 7/15/25. At the time I was the ONLY customer. My food just wasn't good. It looked good but every single item was fried entirely too hard. We tried to FORCE ourselves to eat it to avoid wasting money but ultimately we just couldn't. The shrimp was fried so hard it was very chewy and rubbery. The coleslaw also wasn't good. It tasted sour. We spent $40+ for food we ended up throwing away. I'm very shocked that nothing was enjoyable based on the high reviews. If you like your food fried hard you will probably enjoy this place, for us it's a hard pass.

I'm not speaking for myself as I can no longer have seafood, but anytime our friends know we are going to Columbia, they ask want us to pick them up frog legs!

Came here for the first time today. Service was great, the food was some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. The price is very affordable. Also looks like a great fish market as well.
VERY NICE FOLKS taking care of each and every customer! You will be happy. . .whether you want to pick out fresh fish and seafood to take home to cook or choose from their very large menu of options that is prepared right in front of you! Best kept secret in Columbia! 🙂
