Too many weird rules for me personally, but the food is good. They want your name and phone number when you walk up, so I gave it thinking I’d be texted when a table is ready but there was no wait, did I just sign up for telemarketing? Secondly you have to pay with a card, which to me is fine but still pretty weird, I mean who doesn’t take cash. Third, no matter if you are with another couple or person the whole table gets one bill, they will not split it up, again that makes no sense to me. Fourth, a fountain soda is $3 and comes in a small mason jar. At first I was like ok that’s fine but then you find out there is no refills, cmon, who doesn’t have free refills on FOUNTAIN soda. Fifth, although I am a good tipper they automatically put a 20% gratuity on the bill no matter how many people are dining. I guess that’s great for dirtbags but if the service is very good I’d give you more than 20%, but I’d feel odd about adding a few bucks or a five on the table it looks cheap even if it is extra. I find that preloaded tips allow waitstaff to slow walk and not be as attentive, so I personally am not a fan of it. The workers wanted to clear our table and we had to move our drinks, phones and be interrupted for no reason, then you left a huge pool of butter drippings all over the table. Regarding the food alone it was tasty, well presented and fresh and hot. Portion size was not small or large it was average. Seating is comfortable outside and inside appeared nice also. Just too many weird rules for me, I don’t give my personal information out for no reason, I want to pay how I want, anywhere in the world gives free refills on fountain drinks and I want to decide what I tip but I feel I’m compensating for the deadbeats out there.

I like the food but some of the food can cook longer such as potatoes, cones and sauce.also the potatoes are cute too big. I had boil in NYC. The tastes of it is better there.

Food here is awesome.. Even the drinks are pretty good and not watered down.. There is no question about the quality, since everyone in our group absolutely loved what they ordered.

Literally my favorite place. No wait! Gorgeous interior! Incredible food!!! The crab cake caesar is the best salad I have ever had and the lobster roll was so creamy and delicious. I will come here again and again!!! Seriously incredible and great service, too.

Always a fun time. I go less for vibe than the setup which is always a fun experience and the food is solid.

We were seated outside and left for about 15/20 minutes before someone came to take our order. The wait staff was very unorganized. We started off with the oysters, the ones that the 2 waitresses had no clue about where they are from. The oysters were not cleaned well and lots of grit inside them. The crab cake basket was great! Delicious crabcake and seasoning, not to mention the Cajun fries. We then ordered the crawfish and crab boil with corn and potatoes. I will say that if you have never had crawfish, be ready to work hard to extract a very little amount of meat. The shrimp were delicious and a large size. It would be nice to have headless/cleaned crawfish on the menu, such as the way the shrimp is offered with or without a head. I will say that our wait staff definitely weren’t inviting, nor did they explain or go more into depth about the items we ordered. We left a bit disappointed but possibly would return.

After waiting 20 minutes OR MORE for someone to take our order I waived down Andrew who was attending to someone else and he came back over quickly and allowed us to place our order with him . We are not from the town and are visiting and at first I was wondering how long before someone came over to greet us but with no hesitation he helped us out . We asked him twice for cherries for our daughter and he gave it to us . I knew after the first time we probably were being annoying but he NEVER made us feel that way . He continued to check on us . Refill our drinks and broke down the menu for us. He’s awesome and when we come back to visit we will like to see him again . We forgot that gratuity was already included and when my husband went to tip him he reminded us it was included (He didn’t have to do that ). Thank you Andrew for all your help from the family with the Over eating CHERRIES baby .

This was my first time here and the food was really tasteful at a good amount. My waiter Josue was amazing and had good recommendations that made the experience much better. I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in the mood for a boil.

Our waiter was rude , complimented me on a crystal necklace I was wearing after he asked me was it real and how much it cost. I guess he didn’t like my response because he never came back to our table to check if we needed anything. We watched him check up on the rest of his tables and still didn’t come back to us . We asked the host at the door for the check and that’s when he came back to give us the check but never came back for the money . We ended up paying at the bar because we wasn’t waiting another minute for him to come back . My food was super salty which was the soft shell crab basket and Cajuns fries . It was like they dump the whole Cajun season on the fries . The host was very nice and came and asked me if I wanted to swap it out with something else which I did. I ended up getting the crab cake which wasn’t salty but wasn’t that great either . Safe to say I won’t be coming back to that establishment.
