    Stopped by Big T’s Seafood Bar with a friend the other night, and honestly, it was such a fun surprise. I wasn’t planning on having a “big seafood evening,” but the moment the plates started coming out, I was fully on board. We tried a mix of shrimp, oysters, and a couple of sides — everything tasted fresh, seasoned just right, and came out piping hot. The portions were bigger than I expected too, which I appreciate when it comes to seafood (nothing worse than tiny plates for big prices — not the case here). Service was warm and easygoing, the kind where you feel like they actually enjoy having people there. The space itself is casual, a little loud, but in that lively, everyone’s-having-a-good-time way. Not a “sit quietly with a book” spot — more of a “laugh with friends over food” kind of place, which fit the night perfectly. Only thing I’d tweak is the lighting — the designer in me always wishes for a touch more warmth or character — but that’s me being picky. Overall, really solid seafood, friendly people, and a relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely be back when I’m craving something fresh and messy in the best way 🦀💛

    They were really accommodating by making seafood for me without butter and rinsing the grill (I have butter / milk allergy). The seafood portions were awesome and the lady here was really nice. Thanks!
