    King crab, snow crab, potatoes, shrimp, clams, squid, corn, scallops, sausage in Cajun seasoning.
    Bill L.

    Everything was really good, the food was cooked well and seasoned nicely. The service was excellent, Rachael our server was really helpful explaining to us how the menu worked and the different stuff on it. The ambiance was pretty good also there were large screens to watch and the overall look was really fitting for a seafood restaurant.

    Sundays weekend special and a tiki martini

    I had the Sunday weekend special, flaming style and mild. I could've went medium for a little bit more spice but it was a great meal, the shrimp were cooked perfectly which i was most concerned about but they did amazing! Our server explained everything and the fried calamari app had huge pieces of calamari fried perfectly.

    Live Lobster Special set ablaze
    Jennifer H.

    Possibly the best meal I've ever eaten; best dining experience ever had. Here's why: the devil's in the details. Large comfortable tables w/ everything you possibly need to enjoy a messy feast & not feel gross while doing so (stacks of napkins, wet cloths, lobster bibs, AND textured gloves so you don't ruin your manicure or leave w/ stinky hands). Happy, helpful, waitstaff that act like they wanna be there. Sizable lobster & shrimp cooked perfectly (not water logged or mushy) that rivals meals had in Maine. Crisp broccoli, tender potatoes & corn, (even hard boiled eggs) served in REAL butter sauce (so addictive I was swirling my broccoli in it) Cajun-spiced to a level of your choosing & complimentary garlic bread to sop it up! A generous amount of food at a quality price expertly prepared (served together yet cooked distinctly) enjoyed in an environment that doesn't stink of seafood nor bleach. Think of everything you dislike about eating seafood out- Flaming Crab has improved upon it. Place was packed! Couldn't figure HOW they executed such a quality experience w/ the volume of people there. Did I mention they set your meal on fire? AND pack your leftovers in boil bags to reheat next day.

    King Crab Special!
    Christopher R.

    Lobster Bisque Soup was absolutely delicious! Little more chunky lobster bits would be amazing! Syn provided great service! On point throughout the entire meal. The bread with oil and garlic give was a great starter to munch on while you wait! The flames is what really makes it an experience! Sometimes however too fast of a kitchen is a bad thing. Need the delay to enjoy the food and not feel rushed through your meal courses. Hushpuppies on point and fresh! I gotta say your bussers tag teaming these tables talk about the hustle! Great Service!

    Weekend Special Crab legs, lobster and shrimp

    The food was amazing and they had a great weekend special 39.99 for crab legs lobster and shrimp you can't beat that. If you want to add to it that's your choice, but that was all I needed. The restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. Our waitress was very professional and cheery. She made sure we was ok throughout our dinning experience.

    I chose this place on the recommendation of a family member. They had not been here but, had wanted to get some seafood boils. I decided to give it a shot. I'm not a pick-through-your-food kinda guy. But, all my family loves the whole experience. It was a Tuesday. It was very slow when we arrived - around 5:30-ish. Everyone was friendly. Mechanical - which is not a good thing. This is what happened... The place is visually appealing. The decor is apropos. The bathrooms are clean. There's plenty of parking. Tables at booths are free-standing so they move back and forth for comfort. This is a plus for comfort. They have a Full bar. My mother enjoyed her cocktail - Peach Sangria Lobster Bisque was the consistency of coagulated milk. A pink-ish pudding with a slight lobster-y taste but had no actual sign of any lobster chunks or pieces anywhere to be seen. Truth be told it was priced for what it was. It just wasn't very good. The garlic bread - Toasted bread that looks torn not sliced then drenched in their version of garlic butter was truly very tasty. It is pretty damned good! Truly. I ordered a large order of raw oysters. They were perfect in size. The plating was as expected and it was served with horseradish and cocktail sauce. I love the briny taste of raw clams, oysters, etc. For whatever reason these lacked it. But, I would order these again. I would ask that they not rinse the oysters before presenting them or rinse them in a salty briny solution to save their natural taste. I would get them again - if I were to return. Mom got a boil that consisted of King Crab Legs, Snow Crab Legs and Shrimp. The broth was tasty. But, the seafood lacked the flavor. Not sure how that happened except to say the seafood might've been cooked separately then added before the dish left the kitchen. I have prepped boils and never experienced that. One thing that bothered me - and it happens in many restaurants because servers don't understand that the WHOLE experience is important not just placing an order and collecting the check and tip. As a server you are to TIME the courses so the guests don't feel rushed or ignored. It really does annoy me. And the tip suffers. We were in the middle of the appetizers and she brought out the boil. I told the server to take the food back until we asked. They didn't keeping warm. It came out colder than it should have. The tip suffered. She still got a 20% tip. Yeah - I'm a good tipper if the experience calls for it. The "extra $" sauce I ordered wasn't as good. The meal came with a few red potatoes and a small cob of corn. I added broccoli which was great!! And it cost more. It was Tender and garlicky. We usually get some desserts to go - but, we decided to skip it. Anyway. This was MY experience. If I return - I will try something else. Not sure what. If I return I will update this review. Check it out and share your experience. Happy grubbing folks.

