Paulie B's - Jefferson City

I placed a large takeout order, and everything was prepared just the way we asked. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful. We tried the taco sampler, which included fish, chicken, steak, and spicy shrimp tacos, and everything was delicious. The spicy shrimp taco was particularly delightful and one of my favorites. My wife especially enjoyed the shrimp from the peel-and-eat starter as well as the shrimp from the shrimp boil main dish. The sweet potato waffle fries and fried okra were also very tasty. To top it off, the chocolate peanut butter tower dessert was among the best restaurant desserts I've had in a long time. My only criticism is that, since this is a relatively new restaurant (as of this writing), it appears they are still working to find their footing. There seems to be a need for better communication among the staff, and they may still be in the process of training new employees. With a bit more time to refine their operations and fully train their team, this restaurant has the potential to become one of the best seafood spots in the Midwest—and perhaps even in the entire U.S.

This restaurant offers the freshest seafood around. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I ordered the land and sea dish, which included steak prepared using a special technique, shrimp, and I opted to add crab legs for an extra charge. They are still in the early stages of establishment, and I look forward to seeing how they grow!

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The staff is always friendly and never makes you feel rushed. The interior is beautifully decorated, and I particularly enjoy the artwork on the walls. Although I'm not a big seafood fan, my husband loves it, and he raves about their fried fish sandwiches! I was really impressed with their Benedict BLT and popcorn shrimp. I would definitely recommend this place, even to those who aren't seafood enthusiasts, as they offer a variety of options for everyone. My husband and I dined there, and he ordered the fish of the day sandwich while I had the BLT. We even treated ourselves to dessert, and all of it came to just $30, which I think is a fantastic deal!

Exceptional seafood! As a fan of fresh New England seafood, this place is an excellent alternative when we're away from Massachusetts. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was lively without being overly noisy. We shared the chocolate and peanut butter dessert, which was perfectly balanced—not overly sweet. The cocktail menu also offered great options. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We began our meal with the calamari. My wife ordered the orange scallops, while I had the Land and Sea main course. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the service from Danielle was excellent. The music and atmosphere added to our experience as well. It was a fantastic first visit, especially as we were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary. It’s great to see another New Bloomfield native thriving. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. The seafood here is exceptional!
