Very nice dining room layout. Our food came out fast and the waitress was very nice. Their prices are comparable to other similar type restaurants and their portions were good. We got the Ocean sauce for our boil bag, which was good but seemed like more butter than anything. We decided to order the cajun for an appetizer, but it was just plain fried rice… not sure why they refer to it as cajun, other than to blend egg fried rice into the menu. I would visit again.

Some of the food was great, some…not so much. I didn’t bother photographing the raw oysters because they were pitiful. Very, very small oysters compared to others in the area. (I actually thought they resembled mussels) The taste, however was good. They get a plus for serving them with horseradish but they also need to offer cocktail sauce and crackers for some people. For the price of $18.99, the oysters need to be a bit larger.
The seafood boils were great! We got King crab and shrimp as well as Snow crab with crawfish and shrimp. They came with corn and potatoes but we don’t eat corn so we had that omitted. I think they are trying to save some money with the andouille sausage in the combo meal. I swear it tasted like turkey sausage. ( so maybe it’s good for the heart healthy customers) We ordered the Oceans mix flavoring with mild heat ( because I actually like tasting my seafood) and it was phenomenal.
As for the service, I’m really not sure how to rate it. We started out with one server who seemed to be good but she never offered her name. And then another server started coming to the table, she never offered her name either. I asked after our first server and was informed she went home. So for service I would give a 3 max. Cause if nothing else, they could have told us what was going on and who they were.
All in all it is a decent place. With a little tweaking, it could be great!!!
2 of us ate for $127 with appetizers (oysters) and 2 boils as well as 2 beers each. So the price is comparable to similar establishments.
One last gripe. The tiny plastic fork they offer you is ridiculous. I get plastic ware with COVID and all but come on. At least get plastic ware that will cut open the potatoes you serve.

I visited here one year ago, and was so unimpressed, I haven’t been back.
Despite the expectation of a crab boil in a bag, there wasn’t much flavor at all. The best part about my meal was the potatoes included.

Good variety of seafood dishes average prices compared to other seafood restaurants. Drinks are a little pricey but overall service was prompt friendly and the food was good.

Our first time here. The food was excellent. The price was very reasonable.
The meal was served in a plastic bag that was in an aluminum foil tray.
They gave us plastic gloves and bibs.
The Shrimp meal came with a red potato and a half ear of corn.
You had your choice of several sauces with it, or as both of us did, we got all sauces mixed together. You also had your choice of heat.
It was very tasty!
Service was good.
I opted for the sweet tea, which was way too sweet for my tastes.
Over all, this was an excellent meal. We will be back soon!
