“ We found this place on Yelp, and we're very pleased to report an enjoyable and tasty experience! We ordered the lemon pepper wings, and I'm sorry, we ate them so fast I didn't get a photo! Trust me when I say, they arrived in a basket drowning in butter and lemon pepper garlic bits. The zinging lemon flavor was mouth watering, and the wings were cooked to a perfect crisp. The flavor was super lemony, simply delicious! I kept dredging my wing into the basket to get more garlic bits. Highly recommend these! We ordered the Drift combo, with snow crab legs, black mussels, shrimp, and scallops, with the Crackin' Crab blend. The scallops were large and tender, as well as the shrimp, large and plump. The snow crab was tender and fresh, and the mussels were also good. Flavor was a delicious blend, so yummy! We also tried the dungeness crab and were so pleased to see how big the legs were. Totally worth it! We'll definitely be back! ”
“ This is classic seafood boil! And really good! Perfect amount of heat for the Cajun seasoning and lots of garlic and butter! The corn was fresh corn and we went in February! The servers were super sweet and great at keeping the drinks filled. If you can't handle heat you can just get garlic butter, or get 2 drinks at the table. Ha ha ha... Can't wait to go back, get my hands dirty and have a great night of food and fun. ”
“ 5 star Seafood boil w/mild crackin sauce. Sauce had great flavor. Fried catfish, oyster's and chicken tenders the kids didn't like. Lacked flavor when I tried the oysters. If ever in town again, I will def get the boil & sauce. ”
“ If you're ready to get crackin' on some fresh seafood, then this is the place to be! Cajun style peel and eat shellfish is one of my favorite things to indulge in and this restaurant does it right. The service was great and very friendly. The location has plenty of parking and there was no wait when I visited during the week. The Blue point oysters were very tasty and refreshing so I'd recommend those if you're a fan of oysters. I also had the extra hot crackin sauce with snow crab, and this level of heat was on the border of too much for me and I'm a lover of spice. The crab was still delicious and cooked perfectly though. My boyfriend had his crab in hot (second highest heat level) and it was the best, so I'll order that next time. The sauce was a scrumptious blend of garlic, butter, lemon and pepper! We also had the headless shrimp and it was amazing. My seafood craving was more than satisfied and I can't wait to go back! ”
