Very good food

It was great the best seasoned crawfish I've had in the Waco area!!! Awesome for it's opening day!

Only had crab legs 4 times and 3 times comes from them. I love everything about this place.

The food was hot and fresh and the staff was very friendly.

Friendly staff great food and great price .. definitely worth it

Food was delicious and service was good.

We had the BEST service here!! Our waiter was so attentive and had so much personality. The food was Great as well

I love this place! Good food and good prices and its always hot! I love seafood and I was hoping Waco would have a place like this! Very satisfied and I come here often!

Very good good and made to order, young waiters and hostist but very attentive. Waco needed this type of seafood restaurant, no need to drive to Dallas/Garland any more

I love this place!! There food is awesome! The environment is nice and the servers are great at what they do! I love the menu options!

Excellent service. Excellent food. I liked the bib and gloves so that I could really dig in! I love the atmosphere.

Delicious food and fairly priced. Great service, definitely will be eating there when able to dine out.

The food was really good shrimp 🍤 are delicious, the staff are friendly the restaurant clean the manager really helpful absolutely I come back soon!!

The food was amazing. Waitress Whitney was outstanding with her service and expertise with the menu.

My food was excellent!! Oysters On The Half Shell and Shrimp with medium spice in garlic butter. Loved it!!

Best seafood and wings in town!!!

We went there for date night on a Saturday night. Staff was very pleasant and nice and the food was awesome. Crab legs were firm and tasty as were the crawfish. Price was on point. Would definitely go again.

First time there and i was a little iffy on staying because the restaurant was completely empty at 8pm but we stayed and definitely glad that we did. I'm guessing it might be the slightly higher prices or the dark exterior that's keeping people away but this place, foodwise, is better than any other cajun place in Waco

Me and my fiancee stopped in for our 1st time and it was Worth every penny. He had the boneless wings and I got the Combo B which was 1/2 lb. Crab legs, 1/2 lb. Shrimp,lobster tail,2 corn and 2 potatoes

Food was REALLY GOOD AND CHEAP! The waitresses are so nice and mindful with the things you will need for your service. WILL MOST DEFINITELY GO BACK SOON

This place is awesome. The food was delicious and the service was 5 star. Will for sure be back. Oh and the price was well worth every bite!

Short wait Food was good except my fries were a Little greasy Place was clean Waitress was nice My daughter loves seafood and was so excited to try a bag!! Let’s say she left smiling!!

I eat here once a week🤷🏾‍♀️the food is sooo good😩Only try spicy if you REALLY like hot n spicy!! Get the mild lemon pepper sauce..its the best on the menu

First visit here. I ordered the shrimp and sausage combo. Prices were reasonable and the food tasted great. Nice spice mix. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. I'll definitely return.

Had a great experience here. I ordered the snow crab legs with mild cajun seasoning. They were incredible, especially with the melted butter. The table shared the mango habanero wings, and those were great as well. The server was attentive and friendly. I'm not a huge fan of mushy, boiled corn on the cob, but that's how they do it at all crab places. The taste was still good, it's just a texture thing with me. I would recommend going here when the crab craving hits.

The server at this location was so sweet and attentive to every need. But a quick warning... If you are not accustomed to spicy food... Be sure to tell your server. I enjoy a little heat. But... Whoooo! The food was delicious but will definitely heat you up!

If you enjoy cajun seafood, this is a pretty good place.

Great service, consistantly good food.

Decent prices and a simple menu

Jaz was a great n awesome server

The food was good. And messy at that.

Food could have been better.

It's up there with Tejun Cajun

The best seafood I ever had

Good food

It was different food was good But Pricey we had water

Had the catfish basket for lunch. It was pretty good. Skinny filets and waffle fries

The food is great and fast service I will be goin back soon

Good food. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. Nice decor. I'll definitely go again.

Food was good just hate that you have to pay for items separately. They don't have a variety of combinations like shrimp and hot wing basket ect.

Food was great, service needs a bit more refinement. I will go back at a later date to see if its improved

Love Love this place. Great food. Friendly staff. Good prices.I eat there at least 4 times a month.

Seafood was pretty tasty, prices not too bad either... quick with walk in orders. Nice spot!

For sure a different style of seafood joint than I'm used to. I liked it a lot though. It's cheap and tasty

The food was good. Recommend the Calamari wish the dipping sauce wasn't spicy.

A tasty mix of seafood dishes. The heart of the menu is a selection of combos, with the choice of shrimp (head or no head), mussels, crab, a lobster tail, clams, etc. You get four choices of sauces. They also supply a bib and rubber gloves, which is nice because it will get messy.

Hard to find blue crabs in central Texas, these were spicy like I requested but they didn't know what I meant when I asked if they were "cleaned". Next time I will be more clear, and yes I'll be back?

It was very good. The only thing was we were NOT told about the specials they were having. I felt like after reading the special written on a board far away that i probably would of ordered one of the specials. to the wait staff, if someone has never been to a particular restaurant, give them ample enough time to review what is on the menu. I felt a little pressured to order more quickly.

