Got a pound of shrimp in the whole schabang sauce with a side of rice and chicken tenders. The sauce is super good and spicy and the shrimp was nice and hot. The rice at the end and perfect to pour all the cause onto it. I will say you’ll need to peel the shrimp and it will burn your fingers a bit so be prepared

The shrimp here is always amazingly delicious!! With the cajun flavor and medium hot!! Adding a corn on the cub and lots of lemon! Yummmm! And the service always friendly and attentive. The waiting time can be a little inconvenient but today, miraculously, was only 15 minutes for us; although ir can be up to 45 to an hour waiting.

This place is so popular. We always have at least a 45 minute wait to get seated. It doesn't matter if you're the first ones to arrive when they open or after coming after the lunch rush. Just be prepared to wait a bit. So come with a big appetite if you love seafood and don't mind getting your hands dirty to eat it because your hands and fingers will be covered in sauce throughout your meal. Lobster, catfish, shrimp, and oysters galore. They will set you up with a big table covered in butcher paper and give you bibs and wet naps a plenty. Fun experience for the whole family. They unfortunately only serve beer. They don't serve wine or hard liquor. Parking: Lots of parking in the shopping center but it gets busy
