    Source is not as good as juicy crab but everything else is fantastic .. probably better value. Most importantly there is no wait.

    The interior is also quite fun.

    I would definitely consider coming back for Cajun boil !

    Got take out on the "all the seafood" boil and I am so so so so soooo disappointed!!!! Beware if you're getting take out! They will throw all rotten crap in your meal since you can't really complain if you aren't in the restaurant. They think they can get away with serving rotten seafood if the diner isn't in the restaurant.

    My stomach was so upset after eating the boil. I knew I should've stopped as soon as I saw the blue crab they put in the boil was rotten as hell! Legit, cracked open a claw and it was straight liquid. The crab was SO old that the meat has turned into rancid liquid! I was so grossed out I threw out the whole blue crab, and could feel how light and empty the crab was. Pretty sure blue crab is poisonous if not fresh when cooked. I just can't believe a restaurant would risk killing someone to save a few bucks on using ROTTEN crabs.

    Shrimp wasn't fresh either. The meat towards the head was super mushy, like would melt in between your fingers. Melting shrimp, honestly never seen that before; THAT can't be normal.

    I have never been so upset about a meal and honestly the health department needs to inspect better or close this place down. I spent $29 and got nothing but disappointment and shitty day (and to be honestly, quite literally).

    P.s. their sauce ain't good either. It's literally "layered", with all the "butter" on the top and salty seasoning on the bottom. So unless you want to dunk your fingers wayyyy down past the butter layer, you ain't gonna taste anything flavorful.

    We just eat there and unfortunately at the end of the food we saw a mouse walking in front of us.
    The food it's no good either. No to expensive but it is because the food is just okay.
    I do not recommend this place.
    Sorry. I used to put good reviews all the time.

    I really enjoy this place. Service is always prompt and pretty attentive (probably because I'm too busy stuffing my face and don't ask for much).

    Value: for the seafood combo for $26. It includes 1/2lb each of: snow crab legs, head-on shrimp, crawfish, mussels, and blue crab (read 1 here). You get the usual accompaniment of sausage, potatoes and corn. I chose the Er'thing seasoning in medium. Unfortunately, it did not have the kick I was expecting. Still good though. The shrimp and mussels were of great size. Compared to some other establishments, I must say I like the value here a lot.

    Atmosphere: typical seafood shack decor. Nothing out-of-this-world but I do very much appreciate the hand washing sink outside of the restrooms.

    Parking: I hate the parking here. There just doesn't seem to be enough. Especially when the restaurant next door is busy.

    I definitely recommend this place for a good seafood boil.

    It was our first time at this seafood spot. We've driven past it several times and finally decided to stop in. Definitely one of my new favorite seafood spots to eat at in Atlanta!
