Amazing Cajun shrimp boil with bold flavor and super fresh seafood! The shrimp, corn, and potatoes were all perfectly seasoned and delicious.

Wanted to try out a new seafood boil spot and came across this place. Affordable options to split between friends, we got the All Seafood Feast combo with the 50/50 mild cajun sauce and it was perfect to share with 4. We also got a side of Devil's dock sauce for extra spice and it was so delicious.
