    6 steamed oysters

    I'd heard great things about this place and had to check out the hype. I was not disappointed. Food was exceptional. Service was good. Family oriented.

    This supposed to been Mild Juicy Special snow and Dungeness crab legs. NO SEASONING!!! HORRIBLE!!!! The worse Juicy Crab I have EVER HAD!

    All Juicy Crab's are NOT created EQUAL!!!! Franchise need to get to this location ASAP!!! I have NEVER had dry Juicy Crab with ABSOLUTELY NO SEASONING!!!! Imagine having your mouth already for something and you on vacation. Highly DISAPPOINTED!!!

    10. Half lb. Snow Crab, 1/2 lb. Sausage, 1/2 lb. Shrimp no Head, 3 Eggs, 1 Corn and 1 Potato

    Food was hot and seasoned to perfection! Service was okay, could've been better. We weren't given any utensils to open the clams/snow crabs. The water that was served with the food was bad even with the lemon. Except for the women's restroom, establishment was clean overall. I'd definitely go back to try again if I'm in the area.

    We were in Orlando and wanted crab legs badly. Found this place which Google maps said was only about 15 minutes away from us. Great. But it was a long 15 minutes with traffic and mobs of people walking. Yikes! It is located right next to Titanic exhibit. And we were lucky to get parking right in front. Timing was perfect as we got seated right away. Jackie was our server. She was so nice. We each got the combo you get 2 choices with 1 corn on cob and 1 potato. But we got double snow crab since that is what we went for. I think it was about $14 for half lb. (1 cluster) crab was perfect. Not overcooked or rubbery or dry. I like mine just plain only lemon. But you have a variety to choose from. Butter, garlic butter, Cajun etc By the time we left the place was getting busy. Oh yah they also had a DJ playing some pretty good mixes. A good place to celebrate a special occasion.

    Not sure where to begin. We were so excited to try this after our long trip here. we will most likely drive down the road and grab something else. 1st, it was all cold by the time we received it at our hotel. Warm understandable, cold is not. 2nd, no tarter or cocktail sauce (extra was requested) received none. 3rd, ordered Cole slaw, it wasn't delivered. 4th, my piece of fried fish was hard as a rock. Like it was cooked 6mins to long. 5th, (which was probably the delivery driver) the oysters were upside down and leaked all over the bag.

    Review from Sept, 2023. This was really good. Although I opted for the fried oysters to save a few $$, the juicy combos my companions had looked yummy. The Oysters where lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Served with fries which were good as well. Paired with a 2 for 1 beer for happy hour (which we learned was all day ) Our server was attentive and friendly. Will have to go back when the budget allows.

    The food was good but our server was very personable and attentive. He even taught me how to eat a crawfish! I did have some leftover and was going to eat for breakfast but it escaped!

    No fried to be found

    If you place an order online and the receipt with the full order is on the bag you would except not miss anything when it's ordered in advance I added Cajun fries and it was not placed in the bag. I was already to far so not able to turn back . And not able to get refund because I went on juicy crab site and was directed to DoorDash and tried to get a hold of them is a nightmare it's just frustrating because juicy crab can't offer a refund only for you to come back to get something that should've been packed to begin with . I would advise for the people packing the orders to double check the bag and not worry about speed .

    Food was incredible! I absolutely loved my pina colada! Oysters were super fresh and tasty! Seafood boil was incredible and I did choose the garlic dressing! Crispy chicken was very juicy and delicious and jambalaya was so hearty and good! Ambiance is cozy and service is quick!

    Service was quick. Waiter was nice. Ordered the seafood combo, not sure if it was safe to eat Crab was extremely fishy tasting (not the good kind). Tasted like it had gone bad and was insanely soft. Shells were soft and mushy. Was super excited but didn't meet up to my expectations.

    One of the best crab boils my wife and I have tried, a bit expensive though. The atmosphere is really welcoming, and super clean.

    Do you offer a kids menu?

    2021-04-09. No kids menu. It's a seafood boil restaurant, and they sell seafood by weight (market price). Corn, sausage, eggs, are complements with the boils that are fixed price. Appetizers are also available.

    Is it open on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday?

    According to this site yes. Opens at noon daily.

    We came here for a Mother's Day Brunch so the restaurant was open earlier than usual and more…read morefamilies were present than what I'd imagine for a place like this that usually only opens starting at 5PM. We had the crabcake eggs benedict and the lobster toast. Both dishes were good but definitely more expensive than your typical benedict. Bloody mary was delicious and worth the price. Ordered a kid's burger with fries for my son which was a bit dry but he still ate a decent portion of it. The prices were high as expected but this restaurant is on inKind so it definitely makes the prices way more reasonable. Would return to try this place on a date night without the kids to see how the vibes are in the evening.

    This is one of the two Ocean Prime locations in Orlando in Dr Phillips. It is a well known upscale…read morechain of restaurants across the US. So much of Orlando is dominated by very average chains but Ocean Prime stands out as one of the better ones imo. Upscale with a bit of a trendy modern feel. Food (4.5/5) - Extensive selection of seafood-dominated mains and appetizers, but also complimented by upscale steaks, sides and salads. Hamachi Crudo - Hamachi pieces with pickled mango, sweet peppers, cilantro, sesame ginger vinaigrette - outstanding appetizer - hamachi was very fresh and the mix in the crudo just works so well together. We enjoyed it so much we ordered another one instead of dessert at the end of the meal lol. Oysters On the Half Shell - had half a dozen of the west coast ones and they were pretty good... fresh and flavourful but not briney. Sea Scallops - served on a parmesan risotto, with english peas, and a citrus vinaigrette. Outstanding main... perfectly cooked texture and balanced flavour/seasoning with the perfect amount of searing. Grouper - served with lobster pieces, pasta, peas and garnishments in an emulsion. Cooked to proper firmness and a nice fresh flavour. Side Asparagus - not bad... cooked to proper firmness but maybe on bland side. Service (4.75/5) - top notch - very attentive, knowledgeable and upscale. Server and support table staff were all professional and engaging. Atmosphere (4.5/5) - upscale and classy with properly spaced table options. Not a lot of parking however not as busy as the I-Drive one. Overall (4.5/5) - a definite recommendation if you are in the Orlando area and looking to have an upscale, quality dinner date, work event, get-together.

Highlights for sure was the calamari which was perfectly cooked and crispy, Peking duck was spot on and skin was perfect with juicy meat. Wonton was house made you can tell and it was awesome. I was disappointed with the steamed oyster as it was well cooked but the taste overall was just not for me. Lobster was also a let down. You could tell it was frozen or not too fresh. The meat was sticking to the shell which is a tell tale sign Overall a stellar meal , I would just avoid some of the dishes above but otherwise it was great