We went tonight and it was delicious. Our server was very attentive to or party of five. The only thing that made me give only 4 stars is our server and one other seemed to be the only ones working. There where 3 or 4 other employees hanging out at the bar basically doing nothing. If there was any management I sure didn't see them.

Decent food. I had fried catfish and fries.

Had fried catfish it was good

Just alright not something that I would go back to

Great customer service and flavor, but portions are very poor

Ordered one of the boils, piping hot when delivered, excellent seasoning. Food was great, ice tea was like colored water. Sorry but honest.

Food was decent. Played it safe with catfish. Had a party of 9, only one said he wished he had gotten a different dish. I believe he had the marinated ribeye tacos.

Service was okay, but the wings were not special. Menu was limited. If you only want seafood then this is a decent choice. They do have crayfish which is hard to come by in Waco, TX.

The bacon cheese fries appetizer was the only thing edible here. The calamari was tough, chewy, and dry. The shrimp was flavorless and the sausage basically seemed to be the prepackaged kind you get in plastic in the bacon section at grocery stores. We weren't offered any kind of specials, however after we already ordered we heard the waiter with the people behind us say there was a special to get free wings with your meal. Overall, this was way over priced and not at all tasty. We won't be going back.

We went there and didn't know what to order.

Susan what's terrible and I got sick from that place

Food is okay service sucks

Had the wings and they were okay. The french fries were pretty good.

Not impressed took long time to get served . Waitress was nice but took a long time even for drinks

The food was ok however be aware of the false menu prices. I ordered lobster because the menu said 9.99 when I got my bill the lobster was 14.99 when I questioned this the waiter told me he forgot to mention the price change. The manager came over and offered me $2 off. Telling me lobster was to expensive to give it to me at 9.99. I refused to hear that and told him I would only pay what the menu said. He then took the menu to show me where it says that prices vary by weight and time, but he could not find it. He did find at the bottom of the menu where it said prices may change without notice, it took him forever to find d this. I insisted on paying only 9.99. Finally he says he will pay the $5 out of his pocket. I will not go back.

I give this rating as modest 2 star only because the food ended up being good. They list as opens at 11am well there doors were open but thats about it. Me and 5 others sat inside for 30 before we saw anyone. Hell one of ua even called the place from the inside and when they answered he asked if they were open today. Once waiter came out and took our orders it was clear there was no manager or leader on staff. All in all we were there for 1hr and 40 minutes by the time i left the parking lot.

The food is ok for the price it could be better though. I ordered the shrimp and crab combo to taste like garlic and butter with no spice but when I received it tasted nothing like garlic and butter and was slightly spicy. The atmosphere was terrible and the music was that of a lonely black lady. Will not be going back.

Horrible food and bad service!

The food was not worth it and it was expensive I could have went to Louisiana and got more food for half the price

First walked in hostess told us to wait she on phone. Then it took 20 minutes to get tea only 10 customers there. Food terrible.

Staff wasnt trained to do thier jobs.No cooks that nite but one.Foods was horrible.

Fish had no seasoning lemon pepper wings were dry waiter was helpful and friendly but food not worth money spent. Would not recommend have had better in Waco. Very disappointed.

The food was nasty I order my own catch which was shrimp sausage and a snow crab for once the shrimp was over cook , corn ovrer cook and the crab legs meat smelled so sour I had to throw it in the trash and the customer service kept getting my order wrong and she had a very bad attitude I will never go here again and I advice people to save their money because this place is not worth it at all I’m very piss because I came to get good seafood smh.

If i could give it zero stars i would.... we waited 30 minutes after they said it would take 20 then they pronounced a simple name completly wrong lets just say the name ended with 2 n's and somehow they replaced the n's with e's and an african american couple took our spot in line and they just seated us as if we wernt there we didnt get to eat but im sure the food is as terrible as the service not professional at all a bunch of kids running around never ate and never will terrible place

It was awful the grease was old, wings fried way to hard couldn't chew them, fish tasted like old grease, sent wings back twice and got the same results should've been refunded, ask to speak to manager and it took him 20mins to come out and when he did he was very rude..

Took 30 minutes to fry 3 pieces of fish which were harder then cardboard and forgot our mushrooms. Should have went to Long John silvers this place won't make it here for long.ANYBODY GIVING THIS PLACE A GOOD RATING EITHER WORKS THERE OR OWNS IT

Ordered 2 lbs of crawfish and a half lb of sasuage and it was surely 1lb as I order 2lb everywhere I go and it was for sure not 2lb. The waiter said the bags are preweighed before the crawfish is cooked maybe whoever weighed them wasn’t paying attention. Meisha said the cook was coming out but the host from the front cane to me and said the same thing. She said that maybe the crawfish were “healthy or somethin” I weigh 153 and wage everything on plate including the corn and 2 potatoes and sasuage and I’m going to home to eat more food. Wasn’t even approached by a manger Waste of 25 dollars. Would not recommend to anyone. The person who brought me there had previously came he said his sauce tasted super bad. Go to the Catch or Tejun if you want seafood. Awful

First time there food was bad, wings were small and dried up no meat on them. The blue crab was cooked with no seasoning the had the seasoning put on it. Will not go back or tell any one to go there.

