Bustin' A Gut Maryland Style Seafood Restaurant

Who ever says this food is good has ZERO taste buds in their mouths….. not only did we have to wait over an hour after we ordered and only 3 other tables occupied….. but over priced for 4 shrimp and one cluster of crab legs with no seasoning… this wasn’t even basic….. don’t waste your money… Wal-mart’s frozen section has better seafood…. Maryland style???? Must be a Maryland street in Rocky Mount…..

I recently visited Bustin' A Gut, a new seafood spot, and here are my thoughts from a first-timer's perspective. First Impressions The warm welcome from the associates gives the vibe of a fresh, growing restaurant. It’s nice to see new energy and enthusiasm as you walk in. Ordering Experience The workflow is a bit unconventional: both dine-in and to-go customers share the same line. There isn’t traditional table service, so you order in line after picking up a menu, then find a table yourself and return to place your order. It requires a bit of coordination, especially if you’re dining with a partner. One person can secure a table while the other places the order. Payment is collected upfront, which streamlines the process once you’ve decided on your items. There’s a handy board featurin

Nice atmosphere and customer was great. Food was very tasty and fulfilling. I love the low overhead music playing in the background!

If you’re looking for great seafood in the Rocky Mount area, I highly recommend this place. They’re a bit pricey-however the plates we had were well worth it. But, the presentation comes in a fast food style basket with about a 30 minute wait before it’s brought to your table by robot. Which is neat in itself. My husband ordered their signature dish: the seafood egg roll and said it was great, our son got the broiled shrimp platter and ate every bite, and I got the fried seafood platter and loved it. If you’re passing through Rocky Mount don’t miss this place!

The ordering process could be better than paying then finding a seat or finding a seat then paying. We waited for our food for an hour with no one checking in or explaining the wait. People were served before us that hadn’t waited more than 30 minutes. A table was checked on that hadn’t been there longer than us and received there food before us with their order being wrong. When I received my food I was told they had no tomato 🍅 and they didn’t include the fries 🍟 I ordered with my meal. Horrible service. The only good thing was the young lady that greeted everyone. The picture speaks for itself, and that is how it arrived at the table.
