    Crab topped garlic bread
    Danielle C.

    Went there for a lunch of sorts with a friend and we just shared a bunch of appetizers. The place is small inside and there is writing everywhere It's rather odd. Also not in the menu but when you get a bill the seafood options are handwritten in chalk what they are and depending on what you get the price goes up. It's odd and confusing. We order the chicken strip basket. Fries were well seasoned but the chicken was overcooked and not juicy. I def recommend their garlic bread with crab topping. Wow this came out piping hot and very buttery and tasty. Also got a side a gator bites. Def overcooked. Which is to bad cause gator can be amazing. Needed lots of salt due to lack of flavor. Prices were ok. We got those three items and it was about $20. Staff was ok friendly. She wasn't very happy we weren't spending $30 min in a boil each. If you love spending the money on the seafood boils then go for it. I'm assuming g the seafood isnt over cooked. Large parties def take up a lot of table space. Inside is small and not very roomy. It's a chain place to eat but worth trying once.

    Went with some family at 5pm on a Thursday. Only 3-4 tables were filled. Others in our party had been before but my first time. Food order messed up; they forgot my wife's plate. She had to walk and find the waitress who said " oh yeah they didn't make it". Never told us. Food was very good. $300 for 5 adults, no drinks. But if you thought the service couldn't get any worse, when went to pay, waitress rolled her eyes like it wasn't her job and proceeded to have a conversation ignoring us. And oh, one more, one of the servers was sitting behind the bar stuffing her face with a sandwich that she kept on the bartender side. Yuck. So, food good. Staff horrible. Management no where in site. I'll give the place another 2 years before they fold.

    The seafood boil NEVER disappoints. The food is so flavorful and it is quality. I have never been inside so i wouldn't know what the ambiance is but i have heard that it is overall a fun experience seeing that you get a bib and gloves with your meal, so get ready to get messy!. It is a bit pricey but overall worth it seeing what you get. I have been here 4 times so far and only once was I disappointed . I was shorted a pound of crawfish, realized it when i got home and had to turn around and drive back to pick it up. They gave me some cheesy crab bread on the house that almost made the drive back worth it. If you like seafood i highly recommend you give this place a try!

    I'm going with 5 stars because this place is FUN, it's a unique dinning experience and the seafood was very tasty. I didn't like the mess as you use your hands to pretty much eat everything. Everything is coated in a butter sauce...which I love the taste...but it's messy. I felt naked without plates and utensils. I was very disappointed in the young hostess as she was more interested in what was happening on her phone than greeting us and making us feel welcome. Our waitress did an adequate job at taking & serving the order and refills. She just didn't do much to help the FuN be even more FUN. On to the food: the meal comes with seafood bread. The bread was baked crispy with a slight amount of cheese and seafood additives. It was okay. The edges of the bread were crispy. It was a good & light start to the meal. We ordered the fried okra and hush puppies for starters. The hush puppies were a beautiful golden color. They were about the size of a quarter, not overly greasy and sweet to taste. It came with a sriracha Mayo style sauce. It didn't have much zip or flavor to add. The hush puppies were good without it. I love fried okra because no one serves it. The pieces were also relatively small. The breading was thin but sufficient. Not too greasy. Not a heavy corn meal taste like you find at some places. The okra tasted fresh though I'm sure it was frozen at some point. I wished the pieces were bigger to get more of the okra taste. The ranch style sauce it came with was also just kinda there. It didn't have a ranch zip either and didn't add much to the okra. Both are good appetizers to try! We had the #2 seafood boil. We selected the garlic & old bay butter mix - yes you can do both. This was a good choice as it gave us both flavors which would dominate your taste for the next hour. We went with the mild spice. This was low enough that I really couldn't detect any spice through the butter. I would try more spice next time. The clams were small but easy to eat. They did give you a fork to remove the clan with. I was surprised they didn't provide a lobster fork as well. Overall the clams weren't much to rave about. Small but fresh and tasty. The shrimp were fairly large and nicely cooked. Not too soft...just enough to make removing the shell...with the fork...easy enough. Again a nice fresh taste. The crab legs were large and meaty. They were cooked soft enough to make the meat extraction easy. The butter really accented the dish here. We didn't order dessert. It was my birthday. They offered to sing but I said no thank you - nice touch to offer. The peppermint ice cream was a great way to cut through the butter taste and top off the meal. Overall I really like the Storming Crab. It is a bit expensive as you would expect for seafood. However I wouldn't let that stop you for a unique dinning experience every once and a while.

