    1 lb shrimp
    Reena G.

    We went here for a late lunch. It wasn't as packed. We started off with fried pickles. These were really good and had a kick to them. Of course we came for some shrimp. We ordered two different flavors. The Blu Crab Special season was my favorite which is all the seasons combined. The garlic butter was good but I'll definitely order the Blu Crab season again. Our service was really slow and not as attentive but we had a good time. Will definitely come back for more shrimp!

    Solid 3.5 to be exact. Food was alright, service was great, prices were great especially the drinks! Our server was amazing! I'd give this restaurant an extra star for the service and the restaurant decor was perfect for a seafood joint with country music playing in the background. Reminds me a bit of Nashville except we're eating seafood. Bloody Mary was good and only $4! We ordered a lb of crawfish and a lb of blue crab in hot garlic butter. Very flavorful but nothing spectacular as far as the taste and quality. Crawfish is currently out of season so it tasted as you would expect from out of season frozen crawfish. Blue Crabs were on the drier end but good. The location is very close to where we live so we'll have to come back when it's crawfish season.

    I have driven by this restaurant so many times that I just had to try it bc they boast of having actual blue crabs. The menu was the same as most other crab places I've visited, but what set it apart was an Eastcoast delicacy called Blue Crab. This east coast staple is very hard to come by as most crab places always sell snow, king, Dungeness crab legs. For the record, those of us from the east coast know we just don't eat the legs, the sweetest meat is in the body! Well I was dissatisfied and quite disappointed at the soft shell of the blue crab that served. Not only was the meat over cooked, I asked for garlic butter and all I can say is it was like someone dumped a huge can of minced garlic all over the corn, potato, and crab legs and the split blue crab. You couldn't taste any flavor at all. I had high expectations walking in. However, the concept of a crab boil from the Blue Crab was doused. I'm not sure what the chef/cook thought or how he/she was trained, but who overcooks crab? My crab puffs appetizer was way over cooked and were burnt. Best thing of the night was the mozzarella sticks appetizer. Thinking the food was going to be great, I over spent for mediocre at best seafood. Next time I'll drive all the way to Grand Prairie or Arlington to get better crab. I'll have to settle for not getting blue crabs until I can get home to Maryland!!

    Ok sooo where do I start with this place. (Update: forgot to mention they do use paper straws so good for them) They are trying their best that's for sure but is it enough? The service: services was pretty good. Everyone was more then pleasant. Very kind and sweet as well as attentive for our needs. The place: I like the new change. It used to be Lin's garden or place I forget but it the new make over was much needed. However they are missing the automatic hand cleaner most crab boils have as well as my table ran out of napkins early into the meal and took a minute to get more. We had only been offered one refill the time we were there. The price at it price point we think it was pretty normal considering it is seafood and it tends to be pricy. With that being said the other "error " made me think why did I spend 70 dollars for 2 people at this place. The food : l was surprised ( not in a good way) that we were given paper plates to eat and keep our trash in. This was already troublesome as the food well over filled the 3 paper plates we were given. Once revived ( I had ordered a combo A that has crab and shrimp and lobster ( they were out if lobster) . We ordered the extra hot Louisiana seasoning. It did taste like other places but it was definitely not hot. I chalk that up to me eating lots of spicy food. First think I checked was the potatoes and shrimp to see if they were over done. It looks like they learned from past experiences cause they where just right. However everything has a weird taste to it like if it was previously frozen. I went ahead and asked and other then the blue crab everything was. For its price I expect fresh seafood. I finish the plate but not impressed with the taste. Overall: this place saving grace was the service. Without the kind people working there I would have been extremely disappointed even mad to be honest. I understand this place is new but they need to make lots of changes to maintain customers. To the owner please improve and I will be glade to review the place again. Till then though you are 6 min from my house I will not be returning. Also please get a proper paper towel dispenser for the bathroom I don't want to manually roll paper towel after washing my hands with everyone else also touching it..

    Well first time here as blue carb. I have been here before when it was Chinese buffet. First the place has been completely remodeled. The A/C was colder on one side more than the other. Looking at the menu it was odd. Placed looked like seafood / Cajun restaurant but was playing 80s pop music and menu also had Chinese on it. Strange!!! I ordered a beer and two waters. The beer was not very cold. We ordered gumbo, fried pickles, mini crab puffs, combo a and added 1/2 pound king crab. First thing out was gumbo. It's was really good. Super hot like microwaved. Maybe not. I asked for Louisiana Hot Sauce and the waitress had no idea what I was talking about. She brought over Mexican hot sauce. Had to settle for Tabasco and I don't really like Tabasco. Then the fried pickles and mini crab puffs came out. We was expecting Chinese crab puffs but they were not even close. The pickles was good just your every day frozen ones but good. The mini crab puffs was very good and soft. The crab puffs was like mini crab cakes. Then the seafood Combo A. It had the garlic butter sauce on it because the wife doesn't like spicy. I got a side of Cajun spice to dip mine in. All in all the seafood was better than I expected . The corn needed to be cooked a little longer. All in all not bad for first time. The place was dead. Bartender sat at the bar on her phone and so did the waitress while she was waiting. One of my pet peeves. Would be 4 stars but the waitresses on their phones , the music and no Louisiana Hot Sauce caused a 3 star. How can you have a Cajun restaurant with no Louisiana Hot Sauce!!!! If the owners or managers read this get Louisiana Hot Sauce and I'll be back to update my review. Ps. Change the music to fit the restaurant theme. 80's pop just don't fit and seems way out of place!!!! (Another pet peeve)

    Combo C: crab, shrimp, clams, sausage and corn

    I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money somewhere else where the service and food are worth what you are paying for.

    I've been over a dozen times and every time it's just pure fun and genuine vibes from everybody…read morebasically a non judgement zone live how you live.

    Adult oriented review…read more... Having been an open and active swinger every minute of my adult life, I check out as many swingers "lifestyle" clubs as I possibly can. I love seeing how different clubs in different cities set themselves up. Plus, any excuse to meet new people and play with them is a good reason. My wife had some business things to handle via zoom in the hotel room so I went over to this club myself. I had just visited the one in New Orleans a few days earlier and was excited to check this one out. Of course, there is always the waivers, fees and check in stuff when new at any club. As a single female for the night, they definitely streamlined the process. Single, attractive women that swing are treated like royalty at swing clubs. This club was no different. Once was inside, having forgotten to bring anything to drink, as this club was byob, I found myself alcohol deficient. I had to barter for drinks and had fun making trades. If you get my meaning. I found this club fun, clean and had plenty of attractive, fun and play minded men and women. The staff were all pleasant and I saw nobody pushing nor violating the rules. There was a good mix of ages from mid twenties to people in their sixties. Nobody pressured me nor made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I found four like minded women and really enjoyed their company. I only stayed for about three hours but I really enjoyed it. If I lived in the Dallas area, I'd certainly be a member and spend my Saturday nights there. If swinging is your thing or you just like to watch and enjoy the vibe, this club is for you.
