$2 Tuesdays are the best days to dine there. The $2 Hurricanes are so delicious and have a little kick to them ???? They have other items for $2 as well

First time here, had a great meal, and our server, Rachel, was great. Look forward to going back.

Had the most incredible balloon artist I have ever seen. Just amazing. Food was good, but hush puppies burnt and too much butter on crab-stuffed shrimp .

I Love the Steam Pots

Jonathan Smith

Great seafood on the river where thankfully the seafood is not from.

Chad Hembree

Came for a Steampot & the Great Balls of Fire ... but you GOTTA try the fried crawfish !!

Heather Hatton Perry

Watch the sun set on the patio and get the Malibu shrimp . Selfish!

Collin Ferry

Prices for drinks aren't listed anywhere. As of 6/14/2012 a bucket of 5 PBR 's is $13. Each can is 16oz (not 12oz). That is $1.95 per "drink." That's riverside budgeting for you.

Donnie Deener

The crab buckets are what I usually get.

Lee Farrell

Salmon and rice are ridiculously good! However not big enough portions.

Joyce Patterson

Snow crab is great

Ask to sit outside and order a steam pot and a Modelo.
