★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Christian Teoli · Dec 2025

Food was definitely worse than expected, especially for the prices. Chicken came out pink and bloody and ribs were dry and over salted. The award winning mac and cheese was nothing more amazing, so overall a let down.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jessica Mayoral · Dec 2023

Restaurant looks very fancy when you walk in. However, ambiance is really laid-back. Food: We ordered burgers and ribs. abundance food, we ordered half rack of ribs, and that was more than enough. Burger was also big. Service: Everyone from the hoat to the waitress was auper attentive. Price: just average Overall, it's not a bad place to go and try.

Best restaurant on the island hands down. Went here for lunch and sat outside because it is more spacious. The inside dining room is a bit crowded. My server, Charles, was exceptional and recommended great drinks and desserts. My go-to bartender is Kristen, but she wasn’t there that day she makes fantastic drinks! The drinks were still good, however. I had the Mule. I decided to eat light, so I had the wedge salad. It’s my favorite salad on the menu always made right with the consistent memorable flavors. With this, I had the lobster hushpuppies. They were fantastic and even better with the aioli. For dessert, the poundcake was recommended which was a nice, light finish to the meal. It was simple and tasty. Overall wonderful place to dine if you’re on the island.

Grouper was delicious, chef's special, as was the brisket & ribs. A great dinner after a round of golf at Osprey Point!
