The food is absolutely amazing ! My server was 10/10 always attentive and asking if anyone needed anything. Food came out at a nice pace and was a nice place. Will definitely be going back.

Love the casual atmosphere and music. Our server was friendly and stopped by many times to check on us. She did missed an order, but we had plenty so we didn't remind her. The seafood was very flavorful and delicious. In my opinion, not a whole of places can exceed with the flavors. And with the price, it was plentiful.

This is now officially my new favorite seafood boil spot! The inside of the restaurant was super cute with the hanging nets and I thought it was really cool that they let everyone autograph the walls. We started off with the lemon pepper wings which were delicious, super crispy and the dry rub was very flavorful. I was shocked to see the prices of the seafood boil combos- fair pricing for seafood and more cheap than alot of the surrounding boil places. I ordered a customized boil with a 1/2lb each of clams, mussels, shrimp and snow crab that also came with potatoes and corn which only came out to 44$! With that price ill be coming back here all the time! Additionally, the sauce for the boil was outstanding. I got the cajun sauce with the hot seasoning and wow I wanted to slurp all the sauce up with a spoon it was that good! Our waitress was very friendly and the service was great- our wings came out within 6 minutes and the boil was out shortly after.

Came here for my birthday, and I had a blast. We ordered 3 pounds of crawfish, crab legs, and shrimp. Loved that it came with potatoes and corn in the mix as well. The Cajun seasoning was on point and made all the seafood so flavorful. Everything was also very fresh. I would recommend also getting the crab fried rice and using some of the sauce in the boil bag to drizzle over the rice - YUM. Would absolutely come here again.

I ordered the Shrimp po boy and asked for their island sauce (hot) and wow was it sooo good. If you've been to just be claws (now closed for good ) it reminds me of their spicy hot seasoning for the boils. The shrimp in the sandwich were so big and crispy! Definitely enjoyed that !! The establishment itself is very clean and spacious. Attached are the lunch menu

Great food, drinks and music! Place became packed around 8pm, but we sat immediately around 7 on a Saturday. Loved everything and largest king crab legs I've ever been offered at surprisingly reasonable prices! Fried shrimp basket was huge with a nice crunch! Fresh crabmeat rice was very good, but it's more like shredded crab on top versus my fave from Buddakan uses lump. We went with bag B for $95 that had full lobster split, huge shrimp, small clams, mussels, chorizo, corn, potatoes and massive king crab legs! Easily shareable up to 3 people. Got the everything sauce! Also ordered bag F which had plenty of snow crab . Shared a massive margarita with coronita side and Modelo. Many birthdays and they present your dessert with an awesome sparkler. Loved the nautical decor and bonus parking lot as it's in a mini mall! Definitely returning. Prices are extremely reasonable!

A hidden gem in a shopping center located in downtown Clifton! Full bar, good desserts. The best part is the seafood! You can order from the combo meal list or create your own! I got a whole lobster with scallops and snow crab legs - it comes with corn and potatoes.

This was my first time here, and I loved it so much that my friend and I decided that we need to come back and bring our family and friends as well. Upon entering there was so much space. We opted for the booth on the right side. There are tons of tables in the center for larger parties. To the left is the counter to pay, to the far right is the kitchen and the center is the bar . The waitress was wonderful. She explained the menu well, and also suggested which seasoning was best. We opted for the island seasoning which the waitress said it's a combo of all the seasonings into one. Best choice ever. I wanted TO LICK THE PLATE CLEAN! We were drizzling it on top of the corn and onto each bite of the crab fried rice. Which by the way rocked our world. It was presented in a bag and in a little bucket. Don't let that bucket fool you, it's a big a** bucket lol. It was so cute ! There were daily specials which included mussels and other seafood but we just ordered shrimp and crab since we aren't crazy about mussels. Shrimp was HUGE and so were the crab. I did not expect it to be so big and juicy! So fresh as well. We expected the plate to be on the smaller side but it was a nice surprise. On the day we went, there was no scallop and no tomato's for the salad. Totally a bummer. Hopefully the next time we visit there will be scallops. The pricing was so affordable btw, the boil for 2, house salad and crab fried rice was $60 total. We were totally stuffed and had to force the rice down towards the end. For the price, flavor, seating and freshness of everything it's a winner !! Oh btw there's PARKING!!!!!!! Praise the lord !

Seriously the best seafood boil I've ever had! I shared a "build your own" seafood boil with a friend of Dungeness crab and shrimp in their mild island special sauce which was a combination of all their sauces including old bay, Cajun, garlic butter and lemon pepper sauce. It came with potatoes and corn. We were licking up the sauce, it was so delicious! It went perfectly with the crab and made the corn delicious! Everything tasted so fresh. We also had the crab fried rice which was tasty and we spooned the sauce from the boil on top to make it even better! The place was large with some outdoor seating and plenty of parking. They even have happy hour specials! So glad I've found this spot because I'll definitely be a returning customer!
