1st time eating here: service was excellent (Ren) she was very attentive with a great attitude. We ordered hush puppies, they were good! We had the 1 lobster tail (very good size), the cluster of crab, tons of sausage and a decent amount of shrimp. We did the garlic butter flavor. The restaurant is very clean, very much love the decor, we will be back!

Wow! First time here... GREAT atmosphere! Food was FANTASTIC! Beers on tap, attentive service & good selection of food. Would recommend to a friend/family. If your price conscience be sure to check the menu online but definitely worth it! See pics for what we ordered! Being picky would be nice if they had grilled chicken for salad or grilled tenders however understand it is a seafood place! Gloves/bib provided to stay clean while eating!

This restaurant is delicious! Our family loves to eat at this location. The server, Jordany is very kind and always makes us feel welcome. Their food is great and if have seafood allergy they will always find you choices or side dishes you can eat. I also love their red sangria and large drink choices. Parking can be difficult sometimes in the afternoon of week days because there are many other restaurants and shops in the same plaza. Go visit and you will like it!
