    The food is so fresh and delicious. Best crab cake I have had in my life! You can take a fishing charter and eat what you catch at the restaurant. They will filet it and fry it for you. They also have a nice shop of fresh catch fish you can purchase to make at home. The views from outdoor seating is amazing too.

    This restaurant has: Excellent food Excellent service Short or zero wait time Indie and outside seating (Hard chairs so take a seat cushion.) Beautiful view of the water Good prices with Specials on Tuesday. We go as a group every month, and Shanon gives the best service ever.

    Did some research and found this little gem. I stopped in on Saturday around 5:30 and was seated right away. I ordered a cocktail and some oysters and then place my order for my entrée. My cocktail and oysters came out fast, but my entrée came out super fast. Excellent service excellent food excellent location I was in and out of the restaurant within 30 minutes if you’re looking for some great fresh raw oysters and excellent crabcakes, you definitely gotta try this place.

    Crab dip was ok chips tasted stale. Fish was good soft and flakey! Jumbo shrimp was good but cooked too long so chewy. The coleslaw was rancid...literally tried before they mixed the dressing in and found the actual cabbage rancid. Better crab dip at bay local and hair of the dog eateries. Mojito came out like a shot of rum over ice in a plastic cup. Lucky they didn't muddle the mint cuz then I wouldn't have been able to see that it was mostly brown. If you're looking forward to a good meal...don't bother with this place.

    This place was terrible. We were sat at a table where the air conditioner condensation was dripping onto the table. The flies were annoying. The Cole slaw was disgusting. They brought out slaw with some dressing slapped on the top, not even mixed together. Total waste for $60+ dollars for 2 fish platters.
