Snow Crab Legs (1 Lb)Shrimp Head Off (1 Lb)

The food was phenomenal. I had the combo with crab legs and shrimp. Tons left over for the next night. Our waitress was very sweet and on top of it. Will definitely be back.

Went for lunch with my family. Parking lot smells great when you pull up. The inside is fun atmosphere. Writing all over the walks from previous guests. Our server Sean was great. He was nice and attentive. Me and my daughter shared a lunch combo. We had a half pound of snow crabs and a half pound of headless shrimp. Also ordered fried okra and hush puppies. Everything was great. The good came out hot and tasty. Great place to go if you love seafood.

We went here on a whim and had a great time! The amount of food you get is large, which is nice. (We had 3 lbs and ended up taking a bit home). The market prices are all on a chalk board so it's easy to see how much they cost. We got the #4 for $67 on 3.10.25. Pros: 1) Fun and a lot of food 2) Seafood bread was awesome 3) It's a fun experience with a good atmosphere 4) The diet coke is good here Considerations: 1) As others have said, service is pretty slow. If you need new gloves, more water, the check- be prepared to exert some patience 2) The sauce is good but has a very strong artificial butter taste. I didn't love it but I'm sure it keeps the prices down since seafood is already expensive

Cheese bread

The food was so good!!! Our server, *server name*, was so attentive to us!! The warm smell is very appetizing and they are so welcoming!!!

Mushy crab! I ordered extra corn and it came by itself ... uh. Why not in the bag with season? Well. So now I tried to send the food back after the crab was MUSHY soft shell and the meat was just falling apart. They instead decided they they would take my plate to the back then remove the crab and bring back the COLD FOOD and tell me the crab itself will be out later lmao lmao yea. Cold sausage and corn goes well with hot crab. Lmao lmao never again! This isn't a good experience. All the food seems like can food / frozen food. Don't like the texture but returning the nasty food seems like I'm not allowed to do that lol

Soooo yummy! We had our anniversary dinner here and it was the best restaurant experience we've had in a while. Amazing service, great atmosphere, even better food! It's always a good feeling showing up early and leaving to see a huge wait. 10/10 recommend.

MY FIRST SEAFOOD BOIL RESTAURANT! date night gone right... we loved the shrimp and the crab it was very fresh! choosing the flavor AND heat level is a big plus! for 49 dollars this combo was plenty to share and we got to sample everything. we also got extra cheese bread which was super garlicky and paired so very well with our platter. a must try! we will be back!

Overall, this crab boil was top-tier. Fresh and bold flavors, we also got the seafood bread as an appetizer and it was a good starter. If you're a seafood lover, this is a must-try!

KUDOS to Julia for providing supreme quality customer service! We ordered Pick 3 appetizers consisting of Boudin Balls, Stuffed Jalapeños, and Cheese Sticks. We also had Dinner Combinations #6. Thank God for Julia! The ambiance was quiet and the music jamming! I highly recommend all to come and visit to support this local business!

Number 4 combo
Nathaniel H.

Honestly the best seafood boil I've ever had. Got the number 4 which is 1lb of each Snow crab legs, head off shrimp and crawfish. Service was average. Shrimp was very good and crawling were good crab tasted good but was a little short on the meat. I did the garlic butter with the Old bay and Cajun seasoning medium heat and it was phenomenal. Added 4 boiled eggs as well. I ate all of it myself so kinda expensive but very good. Lol my total was $85 before tip. Building was very nice but bathrooms were disgusting.

#Dinner Combo 9? I think.

I debated between three and four stars and went with four because the bottom line on a place is to…read moreme, would you go back? And I definitely would. We went for a brunch. Everything was pretty tasty, and there was no crowd whatsoever on a Sunday late morning when trying to get into many brunch places would be impossible. I think we both had eggs Benedict dishes, mine was with crabcakes and my wife's was with salmon. Fried potato chunks on the side. Very tasty, all of it. We also ordered some sides to take home. I wanted to try their gumbo and their étouffée. The gumbo was OK, not very rich or flavorful, but overall decent. Could've used more meat chunks. When I got home, I learned that they had given me red beans and rice instead of the étouffée. That was disappointing, but the red beans and rice were definitely spicy, and actually they had more meat in them than the gumbo. I wanted to try their Boudin entrée, but they were out of it. And the waiter didn't offer much hope that I could get it in the near future. Speaking of the waiter, the one we had this Sunday morning was the epitome of droll, in both weird and humorous ways. My favorite example was when I asked him if I could call before coming in next time to see if they had the Boudin in stock and he rolled his eyes and said "oh, don't call... I have to run all the way from the bar over to the other wall to get the phone." However, the service was altogether fine. One other small thing, food was served on paper plates. Maybe their dishwasher was broken, I don't know, but it seemed like that's just the way it was. Given the dearth of good Cajun food in the Knoxville area, I would go here again. I really wish I would have gotten to try the étouffée, which was an interesting item using mushroom and kale. So not a traditional étouffée by any means, but it might be good. Oh, I should add. They had bloody Maries at a very good price for the brunch and I enjoyed that.

We finally made it to St. Lucille's in Knox and wow--worth every bite! We tried both the regular…read moreand voodoo-style jambalaya and they did not disappoint. The voodoo kicked it up a notch with just the right heat--spicy, bold, and full of flavor. If you like a little fire, go voodoo! But the real surprise? That praline cream cheese spread!!! Sweet, creamy, with a nutty crunch that added the perfect southern charm. We honestly wanted to put it on everything! The vibe was just as good as the food--laid-back, soulful, and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back.

Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!
