I ordered the crab boil via Uber Eats. The location is quite large in a shopping center. I got the Dungeness crab. It was so meaty!! The sauce could have been a bit thicker but overall it was good. I went with medium and that was a little spice. Might go higher next time When I arrived; pick up was seamless and the ladies up front were nice. I would order again. read more

The crawfish are made fresh to order, and you can really taste the difference so flavorful and well-seasoned! They also offer party combos that are definitely worth it. We ordered Sack #1, and it was more than enough for 3 people. For just $86, it felt like a full-on crawfish feast... such a great deal! Can't wait to come back again. read more

So freakin' delicious! This is exactly what I see in my head when I think of a seafood boil. The selection was fresh and delicious. The price was very appropriate. The service was great and the place was decked out in a nautical fashion. Will definitely be back. There was 7 of us and we ordered two sacks (#3 and #4) with an extra side of potatoes.

Great food and terrible service. It was a slow night and we had one of the worst customer service experience there. Alex our server came by twice in a 10 mins span to tell us he would be back to get our drink orders. 10 mins later he takes our order. 5 mins later his manager had to come and ask us if we were ready to place our drink orders. To his surprise Alex had taken it 15 mins earlier and never came back. The manager took our food order and our food came out before our drinks. Alex never came back to ask if we needed a refill and we were there for an hour. We watched as he checked on every other table. After we finished eating, he came and asked if there is anything else we needed. With a straight face I said yes, refills and a to go box. He came back with the refills and no to go box. I went to his manager to ask for the box. Terrible read more

The seafood was just okay. The fish and shrimp were served hot, which was nice, but they weren't very well-seasoned. The fries were also hot but lacked flavor, and it was clear they were frozen rather than fresh. While the meal wasn't terrible, it didn't stand out. It's a decent spot if you're nearby, but not something I'd go out of my way for. read more

Would have been 5 stars had we not had an oyster incident. Let's start with the good cause who likes negativity.... Server, Jerica, was awesome. Super attentive and helpful! Vibe, super clean and professional with a little touch of club. Loved the music selection! Food, we opted for the "weekend" and added a pound of snow crab. Everything was well cooked, as fresh as you can get in Texas, and those potatoessss.... The best. For the negative part, we ordered a half order of raw oysters. When received, they were gray/brown and did not give off that ocean smell they should. We returned them with no issue. Make sure you smell your oysters before consuming. They should not smell fishy... Even with the mishaps, we will definitely return. It's the best seafood boil we've found in North Texas! read more

I gotta say, I was surprised walking into this place. It is not what you expect at all. They play new music, mostly rap and pop style music, the service is freaking awesome and their catfish is kind of ridiculous. I say that because catfish is usually just ya know, regular. They have a seasoning on theirs that gives it some good flavor. It's a good size too. Their bartender has good personality as well. Go try it out. It's a whole vibe. read more

Nice interior in a strip mall. Had crab legs along with peel and eat shrimp. Came with new potato and one small corn on the cob. Both very obviously left over from the day before. I was the first diner when they opened. Quantity of crab and shrimp was good, but shrimp was over cooked to the point of being rubbery. $50 after tax and tip, for just me. At that price point, serve fresh sides, not yesterday's. Wouldn't be my first choice for seafood. read more

On the outside, we were uncertain. We got inside and the place is very clean. It's a loud/party atmosphere. That's not our thing and it was a Sunday afternoon so perhaps the music could have been more subtle(?) But even with the party vibe, we stayed for the crab legs. We were pleased with the food- crabs legs and some fried chicken tenders and strips. Our server was attentive and kind. read more

Too bad i can't say the same for the food. My fish was WAY too salty. Chef should throw his salt shaker away. Some places do this so that they sell more drinks. The coating on the fish seemed to contain all the salt. I might return to set and drink but will be eating elsewhere. read more

Place is good, very fast service. The food is delicious, we ordered 1 pound of shrimp & 1 pound of king crab, flavor wise and we did all seasonings extra hot, what a nice flavor it gave. We did try the micheladas, & not a fan of them. But we then tried other drinks like the special & shots & I can say the bartenders know what they are doing & it's a perfect size shot what they give you.

After a long day in transit, all we wanted was something deeply satisfying, the kind of meal that feels like a reward. When my mother suggested Aunt Irene's Kitchen, there was no hesitation. She spoke of it with the reverence reserved for places that become part of your personal geography former neighborhood staples, the kind you measure other meals against. Years ago, when she lived nearby, this was her spot. And now, standing beside her in a line that stretched out the door, it was clear we weren't the only ones holding onto that sentiment. The queue moved with surprising ease, a quiet efficiency that felt almost practiced. Inside, the energy was unpretentious and steady. Our cashier, while not particularly warm, was brisk and knowledgeable answering questions with the kind of clarity that suggests confidence in the product more than performance. We ordered simply: wings with fries, and two plates of fried fish with fries. The wings hadn't been part of the original plan, but a fellow patron mid-meal and visibly excited leaned over to insist. It felt like advice worth taking. And it was. The food arrived in its own time this is not a place for the impatient but what it lacked in speed, it more than made up for in flavor. The fish was crisp and tender, the wings richly seasoned, each bite layered with the kind of depth that doesn't rush itself. Then there was the jalapeño tucked alongside the plate like a quiet signature. It cut through the richness with a bright, deliberate heat, a small but memorable detail that elevated the entire experience. The dining room itself is modest and well-kept, with many opting to take their meals to-go or retreat to their cars. There's an ease to it all ample parking, friendly faces coming and going, a sense of community that lingers longer than the wait. Because that's the thing about places like this: they don't just feed you, they remind you why the wait was worth it.

The shrimp and wing box was massive. Wings so good they didn't even need the lemon pepper sauce that it came with. The shrimp was addicting. I found myself regretting not getting an additional order of shrimp. (I will next time). The order came with a side of 2 pieces of well seasoned Cajun flavored corn and potato pieces that were covered with a hefty amount of cheese. A Dallas gem for sure.

The oysters are always shucked well. The ambiance is relaxed and approachable no matter where you are in your day. I've come in before in a bad mood and always leave feeling lifted. My only complaint is one time when I ordered a body mary, it was served with a shrimp that was spoiled. They keep them in the bar area so I just shrugged it off as one off, but I'm still hesitant to order that one again. I hate how much that sticks with me given all the great times I've had. I'll keep coming back and maybe give the drink another try, but that gold margarita is so solid it's hard to resist.
