I went here based on the rave reviews from “The Internets” and I was disappointed. Got the all-you-can-eat and my first boil was Snow crab, Scallops, sausage, egg, and potatoes. The sauce was basically grease and salt and a bit of paprika and garlic. The crab legs looked and tasted like they were sitting under a heat lamp too long because not ONE leg meat came out without breaking (I know you are thinking you must not know how to do it…but I have been eating/cooking crab legs since I was 8 and I’m 44!!!) and the crab meat was bland…like when you only cook it in water. the scallops were bland and no seasoning and I got two plates but couldn’t even finish the last one. Logistically its a small place and if you come while they are busy you have to just wait because they obviously aren’t gonna kick any all you can eat patrons out. They were nice and generally attentive and the sweet tea is great! Def fresh brewed! A lot of the food came out wrong/ with things we didn’t ask for or missing things and because they charge you for wasted food you couldn’t just take it had to send it back. But the staff was very pleasant and that was the best...

1st time here. We saw a Facebook reel months ago (the price went up $10, however it was WELL WORTH IT especially for all of the food choices you can get)…

the service was EXCELLENT (we had two male servers, very personable and extremely attentive) the music selection was great, we even had another guest serenading everyone ~ such a beautiful voice) restaurant was very clean and a good size (looked smaller from the outside) the host/owner (?) suggested the flavors to us as we were unsure what to try. we got the house flavor, perfect blend of all the seasonings mixed. The crab was delicious and came out in whole pieces very easily even without using crab crackers. we tried the shrimp, very tender and flavorful.

Anyone who complains about the cost and those who can truly eat a lot is crazy!!! I eat out regularly especially with seafood and this still is a great price at $47. If you do not eat much they have a great menu of buy one get one free deals; either way we...
