This was excellent. Food was fantastic, service was great, drinks were good, it was overall a good time. We got 3 boils each in a different sauce, House sauce, lemon pepper and garlic butter. All were great. We'll be back again for sure. I wouldn't hesitate to try anything on the menu but I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking to the boils.
We had a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was the perfect time since it wasn’t too busy. Our waitress was awesome and very attentive to our party. We spend a lot of time along the coast in Florida eating our fresh catch, and our party thoroughly enjoyed our meal all the way in Idaho! The crawdad’s were huge! It’s definitely hands on, so prepare to get a little messy. There is a waste basket and napkins at every table. My only suggestion would be to offer a few options for non-seafood lovers. *The chicken strips and fries were ok, but still tasted like seafood. (Probably dipped in the same oil.)
I'll start by saying I really don't know where all the bad reviews are coming from. I've lived on both coasts and out of a full 10 stars this place easily hits an 8.5, and I only got to try a couple of things. For landlocked seafood, it's absolutely fantastic.
I read reviews about this place before coming, and was worried about it being terrible. I'm glad the bad reviews were wrong. I have to say, the people commenting negatively about the decor and atmosphere have obviously never been to many seafood places. The decor is on par with pretty much any seafood place I've been to (outside of red lobster) it's fun.
I also saw complaints about the seating being uncomfortable, but we found it pretty comfortable and accommodating.
Flavored lemonade was amazing, I highly recommend the passionfruit flavor.
We had hush puppies as an appetizer (any seafood lover would know that if the hush puppies suck, the seafood probably does too) they were delicious.
My husband got a shrimp po boy, it was huge! Comes with large juicy shrimp and the sandwich is bigger than my arm!
I got the flounder basket, equally delicious. The flounder was tender and juicy, while the breading was crispy and flavorful.
We both got the crab fries as sides and let me tell you, they put a PILE of crab meat on these fries. The fries themselves were cooked to perfection, a golden and crispy outside and a soft baked potato inside. They stayed crispy through our meal which surprised me because they had sauce on them.
We also tried a side of the sausage, which pairs perfectly with their house Cajun sauce. The sauce is good on everything we ordered, it's super flavorful with just the right amount of heat.
Our waitress was super sweet and helpful, she helped us pick drinks and food with suggestions. She was very attentive during our whole meal.
TLDR: we absolutely loved this place and will be coming back. The food was amazing, pricing was definitely decent, the atmosphere and decor were fun and comfortable, and the staff were super friendly, attentive and inviting, helpful and had suggestions when we were trying to pick food. I can't recommend this place highly enough, it's amazing seafood for being in a land locked state!
We met here for dinner on Friday night at 5 PM. It wasn’t busy which was great! The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean. The strawberry margarita was good, but you do want to make sure you asked for it blended because they do have options.
We had onion rings as an appetizer and they were really good so I got them with my shrimp basket. Everyone’s food was wonderful and the food was nice and hot. I am a former waitress and it’s definitely a pet peeve to have cold food. The food is reasonably priced in the atmosphere is fun and kitschy. This is not a fancy place so don’t expect that. I will definitely eat here again!
We enjoyed an Amazing dinner at the Nampa Idaho, "O Crab". The staff was great! Our server was fantastic! Nice, clean, family-friendly restaurant! The food was hot and fresh and so delicious! We had plenty to take home! If you're looking for great seafood, I highly recommend O Crab!
