This was the first time we’ve been and really tried the food since the new menu. Our party of three basically shared our meals so that we could all try different things from the menu. Service wasn’t so bad. Drinks came quickly. Price was alright for seafood. Crab claws were perfect. Excellent fried green tomatoes. Crab bisque soup is delicious. Blackened shrimp was a little bland as they did not use much seasoning. The blackened snapper tasted so bland that the only “seasoning” we could taste was from the lemon that we squeezed over it. The shrimp and grits were not horrible, but I definitely would not recommend it. They have the option for a side of brussels sprouts, which one of our party members tried to order, but the server told us they didn’t have them because they were out of season. Brussels sprouts are a fall/winter vegetable. It’s barely January..

NEW OWNERS!! Own the OFF THE HOOK food truck….stopped in and staff were very friendly. Had the fried oysters that were lightly breaded and just enough spice. The remoulade sauce was very good. Crab cake sliders were just enough! Hubby had the Shrimp Po Boy and you could barely see the great!. They have a side bar that opens to the outside for eating and drinking. Can’t wait to hang out during the football season. Glad to see a fish place in our neck of the woods! Prices were fair – Parking was easy

One star is generous. Simply put, stay far away. Everything was horrible. The server, the manager and then there was the condescending owner. We had burnt burgers and just asked if they could be taken off the check but we still had to pay for them even though they were not edible because the owner said “he would eat it so it’s good”. I have never been treated so poorly by a restaurant staff in my life. Saw our server twice, the manager was clueless and didn’t know what she was doing and the owner was flat out rude, obnoxious and treated us like we were crazy for not wanting a burger so charred you could write your name on the wall with it. .they smelled horrible when they were set on the table. The bar is probably the only reason the restaurant is still open but fortunately a new one opened down the road from there so my business will move to the new place. I will NEVER set foot back in there and no one should because no one deserves to be treated this way. Owning a restaurant does not give the right to treat people anyway they want just because there isn’t a cooperate system to go through.

Terrible service. We came for Mother’s Day. Half our party’s food came out and it was 20 minutes before the other half of our orders showed up. The kids meals came out last. Almost everyone’s meals were missing at least one of the sides. The grilled shrimp were very greasy. The fried dishes were better but the overall experience was terrible. I highly recommend steering clear of this place.

Possibly the worst seafood I’ve eaten in the Birmingham metro. I had the House Combo with shrimp, oysters, and flounder. The shrimp tasted like the grease that fried them with no shrimp flavor at all. The flounder was called that because it definitely was floundering as a dish to be eaten and tasted more like farm-raised, old tilapia. The oysters were past their prime. I’ve had better seafood from frozen entree’s at the grocery store.

Must have changed owners.The shrimp use to be Calabash Shrimp is not anymore was very terrible like from the frozen section out of a bag at Walmart. The Crab Claws were terrible possibly the worst I have eaten. Asked for melted butter and they did not give it to me then tried to blame me for not picking the food up in ten seconds but sorry I live an hour away and then charged $60 for crab claws and shrimp! Overpriced seriously overpriced and terrible food once great but no longer will be eating anywhere near that place!!
