★★★★★ 5.0 Carrie Merrill · Feb 2026

The food itself is excellent, as are the cocktails, all at exceptionally fair pricing. Those things alone are worth going back for. Then, add the service of staff who are extremely efficient while still maintaining a warm and friendly environment during peak business hours. A truly wonderful experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a family oriented place to dine. Call ahead to arrange for a large gathering (ie, birthday party,. anniversary, etc.) The food is fresh. Restaurant is clean. Service very professional and friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is happy. Lively. Warm and friendly.

★★★★★ 5.0 David Randall · Sep 2024

The bride and I travel to the county and tried this little place in Mars Hill. I had the fried whole clams and the bride had the lobster roll. Both were delicious and we would recommend them highly. The beer was cold and the atmosphere was not over the top but quaint and county like. There is out side seating and a small bar sit 8 or 10 if I remember correctly. All in all a really good experience and we will travel the 107 miles again to try something else on the menu.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jennifer Daniels · Sep 2025

Getting seated was easy,placing the ordering was easy, the food eas delicious. The waitress never checked back to see if everything was to our liking. Another staff member cleared our plates after we had been done eating for 15 minutes. It took another 10 minutes or more to get our bill so we could pay to leave.
