If you like seafood . This is the place. Conveniently behind the convention centre and in a huge lake , you can eat inside of out and get cool breezes and great seafood . I'd say give it a try.

Rob Havasy

Perfect example of a Joe's. Decent beer menu and pretty good seafood for better prices than many other places. But nothing special. Seafood gumbo is good. Any of the buckets will be worth it.

Stephanie Ingram

Finally a seafood restaurant in San Diego that serves food with flavor. I have been disappointed until now. Try the fish and shrimp , it is delicious and they give you 2 pieces of fresh tilapia . Yum!

Roberto Coste

The lobster and the crab !!! Dont doubt even a bit and order any of the two, specially the lobster ????????

Josh Eden

Came here twice on my last vacation. Great service & a fun environment. I'll be coming back again!

Happy hour is 4pm-7pm and 9pm (maybe 10pm?) -close. Their hurricanes are great.

Jordan Pavlides

Try the "hurricane". There's a two drink maximum for a reason.

Ruth Bye

I usually don’t have to de-vein my u-peel shrimp , but for some reason my batch became necessary to do so.

Kelsey Heater

Try the Shark Bite! Wonderful drink, and you get to keep the shark !

Ephie

You should defenetly try the bucket!!

Lorgio Jimenez

Good steamed pots . Category 5 drink is pretty STRONG.

David Kujawa

Seriously! Get their The Orleans. I was afraid I would never find New Orleans style crawfish in San Diego, but I was proven wrong. So good!

Dan Taylor

The Old Bay steam pot is delicious! 2 bunches of snow crab legs , 10 clams , andouille sausage , corn on the cob, and potatoes . It's $20, but worth every penny.

Theresa Perry

Crab nachos are really good!

Carol Wilson

Who cares if its a seafood chain. It is a great one in a great location.

Brian K

Nice people. Slow service. Great TWOSDAY prices. 2 dollar hurricane wasn't bad. We'll be back.

Beran Young

Dungeness crab with garlic and herb seasoning!

Eli Hezi

Try the Beach Bum Tea and Mason Jar Margarita , great for opening your apatite ;o)

Mike Barker

Incredible amounts of food!

I Have Food Envy

Try the Strawberry Comfort

Nadia R.

Just had the steam pot ... it was disgusting! The crab and shrimp tasted like sea water even though it was supposed to be garlic & herb flavor. If you want great tasting crab look up THE CRAB HUT.

Rebecca Scheuerman

The food was horrible. Nothing at all had flavor. The only thing that was even semi-appetizing on my plate was the corn on the cob. My calamari , fish , and shrimp were inedible.
