Food was as good as any other seafood boil place but could have been better. Went expecting the AYCE which I came to find out was only on Wednesdays, contrary to the IG reel that I came across. No mention of their AYCE option anywhere on the website or menu. The 20% mandatory service charge plus 3% credit card fee with tax. Basically 33% on top of your bill and still being encouraged to tip is ridiculous. It would be warranted if service was worth 20%, for the whole restaurant, 3 servers. Waited at least 20 minutes to be seated before even getting water. My $120 5 lb bucket costed $162 after service charge, tax, and credit card fee. I don’t normally drive out to Seattle due to the limited parking and suspicious activities that take place in that area, I would have been better off at my local seafood boil place 10 minutes down the street. The seasoning of choice (queens) was a bit weird, more sweet and sour than Cajun flavored, though I admit that I chose that seasoning so it was on me. Was nice that it came with veggies, and it didn’t seem the veggies were part of the 5lb seafood so food was good, I just disagree with the price and lack of transparency.

Wife just left, waited to be seated was given water with a bug in it (it happens) so they replaced it, with a new one, with a bug in it. Then informed them theres an added 20% for dine in, and an extra 3% for card. Nope, hard pass which is too bad because when we ate there during the food walk, it was one of our favorites.

Food was awesome! We got there as soon as he unlocked the doors. Immediately good service. Although we were the only ones in there, the music was on and it was nice and chill, good vibe. Price was as expected with a huge pile of delicious, steamy seafood!(get the house sauce) I would highly recommend this place for seafood lovers. Especially if you're not afraid to get a little dirty lol. Great Job guys!

Been eating here for many years now and their food is already great, customer service is always great. Today we went to eat for my moms birthday and Liz surprised all of us, played the happy birthday song and brought my mom free dessert with a candle for her to blow out and no one at the table said it was her birthday, it had shown on my moms rewards and we completely forgot about it. We really appreciated this gesture and we will always be coming back. Thank you.

The service was slow and unsatisfactory, and overall improvement is needed. I had to wait around 25 minutes before my order was taken. The rice was undercooked, and when I informed the staff, their proposed solution was simply to remove the rice from the plate. I requested that it be properly cooked or replaced with a well-cooked option, but I was informed that no other rice was available. A mandatory 20% service charge was also added, which is unjustified given the level of service provided. it appeared that only one employee was handling all responsibilities — including serving, cleaning, billing, and supervising the bar — which clearly affected the overall dining experience.

This place used to have such a good crawfish etouffee but things have gone downhill badly. As you can see it was nothing like the photo the owner listed on doordash. It didn’t have any sauce on it just onions and maybe some watered down broth. Disgusting waste of money I wish I ordered from somewhere else. The crab cakes tasted like a weird mixed fish paste also. Definitely don’t doordash from here.

I ordered through DoorDash, this is the worst restaurant ever, they delivered me expired shrimp!! Very over cooked and smell so bad!! They ruined my day with that food experience! If you eat sea food, you will understand what that black color over the shrimp means! This is at least 5-6 days ago expired!!! I throw the whole food in the trash!!
