Honestly every aspect was "fine" the menu had some misspellings , the service was slow and not very understood, the chalk boards were not readable (and 4 combos are priced by board)Even the bill wasn't brought to the table, can't say it was because they were buzy (we were the only people there)

AHHHHHHH I LIVE THIS PLACE. The works are so kind and nice. The food is HMMMMMMM ?. This is my go to place ✨??

First time here, nice and clean place. We really love shrimps and the southern combo sauce is really tasty. Definitely will come back with my family.

The food is extremely good! Yesterday I had a pound of the garlic butter shrimp and let me just tell you~ *chefs kiss* ?? With all honesty I was craving for it all night with after a few hours of eating it lol. I really love the food there but it’s not just that, the people there are so warm and friendly. Also if you really love to draw or write they have an option to draw on some walls! it’s a pretty fun bonus~ I would definitely recommend trying it out. :)

Weird experience. Must have only been open a few days. Wait staff seems unsure of menu. We got there b4 2pm but weren't seated until after 2pm so we couldn't order lunch menu. The sauce was just OK. Free bottomless drinks but the food (for how much it cost) was meh. Try crabby crabby in San Leandro

Open on Christmas day! Great options and food taste great:)

I rarely leave reviews but this place felt like such a ripoff that I was still gobsmacked by it several days later. I grew up in the south, and so when I saw lemon pepper as their wing specialty I was willing to pay a premium for something authentic. What I got were 8 small, very basic wings with some cheap dry seasoning sprinkled on top. Ugh. Thats just lazy. I can order plain wings from anywhere and do that. I paid $30 for these wings+ some flavorless garlic fries that tasted like cardboard and a pepsi.Even the pepsi was $3.55 by itself, and youd expect a 20 ounce bottle for that price right? No, its the small 50c can! I paid more for that small can than i wouldve for the 20ounce even at an expensive restaurant. I still cant believe i paid $30 total for what shouldve been a $12-$15 combo anywhere else, drink included. And the waitress, very unfriendly. She didnt smile the entire time and gave me the cold shoulder when i tried to make small talk. Didnt even respond when i left and wished her a good night and luck with the new business. You guys are going to kill any chance of meaningful repeat customers and your business in the process.p.s. Go on youtube and find a lemon pepper WET recipe. You're welcome.

Food was delicious, flavorful, fresh, and came out very quickly. Service was phenomenal. Facility is really nice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Service was excellent,other than that an average seafood restaurant

Soooooo yummy!!! The Cajun seasoning on everything is super good. The employees were very considerate and helpful. They came over to make sure we had enough water, etc. The atmosphere is super fun and cute. They really did amazing with the marine decorations, including a huge, beautiful mural of sea life all over the walls, and cute touches like netting and ropes. It's super clean and nice. For food, we got 2 carb combos to share amongst 6 people, and it was plenty of food. We all ate a ton and also had leftovers. You can't see it in this pic, but in the bottom of the bowl are a bunch of shrimps, clams, etc. and also potatoes. I especially loved the clams and sausage. It's fun to crack open the crab legs and make a mess. They provide bibs. We also got the fried calamari and garlic noodles as appetizers. SO good, especially the garlic noodles. ? Yum!
