For a bucket of raw oysters makes this place the most affordable place to get oysters. With your oysters. You get a bag of crackers and your own personal shucker. We've had the same server the last two times and I'm kicking myself for not knowing her name. But she is awesome. She does a great job of getting all of the oysters out of the shells and record time and she is always chatting with us. In addition to the bucket of oysters, we have also tried the fried oysters and the seafood boil. Fried oysters but the seafood boil was delicious. If you want they also have other menu options if you're not craving oysters. Our last visit I found a big Pearl and one of my oysters which is a rarity. So I felt very lucky. Lucky that I didn't chip my tooth from chomping on it. LOL They do have two types of hot sauces and can give you butter if you'd like some. They also give you horseradish to go with your oysters. Sadly, they did not have any soy sauce. Don't judge. If you're craving oysters at a reasonable price, head down to Lee and Rick's oyster bar. And get there before the rush from the tourists who go to the parks nearby.

Save yourself the trip, Don't Go! We were really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately,…read morethe experience started off terribly. When we arrived, the woman behind the bar didn't greet or even acknowledge us--she was too busy sweeping up. The bartender behind the bar also completely ignored us. We couldn't even get a menu or place an order for food and beer. We stood there waiting to be acknowledged and eventually gave up. Absolutely terrible customer service. If you're not a local, don't expect to feel welcome here. We certainly didn't.

We really love this place. Been here a several times and the service is kind and fast. Seafood is…read morevery fresh and they have a huge selection including shrimp, crabs, oysters, etc. They usually have blue crab which we love. Many restaurants never have it but they do. It's also opened cracked and preseasoned for you so there's less work. The seasoning they use is wonderful and delicious and my son absolutely loves as well. We also really like that they have shrimp pasta and for only 8.99 that's a super deal. Their prices are good and very competitive. Not over priced at all. We usually get the largest combo which is corn potatoes shrimp snow crab blue crab and crawfish and that's around $54 dollars and it absolutely feeds more than 2 because me and my teenage son can't finish it all in one setting. I would definitely recommend and we will return.

It was time for me to find a new seafood place. It was very easy to place an order. They have many…read moredifferent options for seafood, but I knew that we wanted to get crab legs and lobster specifically. The orders looked very good upon opening them up. The food did not taste like it was not fresh or anything. It was actually pretty good. The inside of the restaurant, however, is not a place you can sit and eat. It is just like a little place where you can wait for your food to be made but they don't have tables or anything. It's just some chairs to wait in. This is what I would call a hole in the wall for sure, but their food was pretty good. The only thing I did not like was the corn. It was so soaked up in the oil and seemed like it may have been at the bottom of the barrel because it was very hard and soaked with the oil so when I took a bite into the corn, not only could I barely bite into it but nothing but oil and like hard clumps came out of the corn. The corn had to be discarded. The potatoes were pretty good. They were nice and soft and only some of the crab legs were a little bit overcooked but we would probably come here again.

We like to find new places to eat when we travel, and this came up in our search a few times, so we…read moredecided to check it out. It was 30 minutes from our hotel, so I was hopeful that it wouldn't disappoint! We got there relatively early (20 minutes after they opened for the day), and nobody else was there, so that was kind of awkward, as was being told to order from a kiosk (or use the QR code at the table), rather than give my order to a human. But the kiosk allowed us to kind of 'shop' before making our decision, so that was good. Since we were the only customers, everything came out fast and fresh (in fact, his came out a few minutes before mine, so I had to steal his fries until mine came out, lol) Hubs got the Ultimate Smash Burger and Fries, which was delicious. Soft bun, big burger, delicious fries. I got the Chicken Dippers, and y'all - they were HUGE! And you got SIX of them! Well-seasoned and well-fried, with a flavor that I know I've had before (spice-wise), but I couldn't put my finger on. I ended up only eating two of the tenders, and brought the other 4 home for leftovers. The staff were all super-friendly and attentive. They gave me a box/bag for my leftovers, and bussed our trays when we were done. Seating is ALL tables, so if you're a "Booth Person" you might be bummed. But the seats were comfy, even on a bigger tushie like mine. Paper towels, salt & pepper, and ketchup were on the tables. The only 'con' for me was the hush puppies... it had pieces of corn in it. This is a personal preference, of course, but I like my HPs without pieces of corn or onions, so I didn't ding them for that! Great job to everyone here, everything was delicious. It's on my "Must Go Back" list for next time I'm in the area.

Lol The fried shrimp were cooked perfectly and the cornbread was SO good! Honestly, it was even better the next day when I finished my meal. The mac & cheese was unfortunately pretty bland for me. I was really looking forward to that mac since this was a cheat meal so I definitely wanted more flavor there! I also ordered whiting but they were out. I was disappointed BUT they gave me extra shrimp instead, so I definitely can't complain! The staff was nice and the overall experience was good. I'll definitely be back to try the shrimp scampi, some of their other fish options and more sides. Stonington's, I'll see you again!

