New owners now but it's good but not like it used to be. Pretty much much same menu.

We’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and always appreciated the warm atmosphere, great food, and consistent service. Unfortunately, my most recent visit confirmed that everything has changed—and not for the better.
When we walked in, there was no one at the counter, so we stood waiting with no greeting or acknowledgment. Strangely, someone then walked in behind us from outside and immediately asked if we were “ready to order,” which already made things feel disorganized and unprofessional.
As we looked around, it was obvious the restaurant had changed hands. There was suddenly an alcohol bar that was never there before, and the entire atmosphere felt nothing like the previous ownership. Still, we tried to give it a chance and placed our order.
We waited over 20 minutes for two simple plates, which should not take that long in an empty restaurant. During that wait, we attempted to use the restroom and were shocked—it was filthy, unkept, and clearly not being maintained. That alone was a huge red flag.
When our food finally arrived, the portions looked like child-sized plates, and for what we received along with three drinks, the total was more than $45. The value was absolutely not there. To make matters worse, the dining area itself was dirty—crumbs everywhere, tables not wiped down, and just an overall feeling of neglect and poor management.
At that point, we didn’t even bother finishing our food. We left disappointed, uncomfortable, and honestly a little sad to see a once-loved restaurant decline so dramatically.
The quality has completely changed under the new ownership, and the portions have become noticeably smaller. I will not be returning.

There was no tissue in Restroom.
Told they wrong lady she says it on the way. No extra napkins, no bottled water. Tables were dirty,flowers were dry and dieing. Plants need water.
The food was deep fried with too much better. We stated eat in and she placed in carry out boxes. Did not give us our drinks until she came out the bathroom.
Very little ice with the Tea.
I was visiting from Savannah. This restaurant was the WORSE.
The attendant sat down the entire time looking on her phone.

The seafood was frozen crawfish and frozen shrimp. It wasn't fresh seafood like i expected. Wasn't worth the 20 dollars I spent
This is a really good restaurant to eat from. The food is good every time I go.

We had the fried okera and crab boil. Our food was cooked to perfection 👌🏾 by Chef Ducky and Bre.
Recieved the most polite and professional cusomer service 🙏🏾 from ky. The atmosphere here was relaxing little store space located in a strip mall just off Rivers
Avenue. The price of the food was fair for the area. Our impression about this place, we recommend it and I know we'll be back again.

I went here on my lunch break to see what they were about and the wait went over my lunch break. I had to make an order on a tablet at their front counter and I had to buy a drink that wasn’t included with my meal. Employees uniforms do not look clean at all or professional. The rice was cooked well but the fried food was a little over done and the breading was tough. Honestly to my foodies out there, Overall experience for me was 4 out of 10 will not be returning. I could’ve just went to captain Ds.

I can’t say enough good things about The Seafood Pot! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every dish was seasoned just right, and you could truly taste the quality.
The service was just as impressive as the food—friendly, attentive, and quick without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers on all levels, but The Seafood Pot definitely does.
Whether you’re craving seafood classics or want to try something new, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back again and again. Highly recommended!
