Description

A Flint favorite for seafood, this spot earns praise for exceptional crab legs, juicy ribs, value-packed Super Plates, homemade sides and memorable Kool-Aid. Many patrons say long waits are worth it, but experiences vary: order accuracy and food consistency can be hit-or-miss, with occasional tough rib tips, lukewarm sides and wrong items. Drive-thru and takeout service is uneven—some staff are friendly, others inattentive. Strong for seafood lovers seeking good value, but expect variable service and occasional mistakes.

The food here is consistently excellent. However, one area that could use improvement is the customer service at the drive-thru. I believe that when dealing with customers, it's important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the role. If that’s not the case, it might be worth considering a different job.

Food was decent.Asked for barbecue sauce and they gave me a pack of sweet baby rays.What kind of barbecue joint doesn't have their own sauce?

The food is awesome, when its done right.They need to add lighting to the outside so it dosent look abandoned. Service is fast but lacks enthusiasm. If you want great barbeque this is the place. Or it will be the worst you ever had. Its a coin toss. Eather dry leather thats been in the freezer for a week. Or the most juicy succulent in town. Do you gamble?

Great restaurant, but it's odd that the picnic tables we used to enjoy are no longer there.

This is the third time I've waited at this restaurant to place my order, and once again, I was completely ignored. Meanwhile, the two cars ahead of me were served. I don't think I'll be returning, as the staff here lack professionalism.
