  Juicy Seafood has become a staple in the Rochester area. Located in the Henrietta area, This spot has been a favorite amongst my friends and now it has grown on me!
  
  I usually order the Create Your Own: 1/2lb clams, crab legs, and shrimp (no head). The first time here, I chose the juicy special seasoning and turned the temperature of spice to hot. Well-seasoned, not over cooked, and the bag included corn and potatoes! I purchased a side of sticky rice (a must) to soak up the seasoned juice that was leftover in the bag. So good!
  
  The second time coming here, I picked the combo option of mussels, legs, and shrimp. I turned the temperature down to mild. I will say, the spice level WAS underwhelming (My mistake). The seasoning did taste different. This time around, the thyme overpowered the rest of the seasoning. Wasn't all that bad after squeezing some lemon in the bag, but definitely a different taste. I'll be returning soon!

  I didn't know what to expect when I pulled into the the Juicy Seafood (JS) parking lot, adjacent to Wendy's. I was greeted by a beautiful array of lights on trees, which proved to be an amazing spot for post-meal photographs!! However, given Henrietta Rd. is not Henrietta Oceanfront, our expectations were that of a Rochestarian suburban eatery. Upon walking into JS, I was immediately greeted by all the signatures on the wall, a homey touch to our dining experience.
  
  As we sat in our seats, we were promptly welcomed by unexpected six-legged friends - . Now, we don't know if this was related to the HUMIDITY or JS's juicy cuisine (which may also appeal to ants), but it was certainly a surprise.
  
  After a slightly complicated ordering process, we got to listen to today's best hits on the John Tesch radio show, such as "Dancing With a Stranger." When the food arrived, I was faced with three baskets of fries, one of which I didn't order. Any seafood comes in a broil bag, turned upside down, which helped keep the heat and flavor (and JUICE!) contained until we enjoyed our seafood, sausage, and chicken tenders. The fries did need a little extra salt, and we were delighted to be provided with sea salt, which me reminded me of the ocean ;). We did have to remind them about our calamari order, which apparently explained the extra fries! Cajun and calamari are pretty similar ;)
  
  Overall, the food was decent and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Service was appropriate for the restaurant. Conveniently located sink outside of bathroom for hand washing needs.
  
  Would I come again? Not intentionally. But, JS may be in my future if I ever find myself aimlessly wandering the streets of Henrietta.

  I must start this review off by saying, Rochester has some good restaurants!
  
  Secondly, I have never eaten somewhere they bring you a bucket o' seafood in a bag full of sauce. That being said, I don't have a frame of reference. Maybe there are better places that serve seafood smothered in sauce.
  
  Also, it seems at Juicy Seafood, the day of the week and time you show up impacts your experience. I went on a Thursday at 8 and I had a great dinner.
  
  The exterior of the restaurant is warm but looks like a repurposed Ihop. The interior is inviting but not unique.
  
  The servers seemed helpful, fun and up to answer any questions. After the brown paper goes over the table....it's game on!!
  
  I ordered a combo, there are baskets and other items on the menu but for my buck, combos are the way to go.
  
  I got the juicy seasoning at medium spice. It was good and just mildly warm. Next time I will try hot. FYI, juicy sauce is friggin amazing. They should sell bottles of it. It's so good....some would probably drink it. ‍
  
  The seafood was great and the corn and potatoes complemented it well. Meal portions are excellent, you get a lot for your buck. Next time I will probably order a extra corn. Corn with juicy sauce is tight!
  
  I enjoyed my visit. I will likely return and I will recommend this place to friends.
  
  You will lika the juice!

  My favorite place in Rochester hands down. The large portions are great and the seasoning is amazing.

  Ever since Joe's Crab Shack and the Original Crab Shack closed, Rochester hasn't had a seafood restaurant like that. The restaurant reminds me of Boiling Crab in California.
  
  The interior is nautical theme with wood and rope everywhere. You can sign the walls and benches if you can find a permanent marker. After a 10 minute wait we were seated. The host lined a piece of white paper on our table.  She then brought over a bucket lined with trash bag that included bibs and gloves. There is a sink on the back wall.
  
  I ordered Combo Special A: black mussels, shrimp and snow crab with the juicy special seasoning. It came with corn and 2 potatoes. This was $25 and very filling. It was good minus the fact I didn't get anything to break the crab legs. I also ordered french fries, it comes lightly breaded with cajun seasoning. I really enjoyed the fries.
  
  Both times I that I dined here were on a Saturday. The line was long and out the door. It was very disorganized in the waiting area. The floors had garbage from the previous patrons. No one had bothered to clean it up.
  
  The first time we dined here our waitress was all over the place. She would tell us one thing and do another. For example, she was ready to take our orders and as soon as we said our order, she said she would be back. She was scatter brain and just a hot mess.
  
  DO NOT order the raw oysters. They are from Mexico, most oysters in this area are from the Northeast. The oysters were too meaty and chewy.
  
  I would return here when I am in the mood for a variety of seafood smothered in sauce.
