    We went in at 7pm on a Friday and the doors were locked. We made eye contact with several people inside and no one came to open the door.

    Food was tasty, but we ordered food to go and the sauces were messed up. Be sure to check your order carefully.

    Service was good, atmosphere was great however for the cost of food and the quality did not match. Crab was over cooked and the king crab was the smallest pieces for the price I have ever seen or served in my life. Very disappointing, we will not be back.

    I ordered 1/2 lb Alaskan King crabs with 1/2 lb crawfish and sausages with Cajun jalapeño sauce. I don't hink it was 1/2 lb of the King crab as you can see in the pic. When I ordered Cajun sauce, I did not expect lime/lemon taste. I don't know, but maybe I am used to the southern way of Cajun sauce. My server was awesome. He brought me garlic butter sauce, but it was more sour than the Cajun sauce. He ended up bringing me the plain butter to dip with.
