Reviews
Alejandro was our server for the evening. Very friendly and attentive, took very good care of us. We had the king crab and lobster boil for 4, had corn, sausage, potato and snow crab legs, garlic butter mellow spice. There was 3 of us so we had a grand feast. My suggestion is dont skimp and get something because it looks cheaper. Get exactly what you want, splurge if you have to. This was the best seafood boil we have ever had and it is definitely something my kids will remember for the rest of their life. Enjoy!
If you're looking for seafood boil, I would recommend this establishment. A few notes to share as we weren't aware of the happy hour special and happened to arrive just in time. I would highly recommend it. Food is very good, $1 oysters were very good and with the boil we enjoyed lobster, crab, shrimp and added mussles and hard boiled eggs. Definitely recommend both. Service was good as it was busy. Good atmosphere. Note: gratuity is auto added and not communicated, I ended up tipping extra, again I should have paid more attention but it seems a little shady. 4 out of 5 for the service and tipping. Very good otherwise and I would visit again
Ana was my server and she was great and attentive. After living in Louisiana for years now I was really hoping this place would be better but it was decent and I got my crawfish fix in before the season ends. I tried the Cajun crawfish boil with the side (corn & potatoes) it was okay. I ended up ordering the frozen strawberry margarita and it was good. I’ll have to try other items on their menu.
A pleasant experience in-terms of hospitality and service! However, the food upon delivery (15-20min wait) the sauce (specialty sauce) was very bland and more on the garlicky side. I’ve experienced many, many seafood boils in my tenure. The overall food was a little bland and didn’t really reel me in based off of past reviews. Would I recommend?Possibly, however there are other staples around the area that truly deliver!
Food good, literally everything was good, service was great drinks were sweet asfffff but they had no problem with making one over and the next one they made to my liking, that’s a plus…. Heads up, they automatically charge 20% gratuity.
