Not real fancy inside or out but definitely worth stopping. Great selection of seafood and really good pricing. I suggest the flounder and crab legs. Staff was extremely pleasant. We were there right around 5-530. We did not have to wait to seated and once we ordered the food can out very quick and there were 7 of us.

I recently visited this location for my first time. Here's the way my experience went: Pros: The wait staff was very friendly and efficient, and their timing for everything was spot on. Our food was delivered very quickly, and everything was hot. The fried flounder was probably as good as any I have eaten in a restaurant. Hot hush puppies... More

We had lunch there, looking for the real deal. We found it. We had the best fish in this simple restaurant. We chatted with the table next to us about what we were ordering. I had the shrimp sandwich, my wife a crab cake sandwich. Delicious. Outstanding! Reasonable prices and really good fish.

Our family has been eating here for many, many years while on vacation. My parents are now 'locals' and eat there almost weekly. As my 17 year old son says, "the atmosphere lacks color . . . until the food arrives: then the rainbow of yummy-ness explodes all over the place!" The restaurant decor is very 'blah', but if you're... More

I ended up coming here with some friends for dinner and my buddy had a hankering for oysters, so we decided to come here. I'm not a local, but my friend was and knew this was the place to go. The exterior doesn't look all that excited. The interior isn't much better, granted the bar area looks worlds better than... More

Hush puppy maker was on the fritz when we came through, but the shrimp was excellent as always. Always a good standby. Family owned and operated so its a great way to support local business.

One of the best steamed oyster restaurants in the area. Excellent staff and service. I've known the owner for over 40 years.

The employee smoking area is right outside the front door and they don't stop as you enter, the lemon for your water and seafood comes in a packet, the butter for your baked potato is'nt real butter. might make sense if the meals were under $5. But for a $20+ meal, you expect more! The scallops were very good but... More

This small restaurant on the main road through Emerald Isle provides very good seafood at very reasonable prices. It is not fancy, but it is worth a visit. The shrimp burger and the oyster burger are both excellent. The fried clam strips were tender and tasty. Breading on the fried items was light and complimented the seafood. Non-fried options were...
