★★★★★ 5.0 Konstantinos Fatsis · Mar 2026

This place is a golden treasure just waiting to be found. Down to earth, inviting, nothing fancy, priced right, and most importantly good food. Casual attire and welcoming. Portions were good, food was delicious, and staff extremely friendly and were more than willing to answer all our questions. Yolanda, our waitress (in the picture, was exceptional). Grilled scallops were amazing, delicious, and cooked to perfection. The blackened shrimp in turns out are a local favorite and understandably so. Recommendation, for $4 more upgrade from 1/2 pound to 1 pound. More to share with those not ordering them themselves. Mac and Cheese was amazing. Soft drinks include free refills. Overall, I can easily give this place and its staff, from our waitresses and the cooks, a 5 star rating and I rarely gi

I would give this place a 10 star rating if I could! Its a small dive only a hop and a skip from I-95 that's turning out amazing seafood. We had "small appetite" baskets of fried shrimp and oysters with a side of fried okra. The shrimp basket had 10 large shrimp and the oyster basket had 8-10 oysters, with all of it fried to perfection and seasoned perfectly. I can't imagine how large the regular baskets are! The fried okra and hush puppies had a nice crunch, and the beer was ice cold. Our waitress Abbey was friendly and checked on us regularly. Don't miss this place if you are in the area and feeling hungry. We will definitely be back on our next trip down I-95.

We stopped here because it was on the way home from Jekyll Island, and it did NOT disappoint👏👏 Bathrooms were very clean. Tables were wiped and ready for you to sit down. Our waitress Eulonda was phenomenally kind, knew exactly how much time to give us to choose. My beer was ice cold and the other drinks to the table came out fast. We had 2 fried shrimp 🍤 baskets. The shrimp was crunchy but moist. The fries have a separate coating on them that give them an extra crunch. Hushpuppies were perfectly fried, seasoned and a good size. Also to the table was a ribeye steak sandwich. Tender meat, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and condiments come on the side, came with 1 side, I chose coleslaw. It was also good, especially with fresh cracked pepper and salt, which they had on the tables. Sp

★★★★★ 5.0 Tony Swann · Oct 2025

Okay, I know what you're thinking because I was thinking the same thing, how good can a shrimp joint be, right of the interstate? Let me tell you, FANTASTIC! My wife had the 1/2 pound shrimp, it appeared a tad more than a 1/2 pound, delicious! We on our way from home from 10 said on the Gulf Coast, JB's blew everything out of the water that we had on the Gulf. I had the grilled Flounder sandwich, it was excellent. Service was fantastic. The entire restaurant is decorated with fishing equipment. Do yourself a favor, this is a MUST STOP. They even gave a military discount.

Great place to eat clean seafood that’s cooked correctly. Staff is very on top of things and knows the menu well. Traveling through the state and I’m glad we stopped in for dinner.
