“ Great food I always go with my family and enjoy this Amazing seafood and the price it's balanced ”
“ Went there for my Birthday! Delicious food and our waitress Jasmine was top notch! This Gem of a restaurant is hidden away behind the Kohl's, Kirkland etc plaza! ”
“ We split the daily special. It was delicious. Glad they gave us bibs and gloves. This was a boil dinner and it would have been real messy with them. ”
“ What a fun spot for a birthday celebration and good seafood! We ordered fried shrimp, hush puppies, and a king crab and mussels boil. The catfish review from my husband was "meh" but everything else we had was very good. ”
“ Service is always good. I've had a lot of seafood places and have also worked in some as well. The seafood here is really good with its flavors. Surprisingly enough, I really enjoy their wings the most. It's a nice restaurant that I wouldn't expect to see in a place like Michigan, but I'd consider it a hidden gem. I'm surprised they're not more busy. ”
“ The crab legs here are great. That snap when you break them. Got ours Cajun. Not sure about other seafood because it had crab in the business name. They need to manage large groups better. Had one waitress that had out table and two large groups of 10 or more each. Had to request a new server because she was overwhelmed. 2 tables seated after us got service because there server didn't have large tables and weren't required to assist each other. This would normally put it at lower stars but will keep an eye out next time. ”
“ This restaurant is still reminiscent of the Joe's Crab Shack that it used to be. Our drinks were good - the perfect mix of sweetness and alcohol for our lunch date. Service was good and our food arrived very quickly. It was perfectly fried - the perfect crispness in fried seafood. There's a play yard connected to the patio for littles if they are joining you for your meal. There is also a Jack Sparrow ish statue that greets you at the front door. Sitting in his lap is a fun picture opp. This restaurant is a good place for fried seafood, but they do have a large selection of non fried food options. In all, a great place to take a break and fill your gullet while you are shopping at Great Lakes Crossing. ”
“ This is a very interesting crab-centric restaurant. The menu offers multiple options to enjoy snow crab as well as other crab and shellfish options including: crawfish, shrimp, lobster, king crab, scallops, Dungeness crab, Mussels. They also have fried fish options: Catfish, Tilapia, Shrimp. Most of the dishes are served in a plastic bag that includes the seasoning. You can choose the level of heat (mild-medium-hot) as well as the blend of spice between Cajun, garlic and butter or A+ (combination of both). This is a different dining experience than your used to. The plastic bag keeps the seafood nice and warm and tender while you work on removing the shell from your crab/lobster/shrimp/mussels,etc. Our server did a nice job with eight in our party and one toddler. We didn't have to ask for our beverages to be refilled. Got to like that. If you're looking for a unique seafood dining experience you'll like this restaurant. ”
“ It's definitely worth going for the experience! Admittedly, I don't like spicy food, so "Cajun" isn't my jam but I went here to celebrate a birthday. It was a great time! Our server was excellent! Drinks were delicious, strong enough, and served quickly. The place was clean. We ordered the boiled seafood, which they bring out in an inflated plastic bag on a plate and untie for you. They provide you with a bib, gloves, trash can on the table, forks, napkins, etc. there are even sinks available to wash your hands instead of going to the bathroom. For my meal, I chose mild spice level and it was still too spicy for my liking but I tolerated it and obviously, that's the flavor of the business. They also made a big deal about a birthday, which was appreciated. We haven't experienced that since precovid. ”
