From Tonya: "It was good. I expected more flavor in the jerk shrimp boil which was NOT spicy at all to me. Ordering extra butter is a good suggestion."

From LaNina: "Food is good customer service is great. Just don't go an hour before closing because it can be very busy and food selection can be limited at that time."

From William: "The cajun seafood platter was amazing. Crab legs, lobster tail, shrimp, potatoes, broccoli and corn, everything was great!"

From Raheen: "Well I planned this day in advance because I've been wanting seafood junction for a couple weeks now and I'm no stranger nor newby to ths place I love their food. Everything is steamed nothing fried so it healthy. They even take EBT cards if you don't have cash but want a great cooked meal. They practice social distancing so 6 feet each person. Prices are inflated alil bite. Prices are fair. Its clean and they have great customer service. It's very hot in there though they need a ac or fan. Other than that i had a good time just talking to customers and being excited to just be getting this food. I recommend you come here and check it out yourself. You'll live it to!!!!!"

From Stackz The Goat: "Their food is good, although I believe they should cut their potatoes thinner because they be too thick to enjoy the flavor that’s on them."