But it was a long 15 minutes with traffic and mobs of people walking. Yikes! It is located right next to Titanic exhibit. And we were lucky to get parking right in front. Timing was perfect as we got seated right away. Jackie was our server. She was so nice. We each got the combo you get 2 choices with 1 corn on cob and 1 potato. But we got double snow crab since that is what we went for. I think it was about $14 for half lb. (1 cluster) crab was perfect. Not overcooked or rubbery or dry. I like mine just plain only lemon. But you have a variety to choose from. Butter, garlic butter, Cajun etc By the time we left the place was getting busy. Oh yah they also had a DJ playing some pretty good mixes. A good place to celebrate a special occasion.

Feels somewhat like a small-town diner. The menu has awesome choices, but there's a ton of stuff that is $30+ (several $50+) and I really didn't want to spend that much on lunch. I picked a snapper sandwich with a side caesar & my friend got a shrimp quesadilla. They came out about 10-15 mins later. price seemed a bit high, but i know costs have skyrocketed lately, so them's the breaks. The fish on my sandwich was flavorful - but very dry. Would have been better cooked with some kind of fat. The bread was fluffy & nice, but fell apart right away. The veggies in the sandwich were fresh & bright. The caesar side was amazing. they gave me tartar & ketchup, so i asked for cocktail sauce because ketchup is weird for this. No problem. I didn't even finish half because it was so big! My friend's quesadilla was very tasty, but for some reason, it's an absolute oil slick. So the opposite end of the spectrum lol. She enjoyed it but couldn't finish because it was too greasy. There was a thick layer of oil on the plate and on the quesadilla. The ladies working there are really nice & helpful. They checked on us several times. I paid really fast & they got us out the door in less than 45 minutes! I would love to get some of the fancier stuff sometime, but would probably want to eat it elsewhere, because the diner feel doesn't match how fancy the food is. But overall, great experience with the asterisk being the cooking styles & plain appearance. I thought i got pics but can't find them now, but the presentation was great.

Walking in, I was greeted by a friendly young gentleman. I had placed a to-go order and within minutes, my food was handed to me. I had ordered the grouper with fried rice and vegetable medley and the calamari appetizer. I have to say that both the grouper and calamari were excellent. The fried rice and vegetable medley were also pretty amazing. The prices here are very good. The grouper plate was about twenty-two dollars and the calamari was about eighteen dollars. The quality of the food could definitely rival more expensive restaurants. I will definitely have to return here and I will give it five stars for an incredible meal.

I have been coming here for years now. I would alway try other all you can eat hotpot places in…read moreOrlando but this is definitely the one to beat and the one I keep coming back to. We came here first simply because the cheaper weekday lunch special, but man oh man do the flavors keep me coming back. First off their broths are amazing. You can mix your broths and they are not just flavored water either, you literally get all the herbs and spices poured into your bowl to keep those flavors strong. If you like spice I usually do half curry and half the szechuan broths. They have a bar style to serve the food and the sauces/toppings so no waiting for anything. They even have the noodles on a little track that goes around the seats which is so fun just to grab. In addition to the hot pot menu. They have an extra charge appetizers "extra selections (made when ordered)" menu that contains a hidden gem of this place. The wings!!! All of them are cooked amazingly with a juicy inside but a flavorful crunchy outside. If you do choose this option I would love to give a shout out to the Juicy 2.0 flavor. The last food thing I love about this place is the dessert. They have an ice cream cooler, but not no normal vanilla or chocolate ice cream cups. They have that ice cream selection they you probably remember getting out of an ice cream freezer in the gas station. ice cream sandwiches, those crunchy-on-the-outside popsicle and normal popsicle too. I can always only speak to the staff that received us, but everyone there is very friendly and accommodating. They were happy to explain the various broths and the different menu items especially when it came to the appetizer menu. I said it at the beginning, price-wise this place I'd say is comparable or better. If you are iffy on trying this place as your next hotpot adventure, coming here during the cheaper weekday lunch time is a no brainer with a price that is arguably hard to beat. If you're eating at the normal price, I would still say this place is going to give the best bang for your buck if you are looking for some high quality warm belly feels.

If I could take her back to Charlotte to work for My business I would and the cook was making it happen. I didn't get to eat my food until after it cooled down some because we drove a ways to get there but it was still great and the portions were amazing also. It is a little pricey for my taste but for the friendliness and the food I would pay it again! Their menu is simple which probably is what gives them the freedom to be so consistent. I would say please go see them you won't be disappointed cause I need them to still there be there or be bigger when we come back.

I waited almost 40 minutes for my food, and the place wasn't even busy. The food was overhyped in my opinion. It was basically a container of loaded fries a few over fried chicken bites with 2 or 3 fried shrimp, and it cost almost $35 for the plate. The drinks were about $5 each, and my total came out to around $50, which was definitely not worth it. I left very unsatisfied and would not go back. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The food truck may be a better option.
