Very tasty! I was the odd one out who doesn't love seafood, but I'll eat the sausage, corn, rice and potatoes in the mix! We had 4 people in our party, ordered a 1 1/2 lb snow crab, 1 1/2lb shrimp, 3 cups of rice, 4 corn cobbs, 1lb sausage and a order of the potatoes and it fed us all very well. Including tip it was $140. Service was great, kept our drinks full, and the food was very good! Love the house sauce mix! Will def come back again!

The service was great and the atmosphere was cute. I think the food was sub par and the prices were outrageous. The small lobster tail alone was 19.99. No sides, just the tail. With the corn cob and tea it was about $32 after tax. For that price at the Outback you get 2 big tails, 2 sides, bread and it tastes better. The shrimp were advertised as 1 pound ($20) but doesn't specify that that includes the heads, tails, sauce and shells. For three people after tax, 2 sodas, 1 beer, 2 lobster tails, 1 pound of shrimp and 3 corn cobs and $20 tip we spent $140 and we all left hungry. Had to stop by taco bell on the way home. If you have an unlimited budget and like how they put the buckets of food on the paper on the table (that was a different option we didn't get it) I think you will like this place. It got kinda busy at lunch so people do like seem to like it here.

I’ve only been here once but it was amazing! The price is more on the expensive side but that is expected because it’s crab legs. They did forget our corn but they didn’t charge us which was nice of them. Next time I come here I’m hoping to try more food items. The sauce that goes on the crabs is delicious, perfect amount of seasoning and everything.

This is a fun place to eat. Pick the seafood and extra you want. Pick the sauces and the heat level. They bring back the boiled selection and dump it on the table for all to eat. You use your hands and it can be messy. I've learned not to wear long sleeves when eating here and definitely use the bib.

The servers were completely unfriendly. There was a playoff football game on. The Tv was already on ESPN ( boxing) they refused to be bothered to change the channel when asked. No soy sauce for rice. The shrimp was over cooked . I felt like they were serving the food they offer with no consideration for the customers. Worst service EVER. I was a waitress for 17 years that was not service? And you walk out with a $130 bill.?

It was our 1st time there and I was a little disappointed. The battered Cod was a frozen product The chicken wings were super salty and over fried. And unfortunately the shrimp we got was really hard to peel. It was fun the kids enjoyed the food being dumped on the table but for the price we payed and the quality of food we probably will not go back. The service was awesome but I give the food a C- at best

Always a great time dining there. Always get to go orders as well. Delicious food. House style mild is the safe bet, if you like spicy, house style hot!

First and definitely the last time I will eat there. I am always in search of great fish and Chips. Portions were good, quality was poor (fish should not be chewy ) they don't have malts vinegar. They don't have regular ice tea. Fries cost extra. Was not impressed

Prices were way beyond value. I told my wife I'd rather take here to the coast for dinner than go back here. Its not that the food was bad it actually is pretty good just not worth the prices.

Extremely satisfying dinner for us... We ordered the 2-3 person meal, which was crab legs, corn on the cob, prawns, mussels and cajun seasoned fries... Spectacular!!!!!!••
