Live Crawfish & Seafood NC

I just LOOVE visiting NC these days. It seems like I just can't get enough good food and awesome customer service. Our server was very friendly, fast and attentive, her name is Brittney and the next time I go back there I am asking for her personally. Now...I am still a little scared of eating inside so myself and 6 other family members has the pleasure of eating outside all by ourselves. The weather was good, and when a few drops of rain fell, we lifted the umbrellas and kept it moving. It didn't stop our seafood party.We got to meet the owner who was very friendly and funny. He talked with us as they prepared for the Saturday evening. Band. So yea. If you wanna get out and enjoy good food a band after 7. Check them out. I'll definitely be back.

Great service and the food was awesome! I don't eat fried food. Bad recon here look to be from the fried foods. We had steamed and it was close to perfection. Messy but taste amazing, and before you order ask the price. I saw one person complaining about cost and I asked and was told the price. The menu says to ask?Food was nicely seasoned and you decide your seasoning and you are going to get messy.Beer, crab, crawfish, mussels and shrimp were all terrific! We fed 4 people and we ate it all and enjoyed the experience.

Ehh! To be fair we were a party of 20 probably! We had 10 kids with us! We ordered mostly baskets from here and they were not good at all! The kids Mac n cheese was disgusting. It seemed as if it was prepackaged and they just heated it up and brought it out to us.The flounder and catfish was over cooked and all you could taste was the oil. The HUSHPuPPIES! The best thing on the menu!! The service was actually really great...didn't get her name but I could give her 5 stars alone. Just the food sucked.

Good seafood overall, I've had better but it was average. Good taste and nice staff. Small portions.

DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE! I decided to try this place while in the area running errands. The actual price is much higher than the online price but they don't tell you that when you make the order. When I got the price of the food, I thought my son might've ordered (something extra to be added to the plate. WRONG! I immediately went back in and asked for a refund. Nadine (manager) wouldn't accept the untouched food back said they don't do refunds once the food has been cooked. She also acknowledged knowing that the online price has been wrong for YEARS!sats! The low country boil wasn't hot or edible. I received a call from the owner, Rock/Rob (919) 414-4426, who also acknowledged knowing about the inaccurate pricing online. He was very unprofessional and condescending when speaking with me about my concerns. He would not provide me with the number for the corporate office and said they would be changing their name in the next few months. He then offered to refund me the money if I found a place with better pricing. I responded by telling him the Crab Seafood House in Clayton had lower pricing, larger quantities of food, and better customer service. He then began to repeat "it's your life" and say that he could not lose money by refunding the inedible, overly/inaccurately priced food. Well, Losing customers means losing money.I wish I could've given this less than 1 star. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISGUSTING FOOD!

2 of us went for dinner this evening. Walked in the door at 6. It wasn't crowded, but there were several tables with diners. Noticed right off that there was 1 woman who was waiting all the tables, fixing drinks at the bar, ringing people up, running food and answering the phone. She apparently had absolutely no help. Found out at nearly 7 that a) she was new and b) she had been due off at 4...and was still there with no help. Where's the manager? Where's the other wait staff? Who exactly is running the place?We ordered a shrimp scampi dinner, a seafood supreme (shrimp, fish and oyster) dinner and some bread with crab spinach dip for an appetizer...The seafood supreme arrived first with the appetizer.... I had the choice of either flounder or catfish and ordered the catfish. The shrimp were very good. The catfish for certain was not catfish. It has a very distinct flavor. I was served the flounder. I didn't complain, due to the waitress providing excellent service already and her lack of help. But she did check later and the cook insisted it was catfish. As I said (and anyone that has had catfish will know what I am talking about)...it was the color and flavor of flounder. I also ordered regular french fries and was given sweet potato fries. The spinach and crab dip with bread.......where to start... For the price, we expected at least warmed up bread of some sort. I mean many restaurants give you that for free as a starter. This was slices of room temperature (and it was obviously a piece of pita bread cut in walk straight out of a package). The spinach and crab dip obviously had real crab in it.....and I am not sure if it was on the verge of not being any good any longer or what, but it had a very, VERY strong fishy taste to it. It was to such a point, that each of us had 1 bite, tried to wash the taste out of our mouths and said no more. The shrimp scampi showed up on it's own 15 minutes after the other food and wasn't hot. It had a large portion, for sure enough for 1 and it tasted really good. Only complaint is that the tails were still on the shrimp.....in shrimp scampi. So the other person I was dining with had to dig through the noodles, dig out the shrimp covered in sauce and pull off the tails..... So I had the choice of eating in front of the person I came with, or waiting for this dish to arrive with mine being cold. After I had finished the seafood supreme, the waitress brought the man at the next table his seafood supreme. He ordered sweet potato fries...and got regular. So he got mine, I got his. The cook quite obviously was cooking 1 menu item at a time, instead of preparing a table at a time. Not sure if he or she simply can't multi task, but that's not the way to operate a restaurant. The waitress worked her butt off doing far to many things. She was excellent. The rest? What a mess. $64 for 2 people to eat, we got a horrible appetizer, luke warm scampi with the tails still on (I mean how lazy must a cook be for that to happen??) and the wrong meal. I don't expect this much mess from a McDonald's kitchen. Disappointed is an understatement. My advice? To possible customers, be prepared for good service from the wait staff and horrid work from the kitchen staff. To the restaurant? Hire a cook that knows how to do their jobs. My god.

This place was Great. Don't judge by the outside. BYW it Smithfield Seafood now The soft shell crab was the Best I ever had... even in Maryland. The Gumbo is a meal in itself. We stopped on the way to Richmond and stopped on the way back to Lumberton. It's that good

Went for late lunch with my dad and son. We were craving our favorite food, oysters. We went to live crawfish & seafood (since last time we went it was great service and great oysters)!! We ordered a dozen of the Rockefeller oysters. 1st it didn't have any spinach 2nd the server brought out no sauce no butter no garlic no hot sauce 3rd the bacon was disgusting and hard! We let the server know how we felt about the food and she suggested we talk to the owner since he was in today! The owner came over and was extremely rude and arrogant! Didn't offer a solution, apologize, or anything. To put icing on the cake I threw up 2 minutes after walking out of the building! Something wasn't right and my body let me know! Wont be coming back!

It's definitely a NO for me. As for someone who lived in Louisiana for years, it is disrespectful to call this anything similar to New Orleans or Louisiana style cuisine. I ordered the crawfish and shrimp boil and it came out swimming in water. It was supposed to be seasoned with Medium, Big Bang flavor and it was absolutely seasonLESS. I had to ask the waitress to bring out actual seasoning to add any flavor to it. The oysters Rockefeller was even worse. Unfortunately, as much as I love seafood, particularly Louisiana cuisine, this experience was a miss.

I have been here a few times, I have enjoyed the food as well as the over all surroundings. I called and placed an order to pick up at 7:49, and I arrived at 8:20. The doors were locked and phones were cut off and lady inside ignored my efforts to get her attention (which I don't blame her if they're closed). Sign on the door and online said they closed at nine. Just extremely frustrated.
