A lot of firsts here: My first time getting alligator and my first experience with seafood boil. Gator first(uncaptioned picture..it shows the caption in the link to "My Pictures" but I can't seem to get it to update within the review): The cliché is true. It really DOES "taste like chicken", more specifically dark meat. The "boom boom" sauce is mayonnaise-based not unlike a remoulade. It comes atop lettuce. It was good but quite pricey at $14 for a small basket. (I am sure that the price is reasonable considering the cost of the meat being used. But unless you have lots of cash onhand don't expect to make that your meal.) The boil can be done in about 6 different "combo" plans ranging in price from $31 to around $48 depending on how much and what types of meat you have in there. My $31 "A" boil (picture 2) had crab legs, shrimp, kielbasa type sausage, several potatoes and a hard boiled egg as an example. You choose one of around 5 or 6 sauces that get put in the boil bag. (You can also get extra sauce on the side but there's a LOT of sauce in the bag. That really feels like overkill to me..) You also choose the spice level ranging from mild to extra hot. A word about spice levels: If your goal is making your forehead sweat, then probably try extra hot. I personally enjoy spice but I'm not necessarily looking to test my taste bud pain threshold. If you just want a good amount of heat that builds slowly "hot" would be the way to go. (That's what I ordered.) Lightweights should be OK below that. A word about garlic: If you're planning on coming for date night and are hoping for romance later in the evening, you might ask them to go a little lighter on it. I was eating alone today so I didn't care. 😄 Lots of delicious, delicious garlic in the boil. If none of the pre-made combos suit your taste, you can build a bag to your specs. If you aren't feeling boil, there are fried seafood options and jambalaya to name a few others. I went on a Thursday around 4PM so I can't say a whole lot about expected wait times since that's a dead time for restaurants in general. I will definitely be back.

Our over all experience was very positive. The appetizers were delicious and honestly the Gator was tender and breaded and fried to the perfect ratio. 10/10 on the Gator. The shrimp and grits were also delicious in flavor, though the grits were just on the line of almost too thick and paste like, and the waxy shedded cheese on top sadly didn't melt in well and just had that fresh from the heat lamp look. But the flavor held up and the shrimp were also tender and not rubbery, would still absolutely order in the future. The crab tots were tasty, and the catfish was huge and robust and the fries golden and a great compliment. Our server was just getting a little pop at once and so there were some understandable times we waited a minute but she stayed up on refills and was tentative. T, did awesome. Ticket time was within expectations and watching all the boil bags go round you can for sure see what the big draw is. The only thing that kept this from a 5 was the disappointment at the the jambalaya, which I see many reviews from others feeling the same. It looks to be a frozen fried rice pre mix peas, carrots,egg, topped with skillet browned sausage and shrimp. We ate it, but a good simmered down one pot, with sausage and pepers and onion and celery would be worth the effort. I hope after so many feeling the same way we can see a different jambalaya start to hit tables in the future. Over all clean, seemingly well maintained store, bathrooms are showing age, but were clean. For sure hit this joint for a boil, and a bit of cajun seasoning to pepper into your normal rotation of restaurants.

Short version: Food rocked! Server sucked. Aquarium in the lobby was pitifuly sad. Details are below. Food: We got the A5 with Cajun sauce and medium heat. It was delicious! Definitely go for the hot heat if you want spicy because the medium was more mild than medium. The cornbread was very dense and more cake like than I expected, but I really enjoyed it! We also ordered the fried oreos to go and they were heavenly. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you're getting! Service: Our server wasn't attentive at all and when we would ask for a refill or a crab cracker, it would be *several* minutes before he returned. The other two servers for the tables near ours were the same way, each of those tables had issues with their order or was frustrated at the lack of attention their table was getting from their own server. Aquarium: There is an approximately 60 gallon fish tank with a bala shark and a rainbow shark. Bala sharks are very social and need a minimum tank size of 125 gallons as they tend to reach 10-12 inches. This shark looked absolutely miserable and needs to be better cared for.

Went at lunchtime during the week, and it wasn't busy at all. Walked in and greeted by host, seated right away. The server was polite and offered to tell us about the menu and her favorites. Nautical theme throughout the restaurant. We ordered, and it came out in less than 15 minutes. They offer gloves, bib, a waste bucket, and endless napkins. The food came out very hot, we had to wait a few minutes before we started to eat. I ordered the A2 bag it had lobster, shrimp, black mussels, sausage, boiled egg, potato, and corn. I got Cajun and garlic flavor medium heat. The Cajun flavor could have been stronger (it was still very good), and the medium heat was no heat (not sure if it wasn't added). Also ordered a side of cornbread. It was a cake texture (moist) and was slightly sweet. There is a bar, and they had a selection of various liquors. There is ample parking, one way in and out, handicap spaces. There is a light next to the restaurant, so easy access to get in and out.

UPDATE:: I decided to give them another shot, and beside my food not having my desired spiciness, it was good. Although the host really didn't do his job. He pointed me to a corner and said pick where you wanna sit and walked away! I had to wait a little while to be serviced, but the food and drinks made the wait worth it. All in all, I enjoyed my recent visit. Prices are getting higher and higher, while the service is getting poorer. I had hair wrapped in my food, sent it back before she even put my food on the table completely. But somehow they remade my bag with all of my additions, in less than 5mins? There's no way, the server didn't even come from the direction of the kitchen SMH at that point I sent that back as well and didn't order anything else. I will not be back!!
