Reviews
I wasn't able to try every single thing, but the things that I did eat were absolutely delicious! The $11.95 Lobster was great and it was a fairly good size for the price! I suggest walking around and looking at everything and then deciding what you want to eat. There was a pretty good variety of different things out there. Definitely going back!
Great lobsters, tasty, and what a deal!
We love it, the music, the food. We invite more and more people every year. What can I say except we ate lobster, crab legs, shrimp and more shrimp, scallops, corn on the cob and of course the lobster Mac & cheese. Everyone in our group left full and happy! Can’t wait until next year!
