I have a shellfish allergy and asked what I could eat from their appetizers menu, all foods fried with shellfish so I was unable to eat their chips and salsa or any appetizers from their menu. Order three tacos, two pork and one chicken. When the food delivered I received two steak and one chicken, we had to ask for silverware, and our drinks more than once. I’ve eaten multiple times at their other two locations and have never experienced such bad service or lack thereof. I had hoped their location closest to my house would allow for me to visit their establishment more often, however not being able to enjoy half their menu due to only having one deep fryer and terrible service I will spend my money elsewhere.

We normally go to the one by Sapphire, but had family in town so decided to try this location… It was a bit loud and very few people inside so the service was a little slow, but understandable food was still excellent. It was really dark inside and really bright outside so that didn’t make it a little difficult to see otherwise everything was great.

We sat in the bar area and there was a jukebox that you can control with your phone. Totally fun! The food was delicious. Lobster tacos were the most delicious I’ve ever had and drinks were pretty amazing too. Will definitely return.
