Food was mediocre at best. the fish and shrimp basket was full of fries only about 1/2 of a small fish and four shrimp the batter had too much flower and not enough cornmeal if any, the hush puppies were disappointing. The Gumbo wasn't bad but would have been better if they had known Gumbo is a one pot kind of soup meaning the only thing your supposed to add after cooking Gumbo is rice and fille. They added shrimp because I ordered a bowl of Gumbo they cooked the shrimp separately and put them into the Gumbo while serving it. Gumbo is supposed to be a mixture of flavors cooked together served over rice.

Delicious and well worth the money! Fish and shrimp so fresh, everything piping hot, great clam chowder; and staff really wants you to be happy! Take your time with the menu, ask questions, then dig in! LOVED IT, going back next week and taking friends!

Walking in they had a wait. It didn't take long. The server was busy AF but she did a great job. Everything was great, no lie. Until I noticed my lobster bisque had fake lobster in it. It had imitation crab meat. When I confronted the owner all he had to say was it came from Maine. Sure buddy. Be a man and say it's fake crab ur selling to your guest. I definitely would recommend this place but don't order the fake lobster bisque that comes from Maine?!!!!! I also just saw a review that was 7 months ago with the same issue of having fake bisque and they are still selling fake lobster bisque!! Seriously disappointing!!!

My hubby and I really enjoyed our boil. We had the spicy which was just fine, not too spicy not too mild, great flavor. Very g good service as well. We’ll be back for sure.

Service was good and quick, even on Mother's day. I ordered the catfish and fries basket, it was ok, not outstanding. The lobster bisque was excellent. My friend ordered the shrimp and sausage platter, it comes in a steamy platter. I tasted it, not impressed. I'm not exactly a seafood expert, living in the desert, but maybe seafood experts might like this.

beautiful atmosphere, staff very friendly, food was delicious. ??

If I could rate this place a 20/10 I would! Atmosphere was calm & quiet! Food was AMAZING. Server was attentive & very polite! The restaurant itself is modern & nice. Food also came out within 15 minutes. Definitely not a FL or GA boil but I’m very impressed for it being a Texas boil! Prices are also definitely affordable.

First time for me. It was a great experience the atmosphere is really cool set up. The food was delicious had shrimp, lobster tail and crawfish.

Overall delicious very polite staff great fast service I recommend 100%

Such a great deal on boils! Their house blend is great.. even better when ordered hot. They got just about everything you need for that shellfish craving.. #nomzthatish #yuppers #mmmmmhmmm
