- SGSean Gallagher5 days ago3.0Better if you like seafood as the non-seafood options are limited. I had Chicken Alfredo - plenty of it on penne pasta (wrong type of pasta for the dish, if you ask me) and it was meh. Plenty of chicken but not much taste to the sauce. But what was tasty was the hush puppys. I should have made them my lunch - very tasty. The 3-seafood dish my wife had she thought was very tasty. But I'd have to say that over $80 (incl tax and tip) seems a bit high for two people for lunch with no alcohol.
- HLHal LaCoursiereNov 3, 20255.0The service was off the charts excellent. Food was excellent
- JWJessica WattsOct 18, 20255.0The 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.
- RLRobert LambourneOct 15, 20255.0This 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.
- JGJewelz GarciaOct 7, 20255.0Did 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.
