Review from Tony L.

Well, I've been here a couple of times it's something different than the normal sandwich/coffee shop. This time I went for lunch. I think we caught the lady working there off guard and she had to run back into the shop real fast to take our order. She was headed outside to clean the windows. The outside didn't look very appealing, but it was as clean as it could be. The inside wasn't any better. Very sparse and smelled like lysol/bleach. The specials are written on the mirrors that line either side of the walls. Kind of expensive but it's seafood and the portions are a pretty good size. The jumbo shrimp are actually jumbo size. Each special you order has fries and a drink. You can order per pound of clams, oysters, fish, catfish, shrimp, jumbo shrimp and frogs legs. So we ordered and it took the lady almost a half hour to make both of our lunches. The food was ok, I remember it being more flavorful last time I was there and this was just kinda bland and heavy.
I'll probably come back when the deep fried seafood craving hits, but that'll probably be a while. If you're going to this place please make sure you have enough time or better yet call your order in ahead of time. -

This place is pretty sketchy, and the food is really lousy.
I came here one night just to be adventurous, and was disappointed. I entered and was was greeted by a grim interior. A dour looking man in a sweaty wife-beater took my order for fried scallops. He grudgingly produced a tupperware of old-looking, stinky scallops and threw them in the fryer. Once prepared, the scallops tasted lousy.
I advise you to give this place a pass.
