A very popular place and usually packed. Unique place popular for boiled shrimp, crab, and other seafood. For the most part no waiters and you essentially serve yourself by picking up your order at the window. You would think this would drive business away but the opposite appears to be the case. Usually the place has more business than it can handle. Food has always been great.

This is a pretty good place if you’re into crab boils. A local favorite but know in advance it is not long on fancy setting.

A local favorite. We liked the crab boil a lot when we were there. A little bit of a trek from the Riverhouse but it gives you the opportunity to explore the area a bit.
