Live this place. Always get the shrimp medium spicy with corn in the bag. Bliss! They also have really good fried fish and cajun fries.
Tracy CoronelOctober 14, 2013I have always loved adding a little sugar to my cajun sauce with butter garlic! Perfect combi 👍 super duper yum! Must try!!! 👏
Kathryn MeunierApril 18, 2015Ahhmazing! Medium is definitely spicy but worth it! Put the corn in the bag fosho... Oysters are fresh!- Anna JamesSeptember 16, 2013Make yourself comfortable, order a pound of butter garlic prawns(medium spicy) with a corncob. Enjoy... Repeat.
Stuart Q. XuAugust 25, 2013They provide a spicy scale as Plain, Mild, Medium, Hot, and Fire... Try Fire, and feel how it burns your anus the next morning!- Naomi PestanasAugust 5, 2010Go with a group of friends, order 1 lb or more of shrimp, and enjoy. Top 40 music in the background + flat screen televisions + good company = Good Times!
Al B.September 9, 2016It's great, limited choices though, and don't underestimate a pound worth of seafood...
JoyceDecember 16, 2013Its an ok place. But nothing beats the Boiling Crab. Boiling crab- sauce more tastier & 1lb of shrimp only $9.99, Crawdaddy- sauce very watery, & 1lb of shrimp is $12.39
- Cheryl ❤️ MarquezSeptember 5, 2013We went here on a groupon and probably won't be back. It's not as good as the Boiling Crab.

Teresa NgoJuly 21, 2010To experience maximum marination peel all the shrimp and throw it back in the bag to soak :)

"Such a fun experience! We got the shambalang sauce with the 2 lb headless shrimp combo, which comes with 2 corns, 2 potatoes (YUM) and sausages. 1 lb in each it got a too salty and we got full."
