Spondivits

Here’s what one Google reviewer says about Spondivits. “Second time here. It seems they’ve switched to market pricing, so our bill was a lot higher this time around. They also add 15% gratuity to bills over $50. Food was good, wife and I ordered 2 different crab buckets. The garlic bread was a let down at $9. Also ordered the key lime pie martini which I recommend!
“Overall, good dining experience. One weird thing was the waitress said they have a policy to stand there and watch you sign the bill when it’s brought to the table…not a big deal, just weird.”

One reviewer of the Smyrna location said this: “A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! The lb of KING CRAB LEGS were the best. Our waiter Kierra was AMAZING as well. The atmosphere was very nice also. Our food was done in a timely manner!! Loved it Last week, I had the 1/2 pound Snow Crab legs were small, but delicious as well. I loved the lemon pepper seasoning more than the all in one. However, they were both GREAT!”
