Have been trying to get here for a while. Finally made it in on a Saturday night. Hostess greeted us right away. Place was pretty full but we were seated right away. The hostess came and took our order pretty quickly. She was also the bartender and she provided excellent service. The drinks were very good and they don't skimp on the alcohol. The food came out pretty quickly and was delicious. The noodles were garlicky and tasty. The chicken and shrimp were very well seasoned and delicious. The catfish could have used a little more salt for my liking but still was fried to perfection and very good. The hostess/bartender checked in with us quite a few times to make sure everything was good. Nice vibes there. We had a great time. We will definitely be back. Also they had the cutest Halloween decor, I couldn't resist taking a picture with it :)

Food is always so good! Servers are always pleasant whether you're eating in or picking up. Husband and I both got the players plate and the amount of food is enough for 2 days.

Their signature boil is definitely one of a kind, they have their own spin on it which i love!! The music they play is also really great. I love the fact they have a full bar too!! The waitress had a few shots with us which was really cool and we even got a couple on the house. I'd eat here once a week if I could!!

First time here, celebrating my sister's birthday and it was like we were kicking it at a friend's house! I was able to make a reservation one day in advance for 7 people during peak dinner hours, and even called the same day to change our time with no issues whatsoever. They accommodated us right away and sat us even without my whole party present. Someone had called out, but we never even felt like service was slow or anything. This is a family owned and operated business, and we really felt like we were a part of that. Granted, we had quite a few shots, so alcohol tends to loosen up people but even without that, the whole staff were cool as heck. The food was delicious. Calamari (forgot to take a pic) was light and crunchy, served with cocktail and tartar sauces. The garlic noodles were super flavorful and stayed buttery. Some places tend to dry out and clump up, but not these! The seafood boils also had tons of flavor and spice. Medium was about as much as I could handle. Lol I think my absolute favorite dish was the Player's Plate. It comes with garlic noodles, 5 Tony's wings, 5 prawns and a huge catfish filet. Best bang for your buck, in my opinion. I would get that next time we go. And a special surprise was Tony's Style (Berkeley) was in the building. They were temporarily operating out of the space, so we had to get the shrimp and crab baguette. All that cheesy seafood goodness went perfect with our shots. Lolol Needless to say, we took home lots of leftovers. We had a blast, and I hope yall have a great experience too.

Vivi was so awesome. To a novice server, our request for changing tables and sending back soft drinks might have put some people off. She was extremely professional and made sure that we were 100% satisfied and moved us to a table that we liked and took our soft drink beverages back. She maintained a smile and a personable attitude the entire time. We took her food suggestions and all of us had a perfect experience and left a very messy table which. Is a sign that you did your job and we did ours l o l. Thank you, Vivi and team Mudbug.
