| - I heard the all of the buzz and decided to check it out on my own. I've heard the wait was an hour, cash only, shady setup, etc. As I'm typing this even I wonder why I would subject myself to this place.
I trolled SC on Facebook for a week or so to try to see how the starts would align and allow me to subject myself to a train wreck of an experience. Apparently the seafood is extremely fresh and is brought in from coastal Georgia. They are only open when they have a shipment.
Sooooo, today was the day. They were open and welcoming all cash carrying seafood lovin' patrons and I was willing to oblige. I pull into the parking lot, walk into The King of Spicy, yes they are housed up in another restaurant, and follow the dry erase marker arrows to the bar to place my order. Man, I must be livin' life right because the wait was nothing! I waited in line about 3-4 minutes to place my order. The lady taking my order was extremely nice and helpful. She was quick but I didn't feel rushed. Once I handed over the cash I was given a number and told it would be ready shortly. Based on the number of people sitting around with that "I'm waiting for my food" look I didn't expect "shortly" to happen. I decided to walk around for a few, check emails, blah, blah, blah. About 20 minutes later, my number came up.
First, that's about the heaviest bag of food I've ever carried but once I opened it I knew why. This plate was packed with shrimp, lobster, sausage, corn and potatoes all smothered in a butter sauce. Put on a bib cause it's fittin' to get messy! This was a plate full of happiness! I would have been happy to wait that hour or whatever everyone else was saying. The shrimp and lobster were well cooked, not rubbery or over cooked at all. The sausage was a nice touch but almost a distraction of the main attraction - the seafood.
