    This is by far the most unusual and delicious dining experiences I had in the area! Crab served in very wild way, extremely tasty! Highly recommend visiting!

    My girlfriend and I are huge, and I mean huge, Cajun Shrimp aficionados, but once again this place misses the mark. Craw Daddy in San Jose still remains our favorite! P.S. Make sure to pay your bill!

    Nice relaxed atmosphere with TV's throughout. Love their Maine Lobster Roll. Not a cheap dinner at $18.95 when you add cup of clam chowder for $5.95, but well worth it!

    Great food, and usually without a wait. Want to make your own at home? They sell the sauce starting at just $4!

    Great food, horrible service! They never check up on you so if you need something you need to go to the waitresses. Waited almost 30 mins for our bill.

    It's yummy for what it is. IMO, not as good as BC but its worth a try. Sweet potatoes were over cooked/fried but not burnt.
