Yummy to my tummy! I came in for a solo lunch and I enjoyed everything! There was no wait and the food was fresh. To drink I have the Reverend Old Fashioned. As a frequent Old Fashioned drinker it was amazing! Foodwise I had their version of oysters Rockefeller, stuffed jalapeños, and hush puppies. My little soul was so content. What a cozy homey place. I will be back again!

Definitely a local hot spot. Not overpriced and really good size meals. Had my first oyster shooter with beer here.... Interesting.. Every seafood item was fresh. Loved the calamari too. Tasty, perfectly seasoned and flash fried, giving it that super crunch. Very attentive service. Plenty of parking and no wait time at all, for a Friday night. Good, family friendly establishments. It was not too loud either which was really nice to be able to enjoy dinner and company with yelling across the table.

We enjoy this restaurant and visit it everytime my son and his wife are in town. We often find the best oysters here. The service is always attentive but doesn't hover nor interject too often. The seafood is always fresh and prepared very well.

The food is always delicious but the star of the show is definitely the Krispy cream bread pudding. You are definitely doing yourself a disservice if you miss out on this!

Amazing! My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and found here! Heather is literally amazing! Such a sweetheart! I 100% recommend here! The food and drinks are amazing and so affordable! Don’t go to the beach front places. Come here!

We’ve had many good meals here but somehow I’ve never written a review before now. Even with an ownership change several years ago, it’s the same comfortable eating/drinking place with a nice local warmth. The food is always tasty and the sides are varied and plentiful. The drink selection has something for everyone. The wait staff is quite professional.
