To say that customer service was amazing would be an understatement! Food was delicious ! The seafood was fresh . I love spice and when the say spicy they mean spicy ! I’ll definitely have to come back for a celebration!
Food was incredible, the service was top notch! Our server saw that we were indecisive on their seasonings so he brought out samples of their sauces. Outstanding!! At the end of our meal, they brought over cheesecake bites as a complimentary dessert. For our first time in, I can confidently say we will be back.
Stopped in for lunch since we were out of town. The staff here is so friendly and helpful. They even let us taste the flavors of sauce before ordering the crab legs. The food was excellent! Price was also very good. I highly recommend!
Great food, great prices, and a very convenient location in the University area of Charlotte, NC. They offer much more than just seafood, so there’s something for everyone. I’ll definitely be back! Be sure to ask for the waiter Sai when you visit..excellent service.
We had the best seafood here!! Sai our server was nothing short of amazing!! His hospitality and proficiency is the best of the best!! Second to none, hands down, clearly no debating!! Food made our taste buds dance!! We will definitely be back!!
AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. I ordered something too hot for me to handle, (most places say hot and they don’t mean it) I definitely underestimated the heat. Staff saw me struggled and provided so much care and empathy, gave me extra butter and even gave me cheesecake to help me with heat, everyone is so sweet, I will definitely be back, food was amazing!!! I had a terrible day and this definitely made my whole week, customer service means a lot to me since I also work in the field. THANK YOU STAFF💕
Amazing place to grab your guilty pleasure aka juicy, buttery seafood. My boyfriend and I 2nd time and we will be back! The bathrooms were clean, and they have a huge selection at the bar and their menu is top-notch!
They had a very friendly staff very helpful and made sure were had everything we needed. Food was really good and the synopsis was great for watching the Panther’s win!! Will definitely be back it was a group of 20 or more and everything went smoothly
Had a great experience here with my family. We really enjoyed the seafood boil, specially the meaty snowcrabs, shrimps & mussels. Good service where they explained the flavoring & helped us to select the items for our group. Will definitely try again next time.
I am from Germany and never had seafood boils before, this place was very nice and the owner let us try their sauce flavors since we didnt know which to choose. Definetly recommend!
What a great little spot! Love the seafood boil options! We had a triple combo bowl and it was fantastic! This is not a fancy place-paper tablecloth, bucket for bibs, napkins, and even gloves! Service was fast and pleasant. Food was hot! I will be back and am bringing friends!!!!
Sai was the most amazing waiter ever! He was so attentive, helpful, and patient. I was dining alone, so I was nervous about how the experience would go but Sai made sure everything went smoothly for me. All the staff were very helpful and checked on me often. I was there for the seafood boil, which was absolutely amazing. A great value for the amount of food I got. Sai let me sample different sauce combinations before picking so I got the perfect one. He also helped me select the best option for me off the menu. I ended up getting the Snow Crab Special with a mixed sauce that was garlic butter, old bay, Cajun, and the house special mixed together. I took a long time to eat, but no one rushed me or made me feel like I was taking too long. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
Visited this restaurant today for lunch.... Food was very very delicious... We ordered a bowl of shrimp, crab with the side of potatoes,eggs with the house special sauce it was great definitely should try the house special sauce. Our server was very welcoming and made great recommendations answered all the questions with patience. Overall we had a fantastic dining experience. It's also have a limited Indian menu we ordered fried rice for take out which is tasty too... Definitely a good spot to visit
I did a large order at this restaurant for my daughter’s graduation party & everyone was super pleased! We did a low country boil. It was delicious & the quality was great for the price. It was ready on time & we were provided with everything needed. Highly recommend!!
Everything was fantastic! We went on a Monday night so it wasn’t too busy, but our server, Sai, was incredibly attentive and even let me sample different sauces so I could choose the perfect one for my seafood boil. I’ve had many seafood boils before, and for a first visit, this place pleasantly surprised me. The flavors were spot-on, the food came out quickly, and everything was cooked perfectly. As a fun bonus, they took a cute Polaroid photo of us and let us write a message to add to their wall of fame. Such a great touch! We’ll definitely be back.
Nick was awesome! He recommended the off the menu “special sauce” for my boil, it was great!! The combo came with egg, potatoes, and sausage!! Pricing was also very reasonable!! Highly recommend!!
I just recently moved here from New Orleans La, and when I tell you this place has got to be the best seafood that we have had since being up here! They sauces are done beautifully, and that's coming from achef of 15 years experience! I'm truly impressed and will be a regular customer!
The food was fairly decent. We got 2 pick 2 and 1 pick 3 boils. I got the house special sauce in mine. It was okay, but had an unexpected sweetness. My wife got the "mix em up" sauce where they mix all the sauce, minus the house special, and it was much better in my opinion. The guy working while we were there was nice as can be, but came around maybe once during the good stretch of time that we were there (roughly 45 minutes to an hour). I don't know if it was because of the time of day that we went there, but there was only 2 other groups there with us and they showed up around the second half of our time there. Overall, not a bad place to stop at.
Today, March 1st, I ordered a Pick 2 meal around 8–9 PM. I was really excited to try this restaurant. When I arrived to pick up my order, the employee who took my order and prepared my food placed my change on the counter instead of handing it to me directly, which felt a bit unprofessional and immediately made me uncomfortable. After getting home and eating for about 5–10 minutes, I noticed a hair in my food (as shown in the photo). Earlier, I had also called because my shrimp was not prepared the way I requested. During that call, I was told that I ordered something different than what I asked for, so I chose to let it go and continue eating. Unfortunately, that’s when I discovered the hair. It’s disappointing because the food itself tasted good, but the overall experience and sanitation issue completely ruined it for me. Because of this, I unfortunately will not be returning.
