Eliot PardoApril 11, 2015Everything is so mothershwackin' good! The burgers (dem buns!), the tortilla soup was fantastic, buffalo blasters were a spicy little treat... can't wait to try more stuff!
Michael MorganAugust 24, 2021Great food! Affordable too. I also like the fact that they serve alcohol here and have a pretty good size selection of beers on tap. The fish tacos are BOMB! The burgers looked great too.
KatNovember 18, 2014The beef is too dry, the grilled fish would be fantastic if they made it much less salty, so I settle for the chicken which are great. I prefer the fish if they could fix them. Great little place!- Kevin DulinDecember 31, 2016Beef wasn't great in the burger but the bun was great. Fish tacos were fantastic. Good soup and beer list, and great value for money!
April WaltersApril 2, 2020Everything about this restaurant is so damn perfect. The crews also are very accommodating and never tried to do unnecessary works that bothered me. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Billy AmpAugust 22, 2019One of the best Salads I’ve ever had! Fresh, nice outdoor sitting after a great beach day!
- Travis McclendonJanuary 13, 2016My "Big Al's bacon burger" was very tasty and juicy. Must double up on the meat patty. Cold beer on tap is a winner!!!

David SkinnerApril 16, 2017The pulled pork tacos were excellent. Don't forget the $1 cookies. Fries are great too.
CharlieJune 29, 2014Very Delicious whole wheat Breakfast Wrap Egg whites, Spinach. mushroom and ham. Delicious Salsa.- Get the Shaka Fish Tacos, you won't regret it. They're spicy so ask for light Pico if you can't handle it.
Bridget WillardFebruary 17, 2014Try the Feta Spin Fins (appetizer). They're like spinach dip in wontons!
