Wow! How have I not tried this place before!? I was looking for some blue crabs and read some other…read morereviews that were good so I gave Frank's a try and I'm glad I did. I had the blue crabs platter which came with 4 blue crabs, shrimp, potatoes, corn and an egg. I love that the blue crab is cleaned for you. The seasoning on the food is delicious. The blue crabs tasted so fresh and the shrimp were large and of good quality. The butter sauce is magnificent. I am a huge blue crab fan and I loved every bite. I highly recommend and will definitely order from here again. Glad I took a chance on trying a new place.

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.

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.

Sadly, I came here tonight and on the door, it announced that it was "closed permanently." I wish all involved the best of luck in their future endeavors.

When she brought out the (surprise!) slice of (heavenly!) chocolate birthday cake, she also brought 6 forks. We didn't know we were gett (freee!) cake, and we all made good use of our individual forks. Thank you Erica! Good job " making all the people happy all the time" - it's a rough job.

This place has everything you'd expect of a great place to eat. The view, the playground for the…read morekids, the pleasant atmosphere, and the live music, everything 10 out of 10. But they could really improve in the food and the service. Food was just ok. Mahi Mahi was overcooked, wild rice tasted like industrialized food. My wife's steak was good, calamari was ok but the dipping sauce was definitely taken out of a jar bought at the supermarket. Service also needs improvement. Anna was our server, and she didn't smile one single time. And it was a very rushed service, something hard when you have kids. Overall, I might come back to try again because of the beautiful view and live music. And with no expectations for the food.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, the best parts of the meal were the free bread basket at the beginning and our server, who was fantastic from start to finish. The menu had us genuinely excited. Blue crab sweet potato hash sounds like a can't-miss brunch dish, but it arrived surprisingly flat on flavor and desperately needed seasoning. I kept waiting for the "wow" moment that matched the description, and it just never came. The shrimp and grits landed in a similar spot. Not bad by any means, but also not memorable. For a seafood-focused restaurant in Florida, I expected something with a little more personality and punch. The biggest challenge is that the prices set expectations pretty high. With a great staff, a cool concept, and an intriguing menu, I wanted to love it. Instead, I left feeling underwhelmed and wishing the food had lived up to the promise on the page. I'm not sure if there is another visit in my future, especially with the myriad of other great options.

The breading is fresh, seasoned and delicious; the sauce is creamy and fantastic and they put together a great low country boil as well.

They're absolutely worth a try and I proudly say that I am a repeat customer to a business that has the best fried seafood in Orlando.

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!

I do wish they had a little more seasoning, BUT once I dipped them in ranch... no problem. The garlic Parmesan wings were VERY good and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The mac and cheese was also on point, with a little pepper kick in it that gave it extra flavor. Definitely not your bland cafeteria mac. They've got plenty of seating, so it's a good spot to bring the family and actually sit down to enjoy your food. Another plus -- if you're a shrimp lover like me, they offer all-you-can-eat shrimp deals, which is a win. Overall, this was a good location, and I'd definitely come back when I'm in Orlando again.
