“ Me and my daughters went here this eve for dinner. We had the crabs and my daughter had some oysters raw. The crabs were fresh hot and very good!! The service wa amazing by Lilly. Very kind and always attentive to our needs. The manager was very hospitable and kind as well. If your hungry for crab it’s the place to go I personally didn’t get all the sides as they fill you up and it’s more money but my daughters did. The hush puppies were good and they said the shrimp and soup was also good. They bring you a tray of 9 crabs out to share and keep sending you more a you need them. ”
“ You can tell that the seafood is fresh in this place since you arrive and smell everything. We tried the broiled seafood a d everything was so tender and fresh that almost melted in our mouths. The atmosphere is very beachy and lay back which we love. The service was outstanding! We definitely we will return to this restaurant! ”
“ Perfect place to get seafood. We stopped while on our way home and couldn’t be happier with everything! Food was delicious and the service was great. We got the crab soup 5/5, crab cake sandwich with sweet potato fries 5/5, and the fish tacos with curly fries 5/5. Absolutely no complaints. We would definitely come back. ”
“ This is one of the classics of which there are just a few left. The steamed crabs are excellent so you’ll pay for what you get. Six sizes seems a bit much. Overall large menu is a crowd please with wide range of options. Staff is amazingly friendly regardless of the time of day. Interior is an authentic throwback and well done. Worth going a bit out of your way if you’re passing through. This is a great example of why people should “shop local”! ”
“ Really tasty and the service really good to be a busy day. Definitely coming back and i hope that Doug (i think that was the name) takes care of again!!! 5 for him!!! ”
“ The food is always amazing. I enjoyed 'The Seafood Feast'. It's meant for two people, but . . . . . The pricing is fair. Whether you're inside with the a/c or sitting under the ceilings outside, you will LOVE this place. I'm certain you'll be satisfied with any Staff member, but if you get Davis, he will surely take great care of you; GREAT service! ”
“ This place was absolutely great. Food was tasty, staff bubbly and friendly, and service was great! I had the Cream of Crab soup, blue hawaiian cocktail, broiled seafood platter, and lava cake with ice cream for dessert. I had a lovely time and I'm sure you will too! ”
