Worse seafood place we have ever been too. I order fried fish. Fish was not well cook very soggy. My husband order shrimp soup shrimp were frozen cold. My granddaughter order tacos arrived when everyone was finishing eating. Waitress kept making excuses. Worse part she took 25 off tip didn’t deserve it with her excuses and bill was 190. Horrible place advice do not go there not worse it

I’m honestly really disappointed with my experience here. I found a hair in my food, which is already unacceptable, but what made it worse was the complete lack of acknowledgment or apology from the staff. No one offered to replace the dish or even address the issue.

Our server only came back to refill my drink in the same cup…without saying anything about what had happened. On top of that, there was a child (I’m assuming the server’s kid) running around the restaurant, coming up to our table behind the booth seats, making faces, and even pretending to spit, which made the whole experience really uncomfortable.

Even after we paid and were leaving, there was still no apology from the server or a manager. I came because a friend recommended this place, but after this experience, I won’t be returning.

The service is so bad, I've seen how the waitress are talking behind the counter goofing off! And the food took so long to get here, and even to mention how one of the cooks forgot to make one of our orders! It look almost half an hour just for food. Once the food got here it was...RAW! And took so long to get the damn check

When we first arrived this place we thought it was going to be good but it's not when we sat down we order drinks and we had to wait for over 20 minutes just to get 1 drinks and when the rest of the drinks came we order our food and we waited over more than 1 hour just to get 2 instead of 3 and after the last food came back it was more than 2 hours just to get all of them and then the food was raw two of them were raw and the service was way to slow do NOT recommend this place if you want to take hours just to get food

Food was good. I ordered the combination plate. No sausage like the menu said and also 1 shrimp. It’s mainly chicken and fajitas. So don’t bother ordering the combination plate. Server was nice. The place was empty when I showed up. My wait time wasn’t long. My meal only took 5-7 mins to get to me. I gave 3 stars on the meal only cause I like shrimp and that’s what I really wanted. I ordered this combination before at other restaurants and there was always more than 1 shrimp on the plate. Other than that food was pretty tasty.

It was horrendous.. the music was so loud my family and I couldn’t bond or talk to each other what’s the whole point of going out to eat and bonding when u can’t even hear or talk.. and don’t get me started with the food.. it was solid the kids nuggets was dry and some were oily later my daughter threw it all up.. the service was slow and they were really disrespectful.

They have alright sea food thats why I gave a 2 star rating. I ordered a burger and it was so nasty full of mayo on both breads it fell apart in my hands as soggy as it was I had to scoop mayo off the bread it had big tomato wedges and the white part of the lettuce oh and the fries looked like they gave me the last of the fries at the bottom of the bag. I should have stuck with the shrimp or fish.

I’m from out of town and stopped here. I had the salmon w/ rice and vegetables. It was delicious, cooked perfectly and even came with its skin. Healthy option.
Good grubbin’ y’all.
