Lawrence ComdecoSeptember 6, 2013Pleasantly surprised! coleslaw didn't have a traditional taste (tasted like they add sweet pickles)-which was a delightful addition & twist to a traditional recipe. Fried shrimp-cooked to perfection.
Kris McGrathOctober 11, 2014Half pound of shrimp for lunch and the cocktail sauce is delish! Make sure to leave a note in the lav!
- Theresa FiegeJuly 28, 2015We usually by from the freezers to take home and cook. The crab cakes are good - made fresh on the premises then put in the freezer.
Cecily RodriguezAugust 23, 2014Love this place! Food is great and we walked in on a Sat. Night to live Johnny Cash and Allman Bros tunes. Lots of fun.
Art MacNewJuly 11, 2013Seated and drinks in hand within 5 minutes. Waitress was pleasant and had our food out to us pretty fast. Got mostly fried and all was just right!!- Lawrence ComdecoSeptember 6, 2013While the shrimp dinner was good, the clam strip app wasn't up to par....had a strange taste and was rubbery...and I Love clam strips...so this was disappointing.
Jon BevisJuly 5, 2019The 12 oz sirloin was good. I didn't like the Mac and Cheese as it was bland. The wait staff was friendly, and the drinks came out quickly. The kitchen was a bit slow, but the wait wasn't terrible.
Crystal AdairDecember 31, 2016The coconut shrimp my husband got was fresh and tasty, but fries were not very good that came with it. I ordered the veggie burger, which was also not very good. Overall this place was so so.
Charles GibbsNovember 14, 2012Owned by hippies in a former McDonald's. The business is apparently for sale. A shame considering how amazing the food is.
Katie HaireAugust 25, 2013Crabcakes were bland. I ordered a bbq sandwich that had no bbq sauce on it. The waitress put a side of cold soy sauce with it? Mac n cheese was clearly microwaved. Forgot my hush puppies but no loss.
- Keith JacksonSeptember 25, 2020The clam chowder look like dirty dish water. The coleslaw had too much vinegar.
- Keith JacksonSeptember 25, 2020My wife said the clam chowder looked and tasted like dirty dish water. The coleslaw had too much of a vinegar taste.
Ryan McMurrayJuly 6, 2013worst service ever. waited 20 minutes and still didn't even get served a drink. what a waste of time.
