    Low frills is an understatement. We were seated by a tv and the sound was on (I’ve seen sports events on tv at restaurants but not the news with the sound on). They rush you to take your order. Don’t expect much once you give them your order. You have to ask for plates, they are paper. You have to ask for forks. They don’t have lobster/crab picks. Don’t expect anyone to come back to your table to see of you need anything after they drop off your food.

    The server forgot to submit my husband’s dinner order, so he had to wait for his meal while the rest of us ate. However, she gave us a $10 gift card before we left.

    Not that impressed. They put paper over the table and grease soaked through the paper. I asked for it to be cleaned. They removed the soaked paper and put another paper on top. Never washed the table. Nothing that special about the food. Bathrooms were dirty. Made me wonder what the kitchen looks like.

    Really good food and service. Got seated right away. The dining experience is very messy but the food was good and seemed fresh. The food is pricey but it was nice as it was a different type of dining experience.

    Just average. Good food but way underseasoned. Service ok. This place could be great with a little work

    If you like crab legs, you have to come to King Crab - the snow crab boil at $32/pound (about 2 'hands') is just outstanding, comes to table boiling hot with new potatoes and corn. We started off with a 2 pound order for 2 of us, but It was so good we ordered another 2 pounds!! Very friendly staff, lots of parking, easy to find on Transit Road.

    This place is great and I dare say better than Red lobster. Seafood is so good and so fun to get messy and dig in. Be prepared to get messy. It is a great place to go. I highly recommend!

    I thought that the service was rushed. But other than that the food was good.
