The food was great, and the staff are really nice, the inside is very cozy but water drops from the ceiling where i was sitting.

For Utah a land locked state this was a pretty legit seafood spot. The menu is accessible through a QR code on your table. In addition to a variety of boiled seafood options they also had fried seafood, and poboy sandwiches. I wasn't expecting much but the portions were huge and prices reasonable. Although not as fresh as Louisiana it definitely satisfied that seafood craving. I ordered the spiciest level combo of snow crab and shrimp which came with potatoes, corn and sausage, however it wasn't that spicy at all. The spice also didn't go through into the seafood which is what usually happens when the sauce is just poured on top instead of boiling the seafood in the spices. The mix of all three flavors was a nice mix without being overly sweet like some places. I like that they offer you bibs and gloves to enjoy your meal without making a mess but you'll still smell like a boil when you leave. Does it compare to the South, unfortunately no, is it a good option in SLC, absolutely!

This place is always a go to for Cajun boil. We got there right when they opened so the staff seemed a little off put. I got the golden king crab which I have never had before much better price than the Alaskan king crab it was $25 as opposed to $68. I would stick to regular snow crab next time though although the pieces of meat were huge it was cold in the middle and the shells is rubbery and weirdly soft made it a little hard to get into and the spikes are not fun. Black mussels were solid as always. Overall very good though the sauce they use is so tasty! And the Calamari is the best in town!

As an avid seafood boil eater from California, I was not expecting this place to be this freaking good. I was skeptical at first because I did try other places here and wasn't impressed. But buck o crawfish I ordered the fresh crawfish (thank god it's in season right now) with the sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even have to use the sauce on the side! They cooked it damn near close to how Louisiana makes it. I've been to New Orleans a couple times and fell in love with the flavors. Bucket o crawfish is climbing the ladder of my favorite places to go. The flavor was soaked inside of the crawfish, and that's the best way to have it IMO. This was my second time ordering, and I've been absolutely happy each time. I'll come back for sure!!

Good food even if you aren't looking for strictly seafood. However you should definitely go here for the crawfish. I had a Shrimp Po and it was great! The service was 10/10 our waitress was good about making rounds and checking in on us. Also the spot is nice with lots of seating and spacing. I can imagine it would get full on weekends so be warned but great spot!

Was pleasantly surprised with this seafood boil! Definitely the best I've had compared to Utah County. The restaurant was clean and seemed to be well maintained. The restroom was a little dirty and rundown. The service was alright. Not the best. Our waiter took awhile to check on us after we got our food and only refilled my water once. It also took awhile to get our check. The calamari was really good and nice and crisp. I enjoyed the fried jalapeño with it as well and the sauce has a subtle heat that I enjoyed as well. The clams were really small and didn't have a lot of meat. About half of them were missing the clam meat as well. The shrimp was big and juicy though. The potatoes were a little mushy and the sausage was good but not for the price because they only gave me five small pieces. The crazy sauce with medium heat was super flavorful. I enjoyed it! Overall, decent experience but I wouldn't order the clams again. I would probably just stick to all shrimp. I would come back for sure!

Well hell, the Bucket O' Crawfish was a treat that cannot be beat. Get ready to get a little messy, because you can't stop shoveling the pile of food dumped in front of you into your face. This is really how seafood is meant to be eaten.

This place is a great little near-dive. The service was fantastic, out waitress was very knowledgeable and patient, especially with our infant daughter. The food was great, it's hard to find fried catfish, one of my favorites, and their was very good. The breading was light and crispy. The coconut shrimp were also phenomenal. The shrimp were not overcooked and the sauce it came with was really good too.

Found this place on Yelp and wanted to check it out. I like that you can build your own bag which was the draw versus just a preassembled choice. The menu also had baskets like fish and chips and such if you don't want to do the messy eating. We got there and were seated right away. Small parking lot for a few restaurants that are all next to each other. Our waitress was nice and checked on us a few times during our time there. I got a cluster of the snow crab and 1/2 lb clams. I did a mix of the garlic and Cajun flavoring. I also got some onion rings. We were given bibs when our food arrived but not offered gloves (I heard other tables get offered this). The napkin roll was on the table already. The flavoring was great. Lots of garlic so beware if you get that kind. You can get your spice level how you'd like too. I got mild. It came with a small corn cob and 2 big potato chunks. My friend and I were loving it! The onion rings were good too! We'll def be back to make a different mixture next time!
