    Very good seafood and crawfish with beer and wine. Went there with two friends and we all enjoyed a nice lunch. My favorite were the two orders of oysters. They went elbow deep with the rest... and left no evidence behind...

    I am so happy that I found another spot other than Juicy Crab for bagged seafood!! The prices are reasonable, the food is fresh and the portions are big. Thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. I didn't feel overloaded with sodium or bloated, as I often do after eating at other restaurants. There are no kids menus. But there are lots of fried basket options that kids can enjoy. My daughter enjoyed the fried catfish. Pretty crunchy and a good flavor. The butterfly shrimp were a little hard. Wouldn't recommend for kids. They also have crinkly fries - which were pretty good. I took away 1 star bc the service was a tad slow. We ate in the restaurant and there were no more than 2 other tables seated during the duration of dinner. Service was very slow or non-existent. No one asked if we needed anything after the food was delivered and we had to flag down our server for drink refills. Shouldn't have to flag down a server when 3 tables are seated.

    I'm so confused why this place has such a low rating for their seafood when it's amazing! I came across this place from google restaurants in the area, and the reviews were good, however on Yelp, not so great. I still decided to give it a shot! Being from Miami and have even exposed to real seafood, I know what good food really is, and this place did not fail! Service was fast and food came out within 15minutes which was freshly prepared. The restaurant was clean, no bad smell of spoil seafood. I ordered the oyster basket ( 10 huge fresh oysters fried perfect), pound of crawfish with lemon pepper seasoning (amazing flavor), my brother had the special with the cluster snow crab, headless shrimp, and fried shrimp... amazing food! I'm definitely returning back before I head home.

    Service was friendly and fast. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Great price for a good portion of seafood. We enjoyed our food as it was fresh and flavorful. We will be back soon. Also the decor was cute!

    Orders 2 baskets of fried oysters bag combo e and c and split amongst 4. It was a lot of food! It was very flavorful though. I forgot the seasoning we got but super garlicky. -1 star only because they served crinkle cut fries. In my opinion, every fries potato is great but crinkle cut is probably the worst of them.

    I think the 3.5 average for this place is probably fair. I tried this place for the first time via Uber Eats pick-up last night, since I had a 40% off coupon to use. I was torn on what to order and will most likely order one of the seafood boils next time, since that seems to be their specialty. However, I went with the fried calamari and hush puppies with a side of clam chowder to keep things fairly affordable and simple. There were no issues ordering thru Uber Eats for self pick-up - everything was ready on time, and still warm, despite me having to fight that crazy ATL traffic with 2+ accidents on BuHi slowing things down. Even after sitting for about an hour (since of course, I had to use the restroom and fill my tires on the way home also), everything was still at a good temperature surprisingly. The calamari was still crisp, so shout out to the chef for that! When you pick up, there's a window directly to the left of the entrance inside where they hand you your food through a little door, so essentially contactless delivery which is always good in these times. It was a quick in-and-out process, and I was thankful there was plenty of parking even on a crazy Friday night. The girl who helped me was nice, and everything was packaged securely which I always appreciate, especially when there are a lot of sauces or soup included. Although, the texture and cooking of it was great, the seasoning on the calamari was quite a bit lacking for my taste. I prefer a saltier or more flavorful batter and this wasn't it. The "garlic butter" tasted just like plain butter, so not sure if they mixed that up - it was not salty or flavorful at all. However, the spicy mayo and sweet chili sauce that came with the calamari at least were nice complements to the dish and added flavor. The hush puppies were not anything special; I would say Captain D's does a better job on those overall, but they were worth a try. My favorite item was the clam chowder - it had all the flavor that the calamari and hush puppies lacked. I would get this item again, along with a seafood boil. I'm disappointed I didn't get any corn or potatoes as Uber Eats lists these items as included with the calamari and other dishes, but this wouldn't be the first time UE had an incorrect listing or issue. I guess I'll have to come back for the aforementioned items, along with the gumbo at check-in, but overall not a bad experience and definitely worth a try.

    We come here for good seafood boil & the decor! Lol. Love a place that sticks to their theme & menu consistently.

    The food was amazing and very fresh ... the atmosphere was wonderful . The service was wonderful too. The gentleman who served me was so sweet . And did I say once again the food was bomb.com I'm from New York so where big on food and diversity so I definitely know good when I taste it :-) .

    The food here is awesome! You need to come quickly. It is very good and the building is clean from what I can tell. They are more than generous with the sauce in your boil bags and there is no need to ask them for extra as extra is already included basically. Nothing extra other than your favorite boil bag. The gumbo was good and I am not judgmental and I am open to try different variations. Noooo they didn't have hot dogs in them so I'm good!

    This is a disgusting restaurant! The SEAFOOD is not FRESH! I repeat the SEAFOOD is not fresh! From the fried food to the boil/steam food. Everything is frozen and imitation. The sauce is super sweet. My friend ordered the fried catfish bit into it and realize that this is store bought frozen fish and not fresh. We asked could we return this and they said no. Customer services sucked. She was on her phone the entire time not doing anything. She never came over to check in on us .

