worst seafood I've ever had
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

08/04/2007 Posted by hwt99999

I don't normally do these reviews, but in exceptional cases, I will. This place was exceptionally AWFUL. The worst seafood I have ever had. I have eaten much better (and for less) at Long John Silvers. I only gave it 1 star because I wasn't sure it would accept a ZERO STAR rating. For $15 i got.... a) 4 small fried shrimp.....overcooked to the point that they were actually chewy. b) 4 tiny fried scallops...not overcooked like the shrimp, but 1 was burned dark brown, the rest just overcooked c) 2 horrible crab cakes...mostly bread and filling. One of them actually had a rubber band inside. I've never had a chewy crab cake before. Of course, I've never had a rubber band-stuffed crab cake before either. All the breading was tasteless & underspiced. The half ear of corn boiled to the point of mushiness (I ordered corn bread...got corn). They serve margarine instead of butter...yech. At $3.50 or $4.00, the beer was overpriced. The house "merlot" for $4.00 was drinkable though. Best part of the meal was the salad. I should have stopped there. Anyhow, I'd avoid the place. Spend $6 and go to Long John Silvers. Or spend $40 and go to Trulucks. But I wouldn't go to this place.

Pros: house wine, the salad

Cons: the food
