A neighborhood seafood-boil spot built for hands-on, bag-to-table feasts with customizable sauces and shareable combos. The best experience comes from ordering one big boil for the table, then rounding it out with a carb side like garlic noodles so the meal feels complete without over-ordering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Oh My Family Pack, Lobster Tail, Garlic Noodles

What to order: Family Pack, lobster tail, garlic noodles.
Insider tip: Order one combo per 2–3 people, then add one side.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking on/near Devon Ave—usually manageable early, but can get tight after 6pm. Plan a short walk and give yourself a few extra minutes on weekend nights.
Dress code: Casual and practical—jeans and a tee are perfect. Wear something you won’t mind getting a little splashed (seafood boil is hands-on).
Noise level: Moderate-to-lively—fine for group conversation, but not a whisper-quiet dining room.
Weekend wait: 30–60 min during peak hours (especially 6:30–8:00pm) if you walk in.
Weekday lunch: Usually little to no wait, with quicker table turns.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—best options are sides like garlic noodles, corn, potatoes, and fries. Not a true vegetarian destination.
Vegan options: Very limited—mostly sides, and sauces may contain butter/seafood-based ingredients. Ask before ordering if you’re strict vegan.
Gluten-free options: Possible with smart ordering—plain steamed seafood and corn/potato-style sides can work, but sauces and fried items may contain gluten. Ask staff about sauce ingredients.
Best For
Better for: Big, shareable seafood boils with customizable sauce/heat levels and a full ‘bag-to-table’ experience—especially strong for groups celebrating and ordering combo packs.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet date-night spot, a refined seafood plate presentation, or strong vegetarian/vegan options—this is a “roll up your sleeves and feast” kind of place.
