Pirates Kitchen. What can one expect when they come to this establishment? For starters, it doesn't hurt to be next to other popular restaurants. Now I'm not saying people only come here when they can't get into the restaurant they wanted to but my family definitely did. It worked out perfectly! The first time we came, we only ordered their tik tok special which is 2 lbs of shrimp for $20. Everything else costs extra like the corn, sausage and potatoes. They do add up after a while but with the special price it kind of evens out doesn't it? We ordered French fries and a couple bowls of rice. For the shrimp, we got 2 pounds of the head on shrimp with the Full House mild sauce, since my kids can't stand the heat. I did order 2 pounds of the full house medium spicy for myself. It's not that spicy and when eaten with rice, it takes away some of that heat. The kids enjoyed doing a time lapse video of themselves going to town on the delicious shrimps and building their little mountain of shells. I forgot to mention that you do get a bib as well as extra large plastic gloves to protect you from the splash. You also get lime and salt and pepper which you can use to make a dipping sauce for your shrimp. I combined mine with the full house sauce and it was great. Four pounds between 5 hungry hippos wasn't exactly enough to fill us up completely, but it was enjoyable and good enough to make us visit 3 more times since. It's not a huge restaurant, so make sure you make a reservation if you're coming with 5 or more people since they won't seat you at a 4 person table if you have 5. They have benches along the wall and a huge table in the center of the room. It's a very relaxed atmosphere. They have music playing in the background with a couple of TV's so you can watch the games. Service was great, food was delicious, we highly recommend that you try them out. Thanks Pirates, see you again real soon!

For the love of seafood, I brought my family here to celebrate my brothers birthday. We ordered two orders of tiktok shrimp (2lbs) with mild spicy, calamari, guac nachos, chx tenders, side of sweet potato fries, and of course, rice. I really enjoyed my experience here the first time I came and now my whole family also had a wonderful experience. Service was great. Servers check on us periodically. It gets really busy on weekends so expect long waiting period. Definitely recommending Pirates Kitchen. I will be back for more.

Pirates has truly captured my heart! This seafood boil restaurant is a gem, especially with their unbeatable deal of 2 lbs of shrimp for just $20. My friends and I frequent this spot, and we can't get enough of the amazing service. The staff is always friendly and ensures that we have everything we need quickly. The shrimp is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, soaking in their rich cajun sauce that strikes the perfect balance of spice and flavor. We love adding additional items like tender potatoes, sweet corn, and savory sausage to our boil, making every visit a delicious feast. For those in our group who aren't seafood lovers, Pirates has something for everyone! Their chicken tenders are crispy and flavorful, and the garlic noodles are a delightful side that complements any meal. Whether you're a seafood fanatic or just looking for a fun dining experience, Pirates is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Calling all Shrimp Lovers! Please check out Pirate's Kitchen for their special deal. Opted for the 2lbs of shrimp(head-on) for $20 is the special they have going on right now. It lasts from 11:30am to 3:00pm. Very affordable! I chose the Full House sauce, which is a mix of garlic butter, Cajun, & lemon pepper at a Level 2 Medium & added half a pound of sausage. The shrimps were fresh & cooked to perfection. Their thick sauce was impressive. It was so delicious eating the shrimp with a bowl of rice. Service was great. Seemed a little short staffed when I had walked in. The theme of his restaurant is a pirate theme. This place is located in a busy plaza. Parking can be a little hard during the weekdays & weekends. Definitely returning for their 2 lbs shrimp deal! I wish they could make the deal ALL DAY!

I was very impressed with this place. My girlfriends decided to meet here for a late lunch. There were three of us and they told us we can sit anywhere. We came in on a weekday and there wasn't a wait but it was pretty busy. Before 2pm they had a special for 2 pounds of shrimp (head-on) for only $20. I got that with their sauce that included everything. I also added in corn and a half pound of sausage. Their sauce was really really good. I like that it was super flavorful and wasn't as oily as other seafood boil places that are similar. And the food came out piping hot which I appreciated. The shrimps tasted fresh and were pretty large. Even the corn and sausage they had was tasty. My girlfriend ordered us some calamari fried hard that were also good. My other friend ordered some wings which she enjoyed. Pirates Kitchen is currently my favorite seafood boil at the moment. Just too bad its a little far from me. The service was also excellent. The girl working was really nice and everything came out quick. I asked for extra gloves and she was more than happy to bring me some. Overall, it was a great experience and I would come back.

Not bad of a spot at all! Parking - a bit tight since it's in a plaza with a lot of shops, salon services, and more restaurants, but you'll always find something. The spots are almost all compact spots too so taking a large car can be rough. Food - pretty good! We got 2x PK Platters with an order of snow crab legs. There were a few shrimps that were clearly older and less fresh, but overall, flavor and everything was good. Some clams also were empty so we had to fish out the meat from the bottom of the bag. Service - Very friendly waitress that was attentive and helpful when we had questions. No complaints! It took about 15 min to be seated on a Sunday night and waited about 15-20 min for our food after ordering. Seems normal since they're steaming our stuff by the order. Ambiance - The tables are smaller than ideal. Some parties share a table. Odd layout for a restaurant, but it was okay. They made due.
