The food was great, we loved the seasoning, top notch. The only reason we can’t give a 5 rating is due to the waiter not being more attentive. It got to a point where I had to get up and go find the waiter for another beer. Other than this one issue, everything else was great. Again, the food was superb.

Walked in and was given stank stares just to be turned away a WHOLE hour before they close because they do not seat people a whole hour before they close

This place was beyond disappointing. We ordered the snow crab and shrimp boil and when it arrived we noticed there were no crab legs. The waitress took forever to come back to us after she dropped it off and there was bearly any people at the restaurant. The corn was soggy and tasteless. The eggs were overcooked. The oysters were disgusting you could tell they had been sitting in the freezer for a while. The music was so loud we could bearly hear each other from across the table, it wasn’t even good music lol. Just please save your money and go somewhere else. Your stomach will thank you. We are currently going through it fighting for the restroom.

I’m writing this as I am sitting on the toilet. Avoid this place at all costs. My stomach is in shambles and it doesn’t deserve this. My wife and I got a crab and lobster boil and it was the most mid boil ever. I guess you can complain for the price but my god I’ll never step foot in a place like this again. Don’t even get me started on the music. It sounds like they were playing artists music that are trying to make it big. There was about 5 tables and it took a solid 10 minutes for our waiter to come to our table. And she definitely wasn’t the only waiter. Besides d list artists blasting in our ears and mid food. Our waiter was okay she wasn’t rude so I guess that’s a plus. But my stomach does not deserve this therefore I’ll give this a one star. AVOID AT ALL COST

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I could have gone to Safeway for better crab legs. Most of the crab leg shells were EMPTY, the clam shells EMPTY, corn on the cob soggy and over cooked. Literally best thing were hush puppies. The waitress was embarrassed to even serve us and agreed that portion and quality were unacceptable. The staff cared more about getting the music choice correct vs making sure guest were happy. I respectfully complained to the manager she had the nerve to bring 1 cluster and a 6 clams for a table of 4 adults all of which still had empty shells.
Don't waste your time finding parking or money eating here. I actually use to like this place but will not be returning or recommending.

I’m not sure how an establishment survives without a working store phone you can’t call you can’t do anything. Their phone number is unavailable.
The food was fantastic. I was just in my old neighborhood knocking around bored. Came across this spot and was in the mood to eat. Had a fantastic time on a whim. Definitely recommend it.

I love this place, the music is always a hit. I really wish that they closed later. The staff is wonderful especially Tiffany and TJ. The food is perfect, very well seasoned and the atmosphere is great.
