They say they are open until 7pm, but when I arrived at 5:43pm, the door was locked, and the 3 employees inside shoo'd me away. I continued to try to ask why they were closing up, and pointed at the sign on the door saying 7pm, but rather than communicate to me - literally trying to give them money- they just continued to shoo me away. When I pulled out my phone to take a photo of the sign on the door and the two employees inside ignoring me, they both (asian and black guy) ducked away to not be photographed. If that's the kind of employees you have, i would NEVER trust them to safely handle seafood. Now i believe the other reviews saying they found worms in the fish and were ignored by the staff and not helped!

We were pleasantly shocked a few weeks ago, when we finally decided to visit and give them a try. This business has been operating for a few years, but we never realized that their menu offers "to go" options.

The decor is your typical seafood boil decor. I loved the fish hanging from the ceilings. Our server was Jody and she alone deserves 5 stars. She was so amazing and took great care of us. If we come back I will request her each time. The Food: we had a big group so everyone ordered a variety of things. I opted for a few things off the appetizer menu. I ordered the Fried Scallops which came with 6 scallops, the Hushpuppies which came with 10 hushpuppies and a cinnamon butter dip, and lastly I ordered the the Fried Shrimp which came with 10 shrimps and cocktail sauce. Everything was pretty good. The scallops were my least favorite, I was not a fan of the chewiness, but dipped in some tartar sauce they were not that bad. I also did not like the small portion of scallops for the price. The hushpuppies were amazing! They had a delicious taste and also had chunks of corn in it which I loved. The corn wasn't too chunky and blended perfectly with the breading. The cinnamon butter dip that came with it added a nice sweet touch but I honestly preferred them by itself. The shrimp were nice and chunky and battered to perfection. I would say the shrimp did lack flavor on the breading, but I ordered a side of Cajun sauce and mixed it with the tartar sauce and that really elevated the shrimp. Everyone else really enjoyed their food. Some people ordered seafood bags and were very pleased with their portions and taste. We even had a birthday cake that Jody was so gracious to store for us until it was time to eat it. Very glad I got a chance to try out Yummi Crab, we will definitely be back when we are craving seafood or Jody's great customer service.

Every so often you have to take a scroll back and see if anything new has been added to the menus. Not sure if this is new, but it's definitely something I haven't tried. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp along with the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy platter and Hush Puppies. The Bang Bang Shrimp sauce was different from what we had tasted before, but it was good. I was looking for a sweeter taste but again, it still had a great taste. It came on a bed of lettuce. The Shrimp Po' Boy platter came with French Fries. The fries were crunchy and delicious! Matter of fact, they were perfect:) The Shrimp Po' Boy was good and simple. It didn't have a lot of stuff on it, which was cool for me. Again, the sauce was okay but the shrimp and fixings were delightful. These Hush puppies are always good, so no complaints there. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is a place I recommend. I will be back soon:)

I took it as a good sign that the phone was ringing off the hook and patrons were coming in and out constantly. Once the food arrived, however, all concerns faded away...#yum. While Garners doesn't offer the same variety of combos that other seafood boil venues, you can choose a 1/2 order of *any* seafood. This allows for a variety of seasonings and add ons (i.e., they don't throw it all in the same bag) providing myriad ways to customize. I was very happy with my mussels and shrimp; seasoning was solid. I'm not a fan of the Styrofoam containers with all that liquid, but to each their own. The wings were nothing to rave about; breaded and lightly sauced. *A note on heat: The employee taking my order at the register suggests no hotter than a 3 on their 5 point scale. As one who completes the BWW Blazin' Challenge on a whim, I wasn't nervous about going higher, but every cajun boil interprets this scale differently. In the end, I could have handled a 4...maybe a 5 if I wanted to sweat, but I was happy with the 3.

You probably have to ask for it. 2. They don't automatically include napkins or cutlery. Keep this in mind if you're going to a park or something with your meal. 3. The bread is put in with the fish in the container, so it'll get soggy by the time you get home or other destination. They don't put the bread in a separate baggie like Palmetto Seafood. North Main offers fresh fish at prices better than a supermarket. If you get fresh fish, they'll clean it and can cook it for you also. It isn't Clifton, but it's certainly worth your visit.
