Delicious burgers, shrimp and crab claws. The fried pickles as an appetizer were great as well. We had a group of ten and were sat quickly on the patio. Jade took wonderful care of us.

This place was great! We sat on the open porch. Service was really good given she had to run outside to get to our table. We got the seafood platter and the lamb sliders. Both were very good. We would go again.

My family and I went here on a "google random shuffle" and it didn't disappoint!! My boyfriend got the fried oysters and he let me try one and it was so juicy and the texture was perfect! My son and I got the fried shrimp basket and we loved it as well! I think our waitress' name was Olivia (forgive me if I'm wrong).She was tall and slender with brown hair, very sweet and soft spoken. But if we come back down, we will make sure to stop in! They also offer inside and outside seating, which is nice to have the option thanks!!

We got the cheeseburger and grouper basket for dinner! My husband said the grouper was very fresh. My burger was delicious and cooked just the way I asked for it. Our server Jamie provided great service and was so adorable! Our tab was less than 60 for two dinners, one appetizer, and 4 beers - so pretty good prices!

Stumbled upon this place and were really happy with the food and drinks. There are a few tables inside, but we opted to sit outside on the patio. We loved the fried grouper! And the burgers looked really good too. We will definitely go back!
