I definitely give 5 stars! The food was excellent, the service excellent! I come out for mother’s day and they did a free drink, a drawing for a gift and gave me a rose. Highly recommend will definitely come back.

The food is very good and plentiful. Got the half dozen raw oysters as an appetizer. They were fresh, well chilled and delicious. We then shared the 2-person crab, sausage, shrimp and clam boil with The Boom seasoning, which I highly recommend. Not only was it excellent, but there was more than we could eat in one sitting. We will definitely be going back.

It’s messy and expensive, but I think some people will find that’s half the fun. You should know what you’re in for. The first time we went, we got the garlic butter flavor and it was really boring. This time we did “The Bomb” and it was much more flavorful. I highly recommend not being conservative with the flavors, since everything is boiled, the flavors gentle down easily. Regarding the “messy” part, eating shellfish is always pretty messy, but wet shellfish is a whole new game. Everything is soaking wet, and though they give you gloves, bibs, napkins, and utensils, you still shouldn’t wear any clothes you might be fond of. Other than that, the food was fair quality. Clams and mussels were way better than expected and quite delicious, crab legs and crawfish were as expected and very good, and the only “meh” was the shrimp which was over cooked and sort of soggy. Overall I’d recommend this restaurant if you want the experience of a seafood boil, but not so much if you just crave high end seafood.

I ordered the Four Seasons Special with “The Boom” mild seasoning and with a spicy seasoning on the side. My husband and I could not eat all of it. It was very good and when we remembered to eat the left overs two days later…it was still delicious! The calamari is good and for desert, I ate the cheese cake with strawberry drizzle. A very scrumptious birthday treat!

The general manager is awesome she was nice and friendly and you could tell she cared about how her guest were being treated. Our server was new but awesome if she didn’t know she found out when asked a question. Over all we were very satisfied with our meal

The food was absolutely horrible to me. It wasn’t seasoned well at all. Ordered the snow crab boil with garlic butter flavor it didn’t taste like real butter nor could you taste any garlic. The food tasted like it had been sitting in water for too long and it lost it’s flavor. The best part was the corn it was sweet and good so I left 1 star. I had to drain off whatever that was that was supposed to be butter when I got home and add some real butter and seasonings. Me and my friend went together and she didn’t like hers either. Together we spent $110 it definitely wasn’t worth it. The other food items on the menu may be better not sure but the crab boil was horrible to me. Normally I wouldn’t leave a review but decided I would this time. I know everyone’s taste is different but when I buy seafood I want it to taste like seafood not watered down. The sausage was super salty but didn’t taste like sausage at all. Drove 1 hour there and a hour back. But hey it is what it is. Definitely not a place I’d go for seafood again. However I didn’t order the all you can eat but they have a 90 minute time limit on that That’s my personal honest review.

Went for my wife’s birthday, I’m not a fish eater. I had buffalo wings and they were tough. She said her crab legs were very good.

Service was great! However, there was only 1 potato and 1 corn on the cob in my boil. In addition, the snow crab legs were smaller than at meijer, etc. I’m not one to complain but I had high hopes for this place. Great service! Just needed more veggies in my boil for the price!

It should have been a warning when we walked in and saw a sign that they automatically add 18% gratuity to parties of 5 or more. The food and service should earn that. You shouldn’t strong-arm it out of customers. In addition the wait staff has 0 incentive to properly care for a table if they are going to automatically charge 18%.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. We went for mother’s day with my family to celebrate. There is no system other than sticky notes for reservations. Once seated, our waitress only checked on us twice. They charge you extra if you accidentally drop your plastic fork and fail to provide anything to physically Crack any crab. Most of our food was wrong or omitted. For our difficulty, the manager removed the food from our bill that we never recjeved and called it a discount then told us that was all she was willing to do. My meal consisted of a single claw of crab, a potato that was hard and some overcooked corn. The fries were soggy and underseasoned.
