Actually had a good experience my first time even though I was warned by someone that service is bad. I'll be coming back for more visits.

If you're worried about rising a spice level when deciding your order, just get some cajun fries at the next level up. That way you'll know if you can handle it on your seafood for next time!

Forget the oysters...they're tasteless and not fresh. Focus on the cooked seafood
