    Hubby and I came to the beach today. I had been craving boiling crab so hubby gave me the option of going there or trying this new place. We came here and it didn't disappoint! Food is so good and they have great deals here. Everyone is so kind and attentive! Love the music playing. We got the smothered fries - delicious Fried zucchini- best I've ever had! Calamari-crispy, delicious and hubby said the sauce that came with it was really good Gumbo-yum Shrimp in house sauce with corn, sausage and potatoes. So good!! If you like boiling crab and such, definitely recommend this place!!

    Was craving Cajun shrimp but didn't want to spend an arm and a leg going to the place in Convoy. I am so glad I found this place! Cravings satisfied! My husband and I ordered the following: - 1 lb of peeled shrimp house sauce medium with 1 corn - 1/2 lb shrimp (headless) house sauce atomic - Cajun fries - small rice Everything was great, but I would recommend getting the headless shrimp with shell versus the peeled shrimp because the peeled shrimp didn't taste as flavorful or as juicy as the shrimp with the shell on. If you love spice, the atomic is the way to go. Atomic is spicy, but not unbearable. The medium didn't seem spicy at all to me. The fries were good, pretty basic but I loved soaking it in the sauce that the shrimp came in and then dipping it in ranch. The shrimp sauce tasted so good on the white rice along with some lemon juice! Yum! Service was good! Our waiter was nice and came by when we needed him. The ambiance is casual so you definitely don't need to dress up.
