about 10 miles from my house. Wife treats me to dinner on my Birthday there every year! It's a regular thing, the shrimp is awesome, and the beer is cold!

Are you in the neighborhood and want some sea food with a Sanfords vibe? This is the place for you. Everything is pretty good, but not great. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here, but usually only do as a matter of convenience.

The crab buckets were pretty good. The place is a bit noisy for us at our older age. It also seems to be a bit pricey for our taste. I cook crab legs at home, and think I will continue to do so. But, for those who don't, this is the place to get them locally.

If your tired of the assembly line seafood from Red Lobster give this place a try. I suggest a steam basket which you can get containing different combinations. Lots of flavor. They have a full bar with some fun "ocean-friendly" themes like Shark-Bite. The servers double as entertainers while you eat as they get involved with the music playing doing... More

The only good point of the visit was that it wasn't very busy when we went in and we were seated right away. It went downhill after that... The service was poor, as was the product served. Once we were seated we had to wait about 8-9 min for our waitress to get done talking with the people that were... More

This is one of those places that puts cute before quality. The menu includes a variety of combinations of crab, lobster, clams, sausage and crawfish. But sometimes if you can't do it well it just comes off as a poor parody of the real thing. This is the case here. If you have ever eaten fresh PEI lobster, or had... More

Sitting and eating seafood in a coastal atmosphere made the experience great. All that was needed is the smell of saltwater in the air. A bit pricey but the experience was worth it.

large menu with something for everyone! Presentation very plain and sometimes sloppy, though. My local Joe's in Delaware is slightly better overall.

Service was very good, if a little too personal. The food, however, was bland and my order was incorrect. MIL had been ill and couldn't eat much so asked for a specific order and was told there would be absolutely no problem. They never did get it right. Almost tripped on a board that was sticking up right at the... More
