Wow!! Was heading to the gnat house for some seafood and saw this place. Thought it was a sit down place and was about to walk out. The owner I assume or the main person there was so helpful and explained the entire menu. I was uncertain the single portion of the seafood boil would be enough so I ordered some peeled jumbo shrimp. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and the seafood boil was outstanding. The sausage may have been better than the shrimp. This is a must stop if you're fine with amazing take out. I took the food back to my hotel and ate outside. Several of the guests were gawking at the food. Needless to say I couldn't finish both plates. The entire meal was just under $30 with a tip. You cannot eat anywhere these days for less than $30 and have this quality of a meal.

Amazing selection of seafood! Lobster, scallops, alligator, so many options. And, you get a half pound of fried shrimp with every entree, and everything we ordered was super fresh and delicious! I don't know how they do it, but this is the cleanest, non-greasy fried food I've ever eaten. Don't let the exterior of the building fool you, this is some of the best seafood in town!

Great food at an amazing price! They never disappoint! Low country boils or the fish and shrimp combos are my go-to!

Great seafood store / take out in Statesboro. We found it on Yelp looking for a restaurant that wasn't part of some chain. Parking was easy once you figured out most of the cars were for the restaurant next door. Menu is confusing since basically, you pick out what you want to eat, they cook it for you for another buck or two and then you go somewhere to eat it. There were only chairs in the store, no tables -- not even a picnic table outside! But, who cares at a take-out place. We got a couple of different combos and the fish, shrimp and scallops were very good -- especially for the price. If we are back in Statesboro, we'll definitely stop in. The low country boil looked really good.

A little run down crab house but WORTH IT. Food was worth the price and came with a full to go box I could barely close. They sell seafood raw so when they make your food they make it from the fresh stuff they sell.

The Food is delicious! I have tried several menu items and all are perfectly seasoned and delicious. It is clean inside but they do sell fresh uncooked seafood and cooked-to-order seafood. So sometimes you may get a fresh seafood smell but not all the time. They do enforce all COVID-19 policies for mask wearing and social distancing.

The prices here are ridiculously cheap. I'm not sure how they do it but there is no better deal in statesboro for seafood. And good seafood at that. You're making a mistake if you aren't getting your seafood from here

What an amazing find in Statesboro. A fish market that sells fresh seafood and will cook your purchase for a few dollars more. We had the tilapia and shrimp combo with fries. Yes, it was fried, but not greasy. What a shame to find this hidden gem the night before my daughter is moving back home. If you are reading this, and in the Statesboro area, look no further for a place to eat.

This was not what I was expecting. Being from Nebraska here on business. I stoped thinking it was a restaurant. Not really, it is more like a seafood market. You order to go. Raw or cooked for a bit more. I ordered the Low Country Boil. I think it came to $11 cooked. I could not eat it all. So much food for little money. If you have not been there you need to go. I will go back and next time I will take a picture. Highly recommend. Food was excellent.

This is the best place to get Low Country Boil in Statesboro. For less than $10 you'll get way more here than you'll get at any other restaurant that you'll be paying way more for. Also, Friendly staff!
