The food was absolutely delicious and only surpassed by the outstanding service. Our waitress was attentive and kept our classes filled with our choice beverages. The seasoning used in their boils was soooo yummy!!!! The fried oyster and catfish baskets were yummy too. Their flavored lemonades were the best we ever had in Delaware.

The restaurant was nice. We were the first there for lunch today. We were seated right away. The service was ok there was no one there. We ordered a shrimp basket, a fish basket and some hot wings and fries. Everything came out nice and hot. Not very flavorful though. No seafood seasoning and very light salt if any. I’ll go back and try the boil next time. I can’t recommend anything yet.

Server could have been more attentive. Good thing she was nice because her manager by the name of Tee was not nice at all. They forgot our eggs in the boil and did the same to the table next to us. I used to come often under old management and it was at least pleasant. It’s not like they are busy! I’ve never seen more than 4 tables filled at once. This experience will be my last.

Reminds you of Two Claws and Crab Du Jour, but a couple of steps up. Really enjoyed the food. Everything was fresh, hot and seasoned very well. Will definitely go back.

Great atmosphere and service! Prices are very good. Wednesday is Kareoke, but music is not too loud. Great place to bring friends.

First time there, food was good, service not so much. Our server sat at the bar playing on her phone. I had to go get her 2 times for service. She was very unfriendly and unengaged. I would go there again but they really need to work on service skills.

Everything was amazing! From the hostess to the bartender to the waiter! We eat seafood and they top them all! It gives that nice Louisiana flavor! We all had the shrimp and snow crab boil it was phenomenal!! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else!

The food was good. They didn’t have enough servers but Shatyra was awesome! She had a lot of tables to tend to, but we felt like she only had us. She answered every question, what she wasn’t sure of, she came back with answers. I had Maryland blue crabs and New Zealand mussels. They were both flavored very well. You get to choose from 4 seasonings and how spicy you want them. The place was clean and nicely decorated. Only negative things I can say was the lighting was too dim and the bar wasn’t open.

Since this restaurant opened, I have not heard good things. My friend had a get-together here on Saturday, and the food was just as previously stated, disgusting. I ordered Cajun wings and crab fries. The wings were bland. I had to ask for more seasoning, and that didn’t help. The crabs fries came out with a clump of cold cheese whiz and crab meat on top. The fries were hot, but the cheese felt like ice. A few of us in the party all ordered the same thing, and cold cheese was consistent. The server explained that they could heat it up, but that’s how they serve it. I have never had cold cheese on fries and will not start here. Everyone in our party had a complaint. Whether it was cold or bland, the food just wasn’t right. I am not a drinker, but people even had complaints about the drinks. Avoid the disappointment if you can.
