Stopped by for food one evening. It was really eerily quiet and quite grimy as my first impression. It felt like the place needed a good deep clean. Service was ok but we had commented on how slow things were considering there were not many patrons. The day we visited they did not have snow crab which we'd wanted but since we were there, we opted to had Dungeness crab. My daughter did not like the crab; it was not as good as she hoped. The sauce was good. The fries we had were very good. Restroom was pretty grimy. Overall, just a very average place to eat, nothing that would make me want to return.
Great customer service. The food was delicious. I love the cajun french fry. Garlic noodles were good. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. 🌹🌹 Thank you everyone for working very hard. I would definitely come back here.
This is a good place to savour seafood, specifically crabs and different types of shellfish. The ambience is warm and appropriate for the cuisine and the interior sitting space is big enough to accommodate a fair amount of diners. We ordered two types of crab leg preparations, a clam dish and fish fry. All items were good in taste and freshness though I must say that the size of the crab legs has become much smaller and less fleshier since our last visit.
The portions are huge, which is great. On top of that, it was also tasty. Overall, a good value since we had to take home a large doggy bag.
Service is great! Make sure you count your add ons as some of ours were missing but they were really happy to rectify this. Staff are truly amazing. The garlic noodles are good too! Free drink refills too!
