The crab was over cooked and the claw sizes were on the small side (that’s kind of out of their control). Everything else was fine.
It is one of the best seafood restaurants in Atlanta. This is not a very public place, however you would be surprised at how many people show up. I went at around 6:00pm and waited roughly 15 minutes for my order (2 shrimp plates with extra shrimp and a side plate) to be taken, and 15-20 minutes to receive my order. The wait was not bad for me considering everything is made to order. The food was well proportioned, it was seasoned good, but the butter made everything a little too salty, the potatoes were also soft and mushy. Overall, I gave the place 4 stars because I was not disappointed. I wanted a large plate of good southern style seafood, in a comfortable setting with good customer service, and that is exactly what I received.
I kept hearing my coworkers rave....had to check it out..... Better than the hype. Seriously good food. Worth the wait. Its prepped/made to order. 30 bucks will feed a couple with enough for leftovers...
Recommended by a friend for my Birthday! 1st visit no wait time . Great portion for the cost & taste! Will visit again. I don't do crabs sorry ! Shrimp plate was huge & tasty !
The food was amazing.
I'm a California guy, dating an Atlanta girl, and I was out for a visit. Found this spot when looking for a place to get lunch. The spot may not look like much. It's inside an older house, and you sit on kitchen chairs while you wait for your cooked to order meal. If you're looking for some fancy, linen tablecloth seafood restaurant, this isn't for you.
If you're looking for a place where the people are wonderful, the food is worth every penny, in a neighborhood, old school environment, you just found your new spot.
I ordered the large snow crab meal, and my girl ordered the small blue crab meal. Both came with the crab, shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and corn. A real Southern style plate. Other places load you up on the cheap stuff, lots of potatoes, sausage and corn, with a bit of crab and shrimp. Not here. You get more of the good stuff than you thought you would, and those potatoes are so good that I saved a chunk of crab for later.
If they have slices of red velvet cake that day, get that too. You won't be disappointed.
I'd move to Atlanta to eat here at least weekly.
Y'all are doing a good thing there, don't ever change.
