Very nice waitstaff. But the food, just no. We had oyster baskets with onion rings. Both are breaded and fried, but the oysters themselves were tiny compared to the breading covering them. And they tasted fishy, as in like stinky fish. Sorry, won't be back and we paid a $41 tab plus 20% tip.

Slightly pricey, but that's to be expected for the type of restaurant. My boys and I love seafood and this place has a great atmosphere and it's a food time for my family.

Overpriced.menu and board are different
Crab was good. 20.00 pound but they charged 15 dollars for steamed veggies.menu states 5.doesnt say per pound.wait is long.would not fix the ticket.
Be careful to check board prices over menu as they are NOT the same. And dont expect amazing service.too crowded and to few servers. Also very noisy for conversation.

The sauces are great. The only issue is cook time. The crab is either cooked took long or dead too long before they are boiled. The meat is not solid but mushy.

Really laid back, casual atmosphere. We were greeted at the door and seated right away. Our waiter was super nice and quite attentive. He explained the menu thoroughly and gave recommendations. We had the fried pickles, crab with trinity seasoning (heat level 3) and the char grilled oysters. We have had a LOT of fried pickles but these were SO good. I HIGHLY recommend them! Crispy, the batter actually stayed on, and they were seasoned to perfection. The oysters were out of this world as well. If you eat nothing else here, get the oysters! Now, the crab was really fresh and tender. Our waiter recommended the trinity so that's what we went with. If I had to choose again I wouldn't get it; something about the flavor that just didn't do it for me. I needed more citrus and Cajun flavor. It was good, just not personally what I would order next time. Overall a great experience, worth every penny! Also, we grabbed a few Texas beers to wash it all down. We will be returning for sure!

We will definitely be back the staff was courteous friendly and inviting! We never had to ask for anything, everything simply appeared after we ordered. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious! The kids had a great time here because you're allowed to write on the walls with sharpies. The place is well lit the bathrooms are cleanthey have outdoor seating good music. Let's not forget a lot of beers on tap and bottles, well as mixed drinks. Just be careful with the spice I like things very spicyand I would say three or four would have been plenty for me. We actually did our food in the twoand my tastebuds certainly were not bored. I say this place should be nominated for San Antonio's best new restaurantof 2018.

This artwork was beautiful. I'd love to have it. I'm glad the staff was so helpful and nice. We had to put my dog down last night so this was supposed to be a pick me up and it definitely was. All the artwork around makes it so interesting and just made me so happy. Our server Massi was very nice and informative! He answered every question with ease and confidence. This was my first time here and it was a great time. I'm kinda sad I left without trying the pudding tho. I just forgot to ask cuz I'm not used to seafood places having dessert. Hopefully I'll remember next time.

We ordered the King Crab, shrimp and added potatoes, sausage and corn (these are sold separately by the piece). The shrimp was over cooked so it didn’t peel well and was rubbery, the potatoes were bland and had zero flavor, the sausage was okay, but the corn was very good and flavorful. If you are having to pay extra for these I would expect them to be worth paying for. Now.the King Crab was incredible. We ordered with the Trinity and then ordered the Snow Crab with the Cajun - both were as delicious as they were messy and that’s what you want! Bathrooms were clean to wash up and then we tried dessert. Wow! The banana pudding and butter bar cake were simply amazing! So pass on the veggies, you got a 50/50 shot with the shrimp.go for the crab and dessert!

Went here on a lunch. Very helpful staff and the food was delicious. Be warned the prices are market price but here you definitely get what you pay for. Best boil I've had in a long time!

Great place to go for crab and seafood. The crab cakes are great! The boil options are good too. Appetizers and side items are a good pairing to complete your meal. The King crab is a favorite but so is the snow. Both locations have great service. Would be nice of rhey had more than 1 ply napkins on the table but at least the dispensers are fully stocked.

It was a fun experience, but far too pricey for what I recieved. They said it was by the pound but never explained that you get more than one pound as well. Charging for the weight of a whole crab while you only get a few parts that are edible seems deceitful to me. The flavors were great though!

You can buy a shrimp or crab boil a la carte. That means it might be more expensive, but it's fresh and you only get what you want.

SEAFOOD WAS AWESOME! Great flavor and spicy. Even the #1 was just enough heat. And there's 6 levels!

The service is excellent - you can see them working as a team together which is great. The food is also excellent. Nice dungeness and the clam chowder was off the hook!
