Get something with the whole shebang if you can deal with the spice. Garlic butter is amazing too. I love both shrimp and crawfish here, but you really can't go wrong with anything.
I've been to all of them by now, boiling crab , kicking crab and craw daddy. I think kicking crab is a clear winner. Variety, taste and seating
This is the best place if you're in the mood to get down and dirty in seafood with just a bib and your hands. Wait may be long, but it is well worth it. Deck your choice in the Whole Sha-Bang sauce.
We love to have the Whole Sha-bang (all sauces mixed together) for a dip for crawfish ! A wonderful place for when you are looking for a seafood dinner ! -The Farmers Union
The Whole Sha-Bang!Don't forget to get your triple by-pass from enjoying this place so much ;)And, it's more economical to go with beers vs soda (21+)
I really enjoyed the shrimp and lobster ???????????? the prices are also considerably low
While eating in the restaurant makes for a unique experience, the best way to get your boiling crab is to call in your order and get it to go (so you don't have to wait 3 hours).
Their snow crab legs are amazing, definitely worth the price. It's great with some corn and calamari on the side.
Shrimp and fresh crawfish are a must. Mussels and Wings are good. Margaritas are great.
Get the snow crab , shrimp or sausage in the whole sha-bang seasonings in medium! It is sooo good!!!!!!
Get here early, put your name down and if the wait is more than 2 hours, go kill some time @ target! Make sure you try all the fried baskets! Order your food of choice with the whole sha-bang!
If you're worried about rising a spice level when deciding your order, just get some cajun fries at the next level up. That way you'll know if you can handle it on your seafood for next time!
Don't be afraid to eat with or hands it's fun! Great place to get good and affordable sea food . I liv the Cajun fries :$
Put your name down -> go shop at Target for 1 hr (ok, may 1.5 hr) -> get 1 lb of shrimps + 2 lbs of clams (the whole Sha-bang and XXX!) + Bud Light Lime (or Coke and squeeze in your own lime ) = Yummo.
Anytime of day, even when packed, call in an order to go. I ordered 5 pounds of Alaskan King and it was ready in 10 minutes! Life's too precious to be adhered to a restaurant for half a day.
Order the shrimp and"the whole shebang “ sauce. Its a combination of all the sauces. With corn and rice .
Guess the planets were in line or something...only waited 10min for a seat!! First time here, Siri gave the recommendation haha...great food and awesome GUMBO
Calamari is amazing! :) Always try to get there before 5 or else it is a pretty long wait . But so worth it!
I can't wait to go back again! Love the pound shrimp with the whole she-bang! LOVED every bite!!!
Good place for fried oysters and crabs . Shrimp , mussels are better in The Kickin' Crab ; their sauce is better.
It's worth the wait. Try the whole sha-bang sauce - not too spicy so it doesn't overpower the flavour.
Their raw oysters are really good and fresh ????????
What ever time u're planning to eat, make sure u arrive AT LEAST 1hr before to sign in on the waiting list. Kill some time at "TarJay" for a bit, then head back & order the "Sha-Bang" medium. Trust.
Usually a long wait . Would recommend going during off-peak hours.
Pound of shrimp whole shabang with corn and Cajun fries !
Try the Triple X Sha-bang Flavor on the shrimp ..
Long waits , but worth it!
Don't be late! Wait times can be upwards of three hours on any given day of the week! But it's worth it, especially if you get The Whole She-Bang!
Definitely, will come back again! Order take out to avoid the long wait .
Try the fried oysters , they are perfectly seasoned and great with the dipping sauce .
Don't forget to barrow a marker so u can print down ur name all over da wall (inside the restaurant ). Or juz bring a sharpie juz incase
The wait here is ALWAYS 1.5 hours and they don't take reservations so come early!
Just get anything from the menu (my favorite is the super juicy and meaty shrimp ). EVERYTHING is good
get the whole sha-bang, medium spicy ! dungeness crab when in season is the best. get potatoes and a bud light lime to round off your feast!
They don't even tell you that they do take out . You could just skip the mad line and take it home.
Try the Boiled crawfish - #buttery, #garlic butter , #shrimps , #hella good
Try the LP Hot Wings - #hot wings #chicken #lemon pepper
A fave. Call in your oder. LIne is long. I always get the whole she-bang!
The wait is definitely worth it!! Go all out and get the whole sha-bang!!
I prefer Crawdaddy to this place. I had the shrimp with all the sauces and it was way too oily.
Sacrifice a friend to come 1 hour before you plan to eat and put your party's name on the waiting list.
Order a min of 2lbs food per person
Always get here before 6PM. If not, you will be waiting 1-3 hours. Worth the wait, but you're always waiting. Read more
Take an order to go but don't it until the next day. The meat absorbs the sauce overnight and it taste better!
Best crab and shrimp in the states
this is NOT like Joe's Crab Shack, this place is crapped and kinda cafeteria style . a foodie like myself wouldn't eat in this 2-star seafood establishment for free. walked in, walked out.
This location is smaller than the Curtner one, but wait times are usually about the same.
The Whole Sha Bang sauce only!!!
Be prepared for waiting.. But the wait is paid off.. Really delish.. The best in town ..
It's worth the wait.
This place is Soo good! Highly recommend the dungeness crab. - Huong Le
Mom had oysters, she loved it! Super busy and great fun atmosphere; king crab was delicious! - Maggie Kealy
Really good food you can taste the freshness and Loretta is so sweet and hospitable. - Jessica Resendez
I always go here just to walk around, but I always end up leaving with something - Seb Ong-Osmond
Love it here. It's big and great place to hang out at. It's get super crowded on 3 days holiday. - Michael
