This was more than enough for 3 people. We opted for the "Big Bang," which is a combination of their Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper sauces added to the boil. The flavor is amazing. Just a few minutes after we ordered, they brought out a big plastic bag with the boiled food inside. They also brought out bibs and disposable gloves, because eating this amazing seafood gets messy. The food is perfectly cooked and the portions are very generous. A note about the sausage. Words cannot describe how good it is with these sauces. Just amazing! We got a chicken tender basket with fries for my daughter. It was huge, and both the tenders and fries were great. I definitely recommend this restaurant as a great seafood place to try.

Started with the peel & eat shrimp, they were deveined, jumbo shrimp lightly seasoned with Old Bay and served with melted butter, not overcooked at all. The lobster and shrimp risotto was creamy, lobster was soft not chewy. And the shrimp and grits was also delicious I can see why it's a favorite. They also had margaritas specials on Thursday their house and hibiscus for only $6. Service was attentive and very knowledgeable on the daily specials, I will be back!

I would definitely go back and try other things on the menu!

Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking on us at just the right moments without being overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious. The fried flounder was outstanding--perfectly crispy on the outside, incredibly flaky and fresh on the inside, and not greasy at all. We also tried the Chicken Jarrett, which was incredibly savory, juicy, and packed with flavor. It is a fantastic option if someone in your party wants a break from seafood! If you are looking for top-tier food and a welcoming atmosphere in Cary, this is the place to be. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

The owner/ manager ( not sure which) went out of his way to tell us that next time make sure to order it chilled . Since we're from New England, we weren't familiar with shrimp cocktail like this. No problem at all. This visit when we placed our order and asked our server for chilled shrimp cocktail, we noticed , I'm assuming the manager/owner standing by the kitchen and he asked the server if we we had ordered it cold and then rolled his eyes ......clearly showing his disdain. So I guess Legal Seafood in Boston and even the fantastic waterfront restaurant we ate at recently in Beaufort seem to know it's very much a thing eating it chilled. All that said we decided not to put a dinner order in and requested the check. The server however, was very sweet and efficient , but the guy walking the place with his tablet was pretty rude. We didn't have this experience at the Cape Fear located in Cameron Village. Tonight's experience at the Apex location left a bad taste in our mouth, so to speak.

The potatoes were delicious. The peel and eat shrimp were warm, and lacked flavor. I ordered fish and shrimp to go. After tasting the fish, I threw the plate away because it had a horrible, fishy taste and odor. Plus, the shrimp were smaller than popcorn shrimp, and were greasy. I do not believe that I will return again any time soon.

The item I planned to get was $14 online. When we got to the restaurant, it was $17.75. Pretty big difference. - The beer menu showed. $3 drafts. When we got the bill, it was $6. The $3 was only Mon-Thursday..(didn't see that on the drink menu I was provided). Evidently the new menu says this. It was a nice Saturday afternoon and I now understand why the place was completely empty. I know that I won't be back.. too many other options who don't play games with pricing.

The seafood was fresh and LIVE! Definitely worth it. While I was there O picked up lunch too since I was making the seafood boil for dinner. They fry or steamed your fresh fish there! Let me tell you, it was worth it. The combo meals are where you want to go. You get a bit of everything. Crab cakes were STUFFED with crab rather than just breading! The fried okra was crispy, crunchy. The calamari was crispy and tender! Not chewy at all! The hush puppies were seasoned! And didn't taste like just fried dough, the plantains were sweet and tender. Finally the fish! Buttery, flakey, juicy, tender, BUT with a CRISPY light breading! So much better than other places where they over bread their food and all you get is breading! Would come here again for their food and their fresh seafood to take home!

The voodoo lounge is also a great place to grab a cocktail and snack if you're so inclined. They make a mean dirty martini, with stuffed blue cheese olives, obviously. For starters I gravitate towards the Shrimp Orleans or Fried Oysters. Or, if I'm really missing Nola, I'll get their Turtle Soup. It's perfect! You can't really go wrong with their meat selections, I've been happy with steak, veal, and pork chops, but lately, I have a hard time ordering anything but the Grouper Lafayette. It's pan fried, topped with crab meat and smothered in a spicy butter. It's delightful. For dessert, the crème brûlée and bread pudding are both quite good. I'll be honest though, the portions are large, so sometimes dessert is completely out of the question. If I remember correctly, I believe they also have a twenty year tawny in the menu that is a great way to close out the night. All in all, service is great, the food is good, and if you want to get dressed up and go out for a leisurely paced dinner, this is a great place to do just that!

First time having KBBQ in North Carolina and WOW!!!. I don't know why I didn't come here sooner!…read moreThe food was great, not out of this world but good for AYCE. Lots of different options, my favorite was the different pork bellies and the LA Galbi was great as well. Also really enjoyed the little side dishes (반찬). I really love the interior, they seem to have a good ventilation system for each table with a grill, there's a bar and the tables are fairly huge. Not super loud either, each table is spaced apart thoughtfully. Now, I have to praise the staff here for their AWESOME customer service. If I could give a 100/5 for customer service alone, I would. This was like Michelin-level elite service. They refilled my drink, changed my grill for clean one, brought over sauces, Really loved the energy and personality of all the staff that I interacted with :). Also my main hostess, Samantha I think was her name, was next level service like better than some of the Michelin star restaurants that I have been to. She assisted in grilling some of the meats whenever she brought them over and it was outstanding, I was just awestruck by the service provided this evening.

The ambiance was relaxing, welcoming, and perfect for a casual meal. It's also very kid friendly, which I appreciated. I can't wait to bring my little one on our next visit.

We started with the mussels cooked with chorizo sausage. They had good flavor, although I personally would have preferred the mussels without the sausage flavor. For our entrée, we had the Steak & Fries. The fries were cooked perfectly and had great flavor, especially with the cheese. We also ordered a side of Mac & Cheese, which is made with baked shell pasta, rich, cheesy, and really good. The restaurant itself is fairly small and intimate, with the full bar and open kitchen all in the same room as the dining tables. I really liked the warm, lively atmosphere, although it can feel a little crowded when they're busy. Overall, good food, a cozy atmosphere, and a fun dinner spot in Raleigh. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation before coming, especially for dinner.
