7/6/26-We’ve driven by this place many times but always ended up going to our usual seafood boil spots. Trying a new place can be a gamble when you’re really craving seafood, but after reading so many great reviews, we finally decided to give it a try. I’m glad we did! The restaurant was clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful, and our food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. It definitely lived up to the hype, and we’ll absolutely be back!

Extremely let down given all the great ratings. The sauce was completely flat and overwhelmingly salty—no butter or garlic flavor, and none of the rich Cajun spices you’d expect. On top of that, the ingredients weren't fresh at all; many of the mussels were dead. Easily the worst Cajun seafood I’ve had compared to other local places. Service is fine, not special and not so good. Atmosphere- mid.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We ordered a variety of items, including crab clusters, shrimp, and sausage with Cajun sauce (and much more across our party). Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted great. We were treated so well by the person serving us. He was very attentive to each person in our large party, and funny too! Great experience, our family will most certainly be back.

Aloha All: this place is amazing. First time here and the Cajun spice was amazing . I had the combo C and it came with snow crab which was so sweet and delicious, shrimp , potato’s, sausage and corn on the Cobb— let’s just say this is my favorite seafood boil place I ever been. The service was also very good, friendly and inviting . They like to make sure you’re enjoying your self. And you have to try their fried rice, it has a flavor I have never had before and it made me want more. Please stop by and say hi and enjoy.
