Customer Reviews
We had the most wonderful server, I believe her name was Susan. She put up with our crazy (and polite) party. The food was absolutely sublime. You did have to wait a bit but the view was great so we didn’t mind it. If you love crab dip, I highly recommend.
Delicious food and waitress was friendly and attentive. Restaurant is right on the water with fishing pier out back. You can dress however you want here, dress up or casual, and you'll fit in. Sometimes can be long lines to get in, but well worth the wait. The building itself could use a refresher, but I also feel like a great seafood place looks like this place though too.
Was told an hour wait, got in within 5 minutes. Got a lovely booth with a great view of the water. Our waitress was absolutely amazing, super attentive and kind to our family. The food was incredible, the seafood tasted fresh and the crab cakes were some of the best I've had. Highly recommend!
yeah this place is amazing. every time i go here, the water is always quality and the service speed is fair. yes, the water quality is important. it is usually packed but if you get there about 3:45 you can get a table when they start seating around 4. i got the grill special and it was really good! the steak was amazingly cooked and the shrimp and crab were exquisite. overall such a great place and i will come here whenever im in the area.
Beautiful waterfront location, music on the backdeck and a 1 hr wait ( tell ya anything) the hostess offered bar seating since it was already 6:30....we accepted. Lucy the bartender/server was great. They offer a version of a mini meal but I still had 9 fried shrimp. Fried, not greasy, hush puppies and fries. Hubby had a pasta dish in a cream sauce, both were very good. It was a good stop for our first night and we darted across the highway to catch the sunset. No tall tales here...just good food
