The food was good and I went an hour before closing . The quality of food was still holding up! The service was really good down to the last customer, which made me want to come back.

I went here with a friend a couple weeks ago because it’s in my neighborhood, and I wanted to give it a second try after having poor service the first time I went there after the ownership change. Unfortunately, the service was worse this second time, and there was no excuse because the place wasn’t full. No one greeted us at the door. We eventually picked our own table. No one came to take our drink order for almost 20 minutes, and no one came by periodically to see if we wanted anything else. The worst part was that 4-5 servers were huddled together at the end of the bar most of the time we were there, just chatting with each other and not tending to the tables. Not good.

Get a bloody. The crab fries and hushpuppies are ridiculous. The drinks are strong. Clean and friendly.

I was disappointed. Food was mid at best. So it's all you can eat but for the table. Everyone at your table has to get AYCE and it's served family style.
I didn't take pictures, but they put the seasoning on the top or on the side, not cooked in. Crab legs were anorexic and cold when served. I would not go back.

I came here to try the endless seafood and tapped out so early 😂 everything I had was delicious though! Im so glad I ignored the negative reviews and still gave this place a try!

I went during happy hour time with a friend. They have a great happy hour as well!

For our selections, we had the crab balls, catfish, and wings. We also did a regular boil. Mine had crawfish, crab legs, headless shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and ramen. For the sauce I did everything but the lemon pepper one.

This was my first time adding noodles and it will not be the last. Everything was delicious, but I did feel like the butter taste was too prevalent so I will switch it up next time. The sausage also isnt the best, but I may get it again just to be sure lol. The wings and catfish were SO good. The crab balls are full of crab and minimal filler.

Definitely recommend this place for seafood lovers or someone who just likes a good happy hour with fun bar tenders!

This is my second time coming here for dinner and it was amazing. I ordered the 1/2 lbs. King Crab, 1/2 lbs. whole shrimp, and lobster tail boil with garlic butter/lemon pepper mix mild sauce. The service was good and very attentive. I'm definitely coming back for another round. :)

I rated this establishment four stars primarily because the buffalo wings didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of selection (mid, mild, and hot). However, I must commend the overall service, which was attentive and friendly, contributing positively to the dining experience. The food itself was quite enjoyable, showcasing a range of delicious flavors that left me satisfied.

Service was outstanding! Can’t beat the $6 cocktails - food was good with “shack” vibe in presentation. Atmosphere seemed a bit confused - sports bar? Restaurant? Seafood?
