We were looking for seafood and someone told us to go here. I ordered fried shrimp with hush puppies (have never had before) and the potatoes. Was amazing! My friend ordered the mahi mahi that was on special, was very good as well!

Liked the cat in residence. Ate outside and late. If you're not fond of "high" chairs, eat inside. Music performances not great, just so, so. Food pretty good, mostly fried bar food. Location good and walking distance to hotel.

Food was really good, but the drinks were even better...especially the chocolate covered banana! Ate outside on the deck, service was good and prices were very affordable

This is my favorite local place to go. I live nearby & I have been a regular for more than 10 years! My favorite thing is their macho nachos but everything I have had is great!

What a neat little restaurant. The nachos were so big it looked like something from man vs food. They were delicious. We were on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside on the deck. There was live music (one man band) that was really good and not too loud. The service was great and fast. We will return here again

I had a variety plate I forget the name but it was a great plate that included fried oysters, fried fish, fried scalps and other stuff. Surprisingly enough I had the best caesar salad I'd ever had here, completely unexpected.

Visiting off season. After late arrival, found this place. A beach hangout. Mostly fried food options. Offered a special of grilled tuna, shrimp and scallops with a wonderful zesty rub. Spouse had ahi special. Food very good. Lacks ambience. Service excellent.

We have eaten here over 25+ years and the food has been consistently good. I have essentially eaten through the menu and have not been disappointed with anything. My favorite dinner dish is grilled steak, shrimp, and sausage. A lunch favorite is fried flounder sandwich: Fresh, perfectly cooked large piece of flounder.
