From the minute we walked in, we were welcomed with lots of charm. Kevin the general manager was pleasant and professional. The... waitresses, Alana and Dawn were both so sweet and welcoming. We shared laughs and the food was amazing! When in this area ofTuscaloosa, please stop in for some sweet tea, seafood and key lime pie. Blessings for all that work here and all that come fora meal. Oh and all the other customers were friendly and we?re complimenting them as well. Don?t forget to tell them ?Kathy sentya?! Read more

The food is always wonderful. Our server, Ty was super friendly and made sure we had plenty of refills (an added plus). The... steamed shrimp is very good and the cocktail sauce is excellent. By the way, the BEST Key Lime Pie I have ever eaten??. I livein South Georgia and I know my Key Lime Pie. Read more

This was really good! I am impressed with the quality and consistency of the food here. There were 4 of us hungry people, and we... all wanted all you can eat shrimp! We all got them every order was fresh and cooked perfectly. They kept the refills coming andalso a few cocktails to go with them. The staff was friendly and attentive. The tables were kept clean. We couldn't have hadbetter service or food. Highly recommend keep up the good work! Tuscaloosa needed some decent quality seafood! Read more

Honestly, this place isn?t great. I ate here a couple of days ago with my dad and had a pretty iffy experience. I definitely... won?t be back here again because of it. Our server was fantastic though (I can?t remember her name, but she was absolutelywonderful)! She was very attentive, hardworking, and made sure we were satisfied with our meals. The other servers who wereworking that day were either not working diligently or were on a break because there were three other servers talking at a tablein the back for about an hour while this girl was running around making sure all her tables were satisfied. She did a fantasticjob at handling the situation though. She was really the best part about this restaurant because everything basically goesdownhill from there. Negatives: -The bathrooms are DISGUSTING -Silverware was dirty (asked for a new fork) -Out of severalitems or were told they were not good and to not order them -Portions are pretty small for the price -OVERPRICED FOOD -Frieswere droopy (not very crispy) Positives -The combo basket with whitefish and shrimp was good (waitress recommended), but theportion was small. -The homemade ranch and hot sauce was really good on the fish. Overall, I wouldn?t recommend this place andwon?t be back. There are better seafood places in Tuscaloosa. You?re better off going to the Captain D?s next door than here. Read more

Called in a curbside order and upon arrival, I was told at that time that they were out of crabs for one order. Not sure why... they didn?t call to tell me so the 2 meals could be cooked at the same time, or I could cancel the order all together. Turns outthat my order had been made and sitting there while the other order had to be cooked. That was fresh but not enough to meritbeing a meal. 2 crab cakes. My order was over cooked and not fresh AND not what I ordered - hard catfish strips (not much fish)instead of flounder, a few shrimp and fries underneath, also not fresh since this meal was prepared 45 minutes before. I calledthe owner after tasting and asked for a refund. He said he didn?t have the ability to give me a credit. I refused a redo of thisawful food. What a disappointment to take to a friends house for her birthday meal. Two pitiful crab cakes is not a full meal. So after much time wasted on the phone and $36, I don?t recommend this place at all.

Delicious Cajun shrimp and very friendly service make this a favorite spot for me. I also can recommend the catfish either... grilled or cajun. For appetizers they have a yummy smoked tuna dip and crunchy salty fried green tomatoes. There cheese gritsare truly loaded with cheese and Sweet potato fries are worth the small upcharge. Finally every plate comes with the shrimpcoleslaw which sounds odd but is a delectable way to cut the heat of Cajun spices or the hot sauce. It has cute little tinyshrimp in it too. The atmosphere evokes an old Florida fried seafood joint but cleaner by far. Seating is pretty spacious sousually not too long a wait even if they are busy. You can also get shrimp and crabs by the 1/2 pound increments for dine in orto go. Read more
