Food, service and music is a whole vibe! Our host Gill was very attentive and on point when it came to helping and getting our food ASAP! I got the pound of head-on shrimp with the Stinkin crawfish sauce medium spice, wasn't super spicy but was very flavorful! The cajun fries were delicious and thick. Definitely check this place out for their food!

First time here! We ordered the crabby lobster with peeled shrimp, it was the perfect mix & portion was generous. Gil, our waiter recommended the stinkin special sauce, good thing we listened because it was perfect. Very attentive server, good food. We'll be back.

Was just recommended this place. When I went it was empty and quiet. The server Jessie was really nice. He had amazing customer service. The restaurant was clean and nice. I ordered snow crab legs, corn on the cob, boiled egg, and a couple strawberry margaritas. The crab leg tasted fresh however it wasn't a lot of meat inside of the crab legs, so that was a bummer, but the little bit of meat that was in there tasted good along with the garlic butter. The margaritas were fire. The fried Oreo and ice cream was pretty good too ;) I'd come back.

3 pm Saturday party of 2 Somehow I've neverrrr been to a crab shrimp boil spot?! Spot is nice, we were able to slide into a booth. Server was helpful and pleasant. My first time so I let him pick. He ordered the crabby Shrimp combo; Tiger Shrimp, snow crab and Lobster combo with lemon pepper. Comes with fried Oreo and scoop of vanilla. You know we dessert FIRST so there are no wasted opportunities. Combo also included corn potatoes and sausage. Gloves, bib, salt and pepper, lime wedges ready. The bag hit the table and we were off. I really enjoyed everything in the bag. The lime added a nice hit of acid to the flavors. We were right by the windows and I enjoyed the hands on experience against the drizzle outside and all the ambient light. Flavors and execution were done well. Thank you!
