★★★★☆ 4.0 Zach Attack · Jan 2026

We've ate here many times, it's always consistent and great service. Never ran out of our beverages and she checked on us frequently. Food was very tasty and came out quickly. There is a good amount of menu options to choose from.

★★★★☆ 4.0 RobertsMom NC · Jan 2026

Good breakfast spot. Has a good vibe. Staff was attentive and kind. Omelette was good. Not an overly generous entree but it was good. Enjoyed looking at all the merchandise items they sell.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cheryl Pochard · Sep 2025

We really enjoyed this place. I had the crab and Jack omelette with grits and an English muffin. My husband had Farmer's omelette which has ham, sausage, bacon and cheese. The service was great. The only complaint I had was I didn't like the coffee, but I would definitely go back again. I also enjoyed the gift shop which had cute stuff and good prices. (Sorry about the picture, I was almost done with the omelette before I realized I hadn't taken a picture. It originally went completely across the plate.)

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tom Snow · May 2025

This review is actually a 4.5 star review. First time here. Food was absolutely delicious. We tried several apps (fried green tomato, oysters mockafella, shrimp and crab dip). All apparently were a hit. Several of us had the fried bounty of the sea. The rest had the Broiled bounty of the Sea. For dessert we tried a slice of the cheese cake, coconut cake and the cheese cake. All were delicious. Thw menu has a good selection and tge portion sizes are good. Had a couple of the classic margaritas which were very tasty. The service was amazing, and every one was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is very casual and relaxed . We will definitely return.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Karl W · Sep 2025

We had a nice dinner here here. It's geared toward NC food choices. I'm sure any fried item is terrific. My broiled fish was good. Hush puppies were great with honey butter. The steamed shrimp was good as well, but a little messy to eat. The salad had pre done dressing that had been in the freezer and not thawed. Not any vegitarian items on the menu.
