What a great way to spend a Friday night. The seafood is fresh, the flavored sauce was tasty but not overpowering, and the dining room was clean and fun with karaoke style videos playing. We had the #4 and a 1 lb of dungeoness crab for 3 people and it was more than enough. There is a liquor store in the same plaza so the adults had a crisp beer while the newly minted 18yr old had soda. This was all of our first times to a "boil" place and we really had a blast. If you're curious it's a great place to give it a try!

Seafood boil is always a vibe. First and foremost: it's is BYOB (but there's a liquor store next door!) so make sure you have your drinks before you order. They do have soft drinks if that's more up your alley. The food is always good. I usually get snow crab and add garlic sauce. It is really great! They also have a good playlists playing. They have areas for larger parties. Everything is clean when I've been. I would definitely recommend this Seafood Boil!

Pros: Staff (Mikki) was very welcome Shrimp and crab were fresh Establish was very clean Decent pricing Cons: No rolls of paper towel like most seafood places No lemon wipes These boom mix sauce is pretty good but could be better (prefer hook & reels special blend) Overall it was good and won't mind revisiting again sometime. I may try their location in Carteret or North Brunswick however this location had the most reviews so decided to give it a shot.

You'll have to run yourself through a water cannon to clean up afterwards but, much like fondue back in the day, a seafood boil is a nice change of pace. Oysters, crabs, clams in a tasty lemon pepper, garlic sauce. I can't say that I'll be returning anytime soon because eating a bag of seafood is really like oinking it at the trough but it's definitely an experience that I can now say that I've had. Four Tide Pods for the adventure.
