Seafood Boil — Restaurant in Dunellen

My bestie and I found this place after a random Google search. You have the option of eating in or taking out. Although the restaurant was very spacious and clean, we opted for take out...she ordered the standard seafood boil with shrimp, mussels and crab legs in a mild garlic seasoning and I ordered the boil that included crawfish, clams, shrimp, and crab legs in a very spicy garlic cajun seasoning. We both wanted sausage but be advised that's an extra cost. Cool although different and $82 dollars later we were on our way. We tore into this seafood when we got home and while it was good, there were a few observations... The very spicy seasoning I requested was mild at best, and left me very curious as to what the hottest seasoning tasted like. You only get one bundle of crab legs with your boil and mine looked like they needed some love before they met their demise. Our potatoes, which were included in the price of the seafood boil, were very soggy...almost like they had been sitting in water for days. My crawfish were definitely frozen and not fresh as they were soft, as well. The extra $4 we paid for sausage wasn't really worth it. The menu says it was for 2 pieces however they pre-slice it and as a card-carrying meat eater I can gaurantee you, that was not 2 pieces of sausages we got.

All in all, it was an okay experience for a 1st time visit but I don't feel like I got $42 worth of food. That's not to say I wouldn't go back - my curiosity on the spice levels will almost demand that I do in the future - but I will check out a few other places before doing...

I didn’t dine in but the choice of the vibe & atmosphere is appropriate & nice for a seafood boil. It’s not bright, it’s not distracting, it’s chill & home-like feeling where you are ready to dine down on some delicious seafood. I had take out instead to celebrate my mother’s birthday. I had ordered 1lb of snow crab legs, king crab legs, frozen crawfish, dozen clams, half pound of shrimp with head on, they do give a bit of corn & potatoes per big order. But I had order extra cause I love that side dish, ordered extra corn on the cob, potatoes, sausages. Got it in medium spicy cause we wanted to taste the flavor, and got the Boom: which is a mix of Lemon Pepper, garlic & Cajun sauce. There wasn’t much butter but if you take it home, add more butter & a bit of sugar, and you got some lip smacking sauce. Everything was so delicious & well-done, great quality overall. My mother loved it, and said next time, we’ll be dining in for sure since the one I had purchased from was close to me. Oh I totally forgot, the oysters!!! Were stupidly delicious, fresh & nice size, it was so juicy, had a bit of an ocean taste, clean taste, provided with some cocktail sauce & lemon. Absolutely...

We just moved to Middlesex city and found this restaurant while driving by. We love seafood and I came with my wife and two kids. We had the #2 combo which is $33. And the amount of seafood in the bag is exceptionally a lot. We were surprised at the amount and the quality. The boil was hot, the sauce (Boom which is all 3 mixed together) was spicy and so good!! The seafood itself was really good and the service was really good! The server was on point and real quick, the place was clean and not crowded. I was also impressed at the amount of pick up orders, which told me one thing people love this place. All in all I give it five stars, and if the owners read this review, I would suggest one thing decorate the place like it’s a seafood restaurant with some kind of art on the walls, or even pictures or prints of boats or fishing equipment or something like that. Good job five stars definitely recommend this will be back with my family. It’s down the street...
