Ethelle PantinoMarch 10, 2016BBQ platter add snow crabs and corn bread is more than enough for 4 adults! It was soooo good! Love the food, love the ambiance and love the live band :) will definitely be back.
Nicole SchmidtFebruary 25, 2013The pulled pork, catfish and brisket are amazing! I haven't tried any other items yet but friends said the ribs were fantastic too. We had a very attentive waitress even on a busy Sunday evening.
Ming MingMay 28, 2015If you get the brisket, make sure you ask for mix some fatty pieces. Mac and cheese and deep fried pickles are good to go!
Justin LyFebruary 24, 2015All you eat crab and we got the best service ever and her name is S - Andie. Must come here if you haven't been:-)- Amanda HollisterSeptember 24, 2020The Mac and cheese was amazing! And the crab sharing bucket was perfect! 😍
Tiff AnyFebruary 18, 2016It was such a shame. Two of the four bottles on our table had turned. Don't get me wrong, the food is great. But sauce is supposed enhance the food, not retract from it.
Ignacio GuffantiAugust 3, 2017The only reason I come back it's because I live across the street. You need to wait forever at the door to be seated. Service extremely slow. My wife finished her beer before they brought mine.
David CaiMarch 15, 2010The the all you can eat snow crab legs on Sun & Mon! It's $38, and they are good quality. You will be happy and full!- Lila RothJune 3, 2013Our table had the crab special....definitely not worth the price they were asking, but it was well done and they kept it flowing..had the steal personally,was over cooked. Service was good
Dan FreemanFebruary 1, 2011No joke on the slow service. Don't worry about being hungry, you will be once your food shows up. The food has been really good so far. Hopefully dessert will be here within the hour.
Lachlan GriffithsOctober 8, 2011Don't let the appearance from the outside fool you, this place is solid.

"It's a good idea every time I go here – friendly, attentive service and some of the best (veggie) eggs benny in town! I would recommend them, but their weekend line-ups are big enough already!"

"If you like beer drink it before you arrive. Good selection of fun and bourbons"