    Well, I was here last evening and I was not impressed. I hate to say that l, but I wasn't. I had a petty of 8. 4 people opted for menu items and the other 4 had a boil. I don't want to get ahead of myself so I'll start from the beginning. 1. Easy access off Coliseum Blvd. Clean and clear parking with plenty of space. 2. A hostess greets and seats you at the door. 3. The location was clean and in my opinion had a nice size crowd. 4. Since we had a petty of 8, a 18% gratuity was auto added to the bill. We all opted for different menu items. The 4 with the boil enjoyed it thoroughly. The 4 with entrees were underwhelmed. The crab cakes, which is what I had were good. Not the best I've ever had, it certainly good. I wouldn't get them again, but they were ok. The crawfish etoufee was more rice than soup, it did have great flavor. The fried catfish was excellent and the gumbo was edible. The 4 of us who didn't do the boil, each shared the various 4 other options. My only real issue is, the boils were served about 22 minutes after the other 4 dishes arrived. So, we all didn't really eat together, which defeats the purposes of having dinner as a group. That made for a long and boring table setting.

    Nice quiet atmosphere while we were there. Food came out in a timely manner it was hot, fresh, and very good. I will visit again!!

As a seafood lover, I was sold just based on the name alone The building itself is pretty cool. We were told it dates back to the 1880s and is the 2nd oldest building in Indiana behind some other one in Indianapolis. You can definitely feel the history when you walk in. The place is small, with only about 14 tables, and everything is packed in pretty tight, but that's part of what gives it character. The old bar immediately grabbed my attention and looked like it hadn't changed much in over a century We started with the Parmesan baked oysters, which were outstanding and surprisingly fresh for being in the Midwest The homemade clam chowder was loaded with clams and flavor. It was so good it didn't need anything added to it. We also ordered a couple of smoked Old Fashioneds that were a great way to start the night I wanted sea bass, but they were out, so I went with the walleye fish and chips. It's honestly hard for me to pass up fish and chips when they're on a menu, I'm glad I did. The fish was well-seasoned and on point My wife went with a seafood combo that included seafood au gratin, bay scallops, shrimp, crab, applewood bacon risotto, and baked in a lobster creamy sauce Being in Fort Wayne for just one night, this ended up being a great find. The food was excellent, the service was friendly (Shoutout Lindsay) and the whole place had a nostalgic feel that made the experience even better If you're passing through and in the mood for seafood or live locally, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

The only "noodles" were instant ramen packets. · Sauces: The dipping sauce station was out of cilantro--a main ingredient. · Drinks: The martini was amateurish and watered down. · Value: For the price, the quality is shockingly low. The (One) Positive: · The buffet does have a wide variety of frozen foods and seafood mix to choose from. Bottom Line: If you've never tried KBBQ/hotpot and just want the novelty, maybe. But if you know what good hot pot tastes like, save your money. You'll get better flavor and quality buying ingredients from an Asian grocery and cooking at home for a fraction of the price.

The reason(s)? Let me explain in detail: The restaurant was practically empty at 6 pm on a Sunday night (not a good sign); we were seated at a 4 top about parallel with the bar, where we observed a waitress chowing down on a piece of cheesecake at the bar, not 10 feet from us (she left the rest to come back to later). No one wants to see staff eating or drinking and then preparing or serving food. We ordered a salad bar each, at $17.99 per person, and my wife added on a French Onion soup. I went to the washroom and saw that they had 2 containers of soap (that were supposed to be in wall - mount dispensers) on either side of the sink. However, only the one on the right actually worked. I turned to leave, and saw that the toilet paper was sitting on top of the hand bar, instead of the holder, which appeared to be missing a piece. By the door, they have a baby changing table with various cleaning items underneath (not a huge deal, but no one wants to see the inside of a custodian's closet). I returned from the washroom and we subsequently approached the salad bar, only to find about 6 plates, and a few scraps of burnt (rusty) lettuce in each of the three bowls. I said to my wife, "I'm sorry, I'm not eating this. Let's go somewhere else." I waived the waitress over, who dropped off some bread that looked like it was a week old and had been deep fried, and told her that we would pay for our beers and leave. I told her that the salad bar lettuce was burnt, and we weren't going to eat it. As we finished our beers, the manager came over and said he heard that we had issues with the salad bar. I asked him if he had a moment, and we walked over to the salad bar, where they had refilled one bowl of lettuce. I picked up a piece of rusty lettuce from another, smaller bowl, and explained that the big bowl had the same burnt lettuce in it. I also showed him the pictures of the washroom, and explained, for context, that I am a certified executive chef. The manager was so apologetic that he even took the salad bar off of our bill...which was generous considering we hadn't eaten one bit of it. All in all, he was patronizing and unapologetic, which was extremely disappointing considering I was very respectful and was actually trying to help the Trolley Bar to not lose more customers (which, as a 40 year veteran of the hospitality industry, is my duty). The ONLY reason I gave one star (other than that it's not possible to give 0 stars) is that the beer glasses were cold. Other than that, we will never return, even though we have had 3 - 4 good meals there in the past. Good luck in the future. I would suggest implementing a staff training plan as soon as possible.
