Ordered my food today at 5:00 pm and picked it up around 5:20-5:30 ish. This is probably like my third or fourth time at this spot and it has been a while since my last visit. I was disappointed getting food that was room temp and not hot considering the place opens at 5. I live pretty close to the place to walk to it too. I ordered a 1 pound of crab and 1 pound of crawfish. The crab legs themselves were pretty small and I could tell they weren’t of quality. I feel like I was given half a pound of crawfish, instead of a pound. The potatoes were slightly undercooked too. I probably won’t be back to this establishment and stick to where I usually go.

I am NEVER one to leave bad reviews , but I'm still in shock at the fact that yall did this. I ate here lastnight and I've never been so disappointed. I've never NOT finished a boil bag ever until lastnight. This was easily the worst boil I've ever had. I ordered a lemonade to start and it was literally lemon water with syrup at the bottom of a bag, which you can't turn over to shake or anything because it's a bag of liquid, so bad start there. The boils come out ,(1/2 lb crab , 1/2 lb shrimp and potatoes + $3.50 extra for sausage) and it was a bunch of Little tiny broken up crab legs with nothing in them -definitely not a half pound and looked like they fished them from the bottom of a bucket. I probably had one decent leg. The potatoes were rock solid and looked like they were sitting all day , dark at the top and white in the middle , and then just thrown in a microwave. I had about 6 shrimp in my bag which was supposed to be 1/2 lb. And then 2 (couldn't even find a 3rd) of the tiniest cuts of sausage . The sauce tasted like it started as ketchup and they just kinda added what they thought should make it taste like a seafood boil. Overall the one star is generous. My partner and I left and literally crossed the street to KFire to sit down and have a meal after that. I don't know how this place is even open.
