Now I know why this place got a 4.8 rate, the food is good. Seafood fresh, crabs are sweet, and the serve is on point....Yes, the outside needs some improvements, but I'm not eating outside anyway...don't let looks turn you away from good food and great serves...this place deserves a 4.9 rating now...

This spot is a hidden gem! I recently visited the live crawfish and seafood restaurant, and everything was so fresh and full of flavor. The fried calamari was seasoned to perfection, and the crab legs were cooked just right. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and the vibe was laid-back and fun—perfect for enjoying a good seafood feast. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing more people with me next time!

To the person who said the outside is deceiving—thank you! I went to this place thinking it was a different branch and my goodness am I glad I went inside. It was a rainy day but inside was clean, the music was going and OMG the food! The mussels, freshest I’ve ever had in a boil, the shrimp NOT overcooked, best I’ve had in a boil and the lobster tail was soft and perfectly cooked. If I had to give them any kind of constructive feedback, I’d love some more sauce flavors but the bases they have are good and didn’t over do the sweet taste of the seafood. Ohh and the pick you own—very affordable. I will be back and I hope everyone who reads this gets to go as well.

This place has great food and great prices. We had crawfish, snow crab, sausage potatoes corn on the cob. Overall we would definitely eat there again. It is a small place to be patient and get ready to fill up!

Our server was amazing, she went above and beyond to take care of us. The food was also fantastic for really reasonable prices. Don't skip out on the snow crab!

Love this place. I was certain I'd posted a review previously. The staff is always attentive. Seafood must be a tough gig in light of shortages. We always love the snow crab. We'll let the locals enjoy the blue crab. Hush puppies and begneits are a must have.

The outside of the building is deceiving and needs a little upgrading. The inside is nice and the food was very delicious! The crab legs and shrimp were big!! We were the only ones during lunch hours so it was a very quiet place. I definitely will be visiting this place if I go back to VA!

Talk about a surprise. My expectation from the outside view driving past this place versus the food and service I received were completely different. This is a simple, bare bones kind of restaurant, but the food was so very good! Definitely stop in for a seafood boil if you're in the area