    Found this surprise of a restaurant with an interesting name while out shopping. Was greeted with a wall that looked like an aquarium! It was so cool! The waitress was super helpful with suggestions on the menu! Had oysters and catfish! The music was just right, had me bopping my head while eating!

    Food was fabulous Service was fabulous Ambience was fabulous My family took me here for my birthday. EVERYTHING was fantastic. The chocolate cake is to die for! Don't pass this place by. Give it a try. You will NOT be disappointed. If I could give a 10, I WOULD!!!

    I went with the #1 yelp recommendation in the area. I am not sure I would give it #1 status but it was bad. I was seated quickly and was able to order quick. The wait staff was very nice. There was a high school volleyball on 2 TVs which was interesting. It made for an interesting atmosphere since it didn't look like anyone cared about the game. The lobster bisque was very good. I ordered a glass of white wine with my meal. For dinner I had the shrimp po'boy with onion rings. A ton of food. The sandwich is a lot of bread and the rings were just ok. Overall not bad restaurant but I will more than like not return.

    The crab legs were expensive and Tiny and they didn't even have the proper Seafood Forks to get the bits out. The service was good.

We started off with their fresh bread & olive oil mix and it was fantastic. Then we moved on to the Chile Lime Shrimp appetizer with coconut rice which was amazing too.

The short ribs tasted like they were done in a red wine base & the pasta sauce was a delicious light marinara. We finished off with a Vanilla Creme Brûlée.

Dessert was awesome as well. Atmosphere was modern, yet a bit retro - you can tell the restaurant reuses an existing building. All-in-all a 5-star experience - when back in the area, we will be sure to seek out Kevin's!

Now they do not have any type of specialty pies, so I did the B.Y.O.P. That's short for build your own pizza, I did onions, sausage, bacon, and pineapple. Before anyone goes judging me pineapple tastes awesome on a pizza. I had a cup of the broccoli and cheddar soup which was really good too. Now being here for the first time is that it's a nice welcoming place, the service was good, they were so busy they had to open up their back room. For those local if I believe I am correct Norm himself started out making pizza and was the head pizza cook for Tommy's Pizza in Kingston who went out on his own. I do recommend everyone to come out and try this place if you are a newbie like me.

    This review is based solely on their pizza…read more I went there for a pie a few times. I feel I now have enough to actually write a review. It's a good pizza. It's very traditional (nothing fancy), thing, and a great base for toppings and spices to add on. Keep in mind that the sauce has very little to no salt. My wife said that the old owners did this due to wanting a pizza that they could enjoy as they both had high blood pressure. Overall, it's a good pizza. Personally, I would want it cooked a tiny bit longer due to me liking a more crisp style, but that's just me. I'm pretty sure you can ask ahead of time to keep it in a bit longer. The service is always fine. They usually stand and talk to customers, which is cool if you like the social interaction. It's hard for me to do it anymore due to my son being such a terror, but they still try. They are usually very attentive and helpful, as well. The inside looks old, which is nice and not a bad thing. The pictures on the walls of the dining area do not fit anything. They're like old black bar memes from the late 00's. Maybe pictures of their food or staff working or even pictures of family having a good time. The male bathroom looks like it was not cleaned in a very long time. They do not have changing tables in there, either. So, changing him on the floor was gross. Thankfully, I had a changing mat. Urinals had crusted urine, and these are lunch time visits which means it was definitely left on overnight. I did not look at anything else to see if it was sanitary. Overall, though, a good pizza place.