How do i do a negitive star? Fast to sit, but down hill from there. First, where were the wings? Second, ordered drinks and waited 10 minutes for 2 waters and a lemonade. After i got up and asked for them.......again. Place was empty. Third, just oily. And forth, the seasoning saturated everything to the point where unless you knew what its supossed to be you couldnt taste anything.

Came here when it first opened and the food was great, service was great. Came back a while later and to say this place went downhill would be a mass understatement. The shrimp the first time was great, the second time around it was like a completely different batter and half of them still had doughy batter. I told them that it wasn't good, they didn't even bother to ask why. One thing that really caused an issue is their price on lobster tails. Normally any other seafood place would say market price if it was market price. This place however has a price listed but then in small print on a different part of the menu it mentions that it's market price. A blatant bait and switch. Definitely not coming back again.

The music is particularly trash. Staff is trash. The food is poorly seasoned and badly presented. The atmosphere is cheap and empty feeling.. Trash experience in general. Deciphering the menu was annoying too. I thought the cheesecake would help my experience but the plastic case it was in looked like it was from a middle school lunch; tasted that way too.. At least I got a free pair of latex gloves out of it 😒

Extremely overpriced. ($55.00 for 2 people) Waitstaff was not knowledgeable on menu items. Menu was very confusing. Food was mediocre at best. Since it is new, I was hopeful that it would be outstanding. Been there, done that, wouldn't go back. The iced tea was good.

Service was bad, food was very sub par. We waited 45 minutes after ordering before we saw our food and my order was wrong. I asked for NON SPICY. I was given spicy, not once but twice. I was halfway through my bag when I got a good taste of the sauce in the bottom that was very spicy. I decided it wouldn't be worth it to send it back. If you have a non spicy option then you need to realize that people ordering it expect something with no kick, no spiciness. The onion rings were served with no sauce, we had to ask for Ranch. The breading was gushy and slid right off. You could tell it had no seasoning and needed to be fried longer. The fried shrimp was the same. The wings were a joke. Obviously nothing more than oversized chicken nuggets tossed in sauce. My son asked for barbecue and even he said that was spicy. The servers looked like they had no idea where they were supposed to be, and everyone was trying to work the bar at once. Not to mention whoever was walking around in yoga pants, a tank top, and dark sunglasses even though it was dark outside, looked very unprofessional. If you're working you need to look clean and professional. not like you just came in off Bellmead's most wanted list. Our waitress brought us unsweet tea instead of sweet, and it took forever for her to come back over so we could get that fixed, then it took forever to get refills. This was our first time and our last. We won't be back and I'm telling all my friends and family to avoid this place too.

I'm currently sitting in this place right now. We got seen by our waitress twice. First time to get our drink order and appetizer of onion rings ordered. Second time she was when she brought our appetizer and drinks so we can order our dinner. Mind you my wife and I ordered sweet tea which she confirmed twice with us. We got unsweet tea. We had to flag her down to get our correct drinks. The onion rings are awfully brittle and fall apart. They taste even blander. Now currently 25 mins after we placed our order after we put our order in, we have had no refills or any communication of any kind. Two tables on either side of us left after they had ordered as this service was terrible. I don't blame them. Dont bother asking for a "second chance" cus you failed your first impression.

We were served crawfish that had obviously been cooked and reheated at least a day before. The meat inside the tails had the consistency of mashed potatoes and was not edible. The waffle fries also seemed stale as if they where cooked hours prior to us ordering. Although the shrimp tasted good we really didn't want to eat considering that proper care hadn't been taken preparing our other food. Word of advice to management/owner don't risk someone's health to save a buck.

We went on Sunday. It took over 45 minutes to get our food. Our server was nice, but that was the highlight of the trip. We asked if the crawfish were previously cooked, because they tasted rubbery. They had not been purged properly either. We were assured they were LIVE crawfish, but unfortunately they were not. I feel like we were lied to. They did not offer to discount our meal, they only offered free dessert, which we declined. My husband got food poisoning. He's been sick for 3 days. I called to tried to get a refund, but they refused. They did say that the crawfish is FROZEN and already cooked. They should have offered to refund our money. Never again!! Save your money and go to Tejun.

False advertising. Will not get your wings with any veggies, even though it specifically says it comes with it on the menu. The serving sizes of the dipping sauces are super small. Horseradish is weak. They also let solicitors interrupt you while you are eating. Who does that? This place! So... if you want to eat there, bring your own celery sticks, your own ranch and horseradish, and be prepared to have your third rate meal interrupted by someone trying to sell you an overpriced mug with an open bag of candy for $15.

Wings seemed like they were precooked and the flavor just dumped on then while my fries were very greasy as if they were dunked in cold grease and were not even warm, I also had hush puppies that were flavorless and raw. All in all the only good item I had there was my Dr Pepper.

The service was nice and friendly, but the food is a different story. I had the Crawfish and ordered it extra spicy. It was the worst I have ever eaten. The Crawfish was bland, dry, and was not even spicy. The Calimari was good. I would not recommend this place. If you want real good seafood, then Tejun in Robinson is the place to go.
