"Was worth the wait! We have been waiting to enjoy this place and it was worth it. Very delicious. I shared their #2 combo with mild Louisiana Rub. Every bite was full of flavor. I highly recommend it. We also got the Mango Habanero and lemon pepper chicken wings. They were fresh and crispy. The kiddo enjoyed their chicken tenders and clam chowder. For my main dish I got the Cajun Fish. It was served with a side of rice and salad. The sweet sauce on the salad brought the flavors together. Overall our experience was great. Thank you to our server who was amazing and handled our big part with care."

"First time here. Went to the one in Salem will try the one in Portland another day. Time was about 5 pm so the place was not crowded. Was promptly greeted and seated. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. The bathroom was very clean and very good sign. Jose came by and took our order. Very friendly and at the end had outstanding service. Being first time here, he was very friendly and informative. Made a few suggestions I will try next. Customer service was an A+. The food arrive . We had combo #4 with Lobster and combo #3 with dungeness crab both in the garlic butter. Each combo comes with two corns, two potatoes and four sausages slices. First bite was the corn that has been soaking in the pure garlic butter heaven. I took one but and made that noise that says "Oh my God.". My son and daughter said the same thing. The flavor was outstanding if your a garlic lover. The clams, shrimp, crawfish, crab and lobster in that sauce was making my mouth sing with every bite. The only food item that not above average is the sausage. It was good but just average in flavor. My only suggestion would be some crusty French bread to soak up some of the juices. Even though this was my first time is definitely will not be my last time. The amount was $ 171. A little bit on the expensive side but it did fill up three adults. With the amount of garlic and how messy it is ...I would say definitely a good special occasion event, but not a good first date though ."

"Had an awesome experience. The Louisiana seasoning was pretty awesome my brother and I wished we had maybe added on 2 more corn and a sausage add on to our #2 combo because the corn and sausage were amazing. Enjoyed our meal and had a great server. You can tell that the restaurant used to be some boring chain maybe a sizzler? The atmosphere dosn't quite fit the food but I didn't feel it took away from the experience especially once we got our food."

"I have been trying to find a new seafood boil. The other place I was going to has gone down. This place had great flavors, and spice. The price was good. Other places will give you a handful of fries. They gave us a good basket."
