    I went here before and our server and food was amazing so we decided to go again. My friend and I had ordered a pound of snow crab with the medium heat mr diablo sauce and one bite in I could tell something wasn’t right but we weren’t checked on at all so we just decided to stick with it. We could barely enjoy the food because it was so hot and when I started looking I realized we got the jalepeno cajun instead of the flavor we ordered. We tried getting our servers attention and we made eye contact with her several times and she just didn’t come over to us. By the time she checked in we were almost done so we just stuck with it but she tried to argue with us saying it was the right sauce but i could literally see the jalapeno seeds in the sauce so i pointed it out to her and she just argued with me. Instead of arguing back with her I just paid and left. It’s a super nice place and we really enjoy the food it’s just this time the servers were more interested in trying to close at 8 pm instead of checking in to make sure the food is good.

    The house sauce was delicious! The snow crab legs was tough to get the meat out as it was stuck to the shell.

    We went for my Husbands Birthday. This was our first time going. The service was good. We ordered a cup of clam chowder it was delicious. The Garlic bread was delicious. We got two of the Combo boils. I ordered mine with clams as an option which I have ordered from several other places before and never ever have I had so much sand in every bite. Whoever prepped these did not rinse them properly. We did a mix and match on both and perhaps we both picked an awful combo because neither one had great flavor. The crab was literally almost all shells. We were highly disappointed and will probably never go back.

    I felt compelled to write this review because I’m surprised there’s negative ones. First and formost the food was spectacular! No fishy smell AT ALL. And I’m extremely picky when it comes to my seafood. The raw oysters tasted fresh! The shrimp without head is deveined which that’s a HUGE deal for me. If there’s poop in my shrimp I will not eat it. The flavors were spot on and the amount of crab legs and food was amazing! I even got to take some home. Currently eating it now and tastes even better the next day. Served over white rice! Try it!

    Customer service is horrible. Waiter did not check on us to see how the food was or even refills. Only came to give us the check and the food is edible but not all that for the price. Also one thing I did not see in the reviews to give me a heads up you will be automatically charged a tip. We got 2 boil bags, a chicken sandwich meal and 3 sodas. We were charged $20 automatically for tip. There were 3 staff members in uniform chillin at the bar drinking.
