Yummy quick place to get seafood. No parking, so if you’re lucky, you’ll find a street parking close by. But beware, it’s not free for 1 hour. I paid 6.00 because it’s the loop area, not far from downtown. Nice clean atmosphere !

Been here 3 times now, love this place! Affordable & delicious seafood and friendly service. Definitely try a seafood pasta or fried rice and get the Cajun fries! The fried whitefish is also tasty.

This place is a solid 4. The lobster roll was incredibly tasty but small and overpriced. My family literally lives in Maine so I have had the best of the best when it comes to lobster rolls, but what made this one special was how different and yet well delivered it was. It had no mayonnaise, just a perfectly toasted roll with butter and claw and tail lobster meat. It was simple but each component was perfectly executed.. the roll was perfect, the amount of butter was perfect, etc. My only complaint would have to be the price and portion size. It should also be noted that I came at an odd time so I was the only one in the place, but I still had to ask for a refill on my soda and had to ask for my check. Still, the waitress was friendly and polite. In that way the service was similar to the food: good (better than most) but not stellar.

Food was ok. I feel the crab broil had a bit too much garlic and the sauce was watery than I have experienced elsewhere. Service is subpar. The fried shrimp and fries were good. Chicken fried rice was bland.

It is very pricey and provides a quarter of corn and potatoes. Please serve whole corn and potatoes. It’s the cheapest ingredient for a seafood meal. The other thing is they only have can soda , so no refill.

Good Cajun boil and po’boys. Not fancy but tasty. Two stars off for the service. Very minimal compared to price for simple Cajun boil. They should’ve explained the hands-on eating and offered a glass for my beer.
