Ordered the Tuesday special, extra hot, juicy special sauce. It was not very spicy, I was hoping for their hottest to be at least 3x hotter than it was. The flavor was good, chunks of garlic are always wonderful. But it did not burst with flavor or heat. The sauce could have been thicker and more packed with seasoning. It was more oily than it was seasoned. The crab and shrimp were good. The crawfish were not great, they were not very fresh and I tossed 2 of them. Potatoes were good, but corn was deflated. This was in March, so consider the time of year I guessService was excellent. Our food came out quickly. The restaurant itself was clean. The gloves they provide are a better quality than every other Cajun seafood boil I’ve been to. I usually bring my own gloves but was unprepared this day, so I’m glad their gloves were good. I still broke through them while cracking crab with my hands.Based on only the seafood boil, the food was 2/5 stars. Service/atmosphere 5/5

We love the daily specials! The wait staff has always been pleasant and friendly. This is our go-to place for special events. Try the hush puppies! You won't regret it. There are also plenty of choices for those that do not eat seafood.

3 lbs of seafood (black oysters, blue crab, and headless shrimp) with bread, broccoli, and potatoes included for $45. Insane value, and it was really good. My only complaint is that they played depressing acoustic covers of pop songs almost the entire time but that's okay, they were vibin'.
