★★★★★ 5.0 Casey Mozingo · Apr 2025

We went in late night after our plans to go to another restaurant were ruined because they closed an hour early, but I am so glad we came here instead. The pork cracklin’s were so fresh they were still popping when they came out! We ordered what I would equate to pub food, but it was delicious. Atmosphere was nothing extra, but the staff was helpful and there was live music. We’ll definitely be back.

Not a lot of choices for late night food in Greenville, North Carolina. Someone at the hotel recommended this place. Was a little worried -- it's a really small bar/microbrewery -- but beggars can't be choosers. Service was really good. Waitress had a great personality. Drinks were real good. Food was above average but spicy. Overall no complaints all things considered. Probably wouldn't eat there at 7PM but YMMV.

We were heading back from Washington and in the mood for a seafood lunch. Saw this option online and gave it a shot from the reviews. Everything we got was great re: portion and taste. The Sunday brunch menu looked good, but we opted for the more reviewed crab dip and pasta. Did not disappoint! Service was good and place is medium sized. Smothered Kraken fries app was a meal itself and drowning in cheese sauce for you fellow cheese lovers out there.

Excellent Everything! I was just there today for the 1st time. It's a Tuesday about 3pm and there was about 5 other patrons. Service was excellent. The server came by many times to make sure I didn't need anything and asked how my food was. I asked if the shrimp broil was spicy and she requested the chef go light on the spice and that helped. She explained menu items perfectly and said that the kids burger was half the size of an adult portion, but that adult burger must be huge because the kids burger was bigger than the ones at McDonald's. My kid requested I cut it in 4 sections. Fries delicious, shrimp excellent, chef gave me garlic butter on the side per request and I also had the gumbo. Taste was amazing, loved everything that was in it and it was topped with rice. I sent pics to m

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike · Apr 2024

This place was laid back and dim lighted for a nice date. The food was good. The Cajun pasta was on point. The shrimp Po boy was good also. Our server was great he even went and found out if the shrimp were deveined, which they are for anyone wondering. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.
