    If you’re a fan of seafood, this place is an absolute must-visit! The seafood boil is hands down the star of the show, everything is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The shrimp are plump and juicy, the crab legs are tender and sweet. What really sets this spot apart, though, is the seasoning, they have the perfect balance of spice and flavor, and you can customize the heat level to your liking. The portions are generous, so it’s perfect for sharing. The sides, like the garlic noodles and shrimp tacos are so delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel special.
