I went in to have oysters. I love oysters and I'm always looking to support small businesses in my area. We sat down and I ordered a dozen, and later my sister ordered a boil. I got my oysters, I thought they had a slight smell to them, mentioned it to my sister, but I dressed them in hopes that I was trippin, tried one, it didn't taste good. As anyone that eats plenty of oysters knows that there may just be one that isn't good, I tried another one. Awful. I waited for our server to rerun to the table and I mentioned that these were no good, and I wouldn't like them. And she asked me if I wanted to take them to go. I said I wouldn't like them and she said, they have a 2 minute limit on returning the food.... Now that is a policy that must be posted at every table. Then she leaned over and looked at my oysters and said "yeah I can't take that back" ?????? Is it a 2 minute time limit or does how much I consumed matter ? Which was only two.... Which was a horrible experience. What does time have to do with anything? You can't re-serve food anyways.... Giving someone a 2 minute limit without the customers knowledge, is morally sick, and senseless. It most likely took me more than 2 minutes to dress my oysters. Most people are going to take more than 2 minutes to try their food if they are not eating alone. My sister ordered a spicy boil. She added potatoes, and the waitress said she threw in a few extra... but at about 1.75, those extra potatoes would added up to that value considering the potatoes were the size of the baby potatoes in the store. Literally, and they were so mushy they could barely hold together in your hand. It seemed as if they gave us the bottom of their pot of potatoes and tried to make it seem like they gave us extra, but in reality, those were just the smallest ones out of the bunch. If you put them together, it would be a regular serving. And my sister said that her food was good! But not as spicy as she would prefer. I read the other reviews and I'm not sure what story management will make up to not take accountability for this and try to make it seem like I came in with a poor attitude or something. I wish I would have read the responses on their one star reviews before I came, because their service reflects the same energy. I definitely was looking to enjoy a few dozen oysters, and I left very dissatisfied with my service. Not necessarily because I had to pay for the oysters, but because of the policy mentioned, and then her leaning over to look at my tray and acting like I ate a bunch.... Basically me being patient and giving this spot a chance is why they did me dirty Not a chance in life I would return.

We ordered the fried haddock basket with sweet potato fries for a $1.00 upcharge. We also ordered a snow crab boil and a snow crab boil with craw fish both medium spicy. We also ordered unlimited rice as an extra charge and corn. The fried haddock was a huge order and the sweet potatoes were excellent. The crab boils we ordered were both with garlic and butter and it was delicious. I wish they gave you actual stainless steel silverware and not plastic forks and a real dish for your rice not a paper dish. The paper dish fell apart from the rice towards the end of the meal. I think instead of paper napkins they should offer wet wipes for your hands as it gets very messy eating crab from shells with sauce. It was like being served a pricey tasty meal in a picnic with all paper products and cheap silverware. We had to ask for a bucket to place our bones in and had to chase the waitress down for extra rice etc. she never checked on us to see if we needed anything. Overall the food was excellent but at these price points real dishes and silverware should be offered.In response to the message I just received from yummy crab stating I should check other crab boil places as they use paper plates and plastic utensils as yummy crab does: I have taken you up on checking other crab boil establishments and they offer real porcelain dishes and real stainless silverware unlike your restaurant. You can check yourself by contacting Cajun boil bar in Oak Brook Terrace IL and King Crab Illinois both close to where I live. ?

Shrimp over cooked, request exchange. They refused, saying because they are jumbo that happens. They failed to replace or not charge. I have been to different Cajun places, and for sure this tbe worst. I highly recommend not to come. Yes, I was asked to leave because of this post, but I was will to pay this overcooked shrimp, and yes since I was going to pay my bill, I was going to take the leftover to a homeless person. The only I didn't pay was because you requested me to leave. I was going to pay, but since you asked to leave i wasn't able to pay. Good luck on your future endeavors because if people want to eat shrimp stuck to the shells, then more power to your business.

The customer service is absolutely absurd. I went in placed an order on February 26, 2024 from around 6:45 to 7:15-ish. The lady that took my order was a short, Hispanic lady and she was very rude and never once did she acknowledge any of my questions, when she gave me my food, I told her to have a good night totally ignored me so it's no surprise that every time I go in there with my family to spend our hard earn money that it's always empty. The food is great but with that type of Customer Service from her Would make a customer not want to come in there at all the lady that was working between that time shouldn't be there so I'm warning everyone now please be cautious of her because she's absolutely terrible! SHE ALSO HAD OPEN TOE SANDALS ON WORKING AT A RESTAURANT

Food was delicious prices was a little high , but I loved the lobster tail and potatoes. The best clam chowder we have had since we have been in Las Vegas . Would definitely recommend wanted to try the combo's but not a fan of craw fish . Also service and music was good!! Definitely would go back here .

It was my first time going to this restaurant. We of a party of seven with four small children. The staff was extremely friendly catered to all our needs. The food was great! We ordered a little bit of everything there was zero complaints. I really like the atmosphere. It's very laid back and relaxing environment. If you're looking for a seafood boil I would definitely recommend!

Great service and the seafood was really fresh. It didn't have that frozen taste. The lobster tail was overcooked had to put it in a headlock to get it out of the shell. The sauce was ok. I prefer a thicker sauce but it was still good. Mild is flavorful so I would recommend taking it up to medium spice level. The Laguna special is perfect for 2 people. The cajun fries had a nice kick to them.. They were Spicer than the mild sauce
