In Short – Admittedly kitschy, unavoidably noisy, this Red Lobster for rug rats is like an oversized seaside shanty awash in oceanic memorabilia--fishing nets, souvenir trinkets, plastic flotsam and jetsam. Staffed with a lively crew of G-rated table-dancing servers, the family-friendly chain anchors its menu in all things crab: Crab balls, crab cakes, crab dip, crab gumbo. Finicky children opt for corndogs or hamburgers; shellfish-phobic adults dine on rib eye steak or mesquite-grilled chicken.

IF YOU CAN PARK FOR FREE, NOT A BAD DEAL

by ChristopherBoo at Citysearch

My friend dragged me in this place, it's your typical New Jersey "By the sea" type of place.. not like I was thinking it would be any different, but when we went in it was so loud.. I actually felt old.. We had the Sam Adams Steampot...and Sam Adams.. I had to admidt it was good!..we got ripped.. so maybe I was drunk and it was just ok.. either way.. we had a good time and since it didn't cost a ton of money, we have some left to shower, clean up and hit the Hyatt later on!

Pretty good deals on seafood

by MaryMilestone at Citysearch

I go here for larger group parties and get togethers. It's probably one of the better seafood spots in San Diego for groups.

If you have a big appetite, this place isn't right!

by rdfusn at Citysearch

The quality of the food is good, but it definitely lacks in quantity. My family an I went here with a big craving for crab! After a lot of crackin', pickin', pullin', and suckin' all we were left with was a big mess, empty stomachs, and a large bill. This place is only good for appetizers and drinks.
