From the time me and my family sat doemen it was all down hill. Our server was very unprofessional. It took him 15mins to bring drinks then another 20 to take our order. Food came out code, my steamed shrimp was half done I had to fir them to be cooked more twice the third time I just gave up you can tell they bring me out the same ones tht I sent back just with more onions on it each time. The snow crab legs was small the butter was cheap & nasty, box mac & cheese.. Only thing good was the corn but tht was a work out also. The manager needs to be fired. But I'm that place won't last much longer reason I guess only 8 other customers was in there. They will close down soon with using low quality food & bad service! I could have stayed home kept my money & cooked. The waiter knew he wasn't getting a tip.

I had the coconut shrimp with veggies and red potatoes. Partner had Fish and chips. I also ordered a Pineapple Margarita, and we shared an order of the hush puppies. The coconut shrimp were perfect and the vegetables were seasoned well. The fish was well battered. The drink was worth a second visit all on it's own. The service was really quick. I feel like our meal was made in no time, and came out to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place, as the meal was great and for the price, this is definitely a good option you won't want to pass up.

We had fun! We certainly got the seafood fix we were looking for! 🦀
On the touristy side of town, for sure.

Excellent waitress!

Spent Tuesday afternoon in town, came here for lunch. It was amazing!!! The service was friendly, and the food was some of the best seafood I've ever had! The windows gave you a beautiful view of the historic town and the water. The watermelon crush cocktail tasted like jolly ranchers, YUM! I got the grilled mahi mahi tacos and red potatoes, and they were so good I had to take the leftovers home!!! My partner got the crab mac and cheese which was flavorful and moist, YUM!!!! I would definitely come here again.

We went there on a Saturday. It wasn't crowded at all. It does not meet accessibility standards. You have to go up about 30 steps to get to the restaurant. The restaurant can use remodeling its esthetically unappealing and it smell dirty. The buffet area still had dirty water in the trays. Something told me not to stay. Let's get to the food. I ordered cream of crab soup. It did not have any crabmeat in it and had these black stringy things in it. It wasn't good. Someone else ordered the gumbo and sent it back; that was taken off the check. The crabs were lights and not seasoned. The spice shrimp had no seasoning. We are crab and seafood conoseurs. We know good seafood and crabs and this spot wasn't it. My mom ordered fried oysters which the batter was heavily caked on and hard. She sent them back after taking one bite. Its so funny I've never been to a restaurant that didn't ask if you would like something else or take it off the bill until now. The Manager/owner said if you order it you have to pay for it even if its not to your liking and didn't eat it, the oysters stayed on the bill lol. The corn on the cob was dry with no butter, the fish and the buffalo wings were salty. The only things that were okay was the ribs and calamari. I will never patronize this restaurant again and if you go don't say I didnt warn you!
