The Saucy Crab is a NEW FAVORITE!! The JUICY basket is filled with extremely fresh delicious perfectly seasoned shrimp and I ordered sweet potato fires. The sweet Chilli AND the Juicy sauce are INSANELY good!!! I ordered a frozen peach/strawberry margarita and it was perfection!!? Glad we finally have one in this side of town!! Will be back. Ps. Lisa was my waitress and she was everything you want your waitress to be when visiting a new spot... friendly, insightful, and accommodating!!! ASK FOR LISA she serves with a smile AND great suggestions!

So, my mother an I were dying to try out this fairly new restaurant and our experience was actually quite amazing. Our waiter Paul was so cool and very knowledgeable and helped us to order from the menu since it was our first time. Be mindful the prices are pretty expensive, between my mother and I the bill came out to 170. We didn’t mind the price because our food was amazing, hot and fresh, I even ended up taking leftovers! We told Paul we would definitely be back!!! Please don’t ever slack in future, I really enjoyed this place!
