The boiled shrimp were a little different than I'm used to but still had a good taste and the butter added a nice touch. The price was pretty good for the amount of food and the quality. Nothing was wrong at all..I just don't give 5 stars unless it's absolutely awesome. I will be back though!

When they first opened up I wasn't impressed because when I ordered there shrimp platter they did have cajun butter sauce, all the had was melted butter, so I did not go back for while. However, I went back a week ago and notice they have cajun butter sauce now. So I decided to give them a another try,. Let's just say I am glad I did. I order the shrimp platter again and asked for the cajun butter sauce, it was is superb. The best cajun butter I had in a long time. The shrimp were easy to peel. The corn and potatoes was also good. I will be going back

Wow! Best boiled shrimp I’ve had on the coast. I’ve been here 8 years. I also had corn, potatoes, and egg. Everything was so flavorful with that house special seasoning! I ordered door dash and received my food still hot..10/10

The neck bones and rice was seasoned perfectly. You could actually eat the rice by itself. The platter of crabs, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and sausage was delicious. Perfectly seasoned with the right amount of spice. I wanted to see the cook. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. 5 out 5 stars for me.

Great seafood. The fried shrimp, oyster and catfish are done right. The hush puppies and fried okra is good as well. Large portions and friendly staff. Definitely 10/10. The catfish platter with shrimp for 11.99 is a great deal.
