The atmosphere was ok. They played decent music. The first waitress was excellent but the service after was below average. I went for the food and if I could give a negative star review I would. The pictures are of what first came and the second picture is of what I left on the table. Garlic noodles were decent and that’s being nice. The crawfish you could EASILY tell they had been frozen for awhile and I felt nauseous after eating it. One of them were BROWN and old. I love seafood but would NEVER go here again.

I loved the spices they used here for their Cajun and lemon pepper recipes! My sister and I ordered the pound of shrimp, potatoes, corn, and some sausages. Everything tasted fresh, the drinks were nice, and the place was very clean for it being so busy. The staff were attentive and aware of their tables and when to clean and when to seat in a timely manner. Thank you for the great food we’ll definitely be back.

First time and I absolutely loved it!!! I was skeptical since I never really see this place packed, but I’m surprised it’s not flooded with people! Super tasty, delish, flavorful, and addicting! We got the #2 bucket thing (forgot the name of it, but its the second page of the menu) and it was fulfilling for four adults! We had plenty left over too. The garlic noodles are sooo yummy too! Clearly its messy as any other like restaurant, but its so worth it. A real experience!

Despite being busy, the staff did an excellent job making sure that we had everything needed to feast! Along with the appetizers, we ordered the kickin combo deal #1. For a family of four, all of this food was more than enough; we underestimated how much food was going to be in the seafood bag. Overall, the food is a little on the saltier side. We loved how thinly sliced the fries were, making them extra crispy. Calamari was excellent; they were crunchy and tasty. We wished we substituted the garlic noodles for another order of calamari! The garlic noodles became overbearing after the first bite; I wouldn't recommend it. We would come here again.

Eating here was an unusual experience and I would recommend visitors to know a few things before they enter. (1) they serve cooked crab/lobster/etc in a plastic bag with all the gravy in it (2) they don't serve spoons, forks or even plates... (3) you need to be comfortable eating with your hand (4) and its going to get very very messy. That being said, I would still give it 5 stars for the experience and the food. We went here for my son's birthday and he loved it so much that we were shocked.:) Definely a place I would visit again with my son.

I love the food, I just wish they had better staffing. We came here around 4 pm on Sunday, and the wait was about 40 minutes. Half of the restaurant was empty, but they can seat people because they are under staffed. Even when we finally sat down, it was hard to get a waiter for anything. The demand is obviously there, why not hire a few more waiters so more people can enjoy this food!

Sorry to say but it has gone a bit downhill from when I first visited. The service was friendly but lacking: bit slow plus 2 of the dishes we ordered although confirmed by the waitress, never arrived, and we were later told, those particular orders never went through to the kitchen. We ordered bags of shrimp and crawfish. It was cooked well, but the sauce and flavor was on the bland side. The fish and chips and chicken wings were so so. The garlic noodles were fire and still a 10/10 and bring up this rating! The toilets particularly the female toilets were scary - dirty, poorly lit with one light working so 2 cubicles were dark, no toilet seat covers in any cubicles…
