    the front of the restaurant
    Jeff W.

    Not the easiest to get to as the entrance is a little hidden. Just turn in at the tall/high sign. Really liked this place. I hope they survive as a lot of restaurants in this location have passed - I'm guessing partly due to the location. I had the Dungeness crab clusters. Awesome! Large, meaty and fresh. Delicious. My wife had the Weekend Special. I had a lot of her shrimp as she couldn't eat it all. My Dad had the Fried Catfish and Fries. Everything was excellent. I would definitely return. My only complaint was that we came early (4:40pm) and the 1/2 price draft beer special started at 5pm. No break was given.

    Made a random choice to stop at this restaurant on a road trip. Excellent food and well-seasoned entree items with great service. Nick was our server and he was great! A great and lively atmosphere which makes it a nice backdrop for a wonderful dining experience. You could tell it wasn't fresh catch seafood but it was almost as good. The market price for king crab legs is ridiculous these days but we had a healthy portion. We fed our son from our plates and the server endured there was a little extra potatoes, shrimp and corn, which made a difference. I felt valued here and appreciated by an excellent staff who do what they do because they enjoy it. Tips to enjoy your time here: 1) Wear the bib and gloves - you're going to need it. 2) Don't wear your Sunday best because if your bib falls off (as mine did), its a balancing act to avoid getting something on your shirt. So, 3) make sure you get that bib tied on securely! What a wonderful evening and exposure to one of Scranton's finest eateries. We will most definitely be back!

    Crab legs

    While eating I noticed the texture was off. Like the food was not cooked properly, or handled properly. I had just assumed it was from being frozen. After leaving the restaurant I began to feel light headed. Within an hour of being home I began to vomit uncontrollably. The facility needs to be investigated. Not my first rodeo with food poisoning. Request a facility Inspection repot be safe!

    I was really in the mood for crabs and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. I walked in and was greeted and asked if I could sit at the bar, which I did. When I sat Nick was my bartender and he was nice. They had happy hour specials but I went with the top-shelf long island iced tea. It was so pretty and tasty. For my meal, I got the Wednesday special of the 1lb headless shrimp and 1/2 lb crab in the cajun sauce. When I dug in it was very good and there was plenty. The bill wasn't too bad and I enjoyed my experience.

    Wanted to try this place since my wife loves crab, it did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Had the lobster bisque which was smooth and tasty, as well as shared appetizers of Hushpuppies and also clam strips, both were tasty, my wife was also really impressed with their cocktail sauce (I prefer tartar). I had the twin 6oz broiled lobster tail dinner which was tender, succulent and sweet. My wife had steamed crab legs which she enjoyed, we also had steamed crawfish and steamed shrimp/ scallops with others at the table, everybody really enjoyed their meals. Have seen other reviews complaining about the prices, but I thought they were fair for what you're getting. We averaged about $30/person. Will definitely be back. It's a fairly new place, give it a try.

    More seafood boils

    I really enjoyed my experience . The poboy catfish was delicious and the sweet potato fries were a nice option. I saw the meals our table was served and they were so appetizing that I came back and ordered a special fish boil with broccoli and corn. They also honor a military discount which is very kind. I have to say that our mild seasoned Cajun boil with the snow crab mussels and shrimp had but more oil or butter and salt than I cared for but it far exceeded my expectations and the service was exceptional from the hostess to the waitress Angela.

    This place is closed permanently. I went there and it's totally vacant and overgrown. They should close the website.

    The staff is great. The food is terrible. I'd never come back. The prices are outrageous also. Don't waste your time or money.

    Visited this relatively new restaurant with some friends on a Friday night. Limited tables indoors…read morebut they do offer outdoor seating. There is plenty of off street parking on the side and to the rear of the restaurant. We had reservations and were promptly seated. Our server (I wish I could recall her name) was fantastic. Very friendly, took out drink order quickly (by the way this is BYOB) and asked us if we wanted to put in an order for appetizers. We ordered the following appetizers: pepper shooters, fried calamari and the pork belly. Salads come with every meal and a nice small charcuterie board is complimentary. My steak came out exactly as I ordered it and was tender, well seasoned and hot when I received it. The chicken was very tasty and always also served hot. I really can't say enough about he server. She was a young darker haired girl with a great personality and very confident when she read us the specials. She even made a few suggestions, all of which were very good. The atmosphere is really nice and bother owners came to our table at the end of the evening. The owners were very cordial and talked to use for a short period of time. I wish the owners the very best of luck but I don't think they'll need it as this is a very well run restaurant. The pricing was very reasonable and overall, an excellent choice for a nice dinner.

    Awful food. Ambience is right out of the 90s. Took a bit to be waited on but server was ok. The…read morebread arrived, it was stale slices of baguette with some dried out old sausage on top. I ordered Marsala with pasta. The veal was cooked perfectly only to be ruined with an awful sauce that was loaded with cornstarch and too much uncooked garlic. It was gloopy and horrible. The server said he wouldn't blame me for sending it back. I guess the chef left and the owner was trying to limp along. Not good.
