"This restaurant offers excellent seafood at reasonable prices. You can view the menu via a QR code, and I've included a photo for more options. Just a heads up that prices might vary based on weight and market value. The service was friendly, although I had to get up to pay for my meal after a bit of waiting. Aside from that, I have no complaints. The lobster was slightly overcooked but still tasted great. They typically charge for 1.5 pounds, even if you order just 1 pound, depending on the lobster's size. I'm a bit confused by the crawfish since they weigh quite a bit, but you only eat the tail. You'll need to peel the shrimp by hand, but they’re delicious. If you’d rather not use your hands or teeth, tools are available for cracking crab legs and claws. They have soju on the menu, but no Asian beers. There are plenty of screens for sports events. Unfortunately, they don’t accept Apple Pay, but credit cards are welcome. The bathroom floor was quite wet and messy, but they do offer parking validation."

The shrimp was tasty but slightly overcooked. The service was excellent.

The live crawfish were huge! Cooked perfectly. I’m from Louisiana so don’t love the sauce on the outside, but it was delicious. Good fixins (corn, potatoes, sausage). Great place to dine in, but get there early! View menu

The food and service at this restaurant were exceptional! The seafood was fresh, and the service was timely and attentive. I highly recommend this place. We visited for a birthday celebration, and we plan to return on a regular day very soon. If you enjoy seafood, you should definitely check this place out!

The food here is incredible, and it's my kids' favorite restaurant. We were assisted by a young woman named Anna, who provided exceptional service. As we were leaving, I made sure to tell the staff at the front to let her manager know how great she was. With delicious food and excellent service, what more could you ask for?

The shrimp here is simply outstanding—it's a true showcase of flavor served in a bag! The garlic butter shrimp is a must-try, and the gumbo with rice is delicious as well. Make sure to bring your own bread for dipping in the sauce—it's essential! And don’t forget to wear a bib; it's going to get messy, so avoid wearing white! View menu

The corn on the cob was overcooked, but overall, our server was fantastic. They don't take reservations—only walk-ins—and you won't be seated until your entire party is present. There is garage parking available, and they validate, but finding a spot can be challenging on the weekends. If you're in the mood for dessert, be sure to check out HoneyMe as you leave.

However, when I got home, I found the food to be less seasoned than I prefer, and the shrimp was not very juicy. The crab legs were large, which I liked, but the flavor didn't quite hit the mark for me. I ended up spending around $216. At this point, I feel like these restaurants are just taking my money and serving mediocre food. To enhance the meal, I added some noodles for extra flavor, along with an egg and, of course, some lemon.

"Our first visit to the restaurant last night came highly recommended, thanks to a friend's glowing review of their vegan menu. We were pretty excited and ordered two vegan meatball subs. The trouble began when we waited for nearly 25 minutes after placing our order. Our server, a guy named Ryan (I think), came over and told us they were all out of vegan meatballs. Naturally, we asked why it took so long for them to figure this out, which seemed to fluster poor Ryan a bit. However, he was polite throughout the conversation. We decided to switch our order to one regular meatball sub and a vegan eggplant sub, thinking all was well. But, surprise, surprise, Ryan returned a few minutes later to tell us they were also out of eggplant. At this point, we had been waiting for almost 40 minutes with no food in sight, so we asked for the check to pay for the soda my husband had been nursing. Here's why the whole experience left a sour taste in our mouths: 1. Why in the world didn't the waitstaff know about these shortages in advance? It seems like basic communication within the restaurant was seriously lacking. Customers shouldn't be left hanging, wondering if they'll actually get what they ordered. 2. It's kind of baffling that Ryan was left to break the bad news not just once, but twice. You'd think the manager, who we saw chatting with other diners just a few feet away, would have taken the initiative to come over and speak to us directly. 3. I was made to feel like I should be really grateful they decided not to charge us for the Diet Coke my husband drank. Overall it was a terrible experience and no effort was made to rectify what happened. I obviously cannot comment on the food since we never recieved any. As for customer service...HORRIBLE!"
