Food was horrible. Who serves hot dog weenies cut up in some seasoning for a buffet? The baria pork was tough enough to break a tooth as well.

Worst service ever waited 45 mins when only two other tables were there they brought my husband’s food first then waited 30 mins for the crawfish had to ask for them then finally brought them out an they were cold everyone that ordered crawfish had there’s steaming coming to the table. Potatoes were hot as hell an corn!! Worst place ever will never go back!!

Picked up a sack of crawfish to boil from The King & we are very satisfied! These are the most lively/healthy ones we’ve ever had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Horrible experience on yesterday. I ordered the AYCE crawfish and 3lbs for each of my children. Crawfish were over cooked and extremely hard to get out of the shell. The waiter Julissa NEVER checked to see if we needed refills, if we were ok, nor did I need more crawfish being that mines was AYCE. I had to send my daughter up front for assistance not once but TWICE! Needless to say I never got more crawfish. I questioned where was the manager she stated that there was no manager nor boss on shift that the waiters were in charge? She also stated that the crawfish weren’t over cooked they were just big but I’ve had big crawfish from other places and none were too tough nor dry so that was a lie as well. The customer service was horrible!!! I spent $105 and it was crap I’ll never be back.

Hoped this would be good and it didn't disappoint. Nice server and good food. Grilled shrimp, diablo shrimp, and shrimp and octopus followed by churro and sopapillas. Would def go there again.

I don't recommend buying their live crawfish. Half of the bag were dead cut in half and very dirty, I have never purchased crawfish so dirty as the ones here I paid over $3 per pound. Definitely buy your live crawfish somewhere else. Will never be returning here.

Food came warm, portions small, got mild was super bland the small dipping sauce was barely half full, food overpriced, had to wave down service while they stood at bar and talked. Not very clean. Chips and salsa was good.

Our waitress was wonderful sweet tea amazing ..Got the king platter boiled shrimp crawfish and snow crab..Ot was good.My only negative was the crawfish was very small no meat in those tails.. sausage potatoes were amazing if somome is being charged almost 90$ for food makemsure it's worth that much .

Food was ok. Ordered a daiquiri horrible. No taste. How you sell this item with no liquor license? It was a Virgin and charged me 9 bucks.

Service nice Atmosphere nice Michelada very good Chips and salsa good Ordered crawfish. Requested no seasoning to be sprinkled on the crawfish. Waitress came back with another lady. Baffled! Asking if I was sure. I said yes just boil it in the seasoned water. She said ma"am the crawfish will have no salt flavor unless they coat cooked crawfish in the seasoning. We cancelled crawfish. Oysters on half shell were not fresh. Ate one spit out. Can't review Mexican food but did look good! Worst $42 spent

Excuse me for saying this but, frankly, it is the worst seafood place I have ever tried and it does not even reach half of what it must be the flavor that they offer, since the order that I buy was if not bad. I remember the shack boiled shrimp had no seasonings, only boiled in water, no flavor, its potatoes, corn and crab legs ... the same, I really do not recommend it since I travel from Houston to Porth Athur for that restaurant and not It's worth it, I'd rather eat again at the Little Mermaid restaurant in Freeport, that restaurant is worth what you eat.
