My friend and I have gone a handful of times since they opened up and have loved it every time.
Food: First time back in March (pictured), I ordered the dungeness crab and crawfish with non-spicy, all mixed flavor. Tasted amazing. The other visits I've gotten shrimp, butterfly shrimp, and the fried catfish basket, all of which I'd get again. My friend has tried the same but with the garlic butter old bay flavor and that is great, as well. Quality of the food has always been good. Crabs very meaty. Comes with corn and potatoes and zero complaints. Drinkwise, I've stuck to Pepsi or water with a lemon. Nothing fancy, but hits the spot just right. Looking forward to trying out more on the menu soon. Also, the little hard candies they have at the front desk, try one. I forgot the flavor (not mint), but really good on the way out.
Service: Very friendly and attentive staff. Greeted on the way in. Sat down at a table in a timely manner. Drinks come out fast and all the tools you could need provided (bib, gloves, napkins, moist towlette, fork, shell crackers, scissors). Servers were always quick to refill drinks which is a biggie for me. And they were willing to converse a little when asked something.
The decor is fun and full of sea themed decorations. They have TVs, too, for those like me, that like to look around. And it's not just sports on them! They play channels with movies, as well. The entrance is nice and spacious. Seating doesn't feel crammed at all.
So yeah, overall, I'm happy they added a location here in CDA and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Would highly recommend at the very least giving it a try. Also, do you have that friend that really likes to be on their phone all dinner instead of focusing on conversation? Well this is the place for you! The mess that comes with eating the boils is 100% real and prevents phone usage, but is...
Read moreVery disappointed.
Took a party of 20 people there for my daughters birthday in December and almost everyone got food poisoning… pretty sure it was the crawfish. Decided to try it out again this month because I was craving a seafood boil with king crab legs. First of all the meal I chose included king crab legs, snow crab legs and shrimp. I was reluctant to pick this because it was $99.00…. But I decided to splurge for the king crab legs and was going to share the snow crab legs with my daughter. The king crab legs were hit and miss. Definitely disappointed with them (the whole reason we came in the first place). Second my daughter ordered the black and green muscles with crawfish. Not sure exactly why but her whole meal grossed her out. I do know that the crawfish had little red eggs inside and they weren’t like that last time. But anyways our bill came to $165.00, which I felt like was a lot to pay for food that wasn’t good. But we paid our bill and tipped our waitress $30. Our waitress was very concerned with our disappointment and said they would call us when the manager was in again. We received one phone call to let us know the manager wouldn’t be there until the next week and that they would call then. But they never called again. Not sure what they were planning on doing for us. But we will not be going back. The food is not good or...
Read moreThe calamari was the best!!! The experience of everything in a bag, I think kind of takes away. It's really messy to have to dig in the bag that's full of butter. We had expected it to be more like the restaurant in Seattle where they come out and put it on the table. A board would even be better. To me, I don't really get the point of all the seasoning on crab because I don't feel like it gets through to the meat and the butter and all the seasoning make it harder to get to the meat. I did think that it was good though. The corn was way over cooked and mushy so I threw it away and the portions of meat were so good that we didn't touch the potatoes. We also got a fried platter and I really liked the catfish and shrimp. The difference between this place and red lobster? It's a lot messier and your missing a salad and biscuits. I think that you do get more seafood for your dollar though. I haven't looked at Red Lobsters prices lately. The way that the restaurant is decorated is so cute! It was very quiet on a Tuesday evening so hopefully they start getting more customers. I think that we will be back. Just really wish they had more options for vegetables.
We got the 1/2 lb crab, 1/2 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb of green mussels. (That's...
