Crab it while it's hot — Restaurant in Porterville

Came to try this spot out for lunch. Heard this was a new spot in town and thought I’d try it out. I travel quite a bit and have hit a few seafood boil spots.

There are a few things I’d like to point out which I hope they change.

I usually just get crab, muscles, potatos, corn, sausage. It's not cheap, so we don't go often, but it's no more expensive than any other nice restaurant in town and the food is unique to the area and soooo good.
