Just moved from Las Vegas and I must say I was very impressed. Jaime our waitress, made our first seafood boil find here such a fun and rememberable experience. Than you Jamie for the Boudin balls recommendation 10/10! definitely will be back.

Another one of those few places that serve alligator, my absolute favorite. Fresh alligator, real good food along with casual atmosphere & friendly service is what it takes. Greeted upon arrival, definite friendly service. We were both impressed with the food quality. Freshly, crispy right amount of batter fried food! Best hot fries are here!

This is our new go-to Seafood spot. We have tried most of the menu and nothing disappoints. The food is always hot, well seasoned and fresh. Service is AWESOME. They have great happy hour specials for food and drinks. Please try the gumbo, it's bowl-licking delicious!

This place had the best seafood boil I have ever had eaten in my entire life. I don't say that lightly, there was a time that we caught crab off the eastern shore. This blew that away. We opted for the crab trap (1lb head on (we subbed headless) shrimp and 3lb snow crab. The crab was super fresh. I mean super fresh, none of that flimsy shell stuff you can barely crack. The seasoning (we went with the trinity and garlic butter - I would recommend this combo it was absolutely killer) was totally on point. This was so good guys, and we got it as delivery. They included even some paper to put down, gloves, and bibs as well as forks and spoons. I don't think I could have asked for anything more. If I could give this a 6th star I totally would.

Food was good. Prices are average for seafood. Split the smallest boil with husband and there was a good amount of food, could've used one more set of legs though. Thought it was odd that there was broccoli in the boil but it was actually pretty good. Probably the spiciest item in the bag because it really soaked in all the juices and seasoning. Catfish was huge, come with fries, coleslaw and/or hush puppies were extra. Ran out of coleslaw while we were there so can't comment on that but hush puppies had jalapeno in them. Service was okay, a bit slow but there were quite a few large parties there celebrating birthdays. Would be bag again. #3 spice level, Cajun is a yummy but nose running hot.

We were a large part of 11 and they seem ti be very comfortable driving large parties! Food was great! Fried Pickles were a great starter! Cod and shrimp sub was huge! Great idea to share! Seemed like a true team environment! Someone was always tending to us and helping out since we were there in a busy Saturday!

The staff is very friendly and personable I like the flavor of the sauce that includes all the spices combined. The spice level was perfect, Izzie described the mild flavor as the heat level of a jalapeño and it was spot on. It was the perfect amount of spice without having my eyes and nose running like faucets. The fried combo platted was good. We chose the jumbalya bites, fried pickles and calamari. The food came out promptly and hot. We chose a seafood platter and opted for headless shrimp for an additional cost. It was definitely worth it because the the shrimp was not only served without the head but also the shell, which was pleasantly surprising. The only reason for four stars is the crab. There were several legs that were pretty hollow inside, which was pretty disappointing. Overall, we had a great excited and I would return in the future.
