BEWARE!!! THIS EVENT SUCKS!!The food was not of high quality, pretty much a Mrs. Paul's seafood experience. Long lines, high prices, eventually they ran out of food. Yet they continued to charge admission. You'd have a better experience at, Red lobster. Or at home. Pack a lunch, and sit by the river, it's a much better deal.

I would rather eat worms than go back there. I paid money to stand in line for food trucks that ran out of food and saw vendors leave out oysters outside in hot weather. Hope no one died. There was one sad guy playing guitar. Oh and I loved how plenty of people didn't even pay for the tickets and just walked in while the idiots we are had tickets

Waste of money. Only got to try 6 of the 15 vendors because they kept running out of samples. Had to wait 20-30 min in each line, gambling if we’d get a sample or not. Absolutely ridiculous.

I've attended 2 BAP events over the last couple of years and that is all I need. The first was a Wing Fest when things were just starting to open up from Covid. After reviewing the different ticket tiers, we decided to go with the VIP tickets as we get in early, get beer mugs (Stella Artois chalices), and unlimited wings. We include some friends, and based on those facts, we buy 4 tickets. As the event gets closer somehow the unlimited wings selling point disappears. When we get to the event, we get in early, are allowed to only visit each vendor one time (also with less vendors than advertised), and we get mismatched chalices! One is larger than the other! We had a decent time, but the switcheroo on the unlimited wings left a bad taste in my mouth.The second event was an Oktoberfest event. Again, went with the VIP package based on what was advertised, but the benefit of the VIP package really didn't seem all that VIP. Again received Stella Artois chalices, both the same size this time, but were underwhelmed by the available beers for an Oktoberfest. The rest of the event was filled with a random assortment of vendors you might find at any street fair or flea market.I give 2 stars because the events occurred, but they are seriously lacking in quality.

BAP events have been bad in the past and I’ve avoided them because I always felt like I was begging for what I already paid for and lines are always horrendous. I gave BAP another try here because this was supposed to be a buffet.The VIP buffet, which was billed as a “seafood nirvana” was sparse, with a handful of food items available at a given time. I take a buffet to mean I can help myself to what I want, in whatever quantity I want, but Big Ang (the ridiculous name the promoter refers to himself as) seems to think otherwise. Food was rationed in strict quantities as it was being served by an apologetic staff. Choices included half a lobster roll, which was really a roll split as the top and bottom and then each hollowed out piece filled with bits of lobster and served open faced; one single Rangoon, a small piece of cod, a single skimpy crab cake, a scoop paella with a varying piece of seafood, a scoop of chicken teriyaki, two small shrimps, and similar sized, single scoops of several salads like quinoa, and greens. Lines were long and in the hot sun, you weren’t allowed to get more than one of anything, and you weren’t allowed to cycle through the buffet a second time. This came at the cost of about $100 and also was to include craft beers, wines, and ciders. There were several commercial beer choices (Bud light, anyone?), one cider, and one canned wine.The craft beer ticket, somewhere around $40, entitled you to entry to the event and sample size cups of beer after waiting in another long line.General admission was $20 and all that got you was entry passed the security guard. Unless you were a VIP, you had no seating and no shade from the hot sun on an 70°-80° day. Food trucks also had long lines and ran out of food shortly after opening to the general public.Next time you come across a BAP event, go anywhere else but to the event, and you’ll have a much better time.

Falsely advertised. The most disorganized event ever attended. The food offered was terrible and there were no craft beers to be had. The event sponsor deletes negative reviews and therefore no one is allowed to make an informed decision about whether to attend their events. I would strongly advice against attending their events. It was just horrible! Negative stars.

Horribly run event. Vip tickets are a rip off! I paid to stand on long lines for food, drinks. We received low quantity of food. Food ran out on some that came later. What a joke! Never again! At least I got my $$ back. So should you .

The event was terribly run based on the food and beverage problem but Angelo was a gentleman in refunding you your full money back and was embarrassed of how it was run and very apologetic I would recommend giving him another chance a scammer would not refund your money so 5- stars are for Angelo!!!
