This is another great dining place with great food! It's been a while, but I decided to visit again. I normally dine in , but I called in my order ahead of time. I ordered the daily special 1/2 lb of blue crabs 1/2 lb headless shrimp came with corn and potatoes with cilantro lime sauce with lemon pepper on the side. When I arrived I expected to wait, being I literally ordered 15 mins ago and it takes 10 mins from my house to get there. My order was the customer service was excellent. Each staff member was friendly as if I was the only person there. My order was ready I also requested a special drink which was a wine margarita. Instead of the adding tequila I requested wine. I thought I would be denied, but the bartender was excited to hear and try my drink choice. She made it fresh right in front of me and it was delicious!! The atmosphere was great and the facility was clean as always! Thank you for making my money worth spending here!

This place opened later than the other restaurants around, so we went. The food was great, well-seasoned, and tasted really fresh. The decor was really nice, too.

this was my very first time trying a seafood boil place. it was very good! I got medium rockin style for my seasoning and it was a decent level of spice and lots of garlic butter flavor. Karen was our server for our big group and was so kind and helpful. I would come back for the lunch special for sure!
