This place is great! The price is fantastic for what you are getting and the staff is very friendly and make sure your needs are met. The food is to die for. I’m a huge fan of the clam chowder, gumbo and crab poppers. Then the main course was filling and wounderful followed by a beautiful and tasty dessert. I would highly recommend this place for dates, family outings, hanging out with friends, or any other casual outing where you are looking for good company great service and lots of tasty food!

The food is good, but I don’t think it’s legal to charge the 15% tip to your check, this is exactly what this place did. I asked if this was standard for them to do, and the lady said yes, for parties of 5+ people is an automatic 15%. I paid since it was my daughter’s graduation celebration lunch and I have to say I was going to leave a tip but it was gonna be subject to the service given that I must say it has some flaws like not bringing my drink and me having to remind them also not offering any napkins resulting in me grabbing some from another table as well as me asking for more gloves and the lady making a gesture as if I was asking for too much (only 3 more pairs because the first ones riped). I can say the service was not worth a 15% tip but I had no choice because they have that standard for parties of 5+ to be automatically charged for it. I think the tip should be earned by the quality of service you get.

Very good. Loved the food. My only issues is it was very hot inside and I don’t like to sweat so much when I’m eating. Maybe the ac was broken. Food was amazing though.

Food taste decent, it taste similar to any other Louisiana style seafood place. They only serve drinks through cans or bottles, no refills available. Place is a little small so it can get crowded quick. Ambience is not so good, as it feels like the place feels cheap but sells expensive food (Seafood duh). Anyway overall its an ok place to eat.

We ordered their sought-after seafood boil, it was good, fresh and it smelled rich promising a palatable taste. Their concoction of sauce blended perfectly with the delightful taste of the seafood.

I think this place is decent. I live in South Bay so I sometimes don’t want to drive too far to get my seafood fix. I was sad that they didn’t have mussels.

Honestly have been very disappointed… this is the second time I order take out from here and I’ve been missing items inside my seafood bag. I spent over $100 and when I called to let them know each time they told me “ want to come back “ or we can give you $5 credit . But the missing items honestly ruined the whole meal. It would not have made any sense to go back after already getting him and sitting down to eat. I’ve dined in a few times and have been satisfied this being the reason I come back … but wasn’t happy with the constant mistakes for take out and not much help or accommodation when they give the wrong order.

Ok, now that I have whittled the Boil down to a few crawfish, sausage, and one potato, I can tell you a little something about it.
