Decided to give this place a try since we haven’t been here before. It was a Sunday afternoon and there was no issue finding seating. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The setting of the restaurant is very nicely decorated. A bar near the main entrance with tvs. Seating has good spacing and comfortable. We ordered a few appetizers and main entrees. The raw oysters we okay not particularly my top from what I have sampled around my are. My little one enjoyed his cheese burger and fries. The fried calamari were good sized pieces. The friend jalapeño were tasty and different. The two main entrees were the fried fish tacos and the fried fish po boy sandwich. For my taste specifically I would have prefer the fish to be more crispy. I found it to be a bit undercook for my taste but it had great taste. My side of Guac was also not freshly maid. The Guac came in a single serve packet that seems to came from Walmart. (That presentation could use some work or maybe they were out of Ingredients) The broils did look pretty good so I would give that a try next time.

Seafood boil bags are one of my favorites.. and for once I was actually going to eat it in house instead of take out. So I was actually highly disappointed. I should have taken a Friday night at peak hours and there’s only two other people in the restaurant maybe as a sign. But ya know “covid” is still around. So I went for it. The service was slow. With only a couple of other tables. The waitress was very friendly. They have a full-service bar. And me and my friend ended up ordering a couple cocktails. We also got soup which only comes in one size which is crazy. Large bowl. And she got hush puppies which she enjoyed.

soft grand opening and honestly I’m not impressed. I anticipated this opening with my family and it was very lack luster compared to other seafood places I’ve been too ( crab catcher for one). So we came in and was seated right away, the waitress came right over and got our order, a bit to soon if you ask me as we didn’t get to take a good look at menu. We price checked a few options and then ordered the crab du jour special 50.99 for 1 lbs crab legs, 1lbs shrimp, and 1lbs black mussels, 3 potatoes and 3 corn. My daughter ordered the chicken slider sandwich and we had a garlic bread app. I had all the seasonings mixed in for the boil as I usually get at any place. The boil came pretty quickly, before any of the other food which was impressive. There was no egg in it, but still a very nice portion. Plates with wet wipes, bib’s and gloves came out after (should’ve been brought out before hand but not a total annoyance). We open the bag and dived in, and I have to say I was very disappointed. The seasoning was all buttery, overly buttery, to the point I had to stop eating. I asked for the Cajun and lemon pepper seasonings to be to be brought out separately to try and both lacked flavor was cold and taste like butter! I decided to take my food to go and packed up everything up to leave. It was worth the food for the price but the flavor was a turn off. I’ll be sticking with crab catcher.

I ordered pickup from here after hearing it finally opened up, I had been looking forward to it for a long time! I placed an order for a build your own bag and an order of the crab meat fries for pick up at 4:45 PM on Saturday. We got there right at 4:45pm and found the place pretty empty and the food waiting ready for pick up. The folks working inside were sitting around the bar but did stand up to say Hi when we walked in.

I’ve been twice before for dine-in. Each time I get the seafood boil. It was good each time, but nothing amazing. This time we ordered takeout on a Friday night. I don’t think I will be back again. It’s never really busy but there was no one there on a Friday night. Everything was overcooked. The shrimp was chalky in texture and the corn incredibly mushy. The quality of the seafood seemed very off. We ended up throwing everything out. I would not recommend. I honestly would have called for a refund. It was terrible.

Let’s start with, I see where many reviews say friendly staff and I agree. Still there’s a lack of Training and Communication with Wait staff. Not a busy time of day. All drinks came at different times. Appetizers were also given at different times and sadly to say so was the Main Dishes, due to levels of crust that built from sitting under a heat table. 2 12oz. drinks that each cost $9.99 were not worth it. A Strawberry Smoothie that had liquid syrup and blended ice. Not a piece of fruit in it! The other Mango Madness was worse. A spoon of mango puree in I’m guessing weak sparkling water. Sodas had no carbonation. Now the food was worth the price, the serving were plentiful and cooked correctly. But as a total experience it was no different as eatting at a fast food restaurant. Except the cost $178… 4 adults and a 2yr old.
