Spondivits

This is a pretty amazing seafood place that I say specializes in crab legs... they do more than this but the buckets full of crab is gosh darn amazing!The place its self is a bit hole in the wall... dark, tight, big bar and certainly not a place you would expect to get seafood like this in! When you get here the parking is almost non existent. Drive around to the back of the McDs next door and you'll see a sign for parking for Spondivits. You go down a little alley and voila parking. It might seem a bit sketchy, but pay the man to park your car and everything will be good!Like I said the outside and inside has a hole in the wall vibe 100%. The staff are bar type strong and full of personality. (This is not a bad thing at all) however the seafood is outstanding.They do have a strange policy of any meal over $50 gets an added fee. This to me was ridiculous... I mean there is barely any one meal under $50 and then at the end they still expect a tip! Be careful when you get your bill... the "service fee" will already be added.When I got my bucket of snow crab I got 6 bunches of legs. You might see the prices and be like wow that is expensive but honestly it was cheap for what I got! There was way more than I could eat. I could have fed two or three people with this one order.The snow crab was ooooohhhh my Goddie way too hottie!! basically it was to die for! Sooooo freaking good! You have to come here for the crab.. great seasoning, melted butter, and more than I could eat!All in all I would come again. Even with the goofy service fee... it was that good... it is loud in here so conversation is not easy without yelling. Try it... it is well worth it!

We made a stop at Spondivits last night after the Raheem DeVaughn and Music Soulchild concert. We were seated immediately upon walking in with no wait! It was late, like after 11:00 pm when we arrived so this was great because I was famished. Our waiter, George was super pleasant and attentive. The food was fresh and yummy. We both got hot wings and fries. We also took food to go for the next day. Might as well make the most of the visit while we're here. Beware of the 4% surcharge on orders paid with credit or debit cards, yikes! Shout out to George for his phenomenal service!

Fun place to get some inland seafood. Spondivits wasn't far from the ATL airport, and so my cousin and I tried this place out during my layover.Vanessa was a capable server. She made sure to give us enough time to lollygag and gave us some advice on what we really wanted. I tried the grilled fish sandwich, and it was cooked fresh. It did not taste dry or overcooked. Plenty of fries on the side. My cousin enjoyed the same sandwich, but ordered the fish blackened. It also look good.We ordered a Cajun Shrimp appetizer. It came with six shrimp and we hot and flavorful. We also enjoyed some clam chowder - which Vanessa subliminally offered before and then we tried them.The restaurant is fairly tight. It seems like it's a shotgun style design. There are booths on the left side, and tables and the bar on the right side. The booth side looks tight, but had plenty of room. The place looks old like the inside of a ship, but the tables were clean, and the service was attendant.Overall the trip to Spondivits was fine. It seems a bit pricey, but If you have nowhere else to go and are in the seafood mood drop by.

What time is it? I am getting this food after a long day of travel after everything around is closed. Bartenders on point. Bar is bold enough to be low key fun.

Spondivits has some pretty good fried seafood options, burgers and sandwiches, and appetizers. I think they are known for their seafood buckets! I came here on a recommendation for food around the ATL airport and for my first time in Georgia! I had the fried lobster tails and it was good. FoodI came here and was recommended the fried seafood. I had never had fried lobster tail and so that's what I went with! Overall the lobster tail was good but it could have been more juicy and plump. The batter wasn't too thick so that was good. The portion size was good. Fries were okay. I had a chance to take a bite of the crab cake and it was pretty good. Lots of crab without much other filler in it. Definitely have it with the sauces since it's a little dry otherwise. AtmosphereThe interior was all wooden and it looked like you were inside of a boat so that was cool. Casual atmosphere and lighting was a little dark. There are 2 different seating areas. PricingThe food prices here are pretty high for what I was expecting from a casual restaurant and quality of the food. The drinks here are ridiculously expensive in my opinion for a restaurant. I'm from the Seattle area and I wouldn't have expected the food here to be this expensive. ServiceService was excellent and my server was very friendly! Came to check on my table lots of time and make sure things were going well. Wasn't too busy for a Thursday night. OtherParking lot is in the back and so it can be a little confusing.

I got the crab legs! They were very tasty and it was way more than I can eat! The service was ok... waitress didn't come back until I was ready to leave but overall, it was good.

We went here at 8 pm on a Monday. The entrance was a little weird and I can see it being hectic on the weekends so I'd recommend going on the weekdays.I wasn't that hungry so I only ordered a salad which was good. My cousins ordered the Texas cheese bread and crab buckets. They really liked it. The only down side is that they don't give you something to crack it with. The ladies next to us used a hot sauce bottle . However, my cousins were cracking them open easily without anything.My other cousin order fried lobster and didn't like it. However her chicken salad was good . The service was really great!Overall, I wouldn't return because it was way over priced.

I've been to this establishment a few times ans have always had a great experience. The drinks are good and the food is gooder. lol. I prefer sitting at the bar for better and faster service. Not sure if you all are aware but Spondivits has GREAT burgers. I ordered the "Spondivits Custom Blackened Burger" cooked medium well and it was sooooo good!!!
