Seafoodie - Hamlet

The best $5 lunch in town! The food is delicious, and the service is quick. Thank you, Seafoodie!

The sauce was too sweet for my taste; I was hoping for something more like a Cajun flavor. Unfortunately, it felt like a waste of my time and money, especially since I had to wait 45 minutes for some overly sweet crab legs.

I called in an order for a crab cake basket with shrimp and a catfish basket with scallops just as I arrived in the parking lot. While waiting for my food, I watched three different groups order, wait, and leave during the time my two baskets were being prepared. After 30, 40, 50, and then 60 minutes, we inquired about our order and were consistently told it would be just a few more minutes. After waiting for an hour and 14 minutes, we decided to leave since lunch was over. I didn’t ask for a refund because I know the food would eventually be cooked, and I recognize it costs money. Having owned several restaurants myself, I'm really struggling to comprehend this timeline.

This little gem of a place, a mobile cart, offers a taste reminiscent of Michelin-star cuisine. If you're willing to bypass the formal decor and enjoy exquisite seafood at a fraction of the price, then this is the spot for you. Eating the fried food on-site while it's hot and crispy is essential for fully appreciating the flavors; otherwise, it can get soggy and lose its deliciousness. Unfortunately, they have limited operating hours, and I hope they consider extending them in the future.

This is undoubtedly the best seafood around, no question about it. The shrimp are fantastic and one of my personal favorites. If you love seafood, it's definitely worth the drive from nearby counties. The owners are really great people as well!
