Currently at hospital. Shut it down! Chicken tenders for my 4 year old nephew slimy and undercooked. My boil bag not opened by an untrained Waiter. The chicken was reported to the bartender to avoid a scene from nearby customers I approached a young man eating behind the bar. Told him the issue asked to redo the order of Chicken and fries. Opened my own boil bag 2 lobster tails and 2 pounds of shrimp potato and corn. I dug into the veggies with the sauce that's amazing before encountering under cooked shrimp. Which I consumed the lobster tails!!! The smell the taste stuck to the shell odd color not cooked through also Contaminated due to the fact it was spoiled the fishy taste but the sauce with the amount of toxins has landed me to the ER and will land you in court. DO NOT GO your life could depend on it

The prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge. Delicious, absolutely the best food I've ever eaten, absolutely the best at this price! The staff are also very friendly and attentive.

So I ordered from them for the first time on April 2, 2022. I ordered crabcakes and Cajun fries and I also ordered the shrimp and fish platter with french fries. I also ordered a side of corn on the cob. The crabcakes were good, but they were extremely small. They were probably about the size of a little over a quarter dollar. The fish was severely undercooked. I called and spoke to a manager and she said she would look into it and call me back, but she never called back. I called back and she said I need to contact DoorDash because it's a third-party. Needless to say I'm sick today. I'm pretty sure I have food poisoning based on my G.I. symptoms. I've been in the bathroom today and I am extremely nauseous. Not going to get too graphic on here. Do not order fish from them. I'm disappointed in the food and the service.

Service and food terrible inattentive servers and undercooked fish. Stay away from this place.

This was really delicious. I thought the crab legs and the shrimp were the best thing in the crab boil. The mussels are a little large for my liking. However, the crab bisque is to DIE for. It is out of this world! Big enough to share with two people. Really great food!

Rude manager. We left before we were even seated. We won't be giving this place a second chance.

The food was amazing. But the service was a little terrible I went on Valentine's Day and I had to wait more than 44 minutes. The lady that sat us down sat another table and they were served first. I was very confused. But very good food

21 year tradition of taking my daughter for birthday dinner. Our usual place closed, she always wants crabs. Thought we'd try this one. I should have done a little homework, but that's on me. Food is tasty, but quickly cold. Service is good and quick whenever she shows up, even though we are the only table to which she is assigned. We're first ones in for dinner, trying to avoid pandemic crowds, are seated at a booth. Next group in is seated about 30 feet away. The reason for that was intimated to me later. Just about as we are getting our food, three groups arrive and they are all seated in immediately adjacent tables - not only adjacent to us, but adjacent to each other. This place has, at least, 60 yards of tables and everyone, during a pandemic, is seated in adjacent tables! I know, if I'm worried about this, don't go out to dinner. But there are 60 YARDS of tables. Even more disconcerting, after finishing dinner and walking to the back of the dining area to the restroom to wash my hands, I couldn't help noticing, of the eight tables in use at that time, the three closer to the front of the room were populated by white patrons and the five tables nearer the back of the room were populated by clearly unrelated and slightly distanced African-American patrons. There was no overlap. I don't know who's running the show there, but they have a young woman greeter seating groups in ways that confound logic or propriety. When I arrived home, I came to TripAdvisor to look for other crab options in the area and now have two better choices for next year.

My fiancé and I tried this place for the first time last night; we both love seafood so we were excited, but it wasn't as great as we'd hoped it would be. We walked in around 730 on a Saturday night and felt like we were walking into a club... the music was so loud you couldn't even hear the hostess. He told us about 20 minutes but we weren't seated for about 35, all the while the music was still blasting. We later found out they have a DJ from 7-10 on Saturdays... strange for a family restaurant. We both ordered from the create your own seafood boil portion of the menu, which did have a lot of selections. You can choose the sauce you want your boil in as well as how spicy you'd like. I chose garlic butter and my fiancé chose old bay for his. The food came out quickly and the service was prompt once we were seated. Unfortunately, the seafood was way over cooked; we could barley remove our crab legs from the shell and same with the shrimp. Mine was swimming in about an inch of garlic butter, which was more like a paste it was so thick and goopy. Again, still trying to enjoy our dinner with the music is blasting all around us. We quickly ate what we could and asked for our check from another server. Overall, we paid over $100 for overcooked, cheap, seafood. The servers and host were nice and apologetic for the long wait, and the food came out quick so that's why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. Other than that, if you plan on trying this place I would recommend coming maybe during the day for lunch or for an earlier dinner if you're interested so you can hear yourself think, but we will not be back!

Crab soup filled with shells, 15 doller Long Island with no alcohol in it and served in a bag!!! Mentioned the shells and didn’t eat the soup and all they offered was a discount. Crab fries with barely any crab in it didn’t eat that either and it was over loaded with mayo. Place is terrible don’t was your time or money
