    crab legs and crab legs in a skillet
    Madi M.

    I can't give them 5. One star out for service. Service was poor. Waiter was not present and not attentive. I had to get up a few times to ask for stuff. One star out for food taste. OVERRATED. I was invited, I would not go again though. The only good thing was fried shrimp but still the batter contained too much spices. Kids meal was mediocre. Fish was over spiced with salty and peppery mix. Not good! Playground, which I can't call it a playground has broken bouncy house. Kids can injury themselves easily, it's called for troubles. Kids were running next to us, throwing ball next to my baby. Not safe. I was ready to leave and not come back. One star to support local business. Otherwise I only would give 2 stars.

    My spouse saw this establishment on a Facebook ad and decided to have us all try it out. While on the way, I decided to call just to ensure this place was in fact open, yet no one answered the phone or Facebook messages. I tried calling a couple of their other locations, and received an error tone when calling. Nonetheless, while it was a drive, it was a rather scenic one which made it seem less than a bit over an hour. Upon arrival, we were only the second family there, so we were naturally a bit uneasy. No one greeted us or asked where we wanted to sit, so we figured it was "seat ourselves". Also upon entering, one of the waitresses was swatting flies against the wall - that was a tad concerning. A bit after sitting down, our waitress came to obtain our drink orders. Upon receipt of drinks, we then ordered our main course and two appetizers - Cajun fries and fried pickles. Both appetizers were extremely small, especially the fried pickles. The pickles were $6.99 and the fries were $3.99. The seafood platter was rather tasty, but before you knew it, the flies were all over our food and drinks. It was rather annoying (and gross) to keep swatting flies while trying to eat. Nonetheless, the platter was seasoned well and overall decent. I asked for the snow crab openers (or something to assist with opening up the tougher areas), but they said they didn't have any since they're always being stolen; they didn't even have a sturdy fork to provide me with (only plastic). The customer service wasn't all that great and the flies were quite annoying. The serving sizes for the price paid for the appetizers was a bit of a downfall as well. Other than these issues, it was a decent experience.

    Fantastic crawfish, great flavor and perfect peel. Ambiance was great with live music! Would definitely recommend getting the spicy garlic flavor!

    Not worth the money. Had the chicken and fries, all of which were greasy and relatively tasteless. Couldn't even eat it all because it just wasn't good. Paid 14.00 including tax and wished afterwards I wouldn't had. Lots of people eating crawfish, maybe it was better that my meal.

    I really like this place! Their boudin balls and crawfish are so good! Darla, Leah & Cindi are all so sweet and attentive! Thank you ladies & all staff!

    We love Busters, and have frequented here for years... love the crawfish. Today I was charged for cups of water. The same price as a soda. When I questioned the waitress she said it was not a mistake and that's what they charge for a cup of water. A small charge to cover the cost of the cup and straws is reasonable, this however is not.

    Plenty of large crawfish, big roll of paper towels, and lined trash bucket!

    We went for Thursdays lunch special. 3 lbs $14.99. They were large and just the right amount of spice! Extra was provided. To me the corn was too spicy so hubby got that and I had the potato. Both of those are extra $. Service was excellent and very attentive. She helped my hubby peel as he has dementia. Nice outside tables, perfect with the current weather!

There is a drive thru if you are in a hurry. They have a lunch special for $9.50, only thing is it's Mon-Thur and I came on my Friday off. They have a few cocktail concoctions; however, they only serve beer and wine so they're wine based. I looked over the menu which is reasonably priced and decided on the blackened catfish (1 filet) with onion rings and red beans and rice. You can choose 2 sauces so I picked tartar and remoulade. I also added an iced tea. Red beans and rice - very watery, should really have drained off most all the liquid before serving this. Good flavor though with plenty of andouille sausage in it. Onion rings - these are pretty good Catfish - this really hit the spot especially when dipping everything in the remoulade. Overall, I liked this place and will return to try other dishes.

The menu was also a good size not overwhelming, but still enough variety to choose from. We made reservations and, although there appeared to be open seating toward the front, we were taken to the back. We ordered Hurricanes, lamb chops and the fried sampler, and I can honestly say the food was delicious. Our waiter was also kind, attentive and took great care of us. Unfortunately, something about the seating began to make me uncomfortable as the evening went on. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the fairer-skinned patrons coming in appeared to be seated toward the front, while guests who looked more like us were being seated toward the back. I obviously can't speak to the restaurant's reasoning or whether there were other factors involved, but once I noticed the pattern, it was difficult for me to ignore. It made me uncomfortable enough that I eventually lost my appetite and couldn't finish my meal. That's unfortunate because the food itself was genuinely good and our waiter did nothing wrong. But the overall experience matters just as much to me as what's on the plate, and I left feeling uneasy about what I observed. Because of that, I personally don't see myself returning to this location.

We had a group of 10 on a Thursday evening and were the only customers on the patio for most of our visit. I want to make it clear that our waitress was excellent. She was attentive, hardworking, and did her best despite being repeatedly let down by the kitchen and management. Several orders were prepared incorrectly. A steak ordered "as rare as possible" arrived medium-well. It was remade, but still was not cooked as requested. My catfish platter was strangely lukewarm, while another guest described her catfish as rubbery. An order of fish and chips arrived without the chips. A pizza ordered with bacon, pepperoni, and onions came with grilled onions that were not requested, and the bacon smelled and tasted off. Another guest ordered loaded potatoes as her entire meal. Without warning, she was charged $8 for what was described as a double portion, even though she never requested a double order. What arrived appeared to be approximately one cup of roasted potatoes and did not look like a double serving or a complete meal. When we asked to speak with a manager, Andi told us that she had to answer to the kitchen manager and could not address the charge. She then said she was busy and walked away without offering a solution. When I attempted to explain the problems from this visit and the previous week, I was told that the owner, Teek, is usually at the newest location except on Tuesdays, is difficult for the staff to reach, and that I would need to find him myself rather than having management take my contact information and request that he call me. Restaurants make mistakes, but repeated incorrect orders, questionable food quality, missing items, unexplained charges, and dismissive management are not a single mistake. They are a pattern. Our waitress deserved much better support, and our group deserved food prepared as ordered and concerns handled professionally. After two bad experiences in a row, Pacific Yard House has permanently lost our business.
