I had never heard of this place until someone brought me here for a birthday dinner but wow was everything amazing!! Service was wonderful and the staff was very attentive. The menu changes daily and the options left me so indecisive with all the tasty options! Very laid back environment which I love and the food was phenomenal as well as reasonably priced. Only waited for about 30 min on a Sunday night so not bad at all. Will be back for sure!

Good neighborhood seafood bar & grill. Very busy on the weekends, but the waiters work quickly to get your food out. Seafood boils are good, they give you extra seasonings to add if needed. Would visit again!

One of our new favorite restaurants. Food is awesome and reasonably priced. My 5yr old, 8yr old and both adults loved it. I was a little disappointed when I saw the blackened catfish, it didn't look blackened enough. But then I wondered why it tasted so darn good. Among the best black cat I've ever had. Service was good. Host stand was very good with my kids. We have to go back, not only because it was a great experience, but my kid's art is now on display.

This was tough. I had been wanting to try this place for a few years now. I had heard good things. When we got there we were seated right away. The host was great. The server took our appetizer order. Then he came back 10 minutes later to take our food order. Our food came out about 15 minutes later but still no appetizer. We ordered the Alfredo and it tasted really good but it was like soup. Still 30 minutes after we got our meal, no appetizer. We could see it sitting in the window for 20 minutes. They finally realized and made us a fresh sampler. But then they took the one that had been sitting there and put it in a Togo order. Also our server took his lunch next to us and was shoveling French fries into his mouth , getting his fingers in there with them. Then he went right back to work. Never washed his hands. I will not go back unfortunately.

I am not a seafood person, but they have some decent non-seafood options.Pickle chips were extra salty, pork rinds are good.Chicken fried rice had a lot of oil but good flavors especially with spicy mayo on the top.Fishbowl style drinks are pretty good too. The bartenders are amazing.

The store is clean, a bit different than other seafood place. Oyster were fresh and food came quick. I notice everything serve with the same dipping sauce. A but pricey for comparing to the quality of food I’m getting. The staffs are friendly, they also have option to buy drinks for kitchen staffs! Overall, good place if you’re around the area otherwise there are definitely better options out there.

So glad Flaming Joe’s is back open!!! Best Pho and fried rice on the planet! It’s so hard to choose between that or the Cajun seafood boils, can’t go wrong either way. And Brendon was the best server today, excellent service! And when you’re there, buy a round of beers for the staff ?. Our “go to” for eating out in Aurora

Branden & Tiffany WERE AMAZING!!! I have never had service the way they delivered it to me. They were so friendly and ready for all of our questions on our first visit I just loved it. I will be back for Mardi Gras weekend BECAUSE OF THEM and the GREAT FOOD!!! Thanks

I have given this place about five tries, all of which leave me wondering why I come back. The service is incredibly slow, and when I say that, I mean expect to be here for over an hour with 45 minutes sitting around waiting for food and waiting for your server to even check on you. Their gumbo is basically roux and rice with no actual meat, it's really disappointing as typically a place that advertises themselves as a seafood boil restaurant should have a good basic gumbo down. This place skimps on service and food, not super sure how they're rated 4.0 but I am sure it won't last long. I will say it's gotten progressively worse and considering COVID has been around for going on two years, that's not an actual excuse.

Had a issue with my drink server explained to the bartender and apparently she had an issue and spoke loud enough to where we can hear her at our table. Employees shouldn't be talking bad about the customers while they are still dining. I like to have drinks and food that I enjoy.
