Ok, so we have never been here because we're big Cabby Shack fans, so when we are in the area, we're usually there (travel for a living, so only here for 6 weeks per year). However, one day I wanted something different, so I tried this place. Went back right away with my BF. I really like this place.
Sat at the bar both times. The bartender is cool. Really like that guy.
We got the Crab Bisque. It has great flavor. Very lobster bisque, sub the shellfish. The BF doesn't like lobster (I know, what a freak), but he wanted to try the bisque since it was crab, not lobster. The taste was good, but I wish there was more crab. No crab flavor, no lump crab, but good bisque flavor.
We also ordered the Grilled Oyster special. Those things were AWESOME! Little lemon and their house made hot sauce (I like the tall skinny bottle best), and we're golden!
The banana wings were cooked well, but just something in the spicing I didn't like. I'm not a fan of Allspice, so it may have been that. Not bad, just not my jam.
We also got the crab cakes. These arrive and they look small, compared to other crab cakes around, but I have to say they are fat and FULL of crab. ZERO filler here. The crunch on the outside is perfect and their sauces are awesome! Again, homemade hot sauces on these!
Finally, we had the Mofongo. This. This is why we came, and we didn't even know it. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and huge and the sauce was great, but this dish is allll about the plantain hash! Holy hanna! That was EPIC! I would have eaten a whole other plate of just that. Get this dish. Period.
I've seen other reviews that they've had issues with the service and some with the food. I've been here twice and everyone has been friendly, and the food has been on point. Just my 2 cents!
