Great service, decent food. Flavors are good, but wish they had noodles to go with it in addition to the rice. The fries are great, but the calamari was not worth it. Soft shell crab basket was good, but small portions.

The place is located in a very convenient location around Harvard square. It is about 5-7 mins walking distance from the T. Finding a parking spot can be a little bit tricky during busier times. However, finding a spot to sit in inside of the restaurant should be a much easier task as the restaurant is very spacious and has a lot of tables as well as multiple floors.

Delicious, but messy. Cajun spices are delicious and a must. Waitress was very attentive, and enjoyable and made the visit that much better. This place is underrated in the Boston seafood scene.

Such a great experience. The food is full of spice and flavor. The menu is simple with plenty of options. We loved the “hands on” activity of eating and sharing our dishes as a family. The server and staff were great at making sure we knew how to choose and how to best enjoy everything. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who not only wants to have good food but also an fun experience.

Third time was an absolute charm. Bought back 4 new diners last week and they loved it.

I can’t say that the food was super delicious, it was pretty good (maybe not a very good choice), BUT … the interior is just wonderful … lighthouse and other sea symbols 🙂 The staff was very friendly. I will definitely go again.

Everything was fantastic. Went with a group of 7 people for an early dinner. We received excellent service, and the food was delicious. I had the shrimp basket with seasoned fries and fried oysters . If you want good seafood at a reasonable price and outstanding service,this place is it!

Cajun crab chain restaurant where you eat it with your hands. Service is great. Being used to Boiling Crab having crazy wait times on west coast, I have no idea why this place does not have a line… which is great. (Maybe food is 90% as good as the ones on west coast?)

I highly recommend this place for your seafood boil cravings! The margarita is a must, it goes so well with the seafood boil. The mix of all three sauces is the way to go! Great place and great service, 10/10!
