Come early to avoid the wait. Self parking is available next door for a fee. Everything is tasty and expensive. 1. Pick your item. 2. Tell them how you want it cooked. 3. Pick the flavor. 4. Enjoy!

Monica MichelleMay 9, 2016You can never go wrong with fried oysters, Cajun fries, and shrimp the whole shabang. Since this location is fairly new and hidden the wait is nothing compared to other locations.
Susan S.April 7, 2015I ordered the Cajun clam chowder and didn't really like it but our waitress was super sweet about it and comped it. Got the medium spicy shrimp and loved it! Super messy but super good!
ShrouqSeptember 22, 2019Everything about this place’s just insanely great. I love the staff, food, place and the area. I just love LA man
We Love Boiling Crab! You have to get Whole Sha-bang Medium with 1 sausage and 1 potato. Also get extra dipping sauce with whole sha-bang XXX on the side to dip and enjoy.
Kholood ALhussamiAugust 13, 2019Plenty choices of seafood with different sauces and degrees of spice, fries with lemon and pepper is a must and dont forget to add some rice to the juice of spices!
E LeeNovember 8, 2019The snow crab legs with garlic sauce was delish! Freshest calamari ever tasted and lemon pepper fries that should not be missed.
Kay BlairApril 2, 2020This is the restaurant that has perfect food. As we started to eat, we found it very tempting! What a fantastic restaurant! The food met our expectations!
YaZ …March 13, 2015Roll up your sleeves and dig in good, order: the whole shebang with either med. if you like spicy or mild or you don't, I love their stump.
