Flavored seafood boil, we liked it. Stopped by Portland to get food, after viewing many seafood restaurants, we finally selected the cajun seafood boil. Very worth the money, clean environment, good amount of food, fresh oysters, salad was so so though.

It was a fantastic experience to have a lunch with family at great wall restaurant. Service was prompt and quick. Staff was vigilant and caring. Food I must appreciate. One of the best seafood buffet in the area. I recommend to all sea food lovers to visit this amazing place.

We visited the place when visiting our hometown to celebrate our little one's birthday with her grandparents (who only venture out in lunch). Given my parents are very controlled and choosy diners, and the mere fact that they loved it, says it all. Excellent service as well. The staff even assisted my parents to and from the parking. The food was great too. Triple milk chocolate cake in the end was icing on the top. 06 Nov 2020 - We just cannot miss this place enough - as the pictures of this lunch (not the food - the occasion) keep popping up on my Iphone feed - and we would love to go back. This unfortunately happened to be the last event/ dining experience with my Dad who passed away earlier this year. So lots of good memories for this place - and great respect for making it a lovely experience for him and all of us then. All the very best guys.

This place has the best seafood boil in the bags EVER!! It was so good I ate twice in one week by doing takeout. The fact that they have different level of spiciness ? ?!! Trust me the pictures does it boo justice #TravelingCNA

Awesome! Such a wonderful experience here. So excited to have a seafood boil bag spot in Portland! Food was amazing! Dungeness crab boil (house special blend is excellent) and fried shrimp basket with Cajun fries scratched an itch I’d had for several years. Our host Jason was great as well, much appreciated Sir! Thank you all and will be looking forward to next visit!

This location did not let me down. Everything was well-packaged, and their cuisine was very spicy. Noodles with garlic are a must! It had a chewy texture and a lot of freshly chopped garlic. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the crawfish, despite being frozen, tasted fresh.

My boyfriend and I decided to stop into the shaking crab tonight, and walked out speechless not because of how amazing the experience was because this was the worst experience. As a server myself as well as my boyfriend, never once have I experienced this kind of service. As soon as we walked in we got greeted by the manager who was very sweet and welcoming but we were glared at by one of the waitress (Isabell) extremely rude the entire time there. Didn’t ask about how the food was till the end of the meal, couldn’t refill my boyfriends water, was walking around with AirPods in instead of attending to her tables, had a snobby attitude with all of her other tables as well sadly the table behind us was also speaking about how poorly she was. Very disappointed because the food is amazing and have never had this experience there before.

I completely forgot to take pics, but we bought combo three, which was very delicious. The crab legs and fish were both plump and huge. The seasoning was also excellent. The tablecloths, bibs, and gloves are the only things that could have been wonderful. Overall, it was enjoyable!

This is located in what was once a buggaboo creek steakhouse, then the tilted kilt. It hasn't changed much inside other than the kitch all over the walls being nets, shells, fake crabs and all sorts of cheap nautical decorations. The drink list is fun but the house cocktails are super syrupy sweet. My friends weren't huge fans. I liked my tropical two person bowl, it did the trick. The food was expensive. I like to pick all the meat out of my lobster before I eat it, so when I ordered $50 for half a pound of crawfish and half pound of snow crab I went to work and picked everything clean before I ate, when I was done there was less meat in that entire pound than you'd get out of your average 1 and a quarter pound lobster but a lot more work and not nearly as delicious. That's a lot of money and trouble for less meat than than fill up a hot dog roll. I felt the need to try this place because it's something novel and new, it is an experience, but don't expect a feast, they threw in a half ear of over cooked corn on the cob and two whole red potatoes. I won't be back but at least I can say I rocked it before I knocked it.

The service was fantastic.Very good food. The hush puppies were amazing, and the boil choices were great.
