Stopped by for food one evening. It was really eerily quiet and quite grimy as my first impression. It felt like the place needed a good deep clean.
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.

Service is great! Make sure you count your add ons as some of ours were missing but they were really happy to rectify this. Staff are truly amazing. The garlic noodles are good too! Free drink refills too!

This is a good place to savour seafood, specifically crabs and different types of shellfish.
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.

Great customer service. The food was delicious. I love the cajun french fry. Garlic noodles were good. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. Thank you everyone for working very hard. I would definitely come back here.

They offer a vast variety of delicious food. I enjoy eating here. Staff members are always friendly, pricing is fair and the place is always kept clean. Eating here was an unusual experience and I would recommend visitors to know a few things before they enter. They serve cooked crab/lobster/etc in a plastic bag with all the gravy in it. They don’t serve spoons, forks or even plates. You need to be comfortable eating with your hand and its going to get very very messy.

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.

The portions are huge, which is great. On top of that, it was also tasty. Overall, a good value since we had to take home a large doggy bag.

Food:
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.

The food tasted great, and the experience was amazing. We ordered the Kickin’ Combo Deal #3, and it was a good amount of food for 4 people. The staff were very friendly. Make sure to try the michelada.

Delicious and messy fun! I hope they don’t cook shrimps in the plastic bags, only serve in them. The sauces are very tasty, 5 kinds with 4 levels of spiciness. The idea of sharing of 4-5 lb bag of seafood is also uniting and friendly way to spend time with your people.

This service was fast, the food was nasty. It had no flavor. All I could taste was garlic and butter. The butter was so thick, I felt my arteries getting clogged. The food here sucks. People should really taste their food here. Please see pictures.
