Remember going here on Mother’s Day lunch with my family, and had a great time. Recently went out with a friend to grab some lunch and this restaurant was our first choice! Love their food, and their house sauce is amazing! Definitely would recommend adding a cup of rice or bread to complement the dish. This place can be a bit expensive for few, and their service is alright.

I actually don't eat seafood, but my kid does and he absolutely loved it. Would have licked the juice off the table too if we let him. The experience is exactly what he was looking for, eating off the table. The size is my photos include 1/2 lb of King Crab (most of the weight is in the shell), 1/2 lb of shrimp (about 6 or so), I corn on the cob (small and from frozen) and 1/4 lb of sausage, with non-spicy garlic butter sauce. And you know what, it is expensive. All that $70, no including tip 😮

It took a while to get noticed because we weren't sitting at the counter, there was 4 of us; however, once seated, the food was very good. I asked for my food to be separate because I don't eat seafood and they accomodated me and were very nice about it. My wife, nephew and niece, who did eat the seafood, were extremely happy with the meal, the variety of choices, the size of the crablegs, etc. This is a seafood boil restaurant, the food will be poured out onto a parchment paper lined table.

Amazing place if you love garlic and seafood. Be aware that even their most mild Cajun seasoning still has some heat, as it should. Worth every penny for a fun, delicious meal. House style hot is my favorite shrimp.
