We were given a thermocol plate with a plastic fork. The server did not even remove the steaming boil from its plastic bag. The seafood was served wrapped in plastic. When we asked for crab crackers, we were told they didn't have any and were handed plastic scissors instead. The server also never offered a beverage menu, which is standard at other outlets. The two stars are entirely for the taste of the food. Actually eating it was a nightmare. I would not return, and I would not recommend this place to anyone, primarily on safety grounds.

Hmm, where to start. I ordered 2lbs of snow crab legs with sausage. When I opened the tray I had 2…read moreclusters of snow crab not 2lbs and no sausage. When I went to opening the crab legs there was no meat in them. If they would've weighted it which I assumed they did, they would've realized I wasn't receiving 2lbs of snow crab more like a pound of shell. A whole leg came with a half knuckle size of meat. Maybe they overcooked it, i dont know. They also wouldn't put any of the juice or boil in a separate container for dipping the crab meat. Most establishments charge you for sauce on the side which I was willing to pay for but the lady behind the counter refused. It was a very disappointing experience, and honestly they probably got these snow crab from a Costco or wherever they sell them in stores. If people are paying money for snow crab please ensure the snow crab has meat in them.

This place not only sells seafood [muscles, clams, crawfish, crab, King Crab, lobster, and of course SHRIMP] they will steam and bake your goodies too! Sorry but there's no grease in this joint not even a french fry - if you want it fried go across the street. An added bonus is that their meals come with steamed red potatoes, corn, and broccoli! The only other side option is rice. Check em out if you want to take a break from fried seafood but still want good seafood that's good for you. They also have a SERIOUS Seafood Salad that does not disappoint. Fresh chunks of shrimp, lobster, and crab all blended together with the right amount of mayo and seasonings. This place isn't cheap so don't faint at the prices - the do however take accept debit and credit cards for your purchase. This place should do pretty good business with Lent approaching.

The ambiance is casual with great service and great attitudes. It is a very clean establishment. We were well taken care of by our server. The place stayed busy but the food was just good and lacked seasonings. Maybe it is just a Texas thing. We each ordered our own bag with a variety of items upon likes. I personally ordered the shrimp, crawfish, sausage, corn and potatoes in a spicy sauce that was not spicy at all and lacked flavor even though I ordered the 3 spice hot sauce. The headless shrimp were good sized and cleaned. The crawfish were mixed sized. Again, it lacked flavor. The potatoes were good and the corn was spicy, burned the lips. Another person in our party ordered a little bit of everything. He enjoyed everything and there was plenty of leftovers from the three bags for him to take home. We also ordered the garlic shrimp noodles which were ok after eating so much boiled seafood. The sweet potato fries were delicious and I recommend them. The sweet tea was great and we were surprised they even had sweet tea. I would try it again but it is a bit high. We spent $250 on a party of three.

When I was leaving I stopped and spoke with the owner to suggest they have the signage out and visible for the customers to see not refunds or exchanges if not satisfied , he was very rude not apologizing he stated What should I do just takes loss because you didn't like your order and I stated all other regular restaurants do he stated this is a regular restaurant and besides it's the law and I know because I'm a lawyer and should know and we have the best Shrimp in Chicago but my complaint wasn't regarding the Shrimp it was the Lobster Roll the Customer Service from the Owner and his rudeness is why I will never go there again even if you have good food doesn't give you the right to treat frequent customers in such a way I will not be returning and I will let all my family as Well as my Church family not to come back as I'm African American and he seems to have an issue with treating us with respect as I have saw other reviews by other African American's stating the same.
