The restaurant is spacious and clean. Order on kiosk and they will send you a text message when your food is ready. The food wasn’t amazing especially for the price. The shrimp was delicious but the rice was not tasty. Definitely not sushi rice. The fried green beans were not very good either. The staff that helped us with the kiosk was very nice.

Delicious Delicious! Soo hungry I forgot my food photos. Loved the grilled shrimp skewers both in cajun n garlic sauce. Catfish was on point and not greasy despite being fried. The sides were also good, enjoyed tomatoes n feta, roasted corn, beans amd really like the chimchurry parmesan fries!! Really loved the shrimp tacos, overflowing the tortilla! I can pass on coconut shrimp though, that was just ok by comparison.

The oil used in any fried food was likely stale and was not smelling fresh, food was very oily, fish bowl was decent.

Nice simple easy seafood. It’s a really good place for a quick workday lunch. I’ll say you can’t compare this place with a real seafood restaurant. But for a fast food place, it’s pretty impressive. I love my salmon and swai fish combo, with Cole slaw and bean soup. My husband enjoys his fried catfish and chips as well. The plating is kind of poor, but the taste is very nice. I’ll recommend you this place if you are looking for a quick seafood meal.

Tried their new temporarily dish; hot honey sauce on Branzinos and it was so tasty! It was great with brown rice too. I don’t know when they’re going to pull this off the menu but y’all need to go try this asap! Cheers

I appreciate that they tell you which fish are wild caught versus farmed. I ordered the rock cod Cajun style with rice and a side of asparagus for extra $. Fish was cooked well, not overdone and I loved all the extra lemon they give if you ask. However, the Cajun spice was not spicy at all despite having a chili pepper next to it on the menu. Of the three spears of asparagus they gave me, 1/3 of each spear was inedible and should have been cut off before cooking so it wasn’t worth paying extra for.
