“ 20 piece Shrimp, coleslaw and baked potato were delicious. Great service from Brian. He remembers what you ordered down to the fact my husband requested no ice in his drink. He was fantastic, with us, and 5-6 other tables of customers. All were happy with him. Definitely worth the visit and highly recommend. Clean restaurant and had clean restrooms. Nice music playing during meal ”
“ Waitress was terrific and accommodating to special orders and bring hot crab legs at intervals vs. all at once. Food was good and cooked right. Portions were wildly generous even the Sr. Menu. Down home atmosphere. Safe bet for a good meal and great value. ”

The stuffed flounder is always top notch. The cheese grits are a favorite. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. The interior could is utilitarian with some neat ocean decor. The food is definitely a must try. We have been coming for years and will continue. ”
“ I visited last Thursday night with family for a Birthday celebration. The staff were awesome in accommodating such a large party. The wait staff service was awesome them worked diligently to take order ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious I had the platter for one with blackened fish, shrimp, oysters, clams the taste was on point, but I did not care for the presentation of the dish. Over all the experience was wonderful and I will definitely be returning! Ohh my cousin had the all you can eat shrimp and they were fried to a golden perfection and seasoned to a delight! Pros: Great wait staff Clean dining area Clean restrooms Ample parking Delicious food ”
“ Do you want a generous portion of expertly fried seafood? If the answer is "YES"... read on. Fried green tomatoes. Hot tart and juicy. Crisp well seasoned fried shrimp, pollack(close enough to a catfish flavor), crisp, sweet Cole slaw and fried okra. Ok. You aren't gonna get healthy here, but for your fried fish fix.... yeah, do it. ”
