    Server was Daisy she was great! Hushpuppies were tasty. I got the catfish and shrimp plate and unfortunately the catfish had that grey fatty layer on it that makes it taste like the water. Portions were good tho shrimp breading was falling off a bit but flavor and size was good. Cocktail and tartar sauces were good too

    Had a wonderful experience when me and my parents came down from Arkansas! In the past we had just dropped in to get shirts but this time we decided to actually eat here! Let me say…. Im soooo glad we did! Everything we got tasted AMAZING! Especially the HUSHPUPPIES AND THE HONEY BUTTER!!!! 😍😍😍 soooooo good the BEST hushpuppies I’ve EVER had!!!! I got the “Dirty Banana” in the souvenir tumbler and it was a 10/10 just like the hushpuppies!!!! My parents got catfish and shrimp i believe and they enjoyed it! I had got the flounder with the shrimp and crab cake and some kinda good “stir fry” and jumbalaya i believe and it was good! Needless to say when we come back whether it’s with my parents or with my little family we will deff come back to induldge in the greatness even if its not of Dirty Dicks Crabs🤪

    We were a little nervous because they weren't busy at dinner time but we were so wrong. This place is a 5 star easy. The calamari appetizer is amazing. Great portion size. We got fried shrimp and catfish. Both were huge portions tons of flavor. They give complimentary sweet hush puppies too. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. DO NOT PASS UP CHANCE TO EAT HERE!

    Unfortunately not a good experience...appetizer came out the same time as the rest of the food and it was COLD, the entrees for 3 of the 4 of us came COLD! The potatoes, corn and egg we received was the best part of our meal, our server was not good about drink refills either...we were excited to eat here sad to have such a bad experience. Crazy how you come to the beach and get bad crablegs... Disappointed at Dirty Dicks

    2nd time coming here but won't be back a 3rd time. Husband was looking forward to a great seafood meal with all you can eat. The waitress said that ended at 3pm. Should have just left then, but we got a platter for 2. Everything was bland and cold, it had crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, muscles and hush puppies. We also got the crab lasagna. I was very sorry for ordering that also. It was over cooked. We drove 2 hours and spent $139.00, not counting the tip. As it was not the waitress fault. And we didnt complain for the fact she couldn't fix the issue. It was just terrible. Can't get seafood from the waffle house but I will go there before I ever come back here. The hush puppies was the only thing that was good. Even the drinks had a stranger cleaner taste. Maybe cups didn't rinse clean all the way, but definitely not coming back.
