Ok, so let me just say that this is hands down our favorite seafood place at the moment. We've tried a few others around Orlando that were also pretty good but this one, I think, beats them for various reasons. I had purchased a groupon initially for a reasonable deal on a new seafood place. It was $20 toward food and drinks. My husband and his brother had went on their guys day out. His brother was on vacation and recorded himself eating his entire meal just to send to his wife (who is still not happy about that since she hasn't tried it yet)! We've all had our fair share of seafood boils, whether back home in the caribbean, or here. He told his wife that it was the best seafood boil he has ever had as well. My husband and his brother had the king crab and the snow crab boil with drinks. My husband said he wouldve preferred the king crab boil after seeing his brother's own but his own was also delicious. He had paid and additional $60 something after the voucher, which was still pretty good.
I took my girls and neice out for us to try it together, after my husband came home bragging about it and showing us his pictures and his brother's video. Everything looked very tantalizing. And after he mentioned that he would recommend trying it because he felt like it was better than our other favorite spot, we had to try it.
We went to the John Young Parkway location on a Saturday night following a late appointment. We were famished and was hoping that the food would match all the hype. The restaurant was packed but the wait time was less than 20 mins. It was clean and the workers were polite. The waitress, my namesake, Kristin, was very attentive and helpful. We were going to order separate seafood boils and she suggested trying the family bundle instead and adding anything extra that we wanted. We got the bundle with snow crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, with sausages, potatoes and corn. We added a half pound of extra snow crab legs and a pound of lobster. Also got rice just in case (which we didnt need but saved for another day), chicken tenders with fries (my youngest loves fries) as an alternative for my youngest just in case, and for appetizers we got hush puppies and chicken wings. The seafood boil was finger-licking good. We had the juicy seasoning, initially the seasoning was a tad bit too high seasoned but I squeezed some lemons over it and it was perfect. The crabs and lobster were meaty and sweet, and everything else in the boil was also perfect.
Chicken tenders were seasoned perfectly with right amount of crisp to it. The fries were even pretty good. Hush puppies and chicken wimgs were delicious. We tried a sweet and spicy flavor which was perfect. For drinks we got strawberry lemonade and strwaberry/mango lemonade. They were all very refreshing and perfectly flavored. We had so much food that we had another whole meal for the next day. That was a plus for me because that saved me or my husband having to cook the next day. The total we spent for all that food was about $158 with taxes. So, I think everything was excellent; the food, cleanliness of restaurant, customer service and price. It's definitely worth the trip and I would highly recommend.
