Mann, this place is the bomb!!!!! I loveee the all shaking special snow crab boil. Yumm I like as hot as they can get it too. Their Cajun fries are also the bomb as well as the all shaking wings!!!! 🔥🔥 or you can get plain wings and dip it in your bag too. The muscles are always good. This is one of my go to spots and I refuse to get a crab boil anywhere else. The crab legs are always cooked too perfection. Easy to eat

I went here on my bday after work because it was the closest seafood boil place. I didn’t have high expectations for this place but this place made this bday girl very satisfied. My server, Jerry did a good job and had good energy. The crawfish and shrimp was big size. The snow crab legs cracked easily too. Good food, nice location, cute interior. I’ll be coming back.

★★★★★ 5.0 The Truth · Jul 2025

Upon entering we were greeted and approached fast! We didn’t even know where the host came from! I swear he must have dropped out of the ceiling like he was secretly watching us while baby sitting the crabs up there secretly selecting the ones he knew we would choose! It was very slow when we went around lunch time and 2 boil bags of crab and shrimp took about 15 minutes tops! The host was pretty cool and more so a yes and no type of person but we received what we needed I must say. The food was great, in my opinion. The atmosphere is awesome and the decor is pretty cool. I felt like I was at a premier for deadliest catch that airs on TV. This was regarding my most recent visit. I would say run to this place, don’t walk! Check them out. I would tell them to go easy on the garlic though.

I pass by this restaurant in two occasions and I needed to try it, but it was not a good idea. I got a whole pound of crawfish and a half a pound of sausage. EVERYTHING taste old, crawfish is not fresh at all, it’s mushy, even de corn was to hard to bite, the sauce was just the big pieces of garlic- no flavor. I don’t recommend this place. I rather go to the JUICY SEAFOOD IN SANDY SPRINGS! I waste my money and they also took 20 min to give me my order when they were not busy at all. Make sense why seafood in this place is cheap
