Reviews
Visited again with my wife and sister in law. My wife and I shared 3lbs of Snow Crab with Tasty Special Sauce at Medium spice level. I though it was perfect, but my wife found it too spicy. She also didn't care for the corn but I thought it was pretty good. I also liked the addition of sliced sausage to the crab. My sister in law got a pound and a half of Snow Crab with Tasty Special Sauce at Hot spice level. She thought that was perfect. We all started with some Hush Puppies but they were average. The ranch sauce was cheap and awful. We'll definitely come back for more crab though! I should try to bring my own gloves because the ones they supply are too small and tear open on my big hands. We liked it that they have a $5 corkage fee when we bring our own wine.
We'd been to their location in suburban Chicago, and loved it, but didn't realize the Bloomington location existed or was the original location. We literally stumbled across this one thanks to a combination of Yelp and my husband seeing the sign. We loved it just as much as the Chicago (Skokie) one. Both have excellent food, friendly and gracious staff, and spacious, comfortable dining areas. This time I tried the shrimp (no heads) in the mild butter and garlic sauce, and added sausage. I always hold the potatoes, and they give me extra corn to compensate. Everything was delicious, and I had plenty of leftovers (two containers full) for a later snack and meal. The cocktails are also very tasty. We tried several, and all were good. We've added this to our list of must-go places next time we make one of our semi-annual trips to Bloomington.
Super tasty! The best seafood spot around here. The food was tasty, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was clean. Will be coming back soon.
Good food and good service! Went for my husband birthday lunch! After the food, the server brought the cheesecake and sang happy birthday in Chinese and English! Brought joy to him!
Shrimp was cooked perfectly and corn and potatoes we're good as well. Good service they wrapped it up for you at the end. Would not recommend the blue crab too small.
