Love this place already! Came here for the first time with a group of four, and as big seafood fans who usually find other spots kind of bland, this was a game changer. The seasonings and sauces are seriously next level.
We tried the Whole Sha-Bang (mix of all three seasonings) and it was hands down the best choice. The Dungeness crab and lobster were both amazing – super fresh and packed with flavor. The Sha-Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and crispy (plus it comes with fries, which was a nice surprise). Even the Mussels were really flavorful.
Service was friendly and fast, and while the ambiance is just okay, the food more than makes up for it. Definitely coming back!

This place was good. Nate got the boil and there was a lot of food. Me and Amy got the fish and there was plenty of food for both of us and lunch tomorrow. The place has a cool vibes. We will be back.

Love the food from here, a little overpriced sometimes (depending on the season) but great atmosphere, great food and ok prices. We’ve only been to a few seafood spots in Texas but this one is pretty good, definitely recommend to others since we always find ourselves comparing other seafood places to this one and this one always wins. Good for celebrations. We ordered Mussels, headless shrimp & extra corn/potatoes.

Really impressed with everything here! Food is so flavorful, fresh, and just flat out good! The service was just an add on. Not to diminish the level of service we received. The whole vibe was laxed and chill. Everyone from the cooks to the servers to the other customers was just happy. The food be letting you know!!! Make sure to come try the whole sha- bang!!

Can’t really comment on the service nor the food… we left like in the first 10 minutes of our visit. Don’t get me wrong, this place has its audience but it wasn’t for me or my party. Not speaking for the others in my party, this is a “me” thing… (but it was a mutual agreement for us to leave and go somewhere else). But upon me ordering i found out that there isn’t any substitutions and/or and upgrades/charges.. ie; I was interested in the catfish and the shrimp.. and I asked did they had a platter with both or is there some kind of way I could have half of each as a meal (or something along those lines) I was told no, each meal was separate. Which didn’t bother me at that point. So I had to make a decision on either or, fine.. so I chose the catfish basket. Then I asked instead of the French fires could I get sweet potato fries or onion rings (which are all sides on the menu) once again I was told no and that I had to purchase each side separately. So after I did the math in my head, I was going to have unnecessary amounts of food just to create my desired platter. And it was issues with the others in my party aswell. So we all decided if we was going to spend $50+ a person at a 2~3 star restaurant.. may as well go somewhere extremely nice. BTW, this was a birthday outing. So we packed up and went to Pappadeaux around the corner and got all of the accommodations, service, and the atmosphere we was looking for with the appropriate pricing. Not saying the service was bad here, we just never had the chance to experience it. Plus the drinks menu is extremely limited! Besides the typical coner store beers, I think they offer like 3 types of mixed drinks. And i can almost bet, they’re not strong/worth their weight in gold (just a guess from me visiting almost every restaurant in the DFW area and that I must have a stiff one lol) as a person that has being doing reviews for around 4 years now. Just know i hardly leave any negative reviews. Im not the type to find dirt in a snow storm. So “no” im not picking on this establishment. But something has to be done to keep ready to pay customers from walking out and going elsewhere. You guys have the power to do that. This is an easy fix…

Very happy with my experience. Did have a little wait on arrival and wait for a table but it wasn’t too bad. Food and service was amazing. Will return again

One of the best place I ever had, the fries are amazing the crab, shrimp and mussels are given in a bag with unique sauce with taste garlic and spices. The corn on the cob is the best. I love this place and been here for more than 3 time. You can also ask them as per your spicy level. Always be there early if not the wait would be 35 – 45 minutes.

The prices are insane these days. We had the snow crab @ $44 a cluster, not even Perry’s or Nick and Sam’s would charge that, mussels, shrimp and lemon pepper wings. The food was good but overpriced. The service was great and the wait wasn’t long. It seems that since they’ve moved to the new bigger location the prices have gone up.

Excellent service and amazing food! Will definitely recommend this place to others! Hubby and I had our anniversary dinner here and really enjoyed it. We were glad we ended up at this restaurant, the staff were so helpful and friendly. They explained the menu to us and were extremely helpful. Food was delivered to our table within minutes. Service is quicker than a fast food establishment. Keep up the great service and amazing food!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Deeply Disappointed , A Ruined Meal at One of My Former Favorites
I’ve always enjoyed dining at this restaurant, but my most recent experience completely changed that. I placed a pickup order and, upon arriving home, discovered that my snow crab was missing. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with the manager, who told me they didn’t see a bag with snow crab but offered to make it and let me know when it was ready for pickup. She asked if we wanted anything else “to make it right,” but we declined , we just wanted what we paid for.
Moments after hanging up, the manager called back asking us to bring back all the bags of food we had just picked up so she could “see how everything was packed,” insisting the crab should have been there. That request was completely unreasonable and unnecessary, at that point, our meal was already ruined. We reluctantly returned to the restaurant with the food, which was now cold, only to be met with attitude instead of an apology.
We received a full refund , and returned the bags of cold food. The experience left a terrible impression. Being asked to return with all our food for inspection, rather than being offered a sincere apology or a simple replacement, was absurd. What should have been an easy pickup dinner turned into a frustrating ordeal. Unfortunately, this experience has made me reconsider ever returning. This happened Saturday 10/11/2025 7:30pm.
