Super awesome place to come get some seafood. Cool atmosphere, good drinks, and bomb food! We had the firecracker shrimp and it was delicious! I had the lobster mac and cheese, and my husband had the catch of the day. It was amazing, 10 out of 10. Our server, Zach was also very helpful and informative!

I would rate it 9/10 simply because of the wait time. However, it was understandably a busy evening but we still had to wait a while for our server. The food was absolutely amazing!! We had the grilled chicken sandwich with Mac &cheese and hamburger with fries. The grilled chicken was not dry at all and tasted amazing! The bacon was delicious! Fries crispy! Mac and cheese was great; however, the portion size didn’t equal the $3 additional charge. Overall, a great place with a great server!

We were so pleasantly surprised by this place. I ordered the blackened fish Oscar which was served with crab meat, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portion was huge! Normally places are so stingy with crab meat but at $28 this was worth it. I got 2 meals out of it. The flavor was delicious. My mother in law got the crabby mac and again with a huge portion. It was so delicious and creamy and had a great amount of crab meat. The fried shrimp was tender and flavorful. The service was also great. We will be back before vacation is over.

Can’t believe we got in! Worth the wait for the food. The portions are better than other restaurants on Oak Island and Southport. Asparagus spears by the dozen well cooked. The prices are $5 to $10 LESS than the other restaurants too. All the other restaurants are overflowing too. It’s summer and the crowds are here!

My kinda place, small and very good, the owner was in and very attentive. Sauces were very good, particularly the raspberry horseradish sauce for the shrimp appetizer. I had a mac and cheese plus crabmeat that was a large portion and delicious with Asiago cheese. Burgers were served around the table which were cooked to order so some pink was in evidence and appreciated. Just when we thought we were done they announced dessert which was chocolate or coconut cream cake. We opted for 3 coconut cream cake with custard layers in between and got huge pieces of cake. Super delicious and very very good. I woukd definately hit this pkace again anyway. Thank you forca great atmosphere and food.

We got in at just at the right time before dinner crowd started coming in so got seated right away. Emily was our waitress, and she is terrific. Didn’t describe. Pompano or barramundi correctly (former is a flaky fish, latter is more dense, and she said they were similar), but it’s ok, we knew the difference.

My husband and I are vacationing here from Iowa. We stumbled upon this restaurant for the first time on Sunday and we loved it so much we went back the next day. The pompano was delicately fried and delicious. The shrimp was breaded and fried to perfection. We were helped by two very lovely young women. Very fair prices. I want to come here at least one more time before we leave.. Thanks so much

Absolutely delicious. Got the grouper, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. They offer take out as well as dine in. They have high chairs and a kids menu. It would be nice however if the kids menu offered something other than the typical chicken tenders. A smaller piece of fish would be nice. But the food was great. Well done.

Went for dinner as a party of 8. We were seated right away as we came on the early side of dinner around 4:10. Our waitress was extremely nice and attentive and did a superb job. There was lots of food ordered but for myself I ordered the half basket of fried shrimp. It was really good! I added a side salad and also ordered the crab dip as an appetizer for the table. I really enjoyed all the food and would highly recommend anyone looking for a good spot for quick service and delicious, fresh seafood to try this place out!

I understand business, but this was bad. Ordered the 1/2 fried shrimp, 1/2 fried fish basket with onion rings, and asked for 2 tarter sauces and a cocktail sauce. Spent $25 on it, and arrived to my VRBO, and there was NO shrimp cocktail sauce or tarter sauce. I had to go to Publix while food getting cold and buy both sauces. The food was a grease pit, overcooked, and burned hush puppies. If he at the front would have included the sauces, I would have given 3 or 4 stars. I threw 1/3 out and gave my dog the rest of the fish. Sorry, but for $25 it was a terrible experience. I saw good reviews, but it wasn’t the case. Oh, I ate some of it so as not to waste the $25 I spent and then another $8 on sauces.
