If you're looking for an amazing seafood boil experience in Houston, this is the place to go! The seafood is incredibly fresh, and the flavors are bold and authentic. We ordered the snow crab legs and shrimp with their signature "Famous Sauce," and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice. The portions are generous, and the corn and potatoes inside the bag soaked up all the savory juices. My 10-year-old child really enjoyed the casual atmosphere and, of course, the fun of eating with our hands! The restaurant is clean, and the staff is very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Great vibe for a family dinner or a fun night out with friends. We will definitely be back for more! Local Guide Tip: Be sure to ask for extra gloves and bibs—it gets messy, but that's part of the fun! Also, try their fried appetizers; the calamari is surprisingly crispy and fresh.

Ordered the Cajun rice which I like a lot and why they didn’t get 1 star these wings are most definitely old, and I believe they refried them to make them seem new some of them are burnt they are all dry and have no flavor. From now on when businesses give me trash food you’re getting exposed look at this. Easily some of the worst wings I’ve ever had in my life Famous Crab you should take this off of your menu, respectfully.

You have to try this place! It was clean, delicious and the service my family got was top notch! Crabs were the best I have had in a while and the venue was very clean and cozy inside. Our server was very nice and helpful, world of a difference from the service the twin crab place nearby offers. Come to this place if you want to enjoy a great crab boil.

The "Deluxe" Gumbo that was supposed to be overflowing with shrimp and lump crab had 3 shrimp and one tiny leg of crab. That's it. The "beignet" was a deep fried canned biscuits. I won't be back. I picked more bay leaves out of my Gumbo than I had shrimp.

Great place to eat, we had a good time here after leaving the beach. Cold beer, fresh oysters! Good seafood boil! The waiter was very nice and friendly . If for some reason we’re back to Houston this is definitely a place to visit again. I wish I knew the waitress name to give her credit. We went on mon 22nd. She was good we had a fam of 5 with a baby. This is us maybe she will remember us she was great thank you! Sorry for the weird picture that’s all I had
