I went here last week for my birthday dinner and it was amazing. Even better than I could have hoped for. Good food and Our server, Dwayne was so kind and attentive, he is truly what made the experience 5 stars! It was a Wednesday night so it wasn’t busy, we got to just walk in. Very calm, clean environment. The food was delicious, I would have preferred mine more seasoned but it was definitely fresh. You do have to add the corn, potatoes, etc separately for an additional cost. The calamari was perfect with a large portion size. Tried the deep fried Oreo with ice cream and it was sooo good, the perfect ending to the meal!

This place is an absolute gem! Fabulous food, service and drinks. We got the fried catfish + Cajun fries, seafood boil (shrimp + snow crab), fried calamari plus two cocktails. Everything was super delicious and flavorful. The drinks were very refreshing (recommend the sweet citrus). Ended dinner with a fried Oreo and ice cream. We will be back for sure!!

Super good! Got the house mix with shrimp (head on), garlic noodles, and salt & pepper chicken wings. Shrimp was cooked well, noodles were very flavorful, and wings were nice and crispy 😋. I only eat shrimp/seafood maybe 2x a year (because my fiancée is allergic) but this is the one place I go to! Great music and decor too! Service is always great as well! Highly recommend!

They're currently understaffed. Restaurant didn't open until 5:15pm. We arrived at 4:50 pm. There were 6-8 parties in line including us. Got in at 5:40 pm. Website said they opened at noon. We got the AYCE, from when they took our order sheets it took about an hour for our food to come out and we cancelled round 2 because it would take too long. Staff was really sweet and tried their best to get things out quickly and also accommodated in cancelling our next round. Food was delicious, got the crawfish, shrimp, clams and mussels with house sauce (mild) 1/2lb each. 2lbs of seafood for $35/person is not bad. If only the food came out faster, we could've taken advantage of the AYCE more it would've been a better deal.

I got here at noon when the place opened. The guy at the counter was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. My food came out very quickly. I ordered the calamari for an appetizer I asked if we could fry the calamari hard because I’ve had experiences where they hit or miss. He said “well, the harder you fry at the chewy or gets I think we’ve perfected our calamari. Try it. “ I must say it is probably some of the best calamari I’ve ever had.

The food was amazing! The only reason we couldn’t give 5 stars was because they were out of garlic bread and we came relatively early so it was pretty upsetting. The service was good it just seemed they didn’t have enough people on the floor to help how busy it was. All in all though I would absolutely recommend this place

Nice atmosphere. The amount of parsley they put on 8 chicken wings is crazy. Which made the chicken taste dusty. The inside was gray & had a weird smell. When i received the chicken it had to be cooked at least a hour before which made them hard from the moment i received them. The gumbo wasnt gumbo ewww! The food is a no I ate one piece of a wing and now stomach is rolling like Tina turner.

Food was amazing!! I ordered a combo #3 and it did not disappoint. Love the quiet and quaint atmosphere. The music selection was perfect. It was not crowded at all so it felt very intimate. Definitely coming back!
