Avoid this place at all cost and just go somewhere else that does a real seafood boil!! This was only our second time visiting this establishment, and it will be our last. The very first time was ok, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt because they were newly opened. The seafood does not taste like the flavor they walk you through selecting. That’s the first issue. The second issue is that some of the seafood had a weird taste. We looked past it because the waitress was very apologetic and corrected things as she could. This last time, though….a mess. It was 6 of us for the all you can eat, and they brought out 1 platter with enough food to feed 12 people. We didn’t think much about it, but that was weird if the point was to be able to order multiple rounds of different things. We began eating and talking, and the food was tasteless again, so we ordered bowls of the sauce it was supposed to be in. Again, it was entirely too much food for 6, so the photo you see is what was left of the 1st order brought to us. We didn’t order anything else. 1 of my friends asked the waitress if she could take the food since this was the first order and we didn’t quite finish it. She was informed she would call the manager because she had been “getting in trouble for letting people take their food.” Cool. She returned and delivered the following message from the manager: “There is no take out of leftovers per the menu, and if that is a problem, we can get the police involved.” Did I mention this was our snd time at this establishment. The first time, we didn’t ask to take what was left from a party of 12, and they offered and brought is boxes after we had ordered several rounds of food. It makes you wonder if they are recycling the leftovers. Mind you, the photo of the place was taken at 8 pm on a Saturday night. It was empty in the restaurant.

I absolutely love the food here! My favorite are the flounder basket and hush puppies. The seasoning of seafood steam bags is perfect. “Fire” spice level is not too spicy and incorporates the perfect amount of garlic.

Despite visiting during a period when they were short staffed (meaning one server/bartender for the whole joint, and only two in the kitchen), the food and experience was really great.

This is not the place you want to come for a seafood boil. This was our second time here. The first time was meh, but the service was really good and they had just opened, so we gave them the benefit of the doubt. This time our group returned and we should have just left. First, they were out of some varieties of alcohol so our cocktail options were limited. Because of that, only two of the six of us ordered drinks. The portions of appetizers were bigger than the last time, so we figured cool, they are trying to improve. Our platter of seafood was enough to feed the 10 of us that came last time, it was entirely too much food, but we said we won’t complain. We ordered sauce on the side because again, the food wasn’t seasoned in the boil style we selected. We had snow crab legs, so we asked for crab crackers. The waitress went to get us some, but they didn’t have any, so the waitress brought us out butter knives. We then asked for metal forks to help us open the crabs. She want to check on those and guess what? They had metal butter knives, but not metal forks. Some of the seafood was cold, some was overcooked, but we couldn’t order anything else because we had way too much food and couldn’t get through our first platter. The first time we came, they let us take the remainder home, even though the menu says you have to pay $15 per pound for leftovers. We asked this time could we take the food and was told no. Mind you, we had the exact same waitress as last time and she remembered we could take the food home. We asked for the manager, and the same manager who was there our first time, who also remembered us, said she would call the owner and see what he says. She came back over and said the owner told her to tell us we would have to pay to take the food, or they would get the police involved. Very off-putting as the situation did not need to escalate to that. We just paid and left. Over the weekend, several of us endured some horrible stomach issues and bouts to the bathroom. Basically, we paid almost $500 for stomach aches. Now we know why the restaurant is always empty, even on a Saturday night, and we will not be giving them a third try.

This was almost 5stars but the misleading happy hour marketing needed updating (the business website and flyers/posters posted still up in restaurant) AND it could use more flavor. Was not giving urban in the taste department. But still everything was good. Good customer service, fried food taste good and drinks was delicious. I really do appreciate having this nice establishment with the events and atmosphere. Vibes

Went Sunday, December 12 2021 service was very slow. Took way too long for the food to come out. I was there with my husband. I order scallops and shrimp, I thought I was getting a shrimp broil. Well, that was not the case. First, my scallops came. Then 5 mins later my shrimp. No corn no potatoes or egg that I ask for nothing. Then 5 mins later my husband gets his shrimp basket. Then time goes by and his salad comes. The place wasn’t busy at all we did order a cheesecake and a chocolate cake. The food was good but they need to fix the menus I have no clue why they charge 27 dollars for scallops without getting anything but corn. I feel robbed. I want my money back my bill was 85 dollars and they have the nerve to add the tip automatically without asking or telling you they do it. They need to fix their menu because most of the menu you can no longer get like the19 scallops, they are not on the menu anymore.

I came here to celebrate my sisters birthday and we were told we could not be seated or could order or could not even get a glass of water because they were short and did not have a server. We were appalled by the service there was one server and she was working her tail off trying to do everything. There was hardly anybody here so we could not understand what the problem was. They were two tables of two /three people sitting and a party of about ten and one table with five people in the entire restaurant. We kept asking for a manager and it took him a half hour to get to us. I was grabbing my stuff to leave when the manager came over to handle the situation. I came to this establishment because my sister likes it other than that I will not be back. Someone needs to tell the owner without the customers you have no restaurant.

The cream of crab soup lacked flavor. However, the manager and server corrected the problem. Great customer service skills. I will give this place a second chance.

AB SO LUTE LY! Im from FL and have been in PA almost a year and havent found any really good seafood joints. Went to Bmore for a day outing and found this joint by accident was going somewhere else BUT let me tell you they are the gospel word TRUTH. You will not be disappointed. A bit pricey as we paid $150 for 2 adults just entree no apps or desert but food was HOT and good. And not slow.
