Reviews
Service was ok but we had commented on how slow things were considering there were not many patrons.
The day we visited they did not have snow crab which we’d wanted but since we were there, we opted to had Dungeness crab.
My daughter did not like the crab; it was not as good as she hoped. The sauce was good.
The fries we had were very good.
Restroom was pretty grimy.
Overall, just a very average place to eat, nothing that would make me want to return.
The ambience is warm and appropriate for the cuisine and the interior sitting space is big enough to accommodate a fair amount of diners.
We ordered two types of crab leg preparations, a clam dish and fish fry. All items were good in taste and freshness though I must say that the size of the crab legs has become much smaller and less fleshier since our last visit.
Despite being busy, the staff did an excellent job making sure that we had everything needed to feast! Along with the appetizers, we ordered the kickin combo deal #1. For a family of four, all of this food was more than enough; we underestimated how much food was going to be in the seafood bag. Overall, the food is a little on the saltier side. We loved how thinly sliced the fries were, making them extra crispy. Calamari was excellent; they were crunchy and tasty. We wished we substituted the garlic noodles for another order of calamari! The garlic noodles became overbearing after the first bite; I wouldn’t recommend it. We would come here again.
We got shrimp and crawfish with a medium kickin’ style sauce. We’ve always liked it but this time the sauce seems to be much more lemon-y but still delicious.
Service:
It felt a little odd that there was a sign to wait to be seated but no one actually approached us for a while even though there were a lot of employees and only about 8 small groups of customers there. And when they greeted us, it was to tell us to go find a table. I guess the sign was pointless.
They took a long time to take our order and never came back to refill our drinks or even just to check in with us. The staff were busy standing around by the register talking amongst themselves.
