4/5

Overall, this restaurant was quite good. It's a counter-service style establishment, so don't expect the same level of service you'd find at a place like Red Lobster. We ordered the snow crab, shrimp with sausage, corn, and potatoes in the medium triple threat sauce, along with some beer, wine, and the seafood toast (which I found wasn't worth the cost for its flavor). The food arrived at a reasonable pace, though the toast, served as a starter, came out after the seafood. The triple threat sauce was tasty, but there wasn't enough of it, so I had to request an extra side. The server was attentive and friendly. I also liked the idea of using scissors instead of a seafood cracker, although thi...

The food was delicious, and the service was good, but the dining experience was quite unusual. They don't provide any silverware at all, and there weren't nearly enough napkins for tackling messy crab legs. Instead of traditional crab crackers, they handed us what appeared to be scissors for cracking crabs, and they also provided gloves to wear while eating. However, there was no bucket, trash can, or bowl for disposing of the crab shells. Additionally, the shrimp still had their veins, skin, and legs attached, which meant I had to clean them myself. Overall, it felt extremely overpriced.

What a letdown. We started our evening at Red Lobster, but after an hour wait, I wish we had chosen differently. The main issues were with the food and the overall presentation. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly. However, using kitchen scissors as crab crackers felt quite tacky. Given the prices, they should really invest in proper crackers. Unfortunately, most of the food was overcooked, the sauces lacked flavor, and when my wine finally arrived, it was served in a plastic solo cup. Once again, quite tacky. They really need to get some proper wine glasses!

The temperature inside the restaurant made it uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. The shrimp and fish basket lacked flavor, as the fish was overly coated in cornmeal batter. Additionally, the portion sizes were quite small. Several family members ordered the same dish, and the pieces of fish varied greatly in size, ranging from small to medium, with none being large. I was particularly frustrated with how tiny my portion was. Lastly, we were disappointed to be served canned beverages instead of cups for easy refills, especially considering the cans cost over $2 each! Book a table now

So, first let me say the food was amazing! Two weird things: we had to order and pay at the counter like it was fast food and second, this place is all about crab boils,yet no picks, no bibs, no wet naps, no crackers for the legs. Still, we would go back because they were the best crab legs I've had in quite some time. We did just straight steam with nothing but butter(I'm a purist), but lots of boil seasonings were available. Note- it isn't cheap. But when you pay more you get better food!

So, what a disappointment. Went to red lobster first, hour wait, should have waited. It all came down to the food and some of the aesthetic... Staff was very nice. Kitchen scissors as crackers were, well... tacky. For the prices, you should be able toafford proper crackers. The food was mostly overcooked, the sauces were mostly unflavorful, and I was brought the wine Iordered in a plastic solo cup.... Back on tacky mode. Buy some wine glasses.

This is a delightful seafood boil restaurant! The service is fast and friendly, creating a lively atmosphere. The decor is fantastic as well. We ordered the combo with crab, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Although we requested lemon pepper seasoning, they accidentally brought us garlic instead, but we didn’t mind because it was absolutely delicious!

The food was absolutely delicious, with excellent seasonings. If you’re not a fan of spice, don’t worry—they offer options ranging from mild to extremely hot! The staff were very friendly, and I will definitely be returning for my seafood fix. I tried the lobster, clams, shrimp, and black mussels, and they were all fantastic! Book a table now

Being from Atlanta the food wasn’t seasoned for real at all. Then the sausages were uncooked and I even showed them. They still choose to not give me my my money back so I was forced to eat the food. Definitely wouldn’t recommend eat there if your used to REAL seafood style cooking.
