I tried it for the first time a few months ago and recently came back again! Although I'm not into seafood like that but i'll definitely eat shrimp/fish so I gave it a chance here :). * 1lb of shrimp with sausage with The Whole Sha-Bang Sauce and mild 10/10! But the sausage itself was a 8/10 because I personally think it was a little too salty but it might be someone else's preference * Cajun fries 10/10! Super crispy and fresh * Steamed rice 10/10 Idk why but I loveddd the rice especially if added sauce it's sooo bomb!! * 1lb of Shrimp with boiled eggs, The Whole Sha-Bang Sauce spicy 10/10 2nd time: * 1lb of Shrimp with corn with The Whole Sha-Bang sauce 10/10 the corn was so sweet!! * Crabby Fries 10/10 * Fried Oysters 8/10 I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're into seafood boil! Despite it being really full (wait times can be up to one hour), the service was excellent and we got our food pretty quick! The place has such family/friend/date friendly ambiance and everyone seems to be having a good time. It's such a vibe! Will definitely be coming back multiple times!

FYI, I just caught this...i tip on the sub total excluding the tax. 15% of sub total of $65.70 is $9.86. 18% of $65.70 is $11.83 20% of $65.70 is $13.14 It's off by some cents, no biggie. Now then the waiter uses the credit card machine, he /she has to punch in the full amount on the machine cuz that is all it knows...the machine will ask you how much to tip...I press 15%...now see small receipt. $10.78 is the new tip amount. No biggie to me, these employee deserve the tip but in a correct way. The managers need to correct this issue.

Another delicacy that requires a plastic apron and good hand hygiene for a finger-licking sumptous tasteful delight! For those who are used to spoons, knives, and forks, this is out of norm experience design for tactile and savory gastronomic journey.

Boiling Crab is a 5 star experience every time! Whether you dine in or get take out, the flavor and quality is always amazing. Great flavors and great service!

Boiling crab is a very hands on and fun experience to enjoy with friends and family. We ordered all of this food + cajun fries (not pictured) for six people. We did order seconds of the wings because they were very good. But I highly recommend the king crab legs and shrimp!

The food is always good whenever I eat here! My go to order is getting the 1lb shrimp with the whole shabang sauce. I love getting the medium spice for an extra kick to the meal. We also tried their fried soft shell crab and it was delicious! This time we came around 8:30pm on a Saturday and it was packed! We waited about 30min for a table. Service was fairly quick after we ordered.
