Is there a casual restaurant in town that serves good, fresh seafood? I'm looking for something along the lines of Joe's Crab Shack (which I have heard they have no plans to build one here ); not as expensive or white-tablecloth as Landry's. A little less production-line than Red Lobster, and something that offers steamed seafood as an option (I don't want a place that solely fries their food). I can't say I craved Joe's before, but I'm really desperate to find something similar now that I'm in a place where there isn't one.

Hmm, okay, that's a start. I've only been there once a few years ago, but it still seems a little more upscale than what I'm looking for.

Anything where you can buy a bucket of crab legs or crawfish and get a bucket of beers with it?

Check out Wentzell's on Wynn Drive just south of University Dr.

There is also Tim's Cajun Kitchen on Jordan Lane - they have crawfish I know, and a good beer selection.

Wentzell's is good but it's mostly fried. I see where the OP is going with the bucket of seafood. There is a place in Guntersville that serve it that way called Crawmama's ( Crawmama's Restaurant Guntersville, Alabama ).

Tim's is my favorite for Seafood.

There is a place called "The Cajun Cafe" it's out in Lacy's Spring and may or not be worth the drive depending where you are or how the food ends up being, it's uneven.

PoBoy Factory does fry a lot of their stuff, but you can get a bucket of crab legs and a good beer.
It's almost always packed and the service is prompt, but quick, nothing like Joes.

I was in Louisville the last time we ate at Joe's. Our wait was at least 2hrs! But it was Saturday. It was really good and I have enjoyed it in Bham before.

But Tim's followed by PoBoy are the best places for what you described.
