The shrimps we ordered was supposed to be mild at 4 out 10, it was extremely spicy. My stomach hurts sometimes later. The soft shell crab was horrible it was mushy but the oysters were pretty good.

I remember back in the day just to get in Boiling Crab could take an hour. We waited 20 minutes and it was great. Customer Service was great and our waitress Karla was amazing! It was my boys first time and she was great with explaining everything to them. Food came on out in a timely manner. The only thing I wished if we could get bigger tables since there is so much food lol. The seasoning was on point and the shrimp and lobster was so tender and sweet. The king and snow crab was great too. The muscles was delicious but a little sandy. The fried catfish was so good. This was a great place for my sons 14th birthday!

The food was really good and the crab legs were meaty. I thought it was weird that Every.
One at the table ordered snow crab legs.But all the food was delivered at really different times. One of our orders was missing the sausage. They took the crab legs back instead of bringing the sausage.
The food was very good and the service was friendly and they explained everything.
The hand washing station is a great idea.
Pro tip bring a pair of scissors.

Good food. Unique concept of serving and eating food. They place a butter paper on the table and serve food in bags with no plates. One puts their entrée directly on to the table. The shells from the meat are kept on be kept on the table. You eat with hands and to avoid the food splash on your clothes, they provide bibs.
A place good for family and very close friends. I would not go out with others cause of the extreme informal atmosphere and unique eating concept.
This place is packed and has 40-60 mins of wait time – so yes, they are doing something right to attract this crowd.
I would rate good 4/5.

This place is busy and has long queue even on a weekday night. Went without a reservation ( they dun take reservation call but you can Q in advance using the Yelp app) and was made to wait for 30 minutes.
The food was served in a bag with the spices and sauce all in one. The sausages and potatoes are all thrown inside. The sauce is kind of high in sodium ( be prepared to drink tons of water later) but addictive. However, because everything has the same sauce, you probably will hit diminishing returns in no time.
Therefore, I will rec a mix of other stuff that are not served in the bag, such as lemon chicken wings, fries etc drinks come free flow and you probably will need it to wash down the food.
Service is good and the staff are very friendly.
A nice experience eating without the worry of leaving a mess in the end!

We visited for the first time and their registers were down, so they could only accept cash payments, making it a bit difficult to really enjoy the visit due to having to count as we ordered. The food was hot and delicious, very garlicky (which I loved). The portions were adequate. Staff was on point and friendly. Over all we enjoyed ourselves.