    Shaking Crawfish is our go-to for seafood near our home. Located on Buford Highway, this place is hard to miss with its unique looking building. The style of the building is actually what made me interested in trying it out. The Atmosphere: To me, the interior of Shaking Crawfish looks like a ship that crashed and plummeted to the bottom of the ocean, with fishing nets hanging all over and boat steering wheels. I feel this decor adds to the dining experience. The Service: Eh, the service is okay. Never had anyone rude or a bad experience, but if I could give any advice, I'd possibly request that they be a bit more attentive. Check on customers from time to time. I found myself seeking a waiter/waitress more than once on different occasions. The Food: There's only ONE thing I get when I come to Shaking Crawfish: 1 pound of boiled shrimp (No head) for $14.99 with corn on the cob (.69 each). Err'thang sauce. This meal has never let me down. It comes out in a bag and you're given gloves with a bib, to prevent a mess. I highly recommend! * Once, we ordered no headed shrimp for a house warming and when we got to our location, they all had HEADS. I damn near didn't eat them. Freaked me out lol. We were also charged the No Head price as it is a little bit more. Overall, I'm definitely a fan of Shaking Crawfish. My wife and I come here often for date nights. And from the looks of our last visit, it's a pretty popular date spot for many other couples.

    Usually order the Cajun seafood boil. Quality is pretty consistent and the Cajun seasoning is not too spicy.

    Went there twice - loved the atmosphere. The Calamansi (type of citrus) juice is a must for me! I…read morehad it 4 times total (I know.. it's a lot). Also an absolute must and my #1 dish recently - the eggplant curry. If you're a protein bro and resistant to get get vege dishes - trust me you still want this one. Just get some extra wings (which are bangers too). I like the idea of the fried fish but as a seafood snob it was average (usually I hate in seafood). The noodles (one with the bean) was excellent. I tried also two desserts with Ube - flan and crème brûlée. Both so good but brûlée was the winner for me. Service is good - just a bit busy so you'll have to make a reservation most likely for a high demand time and expect rushing waiters.

    First of all in order to even get a reservation here you need to keep an eye on it online and they…read moreopen reservations approximately 30 days beforehand and that's as far as it goes. So you need to be diligent in the first place to get a reservation and after arriving, I realized why because the place was completely packed even for an early scheduled dinner. It is located in a huge strip mall with a bunch of other restaurants and a lot of shared parking, but it gets full so you have to get lucky to find a spot and luckily parking is free While the website says they welcome walk-ins I can tell you now that on the weekend for dinner dinners good luck This was our first time here and we ordered quite a few items as you can tell from the photos. While the food is good, I will tell you that it is unique while still authentic for example, the crispy Palabok pancit is quite trendy. The lumpia Shanghai was good and you could actually taste the pork. The dessert of the flan combined cake was also good and not overly sweet. The chicken adobo was a bit on the salty side. And frankly, I thought there would be more chicken. The pork barbecue skewers were good, but not sweet and usually Filipino barbecue is supposed to be more on the sweeter side. The Halo halo was unique in the sense that it had some odd fixings on it such as marshmallows and candy that are not part of a special let alone traditional version of this. It also was missing quite a few ingredients that are what I would deem required. For example, no jackfruit and no sweet beans. I have to say, though this place definitely does justice to the Filipino culture and Filipino cuisine overall it is still a great strong restaurant that I would recommend you go to and check out. I have no other comparisons for the area, but this was definitely well worth the visit. The decor is absolutely incredible as well. Truly authentic and pays good homage to the culture and country. Congratulations to these owners and cooks for all that they have accomplished and so happy to be able to patronize Filipino owners. If I'm back in the area, definitely would come back here and try other dishes and I hope that it is all just as delicious as this meal.

Based on the reviews and pictures I saw I decided to give Three Buddies a try. Three Buddies was easy to find as it sits right on the main road. They have their own parking lot so there is ample parking so once I turned, I hopped into a park and we headed inside. Three Buddies has a simple decor as the design aesthetic is straightforward and leaves the focus on the restaurant name itself. The restaurant was very clean and had a diner style setup with ample seating. Once seated, the waitress approached us with a warm smile and cheerful greeting. She provided us with menus, took our drink order, and allowed us some time to review the menus in full. With a variation of halal items on the menu, Three Buddies had me wanting a little bit of everything. However, I decided to go with a classic approach and get the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with Onion Rings (both well done). Once our order was placed, it was back to the enjoyment of the ambiance as we engaged in our conversation. When our food arrived at the table, the visual presentation was extra enticing. The aroma was captivating and after saying grace, o was ready to eat. Chicken Sandwich: Meaty Perfectly Fried Well Seasoned Fresh Fixins Buttered Bun Crispy Outside - Moist Inside 10/10 Onion Rings: The BOMB Crunchy Tender Onion Well Seasoned Great Homemade Ranch Dip Well Seasoned Huge 10/10 Three Buddies was truly an amazing experience. This is my new hidden gem for date night. I will definitely be back again very soon. This place is low key and fitting for a good meal and relaxed environment. The price point of the food at Three Buddies is perfect as the portions are filling and the food is high quality. Good food. Good service. Good prices. It's an all around great place.

The tacos were American tacos with lots of lettuce and cheese. As far as sides go, I've had tater tots, hush puppies, onion rings, chole chickpea soup, and naan.
