"When we arrived a tattooed young man asked if we had 4. I said yes and he walked away and didn’t ask us to follow him so I stayed there because I didn’t want to assume he was sitting us because there were 2 other tables. The older guy said you can sit down. We said oh, where? He pointed to where the young man walked to. They never said hello or welcome. We sat in our booth. Then young man was our server, and said drinks. Not a question but drinks. We saw the small drinks menu on the table. Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew and bottles of juice and bottle of water. They returned with cans of Pepsi! They serve cans! Not a fountain drink but cans. I got the Couple boil for me and my daughter which comes with fried calamari rings and my friend got the single boil. I also ordered fried soft shell crab and king crab.They brought one thing out at a time. First crab fried rice that came with the single boil had 1 piece of crab meat. 1! Just in a paper container and no additional plates or things to eat it out of. Then came the mozzarella sticks served with a thousand island dressing instead of marinara sauce. Then they brought my fried calamari rings (see picture). It shouldn’t be that dark but a golden brown. It looked overcooked as it was cooked in old oil. I asked if I could get another one because it was burnt/overcooked but the man in charge asked if I tasted it. I said yes and he said that’s how it’s supposed to look and they would Not recook my fried calamari. He literally said No. Then they brought out my fried crabs. Just as burnt as the fried calamari! Burnt food! Only good fried food was the mozzarella sticks and French fries. The seafood boil was ok. Not the best ever but not bad. That’s why the food gets 2 stars. Horrible service! Our server didn’t want to serve us. He didn’t have an inflection in his voice until it was close to the check. (Tip time)… too late for that. We asked for to go bags for our boils and he gave us a boil bag and a plastic grocery bag to bag up ourselves. The Angry Crab would never. They take it and bag it up for you. Right after our to go bags were given he immediately sets our checks on the table which was so awkward and I realize now it because he didn’t say anything. He just sat them down. No thank you for coming or anything. Just sat them down and walked away. I look at my check and notice the king crab was $89.99 more than my $81 couple boil. I asked my server why didn’t you tell me this was the cost of 1 king crab leg? He said I should’ve told you I’m sorry. I’m used to seafood places listing their changing market prices for seafood. It’s usually posted somewhere in the restaurant. I asked the man in charge and he said the customer usually asks. I said it’s usually posted! If it’s that much it should’ve been mentioned. He didn’t care and said sorry. He gave me beauty supply store owner vibes. Didn’t care and just looked at me like oh well."

The trifecta sauce or whatever it is was one of the best flavors I've ever tasted in my life. Crawfish wasn't worth the hassle. the shrimp was huge. Pricey. I wouldn't go here often unfortunately.

The trifecta sauce was one of the best flavors I’ve ever experienced. The crawfish, however, wasn’t worth the effort, though the shrimp was massive. It’s a bit pricey, so I wouldn't visit here frequently.

Ive been here a few times and the food is good. My only problem is that they do a bad job cleaning the shrimp. There is always a vein and its quite unappealing. I would avoid the shrimp if possible. I really hope they do a better job cleaning their shrimp

I've cooked better seafood at home. The sauce was overly thick, lacking in butter, and way too spicy to enjoy. The lobster was served with the mud vein still inside, and the crab had a somewhat bitter taste. Overall, it was quite disappointing! Food rating: 1/5. View menu

The staff was really nice but I’m sure about the food. It was good for what it was however I’ve had better at home. Went on a date here and my date liked it. I’m not a fan of the sauce. I ordered lemon pepper and it did not taste like lemon pepper. It had a sweet taste to it. Also, they do not serve marinara sauce with the mozzarella sticks. I ordered a crab fried rice, and there was barely any crab in it, but it was a nice place a good five and the staff was very welcoming

We went here for my husband's birthday and we had a great time! The food was amazing and the sauces were spot on, we did the trifecta! One thing to note is this restaurant is Byob, if you want to drink you can bring you own drinks and if you forget there is a gas station down the block. We did the crab and grab (which is for 2 people) we both ate our fill and brought some leftovers home. If you like seafood and are looking for a unique experience, I would recommend giving this place a shot and ignoring some of those other reviews!

What a let down. We were super excited to come here and get some tasty seafood. The place was empty since we came a little early for dinner, and we figured we’d get great, attentive service. Not the case. The young server hardly cared, or at least didn’t appear to care. If this is a family business, get it together, guys.The food was also disappointing — either very bland or very spicy. The shrimp was not deveined, but I suppose that’s a matter of preference. But my son and I both got sick later after eating the seafood boils. Bad stomachs!!!! My wife’s cod sandwich was very dry and small portioned. My daughter barely touched her food.For what we got, overly priced. Immediately after, we too... View menu

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant! The food was overpriced and lacked flavor; the garlic seasoning was nearly salt-free. The crab tasted frozen, and it seemed freezer burnt, resulting in a stringy and bland texture. Everything came as an extra charge—potatoes, corn, sausage, and bread. I've enjoyed many seafood boil meals before, but this one was by far the worst. The calamari was overcooked, and some pieces tasted spoiled or freezer burnt. I ended up spending over $100 for two boil bags (one with snow crab and the other with shrimp), two orders of calamari, one order of biscuits, and added corn (only half a piece per bag), potatoes, and sausage, and it was barely edible. I reco...

Waiter had the personality of a bagel. They were out of King Crab at 4:30 pm on a friday. The waiter could also care less when our party of 4 all sighed after telling us. He just stared. We drove 45 minutes after calling about a reservation just an hr earlier. I wish they’d mentioned that. The place was completely dead when we arrived so it’s not surprising we didn’t need one. One couple was inside. No music. Uncomfortably silent. They did agree to byob since they do not sell alcohol. Food was good, not really authentic cajun tasting. I didn’t enjoy digging through tiny snow crab legs. While they have crackers-They do not have knives of any kind which was odd. One single metal butterknife wa...
